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? Togo Got it, so I have a 7 in. fried shrimp poboy, no tomatoes, combo fries and drink for togo.  Could I get your name please? John Smith Now, 99.9% of the time we are both on the same

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

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

An interesting thing happened at work yesterday.  The lunch rush had just finished and a call comes through on the line. Riiiinnnnggg!!! Riiiiinnnnggg!!! PoBoy USA, how can I help you? Yes, I was calling to find out what do you have on your menu? Is there anything specific you are inquiring about?  We offer different selections from seafood to chicken wing plates... Do you serve fried dogs? I'm sorry, what was that? Is this the place across from *garbled noise* Again, I'm sorry, what was that?  This is PoBoy USA. Are you across from the bank and the business center? Yes, that's us.  Is there something I can help you with? Do you serve fried dogs?

Hello 😃 Let's see...I guess introduction would be a good way to start off a blog right? Okay, intro. I can do this... My name is Khe.  Wanna take a gander at how it's pronounced?!?! 50/50 shot that you probably want to call me "Key." Go ahead.  Just say it.  You know you want to! You said Key, didn't you??? I knew it! That's not how it's pronounced, but congratulations! You tried! And like they say, if at first you don't succeed...try and try again. Wait...that was the first time you said my name...oh. You get what I'm saying.  On with the introduction! So, as I was saying, my name is Khe. It's pronounced just like the letter, K.  Even to this day I find it amusing when people ask me for my name and then they ask me "K-a-y"? I just say yes. Makes both our lives much easier for that one split second... I'm 32, Virgo, happily in love, and 2 children. I love long walks on the beach and gazing into the moonlight. You'd th
