Grumpy Breakfast Buying

deird_ljI yelled at some cafe people this morning.
I'm usually a pretty nice customer, actually.
But really - correct procedure for selling someone food is not:
- take customer's order, take her money, put her croissant in the toaster thingy to heat up.
- neglect to give her back her change.
- ignore the fact that the croissant is almost done and wander off to do something else.
- note that croissant is burning, tell someone else it's burning and wander off again.
- come back, notice that croissant is now very black, take it out of the toaster, and walk off.
- when customer starts pointing out, in an annoyed fashion, that she still hasn't got (a) her change or (b) her breakfast, roll your eyes and walk off.
- come back a minute later, dump change into customer's hand, and walk off again.
- when customer starts getting upset and says "But I still don't have my croissant!", inform her that it's burnt and you're going to make another one... as soon as you've taken the next guy's order.
Yep. I yelled.
*sighs*
*munches croissant*

My brain is breaking over our election results, and we won't have much idea who has won till 3am or later, looks like. This sleeping, having breakfast and getting lousy service in cafes thing seems very far away. (ETA not only because you are *actually* very far away... brain is melting.)

I giggled a bit.
