Dealing With Stupid People [Tuesday, July 31, 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 Shop. "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."

Work at the sub shop!

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Cheery sub shop workers are: Alec, Faile, Mel, Qui-Gon, Eve, Savannah, Charlie and Rodney. Hairnets and obnoxious aprons are required.

Even cheerier patrons are: AJ, Andros, Door, Lana, Gavin, Peter, John & Sokka.

Mwhahaha.

Mel stood at the counter and glared at anyone who came close to her.

"Hi!" With a glare like that, A.J. just knew Mel would appreciate the bright, chipper, bushy-tailed greeting.

Mel gave AJ a look and then grunted.

Which is probably her way of saying "What do you want? And make it quick and easy or I'll kill you."

A.J.'s head tilted. "Can you do that? Kill a customer? Does your manager know about this sales strategy?"

Door bounces up, running through a list of options in her head, and thinking that John Crichton's class might be the best preparation for this one ever.

"I'd like a footlong hero with monetary cheddar!" she chirps.

Re: Work at the sub shop!

Mel sighed. "There's no such thing as monetary cheddar."

Door points to the menu and shakes her head. "It says so right there!"

It says Monterey.

Qui-Gon looked at the hairnet a moment before putting it on with a shrug. It seemed rather unnecessary, but perhaps it was all part of the stupidity they were supposed to be dealing with.

He moved to stand at the counter and wait for a customer.

"Is the bread fresh?" Peter asked. Hey, if he was supposed to be an annoying customer, he might as well get into it.

Re: Work at the sub shop!

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

"It is," Qui-Gon said, assuming it would be.

"Are the folks here union?" Peter asked.

Faile "lost" her hairnet, but put on the apron. At least there were no weird machines to deal with.

Poor Faile. No one told her about the registers.

John was not in a good mood.

"Hey, Faile. Is this," he pointed to his hair, "a side effect of eating your pie?"

Re: Work at the sub shop!

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

Faile did not laugh. "It couldn't have been the pie," she said in apparent shock at the suggestion. "My hair is not pink. Other people in the common room ate some. The only other person I know with pink hair is my roommate and hers isn't glittery." She examined his hair with a slight tilt of her head. "It is very sparkly, isn't it? It looks nice." She grinned at John.

She seemed too calm. "You know who did this, don't you?" John wondered what he had possibly done to call for a prank this...visible.

Charlie worked her hair into the net, put on the apron, and tried to look perky. And helpful. And willing to make a sub.

Alec actually did look cheery. Of course, according to him, he was totally working the apron.

Sokka walked up to the counter with a bright and cheery grin.

When he ordered, he spoke in a soft, muffled voice as quickly as he could.

"I'd like two meatball subs, one 6-inch on whole wheat, one foot-long on the asiago whatever, the first one with lettuce, tomato, ... no, wait. Make them both foot-longs. And go light on the sauce. Um. And provolone and those pepper things on the second one, but no cheese on the first. And nothing else on the second. Except some pepper. And also a grilled chicken with mayonnaise, lettuce, onions, NO tomato, and American cheese. Light mayo. Put some mayonnaise on the meatball, too. The one with the tomato." He blinked up at Alec expectantly. "...Huh. You're not Dean."

"So that's one footlong meatball on whole wheat with lettuce, tomato, light sauce, mayonnaise and no cheese, a footlong meatball on asiago with light sauce, provolone, pepperoncini, and some pepper, and then a grilled chicken with light mayo, lettuce, onions, American cheese and no tomato," Alec rattled off. "Did you want a six inch for the chicken or a footlong? And no, I'm Alec - remember the penguins?"

Re: Work at the sub shop!

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I know who you are," Sokka said with a smile. "You just looked like Dean for a minute."

And after that, he was kind of at a loss. "Uh..." His strategy had failed! Alec was too smart! Time for a new strategy.

"You know what? Scrap all that. Just give me onions, peppers, and mayonnaise between two chocolate chip cookies. With a side of meatball sauce."

Rodney was less concerned with the apron and hairnet thing than he was with the fact that he was most likely going to fail this assignment. He'd never actually tried to stop rolling his eyes before. He only pouted a little as he waited for someone to approach him.

Lana walked up cheerfully. "Hi. I'd like a Big Mac, please."

Re: Work at the sub shop!

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

Rodney just managed not rolling his eyes. "I think you might be confused," he pointed out. "This isn't McDonald's. Would you like a sandwich instead?" So far, so good.

Eve stood at the counter, in her hairnet and obnoxious apron, and wondered just how much trouble she'd get in for setting Professor Lyman on fire.
