Okay so this Asian woman comes into my work the other day... this is not the start of a poorly-constructed racist joke. So she comes in an asks me for my help:
Woman: "Ca yu help meh?"
Me: "Of course."
Woman: "Oh tan yu. Yu soah kind."
Literally. This lady reeked Asian. Stereotypical mirror image of one. I almost thought she'd have fortune cookies in her purse or something. She did have one of those little change purses though. In which she had over $500.00 cash. She paid me in all pennies. Yes I'm exaggerating. But she did drop a penny under some of the racks and had me go get it for her.
Woman: "Eh wa a beeeg one! I sure! I sure!"
Me: "Oh it was just a penny."
Woman: "Oh, bu i's so shaaanny!"
This was our actual conversation.
As I was ringing her up, she looked at me and said:
Woman: "Yu so yung. Yu do greeea tings. Greaaaa tings! Yu so yung. So yung."
Me: Oh, thanks. I hope so.
Woman: "Yu go tu school?"
Me: "Yeah, I'm a freshman at Villa Julie."
Woman: "OH! GREAAA TINGS!!!"
Me: "We'll see."
Woman: "Wa chu doin hea? You beta dan dis."
Me: "Well, this was my first job...so I'm just seeing where it takes me."
Woman: "Greaaa tings!"
Me: "Hope so. Have a nice day."
I swear. This woman was sooo Asian. lol I'm not racist. I just found it pretty funny. She was like a fortune teller or something. lol I thought she was gonna teach me some ancient secret before she left. Who knows...maybe she did.
