So, for very relevant context, I work in a retirement community as a server. Normally, when working with old people, you encounter death a lot so you (or me in this case) can get a bit numb or used to it. Well, recently we had a couple die in the same day a couple days ago, and as a server you get to know who’s still around and who isn’t because you’re serving these people food.
Today I was doing deliveries (room service) when I noticed that the husband of the deceased couple had an order in. “This can’t be right,” I thought, “he died on Friday.” So naturally I go to the front desk, and here’s where I effed up. I said to the concierge “Hey, not to sound insensitive, but I’m pretty sure zombies can’t order food.”
And behind me I heard, “Oh, that must be for me, I’m his daughter.” AND LO AND BEHOLD WAS IN FACT THIS DECEASED MAN’S DAUGHTER, WHO HEARD ME SAY EVERY WORD. I profusely apologized and gave her food and while she took it in good spirit and said even she would say something like that, I feel TERRIBLE.
TL;DR: I got a deceased residents food and implied he was a zombie in front of his daughter who was moving out his stuff
