Lot 43

I used to live in a vibrant neighborhood of Minneapolis filled with young people, culture, and opportunities (and a fair share of hipsters). I gave it up to live in a trailer park and work in a tourist town in rural Wisconsin. These are my observations.

A customer told me he received the poorest service last night. It was supposed to be an insult, but I know I can do worse. Challenge on.

I like to free boob.

Overheard.....at the Trailer Park

Wife: Well if you wouldn’t fucking fart all night long.

Husband: *Door slam, tire squeal, drive away.

My coworker actually still uses the term “colored people.” I have to get out of here.

I just saw a guy wearing a white had ride a moped up and down main street in Reedsburg, WI. Trying to holla at some hotties?

Vocabulary differences

In Wisconsin Dells, holla(r) means to scold.

In Minneapolis, holla(r) means to greet.

So, when I told the other waitresses that I was going to holla at the customers that just walked in, they looked at me like I was crazy.  I just meant that I was going to bring them menus and tell them about the specials.

I love small town grocery stores. They always smell like donuts.

Tonight at the restaurant

Table B1 - Your kids are fat assholes.

Table B6 - I could tell you were a bitch before you walked out on your order.

Coworker with the 80s haircut - Yes, I am quiet.  Please stop telling me that every time we work together.  It’s getting awkward….kind of like your haircut.

Goofy looking bald man - I wish all my customers were as deliriously happy as you.
