"Can you give me a pack of Marlboro?"
"Sure." I go and get his Marlboro's and come back.
"Um, lights."
Okay, he didn't say lights, but whatever. I go get his Marlboro Lights and come back.
"Umm, 100's."
I stop and stare at him. "So you want Marlboro Light 100's? Anything else before I walk back over there? Because whatever I grab, is what I'm bringing back and that's what you're going to buy. I'm not walking back again."
I can't stand when people won't tell me the full name of what they are going to buy BEFORE they watch me go and grab the wrong thing.
I'm a fast worker. You tell me what kind of cigarettes you want and I run to grab them. Only takes me a second. So don't do this:
"I need a pack of Marlborrrrooooo (here's where I'm walking to the Marlboro's) Liiiiighhhhtts (Putting my hand on a pack of Lights) umm...100'sssssssssssss (Moving my hand up to the 100's) ummm,....Box....
At this point I've tried grabbing your cigarettes 5,000 times before you decided to spit out what you want.
Quickly. Say these things quickly! I don't have time to guess what you want while you're dealing with your hangover or smoking withdrawal from the night before. Don't blink your crusty eyes at me because you just woke up at 3pm on a Wednesday.
Please...just keep the line moving!
