Their Listening Is Scrambled
Australia, Coffee Shop, Ignoring & Inattentive, Jerk, Melbourne, Overheard, Victoria | Right | July 15, 2020
I’m in the outdoor dining area of a busy cafe when I overhear this:
Customer: “I’ll have eggs, please.”
Waiter: “Poached, scrambled, or fried?”
Customer: *Instantly defensive and angry* “No, I SAID EGGS!”
Waiter: *Without blinking an eye* “Poached, scrambled, or fried?”
Thankfully, the customer’s friends all burst out laughing at him, and he seemed to realise how rude he was to assume the server was trying to up-sell him anything.
