Funny Customer Stories

So some of you know that I work at Fung Lum. Fung Lum is a chinese restaurant located in San Francisco International Airport (SFO) Ive been working there for a good 3 months and I love it. I love the pay =), my co workers, the work load is pretty light, and it isnt hard. Some things I dont like is paying BART to go to work, and some very weird customers. Here are just a few, Ill post a few more on a later entry.

So this post is to share some of the nice and the not so nice customers I had before, also the interesting ones as well.

*I love how AFTER I ring up their meal, and the customers see the price they get so shocked that its so expensive. Now I don't know if they forgot they are in the airport but EVERYWHERE is expensive. Hey if you have the money to travel, you can kick in the extra buck or two to eat. If not then bring your own food! (I do it all the time, just don't bring in bottle drinks.. I learned the hard way) But if you really don't like the prices, bring in your own food! Don't take it out on the employees, we don't set the prices!

*I love it when customers come back to me and tell me that they had a great dinner. Knowing the food isn't that good and that they are getting ripped off, they come back and compliment us. And I LOVE that.

*So at the place I work at, its similar to Panda Express. You get rice or noodles and 1 entree for $8.50 and $3.50 for any additional entree. Easy? WRONG! Everyday people ask "How does this work?" The menu is like right in front of you. I move it right in front of them and they still have questions. Its pretty self explanatory. Maybe its just the whole tourist thing. Some people see it right away and get it. Some people take a few minutes of explaining.

I used no names in this post. It just a lot of things I see. Its pretty funny though. Im not mad. Everyone who works in retail or food services has to deal with it. You get the really cool customers and your grumpy customers. But its all good!
