“Didn’t you hear?? We got a g-g-g-g-ghost, Locrian!” These are what my friends are all telling me this week. These are people who range from all backgrounds, 30-47 years old, some married, some divorced, some have kids…
Here’s their story: A few nights ago, a worker put in a food order from the touch screen system to the kitchen. It never went through for whatever reason. He fixed it with the chef and got the food.
At 5:15 am, well after they’re closed, the ticket finally prints in the kitchen. (The time stamp on the Kitchen order is 5:15 AM.) Same worker opens the next day, but the ticket isn’t in the machine where it usually prints… IT’S HANGING WHERE THE TICKETS ARE HUNG BY THE CHEF! No one has been there since 2:30 am!!
They’re also wondering why there’s NO CAMERA FOOTAGE at that time. They say, the ghost turned it off. That is until I pointed out that the cameras act when there is significant movement and a receipt being printed won’t trigger it.
“Well, then, Locrian,” they inquire, “how’d it get taken from the machine and go up to where the orders are, huh? HUH? Miguel said he didn’t put it up there. Devon said he didn’t–”
“They’re pulling your legs, guys. Besides, this ghost is pretty unlucky to be haunting a bar in a strip mall in general suburbia and not some cool place. Even though it was printed at 5:15 am, I doubt it was the ghost of John Entwistle from The Who.”
“No, they’re telling the truth.”
“Maybe they put it there and forgot they did it? Maybe someone else came in after you close?”
“Nope. We have a ghost. You–You’ve never seen one??”
“I saw about a hundred ghosts when I was six, then I turned seven and they seem to have disappeared,” I said smiling.
Then I’m hearing about EMF signals someone has from the kitchen and the bathroom on their smartphone EMF detector. :rolleyes: I had fun sending them some BS about how the bathroom tiles are really egyptian symbols used during funeral pyre ceremonies, some start taking notes.
I will have a lot of fun on Halloween with this bunch, I tell you.
