The Daily Teaser — 23-5-2015: Bonnie and Clyde

Gosh, that was a hideous evening … !

You’ve probably worked out I work in a local fast food restaurant, hadn’t you?

And usually … ?   Usually, it’s a fine place to work: with both customers and co-workers being very pleasant.

But, BOY … !   Did war get a ripe customer, last night!   One who extremely aggressive, on finding out he’d have a 20 minute wait for a Mega Box: it certainly one who left me mildly concerned about my safety.

All of this … ?   All of that over a Mega Box, for heaven sakes.
