It honestly felt like something out of a movie. Long Shortly after graduating from high school, I got a job working as a waitress at a local restaurant. It was a pretty popular place, but really boomed during the holid

    Font - A few days before Christmas, a woman came in wanting to pay for and pick up a phone order. Now, to be clear... There were 7 pages of takeout orders. Each page had about 10 to 13 orders. I ask for the name on the order, and she gives me 3 (saying that she isn't sure who placed the order and she's just in charge of picking it up). I look through each page, and find a few matches. None are the correct order, though. As I reach the last page, I tell her that we don't have any more orders with

    Organism - The conversation goes something like this: Me- I'm so sorry. We don't have anymore matches for those names. Her- Well, it's got to be one of them! I don't know why this is so hard for you! Me- Maybe it would be easier to search for the order, itself. What exactly are you picking up?

    Font - Her- How am I supposed to know that? I didn't place the order. It's your job to check me out and just get it to me! Why is this so hard for you? Me- Well, unless there is another name to search for, I'm not sure what else I can do for you... There were about 75 orders placed for this weekend, and I don't have any other way to know which is yours. Her- Are you complicated. Are you stupid or something? You are working a register. It cannot be that hard. kidding me? It shouldn't be this

    Font - Me- Okay... How about I read the names of each order, and you let me know when something sounds familiar. We can go through each order, that way. fine! If that's what you have to do, to do time, I guess Her- your job, then just waste my (then she muttered something under her breath, that I didn't quite catch... She definitely used the " though). I get about half way through the 1st page. Me- "Complany X?" Her- Yes! That's it! I smile wide. A genuine and true smile, ear to ear.

    Font - Me- OH! Do you work at Company X? Her- Not that it's any of your business, but yes. Now hurry up. This has taken way longer than it should have. Is it even ready yet? Me- Do you know the owner? Mr. X? Her- Yes... He is the one who organized the party. Why? Me- That's my dad (smiling even wider than I thought possible). I'll have to tell him about this! What a small world!

    Font - Her- (The color visibly draining from her face) Your- Me- Yup! My dad! Who would have known! I'm actually going on my 30 when l'm done, here. I'll have to give him a call! l'm sure he'll love to hear all about this. Before she had a chance to respond, I turned around to grab her food. I spent the rest of that transaction just positively glowing... Basking in her silent panic, before saying "Goodbye! Have a wonderful day! I'll be sure to tell my dad that you said 'hi'!"

    Font - It. Was. Beautiful. Edit: I told my dad about it, and he was absolutely livid. Mostly about the fact that she would dare to speak to someone in that way, while actively representing the company.
