Soups and Boyfriends

by: Sarah Crowley
(i wrote this at work the other day)

I am presently and the establishment of my employment.
Zupas Cafe.
Today my position is Door Greet. As the title would imply, i greet people at the door. But to add even more importance to my job, I time the lines speedy-ness every 15 minutes. As far as my knowledge goes, we Never use those numbers.
From my door greeting position I have a perfect view of soups, and the customers trying them.

You come in and lets say you try the Yucatan Chicken Tortilla (the first soup you see) it's tasty but you burn your tongue so bad it's kind of a turn off. You move on to the next soup in line Chicken Enchilada Chili. Try it, like it.. (are even smart enough to not burn your tongue this time) but the flavor's not your type.
Side note- i just told this lady as she was leaving with a to go meal "enjoy your meal!" "you too!" "......?" 
continuing- 
now the nice Zupas worker suggests you try the ever popular Tomato Basil. You take a sip from your sample cup and it's love. From then on you get it every time and tell all your friends it's the absolute best. You love everything about it, the texture, taste, the free scoop of orzo pasta, it's a wonderful romance you have.
but there's a problem i see that the customers don't.
they never made it far enough to try Thai Lobster Curry, Wisconsin Cauliflower, Mushroom Bisque, Lobster Bisque, and other yummy soups. They tied themselves to Tomato Basil too early in the game.
they are potentially Really missing out.
Now one day you get the stomach flu and puke that orange-ish paste all over in the toilet bowl. It's still a good soup but things just aren't the same after. This pushes you into trying new different soups that you may or may not like better. But at least you'll have tried.
and one day you may go back to your Tomato Basil, or find your new lover in the great unkown. You could even fall madly in love with the lovely Lobster Bisque that you almost didn't even try.

the end
(i'm brilliant)
