Work Text:
When Ohio hear the sound of doorbells, he took the chance to look up from his side work to see who the customers are, only to frown when remembered the two assholes who comes in and complains about their service.
But luckily, Minnesota didn't seat them at his table, but at Indiana. He sigh softly, glancing over at his friend. "Watch out Indy, you got the Millers." He grumble. Indy look up, eyes round. "Noooooooooooooooooo."
Michigan, who was beside him, let out a puff. "Should've use that time to order their drinks."
"And those extra cocktail onions that bitch never eats." Missouri grumble.
"Wait, the MILLERS!?" South Dakota ask, glancing up from his phone. "Oh shit, don't let them see us!" North Dakota quickly ran to the back, his brother quick to follow behind him.
"Ope, those poor twins." Sigh Iowa. "They never got over it." Sigh Illinois. "What happen?" Indiana ask. "They forgot the extra blue cheese on their wedge salad so they scream at him."
Indiana felt unease. He turn to Wisconsin. "Sconnie, why do you NEVER take them?"
"Cause they call Gov and told him they NEVER want me to serve them again." Sconnie grin, remembering the last time he had serve them. It wasn't his fault they wanted to be mean so in return, he also gave them the same nasty attitude and being extremely petty with their orders.
"What did you did?" Michigan ask, raising a brow at his boyfriend's grin. "Well--"
"Mr. Miller yelled at him about his steak and he told him, he was in time out." Gov came in, interrupting their conversation. "And he ignore their table for SIXTEEN MINUTES!" He glare at him, to which the server simply rolled his eyes. "They learn the hard way."
Indiana frown softly. "But it's so werid and out of character of them, don't you think? Cause they always seem so friendly from afar."
Ohio huffed. "Yeah, they SEEM friendly but they aren't." "Yeah, that's what I hate about customers who fake their sweet persona but turn into a Karen if you mess up their orders but them? They are the masters of deceit. They pretend they are a sweet, and innocent lovely couple, use your first name, the husband shows you his vacation photos." Michigan mocked in a sweet tone while glaring at the two couples who luckily hadn't see him yet.
"And his wide compliments you, but if they notice something is wrong, they turn a 180 on you and rips you apart."
"Don't forget that they also treat you as if you're a piece of gum on their shoes." Ohio rolled his eyes.
Indiana felt even more nervous than before. He turn to Gov. "Do I have to serve them?"
"Yes Indy, you do. You're the only server I haven't receive a complaint from. Just go and greet them." Indiana sigh softly. "Fine." He said before heading to the back to prepare their cocktails.
Indiana soon approach the two couples, holding their tray of cocktails. He offer them his sweet smile like he always had to his guests. "Hello Mr. And Mrs. Miller, I have your cocktails prepare."
"Oh, Indy. Finally." Mrs. Miller said before smiling. "Just kidding." She giggle when notice a look of concern in Indy's face. He can only sigh softly to himself.
' So far, so good. ' He thought to himself.
"Indy, come here and look at this marlin I caught off the keys." Mr. Miller said, showing him a photo off his phone. Indiana glance over and offer a smile. "Oh, wow. Nice photo, Mr. Miller." He chuckle nervously.
"Sweetie, you know he doesn't care about that, do you hun?" Mrs. Miller ask, taking her drink. "I mean, it's impressive." Indiana was quick to defend, worried that if he said anything wrong, Mr. Miller might get upset.
Mr. Miller pay no attention to his wife. "It's a nine footer, look at this picture." He said. Indiana simply let out a hum of astonishment. "It's... it's impressive, you... you take good pictures, Mr. Miller."
"Indy, did you use perfume? You smell rather lovely today, then again, you always smell nicer than your other co-workers." She smile, bringing the drink up to her lips.
"Ope, well... I use my special cologne for this evening--" He got interrupted by Mrs. Miller spitting her drink. "Ugh! No! What is this!? This is not bombay!" She hiss. "And you didn't even make it light ice!?"
Indiana got taken back by her harshness. "Oh, I'm sorry, I can--"
"My beer had no head on it? Who taught you to pour beer!?" Mr. Miller glare at him. "Take this back and fix it!" He shouted and before Indy knows it, Mr. Miller had toss his drink at Indy, wetting him in process, he let out a gasp, glancing down at his now, ruined uniform.
"You'd think we spent enough money here to get our drinks right." Scoffed Mrs. Miller, her husband agreeing with her. Indiana quickly pick up their cups and tray. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'll get it fix, I'll get it fix." He quickly ran to the back, but he accidentally bumped into Nebby who just clock in for work.
"Indy? What happen?" Nebraska ask, noticing his co-worker' soak uniform and the tears that is about to come out any seconds now.
Indy ignore Nebby and ran to the back to where the kitchen would be. "I hate them, I hate them, I hate them!" He chanted, running past Gov who was filling in his papers on a board and Kansas and Missouri, who quickly follow after their upset co-worker.
"Indy!" They both cried out. "Indy?" Ohio glance up, Michigan and Sconnie had looked up from their own side work, seeing an upset Indy ran past them before he has disappeared behind the doors. Gov blinked in surprise. What had happen? He then felt an unnerved aurora surrounding him and glance at his left to see a rather upset Ohio and an angry Michigan and Sconnie who is glaring at him.
Already, they have that face of wanting to kill the two couples and the ' If you don't get them out, we will. ' face on. Gov sigh. "Alright, alright, I'll handle this." He quickly rushes over to the table.
He sigh loudly and cupped his hands together. "Well, I'm sorry to say this, Mr. and Mrs. Miller, but I'm afraid we can no longer serve you here." "What!?" Mr. Miller ask. "Is this a joke?" His wife sneer.
"Well, I'm out of options! You won't let Sconnie or Ill serve you, Mich and Hio will quit on me if I make them do it, you scare the twins to the point they'll run to the back to be avoided severing you, Kansas, Iowa and Misty just straight up refuse to and you two just don't like Nebby and you made my last server cry, so...." Gov was at a loss of words, raising his hands up before brought it down.
"I don't know what to say."
"This is ridiculous." Scoffed Mrs. Miller. "Are you serious right now?"
"This is absurd." Mr. Miller hiss. He scoffed in annoyance. "Bring the crybaby back, I'll apologize to him."
Gov shook his head. "I'm afraid that isn't gonna happen. I'll be the one to serve your drink, and afterwards, you gotta go."
Mr. Miller scoffed once more. "Do you really think-- AH!" The two couples got splash with icy, cold water. Ohio, holding the bucket, smirk on his face. "Oops, sorry."
The two couple, shock and cold, were quick to get up and leave, leaving a trail on water behind them as they exited the door. "Nice." Mich said, offering Ohio a fistbump.
Ohio smile and fistbump him. A rare moment the two will have for now.
"86 the Millers." Iowa cheered softly in the back to the other servers, having watch the whole scene that had happen. "By time, Gov done something." Scoffed Kansas.
