The story just needed some background, but seriously I'll get onto it; All day I've felt awful, first knowing I was about to get four teeth pulled, then eventually having them pulled. And the day just got worse and worse until just about an hour ago at 7/11. It was nice having an employee there successfully turn my day around today. I was involved in a lucky streak with the lotto tickets today, ever since turning 18 it's been a terrible downwards spiral (imagine absolutely no sarcasm), yet somehow I manged to turn it around today. Sauntering into a certain 7/11 which will remain anonymous because I believe this incredible employee was... overtired? Is it not clear what I mean? Forget about that (however keep in mind I was following the dental hygienist's orders to stay hydrated.) Anyways, I sauntered into the place ready to claim my price from the government and get a taquito and all I wanted was the most spicy, crunchy, piping hot taquito in store, but instead I actually had to ask for the softest taquito. To make things worse the employee had these bad ass dreads that made me long for when I had my "flowing locks" and this guy also had some really droopy eyes. Bottom line is he seemed very cool... and he gave me a good suggestion, the jalapeno cream taquito. Apparently this was the only taquito at 7/11 that didn't have anything more difficult to chew through than the outer-shell. It also pleased one of my three vices in the taquito domain. I'm also about 99% sure he gave me and extra seven dollars. I recall walking into the place with $18 worst of tickets and intently watching this man swipe my lotto tickets to a grand total of $18. But I'm not angry that I walked out with an extra seven dollars. But maybe I didn't I wouldn't want to get this guy in trouble, maybe I'm just not remembering the story correctly right?
P.S I know it may seem as if all these posts are about harassing people at work, but I try to be kind, and in this cold weather it's hard to find anyone to give you the time of day at all. I intend on persevering though, I try not to let myself stress out about that kind of stuff. If your a half glass full kind of person, then you must understand why I know someone soon will drop some truly gnarly knowledge. Thankfully I was given some good advice from the dental office for today, I don't know how else I would have made it. Adios mis amigos though!
At least he wasn't a jerk about it.
ReplyDeleteIf you're already in the customer service biz, you might as well try to be a pleasant Perry. Working in retail has taught me one thing: the costumer needs to shut up. But hey, at least you got mexican food.
