It never fails...
Jul. 22nd, 2006 03:03 amNo customers for an hour. About the mid-point of my shift (one of the two third-shifts I work by myself). Time to eat.
I barely get one bite of food before the first customer wanders in. Go to help them. They realize they don't have the paper they want to print on with them. They leave, promising to be back tonight.
Go back to eating. Another customer comes in. Help him. He leaves.
Go back to eating, knowing that I won't finish before something else comes up.
Update: The first customers came back in, I got them settled, and they left. They were followed shortly thereafter by another customer who, possibly, will not need to bother me while I'm eating. I can only hope.
