"Do any hot girls come in here?"
This is what I heard about 20 minutes into my shift tonight. (I work at a gym) This knucklehead comes up to me, carrying his gallon of water, wearing his hat backwards, with a skin tone that would make an oompa loompa jealous and says "Do any hot girls come in here?" After trying to figure out if he was being serious or…
