I CAN'T SAY SWEETIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AT MY NEW RESTAURANT JOB, ONE OF THE RULES IN THE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK IS THIS: YOU CAN NOT CALL THE CUSTOMERS THE FOLLOWING
1) SWEETIE
2) HUN
3) HONEY
4) DARLIN
5) GUYS
GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM IN SOUTHERN KENTUCKY FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bouncing_off_wall: WE CAN'T SAY "HEY" EITHER.
I KNOW I AM FROM ALABAMA AND THAT IS PART OF MY **********LANGUAGE********************* FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. BUT ONE WOULD THINK THAT SOUTHERN KENTUCKY WOULD BE THE SAME WAY. I QUESTIONED THAT IMMEDIATELY** AND THE ANSWER WAS, WE ARE A TOURIST TOWN, AND GET ALL KINDS OF YANKS WHO ARE OFFENDED BY THIS."
I SAID, WUT IAM I SUPPOSED TO SAY, " HOW ARE YOUS PEOPLE DOING TONIGHT? LOL. THE "CORRECT" ANSWER IS THIS. " HELLO SIR AND MAM. HOW ARE YOU THIS EVENING?". PALEASE. THAT SOUNDS SO PHONY COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH AND I DON'T BELIEVE I CAN DO IT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE. OH, BTW, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE "SINCERE" TOO. LOL
ANYWAY, ONE OF THE "OLD TIMERS" PULLED ME ASIDE AND SAID...." HUN, IT'S ALL BS. THE YANKS LOVE US TO BE OURSELVES, YOU TALK HOW YOU WANT"... LOL SO , I GUESS I NOW HAVE "PERMISSION". WHAT A STRANGE RULE I THINK. IF I ATE OUT UP NORTH, WHICH I DID ONCE, I LOVED THEIR SPECIAL WAY OF TALKING AND WASN'T THE LEAST BIT OFFENDED. YOU EXPECT "ROME", WHEN YOU ARE IN IT. LOL LOL
THANK'S ALL YOU SWEETIES WHO UNDERSTAND
KIM
THAT'S "MISS KIM" TO ALL YA'LL ( WE CAN'T SAY THAT EITHER) LOL, WHO DON'T KNOW ME.
