Glitch in the matrix for @sixpenceee

A strange thing happened to me. I work in a retirement home (in the kitchen.) Every day we have to process orders for the residents. We switch spots occasionally but for the most part I’m on the end of the line, where I check over the trays to make sure the order is correct and then I add the drinks. People generally get the same thing every day, so it’s a pretty easy job most of the time. Yesterday we were moving along as normal when there was a short burst of light, like during a storm. I looked at my coworker, who serves the food, and I said “what just happened?” She said, “I don’t know it looked like the power flickered.” We kind of shrugged it off and got back to work. A few trays down the line I noticed that one of the ladies that normally gets three orange juices had marked three cranberry juices instead. I pointed it out to my coworker and said “Is this right? She’s never gotten anything but orange juices.” She said “It’s a mistake, send the oranges.” So I did.

Well, today that same lady had marked cranberry juices again, and highlighted them, so I assumed she had just changed her mind. I jokingly remarked that she must be tired of orange, but my manager overheard me and said “What are you talking about? She has always gotten cranberry.” Of course a discussion ensued in which everyone except me and the server insisted that for the four years the lady had lived there, she’d ALWAYS gotten cranberry juice. Now, I do this job five days a week and I know for a fact that prior to yesterday, this woman had gotten THREE ORANGE JUICES every single day. We went and pulled her tickets and there was cranberry on all of them. I know it doesn’t seem like a huge thing, but when you are so certain of your reality that you’d bet your house on it, and it switches in the blink of an eye, it’s incredibly confusing and not a little scary. Only me and the one coworker have any memory of the orange juices. And we were the only ones who saw the flash of light.
