OMG WANT! <-my birthday is coming up soon-ish

So today was…  Interesting to say the least.  It was busy, for a brief period of time during lunch and I tell you some of the people we had today astounded me to no end!  This one woman who quite obviously liked to call attention to herself a great deal or is blind or damn near close to it was wearing the most outlandish outfit EVER!  Try and picture this:  A woman who appeared to be in her late 50’s with a gigantic bouffant of hair wearing an orange sorbet colored headband and a ton of exceptionally tacky jewelry.  Topped of with a matching orange sorbet colored blazer, which she had draped a rather obnoxious neon orange/pink/yellow shawl teamed up with wide leg leather pants and these HUGE white framed sunglasses that reminded me small plates.  I couldn’t help but laugh every time I walked by her, or seen her because she looked ridiculous!   I had my camera at work today and I was tempted to take a picture because if anything for the entertainment value!

Then this jackass got all pissy because we don’t serve clotted cream.  Which is illegal in Quebec (thank God because the thought alone makes me want to yarf something awful!) because its not pasteurized EWWWWWWWWWWWW!  Being a Chef there is few things I will turn my nose up at without trying it, this would be one of them.  Anyway back to this jackass…  He got all snotty because I told him while we have our own version of Devon cream, we only make that for special orders and for afternoon tea and we don’t currently have any on hand.  Generally scones get served with butter and our homemade jam which he didn’t want.  Fine, he asked for dessert instead.  Since he had 3 other people with him and I was working alone at that time I had my hands full trying to prepare this order and serve people.  He walks back to the table and proclaims quite loudly that “we’re useless because we don’t have cream.”  I’m seething, thinking you immigrant asshole it might be acceptable to treat woman like shit in YOUR country but this is Canada sweetheart and I ain’t going to tolerate that shit for a second!

Thankfully Donna came back upstairs and I let her deal with it because I was pissed off at this ignorant and rude comment and was fighting the urge to stab him in the face…  So Donna goes over with their order and offered them lemon cream which Krystal had just brought up from the dessert leftovers.  So he got all arrogant with her too!  Donna told him the same thing we usually only serve it for afternoon tea, to which he replied” well its the afternoon and I’m having tea. ”  Not the same thing!  So Donna (God bless her patience!) gave him the low down on what afternoon tea (dainty tea) was  and that it required a reservation and all that.  He’s like well we drove in from the west island blah blah blah, so?  We have people who come to the tea room from the US and Europe which is a whole lot further then the West Island jackass, next time ORDER AHEAD!  Oddly enough, when they went down to the bakery they were super nice to the boss lady.  OK yeah Donna and I don’t look as old as we actually are, especially Donna but that doesn’t give you the right to dis-respect us in the least!

I mean seriosuly…  Are you kidding me!

In other news:  I FINALLY got kitler’s litter of choice!  They only had 4 bags in stock so I bought 2.  She’ll be good for the next couple of months 🙂
