Proof That Listening Is An Artform
These all happen within about three hours of each other when I greet customers on my shift. Each one is a different customer.
Me: “Hi, welcome to [Restaurant.]”
Customer #1: “Fine, thank you.”
Next…
Me: “How are you today?”
Customer #2: “There are three of us.”
Next…
Me: “How many?”
Customer #3: “Fine, thank you.”
Next…
Me: “Are you paying all together?”
Customer #4: “No, I am paying for everyone.”
Next…
Me: “How old are the kids?”
Three-year-olds and under eat free.
Customer #5: “They are both three.”
Kid: “Nuh-uh! I’m five and she is four, Mama!”
