This summer a nice lady came in to enjoy some of our food. She ordered a few different items from the menu. She enjoyed the Chicken Adobo and the Spicy Coconut Chicken. Her friend chowed down on some Pancit and lumpia. What caught me off guard was this same lady ordered 2 orders of Crab Rangoons. When she ordered the Crab Rangoons, she asked "Do you have Crab Rangoons?"
I stated I had to make the Crab Rangoons by hand. She said again repeating the name. "I would love to try your Crab Rangoons." I told her I would start her orders now.
Once she ate one, she tore through the rest to finish her meal off. She seemed like she had not eaten for a while even though I just saw her eat an entire full meal. i was glad she was enjoying them.
The twist to the story that seemed more like an advertisement than a recap of sentiment happened once she left. I believe it was 15 seconds after she left and I was cleaning the spot she chose to sit (since we don't kick people out if they eat their takeout inside). She rushes back to the door and opens it blurting out, "I am allergic to shell fish. Do those crab rangoons have crab in them?" Sadly she was not joking. I told her yes, hence the name, crab rangoon. She turned around and left without saying a word. I am not sure whether Darwin was looking over my shoulder giving her the stink eye, but the rules of natural selection were in play that evening.
