A whole new batch of stories for you all, enjoy.
The Regulars
If you work in any food-industry job, you'll come across the regulars. The people who come by daily (or close to daily) and get the usual. My co-workers and I can see them driving up from the main road/parking lot and have their order already made by the time they get to us. We have:
Mr. Jiminy - glazed twist, med. coffee w/ 3 creams
Mr. Muttonchops - Lg. coffee w/ 4 sugars
Mrs. Phone - 1 glazed old fashion
Mrs. Coffee - 1 Lg. cappuccino 1/2 & 1/2 mix of French vanilla and white-chocolate caramel /w two extra scoops of French vanilla powder
Mr. Dozen - (if I recall right) 3 jellies, 1 maple-bacon, one cinnamon roll, 4 Bavarian cream, 2 red velvet, and 1 blueberry cake.
Mr. One-Glaze - 1 glazed donut (he comes by usually within 2min of us opening, he's typically our first customer)
Mr. Echo - Sm. coffee /w 2 creams, 2 Splendas & a cinnamon donut
Mr. Hill - he either orders a cinnamon donut or a powdered donut, we make bets on which.
Mr. Trainer - 1 strawberry iced donut and 1 old fashioned, a Sm. coffee, and a Sm. orange juice.
The Twins - their order usually consists of 2 of the same type of donuts. They also wear they same brand and model of clothes, just in different colors.
Mr. Cake - this guy gets a chocolate-iced cake donut and another cake donut of some sort. When they're in season, he'll replace the latter with a pumpkin-spice donut.
Mr. Blessed - this man usually gets a Lg. coffee w/ 2 creams and maybe a plain cake donut. He'll leave and wish us all a "blessed day".
Doppelgangers, Video-Game Characters, and Homeless People; Oh, My.
This is just devoted to all the people I've seen come and go through the store that
really stood out.
Video-Game:
Maxine Caulfield? - Yes, I saw a teen who looked exactly like Max Caulfield from the
Life is Strange series.
Doppelgangers:
Set #1: I saw Maddie_Amity's doppelganger while working. For anyone who doesn't know Maddie, she's HT's resident emo, self-proclaimed drowned-rat, and keeper of Noodlechan, her cat. Anyway, this woman comes in wearing autumn-colored clothes and shawl, her makeup is the same tone as Maddie's, and she has the same colored hair and facial structure. I was odd.
Set #2: this one is between our Mr. Cake, a regular, and a man who came by with his wife. I almost got the latter man Mr. Cake's usual order.
Set #3: we have an almost regular come for a cup of coffee in the afternoons, she's very nice and energetic. I'll name her Mrs. Sunshine. Well, one day, I thought Mrs. Sunshine came by and got a coffee with half a packet of Splenda. A few hours later, the actual Mrs. Sunshine pulls back up in a different car. I asked her if she was came by earlier and for that half a Splenda'd coffee order, she says, "no". She gets a good laugh when I tell her she has a doppelganger in town.
Homeless People:
So far, only two have really stood out.
#1: this is actually a sad case. The man-I believe-has schizophrenia. He talks to his reflections in our windows and he'll use our bathroom mirror to talk to himself. Being a psychology graduate, I know people with actual schizophrenia are very unlikely to commit random acts of violence. Typically, they only get violent when they're trying to be restrained. Needless to say, the random ramblings and inappropriate questions can get unsettling, he seems to think Mr. Bossman is a racist for some reason. He asked me about that and asked me to make sure he wasn't a racist.
#2: this happened two days. A man came by and asked for a manager, wanted to make an appeal to one's good nature for some food. Well, Mr, Bossman was gone and Sharp, the store's 2nd manager, was not on shift. That means Maria would have seniority. Anyway, she told him she's not authorized to give out free-food that the store makes. That being said, I was tasked with the breakfast run that morning. I know, breakfast food for people who make breakfast, it happens. Anyway, the only place open that early in the morning and that close to work was a MacDonald's. I hate MacDonald's food for the most part. Anyway, I got 12 sausage biscuits for the whole store's crew. Maria gave this man 3 of those biscuits as it was our personal food, the man was very thankful.
Broken Home Remedies
This is a funny story, and it's very important you know Maria is a Hispanic-American to start. It will make it funnier, I promise.
Maria, Sharp, and I were on shift, we were all restocking the papers, boxes, and refilling trays with donuts. Well, I stepped on Sharp's foot and she stood there in silent pain. Apparently, I stepped on a
corn on her foot. Well, here's what followed in dialogue:
steps on Sharp's foot
Sharp: X-X
Maria: what's wrong, Sharp? o:
Sharp: Grimm stepped on my corn, it hurts. ;~;
Grimm: my bad. o-o
Maria: surprised you haven't dipped that thing in glaze. :P
Sharp and Grimm: xD
Grimm: sounds like one of those home remedies. I think Sharp would use an
old-fashioned instead. xP
Sharp: Stahp! xD
Maria: *putting on her thickest Hispanic accent and broken English* [grabs a piece of a broken old fashioned] You rub dis into foots.. work.. miracle! ^-^
Sharp and Grimm: xD
This is the kind of bullshit I love at work.
