Friday is our busiest day of the week because we have this all-you-can-eat catfish thing. This Friday was a little more stressful than usual because we were training a new girl. She's not too confident on the registers yet, and so she messes up...a lot...on counting back change and finding the correct buttons to push.
So, anyway, it's about halfway through the biggest rush of the night, and this family that comes in every Friday, and are always the rudest assholes we ever get walk in the door. I'm standing next to the new girl, watching her, making sure she's doing ok, when the leader of the Asshole clan decides that I'm not doing my job. He says "Young man, are you here to wait on people, or are you here to just stand around with your head up your ass?"
I usually have more patience for this guy, but ever since I found out that last Sunday, he tried to scam us out of a pretty large amount of money, my patience for him has diminished dramatically.
My reply "Someone will wait on you in a second, she's [new girl] new, so I need to help her out. Please be patient and wait."
He wasn't too happy about this reply and lack of instant service, but as I said this in a very polite tone (and I've been told that I sound very dangerous when I squeeze out the fake politeness, dangerous as in "you're going to regret fucking with me today") he couldn't complain.
