  • Ice Cream Caper: The revenge.

    *MOD EDIT - Link to original story http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...560#post192560

    Revenge.
    They say it's a dish best served cold. In my case, it was a cup.

    You see, while I spent the next few months talking to my coworkers, supervisors, and even the GM about ways to get even, I grew more and more frustrated. Not because of the woman, but because it appeared to me that she would, ultimately, get away with it, seeing as how nothing I could think of to do with her was legal.
    (And everything I thought she should do to herself was physically impossible.)

    So, I gave up.

    Until, one night, a few months later, that I saw her again.
    Maybe she thought I didn't work there anymore, that enough time had passed since the ice cream caper. Maybe she thought I had forgotten.

    You see, I didn't recognize her voice over the drive thru speaker. I didn't recognize her from the attitude she gave me about making sure her order was right, as last time she was there, we screwed it up. I didn't even recognize her by her car as it came around to my window.
    No, I recognized her from the fingers (or lack thereof) that were missing from the hand with the money in it. As I followed the hand with my eyes, up the arm, and to the coke bottle glasses of the solitary individual in that car, I recognized her.
    But she didn't recognize me.
    Maybe it's because I had changed my shirt, who knows.

    At that point, I looked over her order. No ice cream. Damn. Strike plan A.
    Lets see, Big mac meal.
    How the hell can I mess with that??? Add sprinkles?? She'd write it off as sesame seeds.

    As I turned around to make her drink (with WAAAAAAY too much ice, and a speck of coke in it) I began to giggle. An evil giggle. I giggled so hard I had to turn away from the window. When I had composed myself enough, I put my plan into motion. I swung the window open, and went to hand her the drink.

    There I am, all but thrusting a 20 oz, slippery plastic/paper cup at a woman with 2 fingers on the hand that's reaching for the cup. And I can't bring myself to do it. I can't just dump it in her lap. I'll fall over laughing. So I try to hand it off. To...the...two....fingered....hand.

    Needless to say, the drink starts to fall.
    I try to catch it. Catch turns into "swing like your trying for a homer".
    Lid flies off. Coke and ice fly over her, my arm, her seat, down her blouse, and, of course, in her lap.
    I'm shocked for a minute. Until she looks at me, really, really looks at me, and recognizes me.

    Then she screams "BASTARD!!!" squeals tires, and leaves me standing at the window, arm still outstretched, in a cloud of exhaust.
    I didn't mean to do it.
    Honest.

    But I'm glad as hell it happened.
    She deserved it.

    Hmmm, I'm sure you didn't

    That she did, indeed perhaps mixing the coke with sprinkles first for the added lumpy sticky texture only known to those who half dissovle sugar in acidic drinks!

    A PSA, if I may, as well as another.

      I like your posts. You have a certain flair that turns every story into a secret escapade shared between friends.

        Note how she didn't park and come in to gripe to a manager. Why? Because she knows she got hers and she deserved it.

          And just to remind everyone, food-tampering or any sort is not cool, no matter how much you think the customer might deserve it.

          I think you were lucky, really. If she'd decided to come inside and make trouble for you, you couldn't really have counted on your manager to back you up, especially as your reasoning would be that she threw an ice-cream at you a few weeks ago.

            Definitely not cool

            Thing is, accedients happen (he said it was an acedient). She could have asked for another drink. And I'm guessing from the big mac meal thing that it's McDonald's. I know from experience that a mistake like that (if it was genuine) would not effect McDs or it's employees. (And no, I wasn't the cashier (sp?) involved)

            PS. Firefox's spell check will not correct some of these mistakes....

              What? I would totally stand my ground. I'm so lucky I have a manager who generally goes out of his way to stand up for us. And, at that point I might try to have her arrested for assault for throwing something at me. And if/since this really was an accident, then she really should have backed off anyway.

                As a side note, I approved this thread, since Bobsentme is in the initial stages of membership. I had misgivings, but the tampering involved no potentially dangerous chemicals and the like. It's borderline, and I don't wholly approve of what he did on the food side of things. He did have a burst of conscience at the end, which is what swung it for me. I thought I'd try it. If it goes downwards, we'll delete the thread. We had the post reported (thanks!) within minutes of it going live.

                  Ok, I'm confused. Has this post been edited?
                  I didn't see any food tampering going on.
                  There was this bit:

                  How the hell can I mess with that??? Add sprinkles?? She'd write it off as sesame seeds.

                  That tells me he thought about it, but didn't actually do anything.
                  Or did I miss something here?

                    I won't comment on the rights/wrongs or how I feel about them in this post, I just want to say I love this intro:

                      This can all go back to what the guy from Howard Stern dressed as Darth Nihilus once said: "If you act like an asshole and people treat you like one, don't be surprised".

                        Well, obviously, if there was no mention of actual food tampering, I think the warning was for the mention of the possibility of it, and the attitude that, if he could have thought of a 'good' tamper, he would have had no hesitation in doing so.
                        Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

                          Again, she orders something, then runs off without getting her money back. She must have some disposable income.

                          I mean, she did pay before getting her order, right?

                          Me: Okay..so I think I get why Zoro wears a bandana
                          DDD: Cuz it's cool

                          So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

                            She paid. She handed over the money in with the 2 fingered hand, which is how the OP recognized her.
