  • Duct Tape and SC of the week (language)

    Kudos on the cashier who works here:

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,293208,00.html

    And what a silly disguise. I wonder if it hurt coming off? And, naturally, being from Kentucky myself, I'm sure I'll get the brunt of it for this guy. Aren't the inbreeding jokes enough?

    And from my personal archive, the SC of the week from me!

    DISCLAIMER: At our store we have one counter, with nice signs placed above the cash register and the order pickup area that say "ORDER HERE" and "PICK UP ORDER HERE"---so it's pretty obvious as to where you should stand. Of course we get the deviants, so I've tried to come up with a list of them.

    Before we start the list, I'd like to point out that I have issues with making eye contact, which is a big part of our customer greeting. I try my best but there are times when I just can't look someone in the eyes and a lot of our customers tend to make a point to stare into my eyes when I glance up at them. It's annoying for both of us, I'm sure... and it gets worse when the customer does some of the irritations below.

    The Mother’s Day Customer Without Shame – Mother’s Day is a horrible holiday for all KFC employees in the USA. It’s mandatory for us to work on MD, or as I lovingly call it, Armageddon. Seems everyone likes to take out their moms on MD and KFC is a top pick. At any rate, we get the most mean, nastiest customers on MD, especially when we’ve sold about 500 pieces of chicken in an hour and need to cook more. Our cashier AN, who was five months pregnant at this time, was serving some fellow who ordered a 12 piece, then an eight piece, then switched back to a 12 piece and yelled at her when she started getting irritated with him (probably because of the amount of people packed into the dining room). He called her a “fucking retard” and asked her if she “knew what the hell she was doing” and AN comes flying back into the packaging area (where we make biscuits) bawling her eyes out and saying she couldn’t do it anymore. The customer was dealt with by a manager and sent on his way as quickly as possible, but not before he made a few disparaging remarks about AN and the manager. Our manager Joel never takes this crap from people, and so he told the guy, “I’m sorry, but we do not appreciate being treated like this. There is no reason for you to use that kind of language here. Please do not come back.” As far as I know he hasn’t come back.

    Actually, I should note we don't make the biscuits, we just tray them up. They come frozen in a box.

        Oh, the things I could tell about the food service jobs I have worked. A thread about my 6 month stint at Ponderosa alone would take a week to complete. Gladly, most of the practices that used to be have been stopped, either by law or general waking up by corporate.

        No, you really don't want to know, believe me.

              Nah, we save the inbreeding jokes for West Virginia. If you think that Duct Tape Man is bad, consider all the jokes that came out when WV made it *legal* to eat roadkill a few years back. For years, people had said that WV was a bunch of rednecks...but when something like that is news, it's no wonder why

                Okay so I just read the story and it actually disturbs me. Maybe it's because of where I use to live (the UK) and where I live now (South Florida) and the LP rules that I'm use to.

                So this guy comes in with duct tape on his face and they beat him with a club, tackle him, and hold him in a choke hold until the police come? Does anyone else not find this unacceptable? If he wasn't carrying a weapon and wasn't posing a threat then was the club to the face necessary? Also, isn't it illegal for a non-LP/security employee to apprehend a thief?

                    Most of the time, you are also allowed to use reasonable force to detain the thief, too. Although I think the choke hold might have been a bit much, but I can't say since I wasn't there.

                      Well, those guys have some serious balls because I would have let him leave. Besides calling LP and the managers I won't do anything else to catch a thief. I refuse to be stabbed over $100 worth of merchandise.

                        I think he probably would have learned his lesson just taking the duct tape off. In fact, I might try to do it for him while waiting for the police to arrive...

                          Unacceptable to beat the hell out of a robber?

                          Not at all. When people like this get the crap knocked out of them, I think it's AWESOME. In fact, if more of them got the crap knocked out of them more often, maybe they'd stop treating the rest of us like prey.

                          The only thing that would have made this story better would have been the addition of another pissed off person and a second Louisville Slugger.

                          I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who try to victimize others.

                            Same here. I thought I was one of less than 5 people on the planet who goes to KFC ONLY for the biscuits. (And occasionally the chocolate parfaits.)

                              Don't worry about me, I have a good friend who's a chef, and when you eat with her, she waits until you take a few bites and then asks you "do you want to know what you're REALLY eating and how it was made?"

                              No need to say I don't eat out with her anymore.
