This elderly lady walked into work today.
She had dark curly hair and was sporting a very bright purple hat.
I found it odd that she was wearing a dress on such a cold day but that really had nothing to do with what happened.
She walked up to the counter and was very friendly towards all of us.
She kept asking me questions, like my age, what school I went to, if I had a boyfriend.
Then she went on to tell me that she had a grandson my age who she wanted me to meet.
She was really sweet compared to some of the other customers we get.
She ordered an Irish Coffee but had to wait for Toby to get another bottle of Whiskey from the back.
While she waited for her coffee she asked me to get her a the last sandwich on the shelf.
I handed her the coffee and sandwich and rung up her total. 8. 57
I should have thought something was off when she asked to sit down for a minute because she was tired of standing, it didn't take more than 3 minutes to get her things.
Next thing I knew she grabs her things and tries to dark for the door but instead ends up running right into Toby.
The little old thing throws her coffee right at me, and let me tell you she sure had good aim.
It was like she's walked off the set of A League of Their Own, she starts shouting all sorts of things while she hits Toby with her over sized purse.
I didn't really know how to react to this, but then again I just almost gotten my face melted off so I wasn't exactly feeling sorry for her.
Our manager ended up letting her leave without making a big deal about it.
Turns out she tried that last week when Amber was working and she's also preformed several times during Open Mic Night
It sort of makes me wonder what goes on through the mind of the elderly.
I was thinking about quitting Gypsy's but after this I think I want to stick around to see what other shenanigans happen.
Maybe I should ask for more hours.
Either way we should stop serving Irish Coffees they make people crazy.
