On men and free

Nakakapagod din magtrabaho kaya minsan bulagta ka na pagdating ng bahay. Pero sabi nga nila, kapag nage-enjoy ka sa trabaho minsan di mo alintana yung pagod.

Anyway…we had this guy customer with his friends. As always we have to take his order. When he asked for his name, he said “Free”. Uh oh, I know what this means. During our training, we we’re warned of this type of scenarios wherein customers will give names like “free”, “rent” “play” etc.

I don’t want to call out his drink because of the name he gave. But I got an idea; I’ll give him a taste of his own medicine. So, instead of saying “for free” I said “for MR. Free”. Guess what happened…the other customers looked at him while he go to the bar area to claim his drink. He is looking at the floor! He he he. So what’s the moral of the story? Never play a joke that will backfire. But good thing he didn’t say his name though to save him for further embarrassment.
