Lessee … Saturday was mind-boggling, but in a way, just the usual, well, Saturday night.

Last night **Winning Customer O’the Night** :

She’s on the phone as I walk up to the window, which I pulled open juuuuust in time to hear, _"I KNOW who my baby-daddy is!!_ … I just don’t like him."

Y’all, the sheer _indignation_ in her voice! It was … {chef’s kiss} priceless.

She went on to repeatedly assure whoever was on the other end of the line that she knew her babydaddy, throughout the entire transaction, until finally even I was thinking, “Slut, you have no idea, do you? Why does your friend keep _asking_?”

Lessee … oh, for a while last night we were so dead quiet that my manager, of all people, started a game of Hot Potato with a dough ball.

I eventually felt a bit left out and wanted to join in the reindeer games … but my reflexes are almost as bad as my memory, and y’all, my own boss promptly got me _right_ in the face. She’d made eye contact, gently pitched me a softball, but … yeah, I still suck at catching things.

I thought it was funny as hell, though, and enjoyed re-telling it. (“Did **Sweet Manager** tell you she hit one of her employees smack in the face with a dough ball?!?” with mock outrage.)

Plus I got sent on a work errand mid-shift to fetch supplies from one of the other franchise locations, and was laughing like a lunatic in my car at the fact that the directions from my manager mostly involved dispensary locations (“Go past X then turn right up at the next block. Once you pass Y dispo, it’ll be on your right, after the weird gas station.”) which turned out to be both precise and easy for me to follow.  
Which also meant I got to sit my tired ass down for a while in my car and ~~get a break from friggin’ “Jingle Bell Rock”~~ crank up Led Zep.

Tonight we were absolutely _dead_ for the last half of the night, but there was an order earlier for **eleven large** (!!) all with extra sauce _and_ extra cheese that kinda redeemed revenue. (The whole crew was like, “Damn, where the party at?”)
