i closed at work for the first time yesterday. it was really frustrating b/c we kept having customers after our store hours were closed. during the day, i received my first unhappy customer...

customer: how much is it?
me: i think it's 2.19.
(customer getting his change).
me: oh wait, it's 2.39.
customer: what?! you told me it was 2.19!
me: oh, i didn't know that price was w/o tax.
customer: they why'd you tell me it was 2.19?!
me: i'm sorry.

but what was REALLY frustrating was the fact that the lady i was closing with didn't explain jack crap to me! she's this short filipino lady who talks in a low voice and has an accent that i struggle with. anyways, she was in the back counting money while i was cleaning the front using my best judgement. it was tough. we have this hecka ghetto mop that always falls apart. we have a dustpan without the duster so i have to broom everything in. we have these really heavy trays that all need go in the refrigerator....dude, it's alotta trays. but after 45 struggling minutes, i got most of it done and got outta that place! ugh, i'm working saturday, 2-Close (9:30).

on the flipside, i had a great time after work. dykas got a chance to meet our beloved chang and we just hung out during the night. since chang needed some justice with his hunger, we went to the Korean restaurant on Fillmore like around 1:30 am. we came. we indulged. we praised God. on the way home, we started talking about culinary hedonism and looked at the subject in many different angles. we first started cursing the existence of the obsession, but started talking about our heroes in our lives. we talked about the "Allstar Team"-PJ for his tenacity with hot foods, Chang Mo for his speed, and Terrance for his quantity. lol. we talked about Brazilian BBQ, "domination," Tony Roma's, 5 bowls of rice, the Pho Challenge, Todai's, Terrance Kimm (lol), the "stair master," and finally Homer Simpson. man, we were cracking up so much in chang's car. i never knew talking about food could be so much fun. *sigh* it was great. three full men under the influence of pork. lol.
