Within 20-30 minutes, I had thrown my hair into a ponytail, put my ugly uniform on and headed out to my old, beat up car. I really needed a new one, but the pay on this job sucks dog shit. My boss told me thatwe were supposed to arrive 30 minutes before we actually open, so here I am, walking in at 8:30am on the dot. I sign in, showing that I am here today and start preparing the cheese for the day. Once the clock hits 9:00am and the door is unlocked, people start strolling it right away. Everything had been going fine until an...odd customer had walked in around 11:00am, and I had to be their waiter. Can I even call that a customer? It was this big blob wearing mysterious clothing as if they were a detective. I sighed; let me just get this over and done with. I hadn't been listening much to take the customer's order, I just did my usual. "Would you like extra cheese?" I asked. "Double extra cheese, actually." they replied. That sounded like a lot... "Isn't that a bit much?" I asked, worried about this customer's weight, They told me to triple it!!!! "Um, I'll have to see if we have more cheese..." I told them. They smartly replied with, "If you can, top it off with cheese!" Are they crazy?! "Miss, or sir, we may have to order more cheese at this point." They looked up at me and said "This is an outrage! What kind of a place is this!!" I decided this person was a women according to the voice. "Well miss, there are other people who order cheese as well-" "This cheesy place should kind of have cheese, you know!!" she said, interrupting me. I ignored her comment and asked, "so you wanted a salad with cheese--" "Wow, you got my order all wrong!!" she interrupted me again. Why does she keep doing that?! This conversation may take a while.... "I'm sorry! Did you want cheese with cheese and extra cheese?" 

"If you think you're getting a tip, you are very very wrong."

"No, miss, please, I'm going to go broke soon.." I trailed off. 

"Forget it, I'm sueing you." 

"What?! This is my first job here! Wait, is it even possible to sue me for not getting your order right?"

"See you in court. And I demand a new waitor!!!" she roared. Gosh, what a cranky one!!!

"Okay okay! Gosh. Theresa, please get your ass over here." I yelled out to her.

"Yeah Theresa, hurry up I want cheese!!"
