Enter, Lady Creepy....

I get a lot of older people. Thats just the target market for my tourist area. So I have to deal with their lack of technical instinct alot. But thats ok, I deal well with it. Now if they cop a 'tude, I don't deal with that. That's just rude. (Steph Tanner)

Enter, Lady Creepy....


(quite possibly not Lady Creepy....)

So we sell internet service. $5 a half hour. Yikes some might say. Most don't. So I instructed this seemingly nice older lady on how to get started on our terminals. Then I went to cleaning my espresso machine. Then she turns her head in an odd way, with like a lean back, like she can't turn it all the way, and the following is the dialogue that ensues....

shes like "what drink are you making?"

july- "i'm cleaning"

"is that the steamed milk?" - odd lady

"I can steam milk..." - puzzled july

"do you got the tea?" - senile woman

"we have these teas only" - afraid july pointing to Tazo rack.

"oh so only the coffees" - freaky lady

"Yes." - disconcerted july

"do you print?" - glazed eyed woman

"yes we print." - mocking july

At this point her head turning antics and questionable vernacular were beginning to make me fearful.

and then... it happened.

She FREAKED me out.

I'm about to make a double batch of New York frappe mix on my Vitamix blender. It's loud, and I can't hear over it, and it will require my attention during the process. Just before I start, I notice Lady Creepy turning around like she needs something.

and she hands me another $5

"another half hour?" - cautious july

grinning conniving lady nods head

july graps the five

july pulls on five

lady hold on five and pulls back.

july pulls again becuase he doesnt initially think thats what it was.

'Sicky' pulls back on the dollar AGAIN.

july looks at lady, and she smiles.

july manages a glancing away grin, to release the five, and not puke in his mouth.

july precedes to run blender on full bore, and drown out his inner pains.

july readies his mace....

So now i'm blogging this, and telling everyone on msn the wierdness of the moment. I have never before had a customer do this. Not even a hot chick that liked me. Or didn't like me. Just this sicky old ewwwwwwwwwwwww.......
