PINK PUSSYCAT: A Girly DrinkWho has actually dined at Billy Bombers, please raise your hands. Not many eh? Well, we do have drinks called Pink Pussycat and Green Grasshopper; both are flavoured sodas which Clara and Faris have tried before.
So I had to work last night and oh my goodness gracious.... Joe made me run Section C and the alfresco ALONE! I was actually teamed up with Louis but since there were so many customers ordering drinks and milkshakes, he couldn't possibly help me cos Joe appointed him as the barista for the night.
Two Caucasian gentlemen (clad in business suits) were sitting in my section and one of them ordered a Pink Pussycat. He asked me, "What do you think about that?" and I told him that normally, it's the ladies who order that drink. Hahaha! He looked at me and said something like, "Ok then, I'll go with a Green Grasshopper. I don't want any girly drink."
Once his soda was prepared, I took it to his table, placed it in front of him and reminded him that he didn't order a "girly drink". His partner cracked up; laughing at the top of his lungs. Nice people, really generous customers as well!
THEY FRICKIN' LEFT ME A $10 TIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ten dollars leh! OMG! $10!!!11!!!1! But I didn't get to keep it. BAH! The cash is gonna go to the company. (I am trying my hardest to hold back my tears. 10 bucks!!!!!)
Enough of that already.
There was another group of American Chinese kids sitted in the alfresco and duh, I had to take their orders and serve them. Not that I hate doing such stuff; I'm a waitress afterall. But it was a huge group man. We're talking about.... 11 teenage kids!!
While keying their orders into the computer, I lost track of the number of set meals I had already keyed in and I panicked right on the spot. I went psycho! Thank God for Garry. Seriously!! He's a supervisor despite being only one year my senior. Pro eh? If he wasn't around at that time, Joe would have given me an earful.
We got things figured out and those orders were sent out within 5 minutes. Whew!
After those kids were done with their meals, they all walked past me and personally thanked me for my service! WOW!! I was so overwhelmed. A huge tip followed by gratitude!!! Amazing.
Punched out only at 11.30pm. Went home with a *mushroom. Wahahaha!
