Cafeteria Suck

[Amina516]

So, I walk into the hospital cafeteria yesterday and before I pick up a tray, I am bombarded with signs EVERYWHERE that the credit card machines are down, and the cashiers are only taking cash. The signs were IMPOSSIBLE to miss...really..all I did was walk down the hall to the ATM and grab some cash and came back.

Anyone want to guess how many people I saw try to pay with their damn cards while I was waiting to pay? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

LIKE FUCKIN 5!! (while I was there..i cant imagine how many other people tried)

This one took the cake (i was standing right behind her in line)

Cashier: That'll be $4.89.
DumbEmployee: Ok...*hands over card*
C: I cant take cards here.
DE: *giggles and trys to hand card to cashier again*
C: *bores death seeking rays into her skull*. I can NOT take credit cards, the machines are down. I need cash.
DE: *giggles again* Oh, but its not a credit card, its a debit card.. *
C: I cant take ANY cards, that includes debit.
DE: OH, well can I get in that line over there and pay with my debit card??
C: *by this point looked like she wanted to back-smack her* No...ALL card machines are down.
DE: Well, what am i supposed to do?
C: Walk to the ATM down the hall?
DE: Oh....I really dont want to, but Im hungry. *sigh* Where can I put my salad?.
C: Leave it here. I'll watch it........next!

DE leaves very dejectedly as if someone shot her puppy. Who wants to bet that when she came back, she walked straight to the front of the line to pay? lol.

And I really would like to know why the hell she kept giggling?!?

And I really would like to know why the hell she kept giggling?!?

Two theories:

1. She figured the signs couldn't POSSIBLY apply to her, because she's just that damn special...too special to read the signs, too, naturally!!

2. She thought she was getting one over on the system and was giggling at her sheer brilliance at using debit instead of credit because the cashier apparently didn't know the difference and wasn't as brilliant as she, herself, was.

"I have a couple places in mind."

Because some people giggle every time they open their mouths to speak.

No, really, they do. They speak, then give a nervous titter. Every time they open their mouths. I've met many of them, mostly while working with the public.

Those are people I would love to see fed to piranhas.

Oh yeah, that's damn annoying. Doesn't matter what they say, it's followed by a laugh.

Heaven forbid these people ever get in to positions where a degree of solemnity is required.

"Hello Mrs. Smith. *giggle* I'm sorry, *giggle* but your husband's surgery was a failure, and he's brain dead *giggle* Would you like to say farewell before we take him off life support? *gig* *BLAM*"

[RecoveringKinkoid]

You laugh, but I have met people for whom this would not be an unbelievable situation.

Gaaaah...

[blas]

I've met a lot of girls like that. And I can't wrap my head around the fact that some guys go totally gaga over that. What in the world is so attractive about giggling like a hyena in heat before/after every single phrase?

Or even better....the few phrases they actually speak are usually just really, really stupid observations.

"Hehehhehe giggle giggle goo goo gaa gaa...it's snowing...hehehehehehehe!!!"

"Hehehhehe! Oh, my phone is ringing...hehehehehe!"
