As I deliver a meal to a family beside the entrance, I hear the doorbell and am greeted by a winter breeze. Speak of the devil, there he was, striding towards the heart-shaped podium. As much as I don't want to serve him at all, I don't have much choice, it'll cost this place valuable money if he leaves! I walk up to the podium grumbling to myself, then put on my best smile. Gotta keep up my patronage.
"Hi! Nice to see you again, Colin! How are you today?" I greet, taking a menu from the podium. "Hey there, buddy! Today's great, but I have a meeting in 10, can we make it quick?" With one flick of his wrist, he shoots me with a finger-gun and grins. I subtly roll my eyes as I lead Colin to an empty table. Thankfully the place wasn't packed, so I was able to seat him in a corner away from the others. After jotting down his usual, I rush to the kitchen counter and stick it on the spinny thingy.
It's gonna be a couple minutes for the order to be ready, so I take the time to check on the customers. And by that I mean just watch what that cheeky Cellphone Addict was up to, peeking at him from behind a pillar. It hasn't even been a minute yet and the dimwit was already yakking away on his phone! Shocker. Ugh, just looking at his rectangular face irritated me! I just didn't get how he could be such an inconvenience to others with his lack of awareness. It made him come across as a dick most of the time, he's even caused some customers to leave due to his motor mouth! How rude!
I can hear him talk all the way from here. He nods as he says, "Oh yeah, I'm waiting for my food right now! It's taking a bit long though, I wonder what's taking so long?"
Oh please, it's only been a minute! Why is he so impatient all the time? That was another thing I disliked so much about him. He was not only noisy, but was also a pain 'cuz he expected us to work at the speed of light! Not even Barb the Businesswoman was this hot-wired! It must be because he thinks he's better than all of us, being this big money hot shot from Big Corp and all. Ha, what a joke! He does pay a decent amount though, the only upside to serving the irritating Cellphone Addict.
I hear the dinner bell ring, and soon I've set Colin's food in front of him. "Thanks! Looks good as always! Almost as good as-!" Ring-a-ling-a-ling! "Oh, sorry! Gotta answer this!" He answers the phone again as he takes a bite. Classic Colin.
