I've been set up!

Today's shift was noon to 9PM, decided to have dinner before I headed home. Did I tell you my parents are currently in Japan? Yup, my travelling parents. I should be a child of gypsies lol.

Craved unagi, so off to the nearby Sakae Sushi outlet across the road.

Which was a big mistake, because the girl - whose tag included the words Night Supervisor - happily took down my order of an unagi bento set and then forgot to inform the kitchen.

So at 9.30 the manager comes around and I tell her, no, no last order for me, thank you. And then at 9.35, I ask about my bento set and she has the gall to tell me, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell the kitchen. But it's closed now. No alternatives, some inane suggestions, and nothing cuts it.

After some fuss, because I am hungry and every other place is closing and I am getting progressively grouchier, the manager says OK, we tell the kitchen to reopen, can you wait?

Ha. Wait. Yes. I should have said no. They ordered the food, I gulped it down because they closed at 10, and then 20 minutes later, my tummy rumbled. Yup, they had added Special Ingredients to my food, the kind you see in programmes entitled "When Chefs Take Revenge". I KNOW this because if the food's not right, my tummy will rumble in 30 minutes flat. You can time me.

And so.... lesson learned.... I might get my way as the customer, but was it worth an unpleasant 10 minutes in the bathroom? HHhhmmmmm. To the one who laced my food., all I can say is this :


May your genitals become gangrenous and squirt pus up your damned ass.
