"YOU WILL ADORE ME!" - EARLY ACCESS!

My name is Carl and I am gonna tell you the most embarrassing thing that happened to me during my teenage years. You know… like every single teenager I needed money so I got a part-time job as a waiter and it was a really good part-time job. The restaurant wasn´t just a restaurant and there was a club on the lower level. During the day I was working as a waiter in the restaurant and in night I was working in the club and it was quite a good income of money. But one day… I screwed up everything because… I was just a silly boy and I probably deserved this lesson.

That day, I came to work really tired because the night before I was working again in the club and I came home at 4. a.m. and at 9. a.m I had to be working again in the restaurant. It was quite difficult for me and I didn´t feel okay at all because you know… I had some drinks yesterday and I had a massive headache. But I just had to go to work because it was my only income. I definitely wasn´t an enjoyable waiter that day but I was trying to do my best. But then… an old woman came to the restaurant and she sat at the table which was for 4 people. Of course, we had there tables with only two or even one chairs and the old lady has to sit at a table for 4. I don´t know why, but I got angry immediately. I ran to the old lady which has just sat down and told her:

“Hey… can´t you see that we have tables for one or two persons?”

“Oh… good afternoon, young man. I beg your pardon. I didn´t understand you. You have you been saying?” she asked me. It looked like she has really bad ears. But I didn´t care because I was sleepy and angry. And at that moment, I didn´t know what empathy was.

“I told you to get out of this table and sit at one chaired table!” I almost yelled at her. This time she understood and she understood really clearly. She looked at me and I could see fear and dismay in her eyes.

“But… you sir… what have I done wrong? Please, don´t yell at me. I am scared…. I just wanted to get my food because I am hungry!” she told me.

“Yeah… you can get your food and eat but not at this table, do you understand? Get yourself a one chaired table or get out of our restaurant!” I yelled again because I was in no mood for arguing with such an old lady.

“But sir… I am old and I am so happy that I am sitting. You know… getting up again on my legs at my age… it takes energy. Please… let me sit here and… I will give you a solid tip… what do you think?” she answered and she smiled at me. At first, I didn´t understand that she was even smiling at me. I was yelling at her and she was smiling at me? She must be crazy… I just wanted her to leave because I didn´t like her.

“I don´t care about your tip! Do you think I don´t have enough money? I don´t give a shit about your tip! And now, sit down at another table or get out! I mean it!” I yelled at her again and I really hoped that she would leave. But the old just sighed and she got up.

“Young man… you let me down… you let me down!” the old lady told me and she really sat down at another table. I couldn´t believe that she didn´t leave… She just has to leave after what I told her. Everybody would leave after this… but this old woman was apparently too hungry. I brought her the menu and she ordered the food.

“Don´t expect the food in 20 mins… the kitchen is just getting started!” I just mumbled when she ordered.

“Oh… it´s okay. I have plenty of time…  and young sir… would you show me the resting room?” she asked me. She just couldn´t choose a worse moment to ask me a question.

“Just go find it yourself… I don´t have time for such stupid things!” I said and went away. She didn´t say a single word and somehow… she went right to the resting room without knowing that it was right there. That was a bit suspicious but I didn´t care. My head was just in such pain and I just didn´t want to babysit such an old woman. She should have brought somebody adult to take care of her. It is not my job to take care of old ladies. In the meantime, I was watching some TikTok in order to kill the time. The old lady was in the restroom for quite a long time but I didn´t care. Then… I heard the steps coming right from the restroom and I looked up there… but I just couldn´t believe who I saw there. There was no old lady but I saw there the manager of our restaurant… Laura… she was a very beautiful woman and I have to say that she was very strict… but… how did she appear here. I didn´t understand at all.

“Oh… good morning, miss Laura… I didn´t expect you in here!” I greeted her when she came right to me. But I could see in her eyes that she was angry. Her eyes were flaming and I was the scared one right now.

“I could see that you didn´t expect me in here! Because your behaviour was so much out of line and I couldn´t imagine a worse waiter!” she told me.

“Ehm… what are you talking about?” I asked her. Could she hear me argue with that old lady?

“The old lady… it was me in disguise because I wanted to see your work attitude when I am not in here! And I have to say that you were terrible and so much out of line!” Laura yelled at me and she told me: “Now… young little boy, you have two options! We can go right to HR and I will make sure that you won´t get any job in your entire life and you will end up begging on the street! Or… come with me right now and you will do everything I tell you!”

“Okay… okay… I will do whatever you tell me!” begged because I got really scared. Laura giggled and told me:

“Good, my little boy… you didn´t appreciate old lady as you should have and maybe… this will help you to appreciate old people more!” Laura said and she led me to the manager´s office. I could see there the dress she was wearing “In the end… you will ADORE me!” she added and then… she took the dress and handed me it. “Put it on… I will transform YOU into an old lady and you will go shopping with me dressed like this. But don´t worry… I won´t give you any makeup so everybody will see that you are a boy wearing old-style feminine clothes and everybody will laugh at you!

“Please… don´t do this… pleaseee!” I cried because I was just too embarrassed.

“Well… so you want to end up on street, right?” she told me. Of course, I didn´t… I took the dress and I had to put it on just in front of her. It was so embarrassing. Laura giggled and told me that I look really ridiculous.

“Pleaseeee… could you at least do my makeup? Like this… everybody could see that I am a boy!” I begged Laura.

“Exactly… this is your punishment for being such a bad boy!” Laura said and she really did what she told me. I had to go shopping with her dressed like this. You can only imagine how people were looking at me… But I learnt a lot that day… I learnt that old people aren´t inferior… on the contrary… we have to take care of them because they are the pearl of our lives… So… do not ever act like me… I was a fool and I was punished for my bad behaviour…
