The 'a while more' woman
Friday, 25 May 2007
I don't know why, but for this past wk I've been crazy over Big Ben's pies. I love their crust the most. Unlike those flaky kinds u get at pastry shops, these pies have a hard crust. I had steak and guinness pie for dinner, then chicken and mushroom pie for lunch the next day. The latter is the best so far from all those I've tried.
At the counter serving me, was the same lady again. I call her the 'a while more' woman. Don't feel as pissed as before. Few wks ago, she really got my blood boiling when she REPEATEDLY told me to wait a while more when I just wanted her to give me an estimate of my waiting time. Oh, I forgot to mention that she resembled Ruhua (a hideous-looking woman on Wu Zhong Xian's show).
So, I visited Big Ben's Place twice this wk (for dinner and lunch). When I went there for lunch, she recognised me. She was friendly towards me that day. I bet she only recalled me going the previous day and not a few wks ago (that fateful day when she got my blood boiling). Most probably becuz I didn't tell her off that day itself, which I seriously seriously regret. Not that i like telling pple off, but I felt tat I shd have stood up for myself. By repeatedly telling me to wait 'a while more' when in fact she had already made me wait for 25min, I felt like a fool. It was like she didn't treat me seriously as a customer. I was having takeaway and she actually made me wait alongside those dining in. Takeaway and Dine-in are 2 different queues. Standard procedure!
Yes, but that's all behind me now. I still think she resembles Ruhua. Hahaa. I've satisfied my cravings for pies but I feel another craving growing...... HOTDOGS. I'll grab one for lunch tmr before I head for work.
