I ordered 2 grilled cheese sandwiches with soup for delivery tonight because my wife has some respiratory issue (likely bronchitis, she gets it almost once every winter, to the doc tomorrow) and that is what she wanted. Didn't have the ingredients to make it myself and she didn't want me to leave to go get them.
Guy knocks on my door, I open it and there stands a 20 something in fatigues and boots, no coat. It's -3 out without windchill. He is not in surplus stuff. Crisp, clean and pleated. I am not ex .mil and know nothing about uniforms but the shirt had two places for Velcro patches on each side of the chest. Both had patches, one on the right (his left) had a Velcro patch that said "ARMY" on the left, (his right) was a Velcro patch that appeared to be a last name. There were Velcro patches on either shoulder but I don't know what they mean, one I could not see in the low light and the other was three of these ^. What you get when you hold shift and hit the number six on your key board.
The guy was sir this and sir that and basically snapped my food at me in quick movements. I was waiting for the weirdo to salute me as I handed him my signed copy.
WTF was that? A way to trick people into thinking they should give him a bigger tip?
