Sub-par Navigation
My first job was at a sub-themed fast-food restaurant. One afternoon, we were slow, and a customer wandered into the store while I was sweeping. Only one other customer is inside the store, already eating their food.
I greeted her and asked:
Me: “Do you need any suggestions?”
Customer: “No, thanks.”
She then proceeded to examine the menu so intensely that it was weird. I continue sweeping. Five minutes later, I notice she’s still looking, so I ask:
Me: “Have you made any decisions yet?”
Customer: “Uh, yeah, I saw that commercial for the $5… pizza deal? But I don’t see no pizza here.”
Me: *Mentally facepalming.* “The Dominos is two stores down to the left.”
Customer: “Oh, thanks.” *Leaves.*
Other Customer: *Who had been sitting there eating his sub.* “She was standing there for literally five minutes.”
Me: “I know. We don’t have the same color scheme as Domino’s. I hope she didn’t get lost going two stores down the street…”
