I was starving the other day at work when I convinced my friend Noura to go for lunch @ Applebee's.I was craving for it ever since and had some dreams about it the night before as well lol. We went there and like always, were greeted and welcomed by their Philipino staff.
We were the only guests there so we were extremely happy that we will be free to do whatever we wanted to do.
We are none smokers but we prefer to sit in the smokers area. It's cozier and more comfortable I guess.
It started with Noura and I being surrpunded by 3 Philipinos. We were discussing what to order when they started to interfere.
The 1st guy: "Madam, is it your 1st time here."?
Me: "Yeah, but I am a regular customer at the one in Khobar that they even sing for me whenever I ask them to whether it's my b.day or not."
The 1st guy: "Oh, niiice, you live there?"
Me: "Umm yeah and No, I was wondering till when is he gonna ask so I started asking if they have an ATM machine or not"
The 2nd guy: "No, madam, that's a problem all customers complain from"
The 3rd guy approached with cupons "Madam, fill it if you want, the withdraw will be in Feb"
Me: "Oh, I am never lucky but I will do it anyways and if I won that Jeeb, you will all have lunch on my expenses".
Noura is on the phone and I am suffering a lone if you're wondering where is she.
I filled in the cupons, Noura's too and handled them to the 1st guy.
The 1st guy: "Your name is Sosun "with his Philipino accent", what does it mean"?!
Me: "It's a rare flower"
The 2nd guy : "It's Orchid I know"
Me: "No, it's Iris"
The 2nd guy : "Naura, what does it mean"?
Me: "Cracking out because she hates it when people pronounce her name this way.
Noura: "It means a wild white flower".
We were talking about an important thing and they were like body guard surrounding us. I didn't know what to do so I asked one to bring me Coke, the other to check on our food, and the 3rd to turn off the TV. I asked him to put some music on so he was like "Mattawa *religious men* came and banned putting music madam"
The 2nd guy: "Madam, have yo been to U.A.E"?
Noura: "Yeah, a few times"
The 2nd guy: "The women there drive and they don't cover",
The 2nd guy: "Are you single"?
Me: "Yeah"
The 2nd guy looking at Noura : "Madam, why don't you uncover to show your beauty"? "Look at how beautiful Sosun is"?!!
I was like @-@!! I wasn't even wearning make up for God's sake!! Did he even see how red my nose is?!
Noura murmuring : "So, it's like what Christians do to Muslims heheh"
The 3rd guy interrupts with our food.
Me: "Noura, that's not what I ordered"!!
Noura: "Then call him and ask him to replace it"
Me calling him :"Excuse me, that's not my order, I wanted this dish at the beginning but then replaced it with Angus Burger,"
The 3rd guy: "Oh, I thought you said both"
Me: "How can I eat both"?!
The 3rd guy: "O.K. Madam, I will bring yours in minutes"
The 2nd guy comes in two minutes with my meal "Madam, your meal"
Me: "@-@, where is my french fries? I can't eat without it"?!
The 2nd guy : "Oh, I guess the waiter got perplexed because he said you asked for mash potatoe to replace the french fries"?!
Me: "That's not what I said, I said mash potatoe as a side dish"!
The 2nd guy : "O.K. Madam, anything else"
Me: "Yes, sauces please, mustard with honey and ranch sauce"
We started eating when the 2nd guy came and stood looking at us. Noura looked up saying : "YEAH"!!
The 2nd guy :"Are you enjoying your meals"?!
Noura in an angry face "YES, thanks, deep inside she was saying not in your presnse ass hole"!!
He stood there for a while observing and smiling. I got fed up!! How can I eat a burger and dip my french fries when a guy is standing on my head. I got furious and so asked him to refill my Coke. He was delighted to serve me, you know I am his beloved lol . He asked if I would like to have cherries and I said "Why not"?!
Noura started cracking saying it will be champange like but i didn't give a damn. To be honest, it was very yummy!! He said he will make me one whenever I visit him, I stop by.
My driver came and we were heading out surrounded by 4 Philipinos wishing us a safe ride and telling us how much they enjoyed our visit lol
I hopped into my seat when the 2nd Philipino guy who fell in love with me came and kocked at the window. I really thought he was giving my his number lol and I freaked out. He said "Madam, you forgot your wallet"!
