RIGHT?!?! Who says that??

Also what does that even mean? That, as a working-class northerner I was born to serve posh southerners with titles like Lord, Lady, or Esquire?

She probably meant horse racing but still. What a strange thing to say to someone.

Is it the dead inside look? Is it the mild dread of dealing with the public? Especially southerners.

Got flashbacks to working Royal Ascot in 2021, serving poshos in a private box and one lady said, “this is in your blood, isn’t it? I can tell”.

“Do you work here?”

“No.You know, you’re not the first person to ask me that.”

“Oh, you get it all the time?”

“No no, I mean TODAY.”

“You do have that vibe. How does that make you feel?”

Lady, what kind of question is that? Makes me feel like I’m at work on what’s supposed to be a rare day off!

The next woman asked me if this was the door for Row C, I pointed to the sign above the door that had the rows it was for and said yes. She then asked if she could go in. I said I didn’t know.

They asked if I was staff and were genuinely surprised when I said no.

“You look like staff.”

Ok? What do you want me to do with this information?

All I was doing was standing by the stall entrance that was closest to my row as we hadn’t been let in yet. The first couple asked if they could go in, I replied that I didn’t know but didn’t think so as the curtains were drawn and through a gap I could see staff unbolting a couple chairs.

Wasn’t dressed as a total scumbag because it’s the theatre in the capital and the gig was for charity, so you’ve got to put some kind of effort in.

Tapping the sign.
