BTS World Tour Hunger Games Ticket Purchasing

So...April 24, BTS was announced for their Billboard nomination. Their comeback is set for May 18...Billboards are set to air May 20 so ARMY all over the world were speculating that they will be performing and that would be their comeback stage! AND WE WERE RIGHT!  Then, they announced tickets would go on sale on May 5, 10 AM...well at least for the Fort Worth location. It just so happens that it will be on the weekend before my birthday. I'm so excited! Getting the tickets was crazy! My niece and I manhandled 3 laptops & 2 Iphones. We logged onto AXS at around 9:15 and waited. At 9:30AM the pages automatically refreshed... My game plan was to get 3 of the 5 devices in the waiting room and the other 2 devices we'd go in at the time tickets went on sale. At 10:00 AM my nieces computer went straight into the "Are you a human?" screen and she was able to get the 2 tickets...unfortunately, it made her sign in. She ended up with the error message like so many ot

The Flame's Daughter First Impression

Now, anyone who is anyone that follows along with Cdrama knows that Dilraba Dilmurat and Zhang Bin Bin has this unspeakable chemistry on screen.  Seeing them in  Pretty Li Hui Zhen  and then again in  The King's Woman  was so satisfying...until you realize what has been going on. It's no different in  The Flame's Daughter . Even though Zhang Bin Bin is not the starring male lead, The scenes he's in with Dilraba Dilmurat are so intense! The first kissing scene??! The scenery with the music and then the intensity of their chemistry?!?! HOLY CHEESE BALLS! I couldn't draw my eyes away from the tv screen! I'm currently on episode 12 and I am fighting to keep myself into it.  Something about the interactions between the Vic Chou and Dilraba Dilmurat...Don't get me wrong they are cute together and all but I wonder if it would be different if Zhang Bin Bin & Vic Chou had their roles reversed would it have been different. To be honest though, I started watchi

Tribes & Empires Chinese Drama

So I started watching Tribes & Empires a few months back...but it got a bit daunting so I stopped. Just recently decided to pick it back up again and I can't help but feel like it's got this Game of Thrones feel to it...only with prettier costumes and Shawn Dou...be still my beating heart! I fell in love with him when I watch Princess Agents... I couldn't find any recaps after Episode 18. Still trying to figure out the characters. DramaFever  has a great character guide. Im still trying to figure out who is who...hahahah Episode 19 of Tribes and Empires opens with Muyun De giving Prince He Ge a drawing of the seal that will allow him to get items from his pawn shop.  (De is a merchant).  The two continue to basically size each other up to see who is richer...or so it seams.  He Ge keeps walking around..walks up and grabs the sword from the back of the room...De admits he wants the position.  We find out that the Emperor is in bad health. De also admits he enjoys c

The Reason Why I Sound Like A Broken Record

If I've had the pleasure of taking your order at the shop, you would probably notice that I repeatedly repeat your order. I promise you, it's not because I didn't hear you. This is how a typical transaction would go when you come into the shop. Hello, just let me know when you're ready. You're ready? Okay, what can we get for you? Shrimp poboy. Okay, would you like the 7 in. or the 14 in.? 7 in. Okay, would you like it fried or grilled? Fried Lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo on it okay? Sure Fries and drink or by itself? Yea, that's fine. Okay, so I have a 7 in. fried shrimp poboy with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo with the combo fries and drink. Um, no tomatoes. Got it, so a 7 in. fried shrimp poboy, no tomatoes, with combo fries and drink. Yea For here or togo?

Customers Like to Think They are Slick

Today, was an interesting day. I got to work in the kitchen today. That was interesting. Calling out orders and getting to dress the poboys. YAY! It was pretty uneventful. Until the afternoon.  A customer came in and ordered a 5 piece fried chicken wings with shrimp fried rice plate. Derek took her order.  Martin and I worked in the back and Martin boxed the order and put the plate up.  Derek checked the order and handed it to the customer (we will just say that this occurred at 1:30pm) and he then went to the back (1:35pm)to check on something.  About 1:40pm, the customer approached the counter and spoke to Shera, our other cashier, and basically said that she only got 4 chicken wings, not 5.  When I came to the front to see what was going on she spoke loudly to her companion and said, "You ate a wing, I ate a wing, and I got 2 wings left on my plate. That's only 4 wings. I'm about to get what I paid for." I was not about to argue with this woman over a wing

$1. Is That Considered Stealing???

Today was actually OK! Except for one minor thing that happened.  Maybe it's major. Eh, you decide. A customer came through the drive thru and placed her order.  Not quite sure what happened, but she decided to park and come inside to complete the transaction. I was sitting and having a conversation with Joe and I noticed her walking in with an empty cup.  She put the cup on the table and when I went behind the counter to help her, she said that she had already placed the order at the drive thru. At that moment, Derek came up and said that he has her order pulled up. So I went back and continued my conversation with Joe.  Derek walked to the back. A few minutes passed, and a customer came in for a pick-up order.  I returned to my register and rung her up.  Derek came up to me and motioned to the customer from the drive thru and said, " Did you notice she got a drink?"  I looked at her...then at Derek, "I saw her bring the cup in, but you helped her so I figured sh

Since When Did a PoBoy Shop Start Serving Fried Dogs?!
