**Bakery Bitterness**The Bakery.
Food there's great. But some of the people aren't. Ask around. Some will say the workers there are rude.
I experienced it first-hand today. Not a very nice encounter. What's worse is it was with the boss of the bakery.
You see, it doesn't matter what you use to put you food on -- plate or bowl. Or at least that's what I think. Anyway, this particular dish I wanted had yummy gravy (with potatoes and some other vegetarian stuff), so I used a bowl. Then while I was scooping the food into the bowl, the boss came over.
"Why do you use the bowl?" she demanded. Then picking a plate up, she continued, "There are plates here for you to use!"
At that instance, she dropped the plate back in its place like as if one was terribly annoyed.
Pissed and embarrased, I muttered (quite loudly) under my breath, "Up to me
lah!"
Not sure whether she heard it. But I think she saw me dumping the cover of the container (where the food was kept in) into the container.
Fortunately for me,
Joy was there. She placed the cover back in its right place as I stormed out of the bakery. And the cashier (Waleed, of course) had the nerve to jokingly keep my cafeteria card as he does with everyone else's. I, of course, was not in to mood, so I put my bowl down and forcefully snatched it out of his hand, his partner looking on.
I slammed the bowl on the table so hard that some gravy spilled out. Whoops. Wasted. But I was really pissed. I mean,
really really pissed.
And then when I left the cafeteria, two friends passed by me. I waved and said hi to them, but they were playfully being
sombong. Again, I was not in the mood, so then I
merajuk. I heard them laughing behind me as I walked away.
You want to play rough with me? I can play rough too. One friend of mine thinks I'm the least aggressive guy she's ever met. Can I prove her wrong?
Should I prove her wrong?
This is not my day. Or maybe it's me making it worse for myself.
It is safe to say that I am one of them who thinks the workers there are rude.
