custies say the darndest things

at register talking to a co-worker when a customer walks up.

me: what's the key to a long life?

co-worker: swimming

me: ahhhh

custie: and drugs.

me: i dont know about that.

custie: yup 

me: why don't you go down to the north ave bridge and ask a local crack head if drugs are the key to a long life, b/c im pretty sure they won't be living that long.

custie: crack is low end, im talking about high end drugs.

me: oh.

co-worker laughs and asks the custie what he wants.

this didn't happen to me but it happened to someone else at my work.  our fly sit. is o/c right now.  what do people expect. there is food sitting out all day, doors are constantly being opened and closed and the cafe is right on the lake! 

but no people expect there to be absolutely no flies.  dude, flies are a part of life! get over it.  if we weren't a society obsessed with germs and cleanliness maybe a couple flies wouldn't warrant bitching out a coworker.

the funniest thing a custie has said about the flies was from a middle aged female (they always complain).  she said she came to our cafe on her vacation and she is now spending it swatting flies.  she claimed "flies are ruining my vacation"  and asked my co-worker if she'd want to eat here under these conditions.

sorry lady, but we not only have to eat here, but we have to work here.  so chill i don't feel sorry for you.
