The Order Doesn’t Have A Sheen To It
(I’ve ordered a hamburger and onion rings in a cafeteria inside a supermarket. I pay for it, the cashier writes my name on the order, and I go find a table. For the purpose of this story, let’s say my name is Sheena. After a few minutes, I see a cafeteria worker walking around the tables with a hamburger and onion rings looking for a “Shane.” No one is answering. When she reaches my area:)
Me: “Could that possibly be for Sheena?”
Worker: “No, it says, ‘Shane.’”
(She heads back to the kitchen. The guy at the next table has been watching all this, so I comment:)
Me: “I bet you that was my order.”
(Over the next ten minutes or so, I hear the workers in the kitchen occasionally saying something about “Shane,” and then an announcement over the intercom saying that if there’s a Shane in the store, could he please come to the cafeteria. A few minutes later, the cashier who originally took my order marches into the seating area, comes over to me, and asks:)
Cashier: “Are you Sheena?”
Me: “Yes.”
(She rolls her eyes, hands me my order, and stalks off back to the kitchen.)
Me: *to the guy at the next table* “Told you that was my order.”
