I Scream For More Ice Cream
(I work as a server for the elderly residents.)
Resident: “What sort of ice cream is there?”
Me: “Vanilla, strawberry, and peach.”
Resident: “Chocolate?”
Me: “No chocolate.”
Resident: “You said chocolate!”
Me: “No, I said vanilla, strawberry, and peach.”
(She rolls her eyes and grudgingly orders vanilla. When I bring it out, she looks disgusted and asks the manager to come here.)
Manager: “What’s the problem?”
Resident: “This is too little ice cream! I wanted more!”
Manager: *to me* “You must bring more ice cream to her next time.”
Me: “Okay. I was under the impression that she only wanted a bit, but okay.”
(The manager helps me scoop out more ice cream for her, and I resume my duties. Guess what I saw when I went to clear the resident’s plates after she left? A full bowl of untouched vanilla ice cream! Crotchety old bat.)
