Dealing With Stupid People [Monday, 2nd period]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

"Today, you will deal with real people, so keep your eye rolling to a minimum, please," Josh said as the students assembled in the Danger Room Shop that he totally told them about, rly. "We will be working...retail!" he said, clapping his hands together.

The Danger Shop turned into a sandwich store of a chain that might be familiar to some of you, oh yes. "Half of you will be working behind the counter. The other half of you will be the incredibly irritating customers. Ask how long a foot-long sandwich is! Demand a sandwich with everything except most of the ingredients! Wonder why a sandwich shop doesn't serve Mexican!" Josh's grin turned positively evil. "And you customer service types--remember to smile. And, um, not to punch anyone."

"I sure," Isabel nodded. "That grey's a giveaway. But I'm still required to ask. You wouldn't want to get me in trouble would you?"

"As for the damage? I don't think you could afford it me."

"Grey? Ahh, maaan!" Johnny ran his hand back through his hair. "You wouldn't get in trouble if you snuck outta here with me," he waggled his brows, ever the charmer, yes.

"I can't afford it? Ahh, maaan! Well what do you serve here that I can afford?"

"Yeah but I have to come back to work tomorrow," she pointed out. "They'll just yell at me then. So I'm going to have to pass."

"How about a turkey sandwich, a nice cold coke, and a bag of chips?"

"You would never have to come back and work in this sleazy joint if you came with me," he offered, smirking.

Johnny shuddered. Not that he didn't like a good turkey sandwich, but he was trying to ruffle her feathers, right?

"I'll just have a chilidog. With cheese. Yeah. That sounds good. I want one of those rabbit foot key chains too. I could use me some good luck."

Isabel's gone with amusement over annoyance, because seriously, this was nothing compared to the stories Maria and Liz told about the conspiracy freaks that visited the Crashdown. That's why she smiled, her eyes wide. "Never have to come back? Is that a proposal? It's so unexpected!"

Johnny didn't miss a beat, "What would your parents say?" Not that he cared one bit but he was stalling. Stalling was good. Cause was she considering...really?

"They'd probably wonder how soon we could start on the grandkids," Isabel said with a perfectly straight face.

Re: Work the sub shop!

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"I want ten." He replied, straight faced as well.

"That's great," she agreed. "I loved it when my kids came to visit after prom. I'd love a dozen of them."

"If they don't look like me, I'll have to throw them away. How else will I know they're mine?"

Re: Work the sub shop!

Now that made her annoyed. "Are you implying I'd cheat on you?"

"Well how well do I know you? You're just a girl wearing a hairnet that works in a sleazy shop. You're hot though, so hey..." He gave her a double thumbs up.

And that was the point that Isabel picked up the bottle of mayonaise and squeezed it at him.

"Hey! Hey! Ahh, maaan! Come on!" Johnny, arms akimbo, stared down at the mayo - oh, wait, he's wearing his firesuit.

Smiling at Isabel, he yelled, "Flame on!" And lit himself up, doing away with all the icky mayo.

"Won't it be something to tell our kids? 'Hey look sweeties, daddy's on fire again! Get out the wieners!"

"I believe the term when pigs fly comes into play here," Isabel laughed.

Re: Work the sub shop!

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"...would that be about the weiners? Or the part where daddy's on fire?" Johnny extinguished himself and was standing there, grinning like a dork at her.

Re: Work the sub shop!

She shook her head. "I think it's the part where there's even the slightest possibility to that you might wind up being in a position to be my children's father."

"Ouch," he said, bringing a hand to cover his heart. "That's cold."

He glanced over the menu, at her, at the menu, "Just give me the spaghetti."

Re: Work the sub shop!

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I know. I'm just awful," Isabel agreed. "And sadly? There's no spaghetti. So let me explain this in words you can understand. Pick something off the menu!"

"Are you getting lipping serving girl? Cause it sounds like you're getting lippy."

Re: Work the sub shop!

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You want lippy? I'll give you lippy," she said firmly. "Yes, I am a food service worker. It is a respectable job that pays my bills while I'm putting myself through school. At some point in the not so distant future? I will graduate. And get a job that will not involve the food service industry. I will move on. Unlike yourself. Given you're inability to read a simple menu, I believe it's safe to assume you will always be an idiot."

"So there. Was that lippy enough for you?"

Re: Work the sub shop!

"Ohh, man, I think you might have just gotten fired. Where's the manager! I request to see the manager! She called me an idiot!"

Josh, wearing a t-shirt and jaunty hat over his suit (it was a look all right), wandered over. "You shrieked?" he said, raising an eyebrow.

Re: Work the sub shop!

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Ahh, maaan! Johnny didn't count on the professor playing in this scenerio.

"She called me an idiot." He replied, pointing at the serving girl. "Not very customer service-y like."

Josh shoved his hands into his pockets and popped the gum he was chewing.

"No, it isn't," he agreed, checking his watch. "I have a minute and a half before I go on break. Tell me what happened."

Josh might have been enjoying this role a little too much.
