July 21, 2008 by Ro.
On a blisteringly hot Sunday, MB4 adds another illustrious experience to its history. Not only do we perform the Star Spangled Banner for the third time at the Somerset Patriots game, but we spend the rest of the game helping to man the concession stand. We abide by the stringent rules regarding attire and proudly don the burgundy apron of our trade. We restrain our hair and limit our facial jewelry. We focus attentively during our 20 minute training session as our teenage supervisor sketchily explains how to serve four billion types of food, handle 700 types of coupons (all requiring different procedures) and operate a cash register that looks like it could maneuver the space shuttle.
Thankfully we are moderately bright and more or less master the operation by the bottom of the sixth inning. Our mistakes are few and forgiveable: the soft serve ice cream that looks like a pile of dog doo, Ro punching in $2000 instead of $20.00, serving the Cub Scout soda in a souvenir beer cup.
It was really a lot of fun. However, we all agreed it’s a lot less terrifying to sing in front of a stadium of hundreds of people than to figure out how to process a VIP coupon.
