Also oh god so many of us like kpop at this bubble tea store apparently bc I mentioned seeing stray kids & both my coworkers knew what I was talking about & we got in a convo about kpop

No this is not including kpoppy assistant manager lol. She's still not back from her trip yet.

(this being years ago)#so he used google translate to communicate lol. we figured it out.#one thing is for sure tho. im definitely much better at understanding heavy accents than i was when i first got this job lol
