...at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now:
1) There's a gigantic reservation for a student-faculty sustainability group.
"Green energy?", I'm like, "How about green beer!", as I tell some of the first students to arrive, that they should pregame on university dime.
2) I tell several sets of customers that we should have had a special of like a dollar off green curry, and then I say that maybe we even should have had like a green curry with potato and cabbage and corned beef -- "I'd try it," says one customer, which surprises me, since it sounds nasty -- and then I also say that we could do cabbage satay or maybe a potato satay, and people in general think that potato satay maybe could be good.
At some point, too, I also say that we should dye the sake green.
3) I tell my (Thai) coworkers that we should have planned ahead, and our one (older) (Thai) coworker who's a whiz at the phones should have dressed up like a leprechaun with a big fake red beard and a big green sparkly hat.
4) My (Guatemalan) coworkers have never heard of St. Patrick's Day, even when I Google how to say his name in (Spanish) -- San Patricio -- and my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker is just confused about the holiday and she keeps asking what it's about, and when I tell her nothing, it's just a holiday associated with the (Irish) that's an excuse to drink, she's just confused, and she keeps saying it must be about something.
"No," I'm like, "It's like my mother says, it's just an excuse to drink."
