    I once went to work at a pizza place. I was the prep/opener and would be there in the morning for 2 - 3 hours before anyone else came in or their were customers. I was sick but didn’t realize it–I had been working for hours but had not yet spoken once that day. I finally opened up and tried to greet the first customer, and basically something sounding like a stepped on frog came out. This lady goes “OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO KEEP COMING BACK HERE JUST BECAUSE OF YOU!” and I’m thinking to myself that I couldn’t understand why you would want food from a sick person.
