The Sauce Of All Your Issues
At certain times of the day, we’ll have one of our people stand outside and hand out sauces. These all occur back-to-back.
Me: “Hi! Any sauce for you?”
Customer #1: “Fine, thanks! How’re you?”
The next customer:
Me: “What kind of sauce can I get you?”
Customer #2: “No sauce, just barbeque.”
The next customer:
Customer #3: “Can I get some [Competing Chain] sauce?”
[Customer #4] speeds past me, stops by the cart of sauces, and stares me down. I run to catch up.
Me: “What can I get you?”
Customer #4: “Oh, nothing for me, thanks!” *Speeds off*
The next customer:
Customer #5: “Can I have twenty [sauces]?”
Me: “Sorry, there’s a limit. How many meals do you have?”
Customer #5: “Just one.”
And my personal favorite, an older man, driving slowly:
Me: “Hello! What can I get for you?”
Customer #6: *Grinning widely with excitement* “CHICKEN SAUCE!”
