Don’t Literally Bite The Hand That Feeds You
I am about to hand a couple their food at the drive-thru when a Chihuahua suddenly appears at the driver’s window and starts barking and snarling at me.
Me: “Oh! Wow, they came out of nowhere!”
Driver: *Endearingly* “Yeah, he’s a crazy little guy.”
Me: “Yeah, haha. Could you maybe put him aside while I hand the food over? He almost went for my hand.”
Driver: “He’s tiny! I don’t think he could reach you.”
Me: “Still, I’d rather you moved him aside while I hand the food over.”
Driver: *Moving the dog but looking inconvenienced* “When you work in a drive-thru with all this nice-smelling food, you should expect to be bitten! I worked drive-thru, and I was bitten once! I just brushed it off and got on with my day.”
The woman in the passenger seat speaks up at this.
Passenger: “Honey, you worked drive-thru at a bank.”
Driver: “You’d be surprised how badly people react to being told they’re overdrawn!”
Sorry, but you just expect me to be okay with being bitten by a dog? No, thanks.
