Shamrock Shuttle

I went to work today and my co-workers warned, "Be prepared for Shamrock Shuttle." I said, "Uh, that don't sound too good. I never heard of Shamrock Shuttle, what is it?" They explained to me that some bus will bring a bunch of people over the age of 21 and they'll go to bars here at Frankford (Mayfair) to drink and stuff. All I thought was, "Great! A bunch of drunk people." It's kind of funny because I never really seen drunk people in person before. They came in the Pretzel Factory screaming, "AH! I'M SO HUNGRY, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT." Thought it was interesting until some guy came in, ordered three pretzels and push his empty cup that was once filled with beer or some liquor towards me. I pushed it back to him, then he asked for a refill. I thought he was kidding, but then I realized he's drunk. My co-worker, Mary said, "I can give you some water." The man then said, "Alright, give me some water!" This drunkie then tries to read my name tag and pronounced it as "Irene." My other co-worker is screaming and correcting him that it's "Elaine," but he didn't seem to pay any attention. He stated that he wants to take a shot of water with me. I took a step back and just stared at him, being creep-ed out. He then said that he was serious and he'll buy a bottle of water if he had to. I literally ran to the back and he screamed "HEY, e-lina come back! We got to take a shot!" Everyone was laughing and I'm thinking Ohmygod. He finally left, but came back 20 minutes later. My coworker, Bridget spotted him and warned, "Run, Elaine, run!" So I went to the back again and he asked why did I leave again. He talked to my manager, Amy and asked her what time is she getting off and she told him 9 P.M. He replied with, "Okay. When you ladies get off work, I'll buy you, Elise, and Bridget a shot." By the end of the day, I had three new names: Irene, E-Lina, and Elise. My manager started calling me Elisa, haha. This is definitely a day of work I will always remember. Also, this Shamrock Shuttle event will occur next Saturday as well. Can't wait...
