Went to one of my local Mexican spots to grab a meal to-go. As soon as I walk in the Mexican chick at the counter is smiling at me.
I took a Spanish class as an elective last semester, so I decide to try something different.
I dead *** ordered my meal in Spanish. I knew enough Spanish (or at least I thought I did) to tell her what I wanted off the menu.
She starts laughing uncontrollably at how bad I butchered it. Everyone in the place turns around. I whisper to her "chill, you're embarrassing us ha."
She puts my order in and I get a drink and sit down while I wait. We're making eye contact the whole time. As my food comes out I come to the counter and say
ME: "Thank you, what's your name?"
HER: "Brenda"
ME: "Ok then Brenda, can I get a refill?"
HER: "It's a dollar."
ME: "That's fine, I know you got me."
HER: (laughs) I would but I'd come up short."
ME: "It's cool. Thank you tho, I'll see you next time."
When I get home and pull my food out the bag a number was written on top of the styrofoam box. I text her and say, "I see you don't play games, giving your # out before you know my name."
She responds with "You're slooow, your name was on your credit card."
My point of this post is that I took a witty approach w/o the intent of bagging, and she responded with something clever herself. Had I not attempted to order my meal in Spanish it would have turned out different.
