Somewhere down this journey of life I found myself in the very rural suburban lands of Pearland, Texas. I mean, it's nice....if you're not brown. To best describe it, it's kinda like watching an episode of 90210 while reading the adventures of tom sawyer in huckleberry fin.....at the same time.
Anyhow, a guy get's pretty hungry in laguna farms. When I'm hungry, I like to go to wingstop. one, because they have the best tasting fries I've ever set my lips on. Two, because it's located directly across from my apartments. I go there at least once a week, and yes, i'm one of those guys who orders the same thing every time. This is not because i'm afraid of change, I just know what I want.
Completely random, but I think one of the rudest things ever is when someones checking out at the cash register and they're on their phone. The cashier just kinda has that look on their face like, "really?", then there's that awkward moment of waiting for them to finish the conversation for they can have this exchange of goods. that being said....
What? I can't help it! It's like as soon as you get in line someone messages you with the juiciest gossip ever, or some random girl sends you a smiley face. Anyone who knows guy code, knows that if a girl sends you a smiley face you're kinda obligated to reply back. It's funny too, cause whenever i'm in these situations I always make it appear as if i'm rushing though my conversation. Or I'll shove my phone in my pocket and look super attentive as if to over compensate for my rudeness.
Whatever. Cashiers don't have souls-- anyhow.
I ordered what i always ordered, #2 combo with a tea, and the girl ask me "sweet or unsweet". she says this and in my head i'm like, "what good customer service you have. how thoughtful, because i would of forgot to say sweet". I would of took a sip of some unsweetened tea, spit it out, then I would of had to slap somebody. cudos.
So I tell her, "sweet tea, please :)", and she responds in the sweetest little voice.
*sigh*
I spent like 6 seconds trying to think of a way to respond to that without starting off my comment with the word, "bitch!".
why would she do this to me? I mean...she knows we're in the south...she sees the brown skin, OBVIOUSLY, I love my sweet tea. so why? understand, in her telling me "we don't have any sweet tea" she mine as well of said, "the apocalypse is coming and you only have 24hrs to live-- starting 22hrs ago." wtf?
I was so angry...I just wanted to throw her in the air and do some Dragon Ball Z shit to her.
Dust my hands off and call it a day, right? nah, I'm not that barbaric.
I kept it cool. I mean, I'm sure it wasn't her fault. It's just a bunch of leaves mixed with water and sugar. Then above all things, I'm a nice guy. I was raised to have manners. SO...I shrugged if off and just calmly said.....
JOKING.
I'm not that mean of a guy. who do you take me for, a cave man? That's just what I was THINKING of saying. I know how to filter my thoughts out to something reasonable. Like I said before, I'm a "nice guy", I have manners. So what I really said was....
see. I didn't say "fuck" this time <--- makes me a nice guy :).
and the response to follow....
-___-". *sigh*
you see, I have this thing when I talk....I speak in a very sarcastic, mono-toned voice. So, no matter what I'm saying, it just comes out sounding funny. And half the time, I'm really not trying to tell a joke. When I say things like, "yes you deserve to die, and I hope you burn in hell", I actually mean, "I think you deserve to die and I hope you burn in hell". There's no punchline...no underlying moral...I just don't like you. But...people just laugh at it anyway.smh.
I took this opportunity to shrug it off and let her make it. Like i said, it's just a bunch of leaves mixed with sugar and water. Then secondly, the cashier was kinda cute...so that adorable over bite of hers saved her on this one. I just got the second best thing to sweet tea, lemonade, grabbed my cup and sat my ass down on the bench while I waited for my food.
I don't know why, but a disturbing fact didn't hit me until like 5 minutes after I got to my seat. When I went to get my cup, I saw a employee in the back pouring a container of sugarless tea in a already half full unsweetened tea container.....while it was sitting right next to an EMPTY sweet tea container.
Now, I'm not CEO of wingstop. I'm not in the fields with those asian people pickin baby tea leaves, BUT...wouldn't common sense just tell you....
this is my blog
and IamVERYthirsty.......
And very angry. Or just impatient? Whatev.
