Ever have a customer walk in (or call, for you call center folk) after you've just taken a big bite of food?

I was sitting here enjoying my paczki and had a customer walk in the door just after I stuffed about half of it in my mouth. Fortunately, it's a customer I've dealt with a few times already and she's a pretty cool person. She looked at me funny and I just held up the box and she laughed.

True enough. We *are* allowed hard candy like mints or M&M's or somesuch, but no chips, chocolate bars, salads, pizza, etc, or peanut products.

We're not 'allowed' but then our management walks around and gives us candies and cookies and stuff... I have a pack of oreos on my desk right now, just a little one.

When the new hires go to 3 day training.. the trainer recommends that you eat AT your station/desk so that you don't miss a sales opportunity... then our VP of Sales says that if he catches us eating at our desk we are in trouble... go figure.. 🙄

Nope. They actually pulled everything from the vending machines that had peanuts in it....some guy with a lethal allergy works here is my understanding.

Um...so he should know not to eat anything with peanuts in it. Since when is an allergy contagious?

certain people are so allergic to peanuts that coming in contact with anything that has come in contact with peanuts will cause a reaction.

There was a kid in my high school that was so highly allergic that if somebody had a reeces peanut butter cup in a room 2 hours before he came in the room it would likely kill him.

That would be a great way to eliminate a douchebag in your life... "What happened?"
"I don't know!! I was eating a peanut butter sandwich.. and the guy had a seizure!!!"

a paczki is basically a filled donut. It's incredibly sweet and stuffed full of a filling. They're typically 600-1000 calories each. It's a polish treat.

Kinda like that, but bigger and sweeter.

Depending on where you go, I've seen paczkis (again, pronounced poonch-key, in case you were wondering) as big as softballs

thats a WHOLE days worth of calories.. but I bet it kicks @$$

Oh it sure does. They're awesome. I'm a big time sweet eater but more than 2 is too much for even me.

I just heard them say the average paczki is between 600-1000 calories, approx 25 grams of sugar and I think about 30 grams of fat. That's just for one... but it's sooo worth it.

yeah, but they're soooooo good.

I'm fortunate enough to have a high metabolism. I don't work out and can pretty well eat like a pig and stay thin. Though it's starting to catch up with me. I'm slowly gaining weight little by little. I'll worry about it once I pass the 200 pound mark.

MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm carbs. Everyone on my moms side of the family has Sprue. It's where you're allergic to glutton (wheat, flour...) so they all decided to just go no carb all together... Except my immediate family... we live a few hours from the rest of them so at our family get together we have in April every year my sister and I kidnapped our youngest/quietest cousin (she was like 13) walked to the gas station across the parking lot (We stay at an AmericInn) bought all the junk food and Ice Cream we could carry back.

We didn't let her eat any of the chocolate cows in the ice cream... we figured that's were most of the carbs were. đŸ¤Ŗ

Sometimes if I have to go number 2 real bad (in my inline store) I just pull down the gates and lock them and go in the back (we have a bathroom. I don't go on the floor... unless I am really upset...). Once I didn't latch it all the way and a customer pulled up the gate and walked in, completely ignoring the "Be back in 5 minutes" sign and the fact that the gate was shut. They started walking around the store shouting "hello?!" and I was like that the... They just walked into the back and started knocking on the bathroom door. My first thought was "$hit! My cash drawer!" So I hurried up and scrambled out. They didn't mess with the cash drawer, or anything else, they just wanted a phone, but I was like WHAT THE HELL! Why would you just pull ...

Actually we have peopel that watch us, on occassion, and listen as well. I am soooo desperately tempted to one day take the headset they listen to into the bathroom and pretend to "flog the bishop" if you will..

The only question lingering in my mind is.. how do i convince them i was kidding afterwards 🤭 đŸ¤Ŗ
