| | The restaurant has been in disarray for the past couple of weeks. Our waitress quit so we've been short-handed so I've been tapped to work weekends until we're able to fill the position with someone capable. This process usually takes a month and it's quite stressful and amusing at the same time. This past Sunday my mom was sharing this cute little story.
So this is my adapted version (translated for your convenience) of my mom's phone conversations with a potential candidate:
Friday:
Older Gentleman: Hello. Has the waiter position been filled?
Mom: I'm sorry but someone had already replied to the ad and is staffed now on a trial basis. But if you want to leave your number so I can reach you if it doesn't work out...
(pause and then click)
Mom: Hello?
Saturday:
Same Older Gentleman: Hello. Has the waiter position been filled?
Mom: Sorry. We're still trying out the current candidate but if you want to leave your number we can call you if
(pause and then click)
Mom: Hello?
Sunday:
Same Older Gentleman: Hello. Has the waiter position been filled?
Mom: (quickly) Sure... no problem. Let me get you're contact info...
(click)
Mom: (smiling & giggling) HA! I beat him to it this time!! I win!
So it turns out my snarkiness gene was inherited from my mom's side. Hehe. |
