Shout it Shut it - Short Story About Work and Life Lessons

One day, I opened a food truck business with my wife. I became a chef who would cook the dish, and she became the waitress at the same time become my assistant. When the customers arrive, they will order to my wife, submit their names, then wait for the order to be cooked. 

When the order is done, my wife will call the customers by the name that they gave at first, and they're ready to go. My wife's fine with it because in her place, shouting is like the accent of her origins. Though not that common, this order method was done in a few places in my region. Mostly, the other places would rather use a speaker or a wireless guest call customers device. 

One day a food vlogger come to our place, make an order and gives a funny words as the order names. The videos of my wife shouting that funny word went viral on social media. More people started to go to our place and they give a random funny order names. Mostly the names is an absurd word, pun, or a funny word. The videos of my wife shouting random names went more viral, and our place got more customers every day.

There a mixed feelings in us, we are happy because we got more customers, but also questioned did they came because of the good taste of our food or just to get shouted by the random names. At first, we're not thinking much about it and have fun with it, but it all changed when they started to give inappropriate names.

More names that they have given, like a pun on genitals, criminal's name, and illegal activity. Some of them like 'Phuq Yu, Isac Adraw, Imma Molester, etc. When we ask them to give their appropriate name, they will get offended and say that it's their real name. 

Even though all the other customers seem unbothered and laugh when my wife shouts it, it started to make us uncomfortable. My wife also noticed some hate comments in her shouting videos. So one day after, we decided to change the way of our order. Without any announcement, we change the names of the orders into numbers. 

We can see the unsatisfaction facial expression of the customers when we do it. Some of them straight leave our place, some stay and straightly request my wife to shout by their names. My wife refused and explained that it's our new rules and for the good reason.

I feel so lucky because no chaos or riot has happened that day. Though most of them are unhappy with our decision and it decreases our sales, but we feel relieved. After a couple weeks of work with too many customers, we finnaly can chill because the number of the customers back to normal. 

We back to our reason for opening this FNB bussines, its because of the food. We will serve the best dish as we could.
