Customer quotes

So I've started working at a new place.
I'm still waiting tables and breaking my legs standing for 10 hours per shift but I still have my sight extended out for further opportunities. In the mean time I have decided that money is money no matter what the job is and this will more than suffice in providing a roof over my head and providing a piggy bank to future travel plans.

And as usual, I love observing people:

 "Daddy, alcohol is bad for you."
Little kid to her dad while ordering drinks.
Reminds me of my niece telling my brother off for smoking!

"So many people that come here, these people, they're crazy. All their food, they want no salad in burger, no lettuce, no vegetables, they're so unhealthy! Next time they order  that I will tell them, 
'You are going to die when you're 50.'"
-Colleague ranting to me in her expressive Polish accent while taking cutlery from the back room.-

"Sorry, I keep looking at you because you remind me of my son's Japanese girlfriend, Miko. It's not so much the nationality, it's just that your mannerism is so very similar, there's just that air about you. I mean that as a compliment. Sadly, they're not together anymore, I wish they were and I do hope they get back together again. I keep telling my son you've made a bad decision there, brother." 
said the customer to me while I was taking her card payment. I did get the feeling she was constantly peering at me but I thought I had something stuck to my face like a bit of serviette or a piece of lettuce that I didn't know about. phew.

"...Diarrhoea makes you lose water doesn't it..."
two girls' dinner topic while devouring their burgers.

"Hi.. are you (the restaurant) child friendly?"

"What did you study? Oh, architecture!! Did you get a degree in that? 2:2, Oh that's wonderful, well done.
 Don't worry, it will all be worthwhile in the end. 
 Look at me, I turned out just fine!"
-An elderly man and his wife visiting from Bristol.-
