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."

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?"

"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."

"Dude, I look like Dean most of the time," Alec said, amused. "You sure you want to ruin cookies like that though?"
