HOrrifyingLY SHortened ITems
(My very first job is as a fountain girl at a popular restaurant/ice cream place. Since I work the late shift, I haven’t been trained on proper restaurant abbreviations. The Head Waitress, upon reviewing the night’s orders, comes flying over to me holding one of my orders.)
Head Waitress: “Holy HECK, [my name], what did you give this customer?!”
Me: *sheepishly* “Um…well, I used ‘FU’ for ‘fudge’ and ‘CK’ for ‘cake’.”
Head Waitress: “Let’s go over abbreviations, shall we?”
