I worked an opening shift at the pub. There was an event in town yesterday, so we were expecting the pub to be very busy early on. Because of this, there were a lot of us scheduled on to work. Normally we have three people on duty when the pub opens. Yesterday there were eight of us.
Opening time arrived. We unlocked the doors and waitied. No customers. Not even the regular alcoholics who normally hang around outside the doors. Strange. Oh well. It gave us an opportunity to stand around doing nothing.
Suddenly, two customers arrived. Horray! A couple. They looked very sweet and happy. They walked in holding hands, headed up to the bar and ordered their drinks. They then picked a table that was in the middle of the pub, dead centre and near the bar. They sat down and put their arms around each other. D'aw!
You may be wondering why we were observing the couple. It wasn't intentional. We were all stood behind the bar chatting, and the couple happened to pick the only table that was right within our line of vision and could be seen from any part of the bar. It was impossible not to notice them.
He started kissing her. At first it was just little pecks on the cheek. This made me cringe a little bit, as I loathe public displays of affection. Within the space of a couple of minutes, the little light kisses turned into longer ones. The kisses got longer and more passionate. Suddenly, it was full on make out session. They were eating each others faces in the middle of the empty pub, while me and my co-workers looked on in horror.
We tried to distract ourselves by finding little jobs to do. We tried to do anything that meant we didn't have to look at them. But as their kissing got more passionate, the noises started getting louder. You could actually hear them as they ate each others faces. Then moaning and gurning started.
CW: Oh my God! Someone has to say something!
Me/Every other co-worker: Not it!!
CW: He's biting her!
It was true. He had moved on from kissing and was now biting down on her neck, as she clawed into his back.
CW: I'm going to go get the manager!
CW stormed out the back. Suddenly, the couple stopped. The girl had gotten up and was heading for the exit. The guy followed, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around. He ran up to the bar.
SC: Do you guys know where the nearest hotel is??
CW2: Uh yeah there's one at the end of the street. Turn right when you leave.
SC: Thanks!
CW2: Have fun!
They left. CW disinfected their table and chairs afterwards.
