Acid Tripping Barbie.

Customer just told a cashier/server at this cafe that “she looked like a Barbie Doll on acid”. She took it well.

She does have green dye stripes in her hair though… but she’s cute.

Gorgeous green eyes & finger nails painted to look like lady bugs.

Business in the bathroom.

There is a very loud Asian man doing his business in the Panera Bread bathroom. Literally. Sounds like he’s on a conference call.

Kelly Green Crume: Seriously, are the Panera Bread people following you on here yet? They should be. BTW, LOL on the status!

Nuria Roach-Casares: He probably is making a conference call..or should I say, outsourcing!!!

I wasn’t making this up. There was a man (with no volume control) in the bathroom stall very clearly talking to people at a company. :)

I wouldn't say that

In cafe. Cashier swipes my card. Then looks at it.

“Your real name is Zero?”
“Yes. It really is.”
“Your parents were creative.”
“Indeed.”

There is a sort of awkward silence and she registers what I’ve said.

And then she looks up, “And no one ever picked on you about your name?”

O_o

by Zero Dean @ ZeroTalking.com

Standing in the self-serve coffee section in Panera Bread.

A server walks up, “Whatchoo drinkin’ on?”

“Hazelnut”

“Lemme gitchoo a freshun”

“Ok!”.

He walks off and comes back a few moments later, “Canna fit much innis cup!” he says, pointing at my cup, “You wanna bigguh cup?”

“Naw, I’m good, but thank you!”

Super friendly guy. And sincere. That was pretty cool. I’m not making fun of his speech. It’s just his speech WAS FUN. Happy dude. :)

From the comments:

Ashley Renee Burke: One of the many reasons to love the south

Zero: Yeah… and we weren’t at a register. He was just refilling coffee when I was there. He went in back and got me fresh Hazelnut… and then offered to swap my cup for a larger one. People like that brighten my day…I just want to hang out with them. ;)
