Gigglamesh

Today at lunch we had the most interesting experience:

Shan and I decide we'll hit up Artic Circle for lunch as we were both really wanting a cheeseburger and lime ricky. We were having a relatively stress free afternoon, we hit up best buy, looked at an office and had no complaints really.

The Artic Circle on 10600 S and Approximately 1400 W. apparently had some issues this afternoon. We walked in and there were about 5 guys in line all ordering shakes. Not too crazy. The girl taking orders had this remarkable blue eye shadow on which made me think she could have possibly applied it in the dark. She was sweet and really trying her best to excel at her job. While she was taking the shake orders a different girl walked in with her uniform and dropped it off at the office...was she quitting? Maybe; we'd later understand why.

Meanwhile; a girl in the office who was just ending her shift took it upon herself to call someone in tonight to cover a shift...clearly they were short staffed. I had taken my order by this point and was waiting for my card to come back to me. Suddenly, Shannon and I hear this yelling from an Asian woman saying, "We need the line!" "We need the line!" the blue eyeshadow girl was patient and said to the girl on the phone, "Uhm...get off the phone and waved my card in the air"...okay point taken.

She quickly gets off the phone. By this time the Asian Manager was running around barking orders at everyone including Shannon. Shannon had been waiting in line, while we waited a uptight Mormon couple were standing behind her practically breathing down her neck (that's annoying in itself) and giggles...which I'll explain was behind them. Shannon was starting to be stressed out by everything going on around us by the time she was ordering she was little flustered. The Asian Manager comes up and Shan starts to order..
"I'll have a Ranch Buge..."
"RANCH" "WHAT ELSE?"
"oh..uh an order of mini cor..."
"MINI CORN, WHAT ELSE?"
"a medium lime ricky"
"7.43, to STAY or GO"
"STAY OR GO!" (while tapping her card on the counter loudly)
"uhm..I don't know, Angie?! Stay or go?"
"Stay"
"to STAY!"

woah so we finish ordering and the Mormon's start to order....
Shannon and I are standing aside waiting for our drinks and order when it's now giggles turn to order.
Giggles is a completely normal looking guy in is 30s who is giggling loudly at things unknown to the rest of us. Giggles grabs the penny cup, you know, give a penny take a penny; he shakes it and looks at me and says, "There's actually pennies in there! That's hysterical!" I politely laugh and think....ok.....

We sit down and Shannon and I start to say how this lunch break is starting to really stress us out! Shannon might was well have given the mormon couple a piggy back ride to the counter they were so close to her and we now realize giggles has a giant scar across his head so clearly he'd been injured in the past...but giggles just kept on laughing.

We quickly ate and then we were getting up to leave and giggles was behind us...still giggling...and Shannon said,
"Dang it I spilled on myself"
Me-"You did?"
Shan-"Yep, Cuz I'm a pig"
-Giggles "(giggling) That's so funny what you just said that is why I'm giggling"


We politely laughed with him and left...

Woah..

As we got in the car we concluded, clearly Artic Circle needs to consider hiring more people and if we had a brain injury we would definitely want it to be similar to giggles because he was loving life! What a way to be; happy all of the time! You certainly can't complain about that, it could be alot worse. At least giggles helped us laugh off the awkward situation that Artic Circle and their staff put us through.
