This was kind of funny, but maybe you have to hear it out loud or have been there for it to be funny
Yesterday we ate lunch at the Seal Beach Pickup Stix. They have great fast food Chinese but the service at this location leaves something to be desired. The cooking crew although they are surrounded by a weeping wall of water don’t do the quickest job but I can live with that. What troubles me the most is the cashier lady who I swear is cracked out on something. She puts tons of pressure on you to order fast and confuses the heck out of you by talking a lot and to others while you’re ordering.
Paul ordered a lunch special which gives you a few options to choose from. It’s not super clear on the menu or the photo in front of the register what the options are to choose from but he asked what he could get. The answer was look at this photo in front of the register. He proceeded to order as she suggested the house chicken next she answered next question for him about type of rice. You see she has this amazing ability to answer questions you’ll ask two or three questions down the line, it’s part of her super crack abilities.
Finally it came down to the choice of Eggroll, Dumpling, or WonTon. Paul naturally asked, which one has the meat in it. Her reply?
“Pork” then a 4 second pause (which must’ve felt like 10 minutes in her sped up reality) and then she said WonTon. By this point I’m both scared and laughing inside so hard.
My ordering was much easier since I knew the questions and answers for her, still she manages to mangle up something. After about 5 or 6 minutes and Richard now eating his cardboard Z Pizza she comes out with our tray of food but stops at the table next to us and talks to the guy for about 2 minutes holding our food. Finally she delivers our food and we begin to eat.
During our meal she runs the trash to the trash bin and on her way back, stops next to us and undoes her hair like she’s in a shampoo commercial it was like she was performing for us in slow motion.
So if you’re in Seal Beach and you like Chinese fast food for the love of god stop at this Pickup Stix and let Cracky-mc-crazy take your order and answer your questions that may be 2 or 3 questions in the future…
