  • Saturday Suck (Long with some language)

    So today management saw fit to place me in the back window as they do almost every saturday afternoon and I had a few sucky moments but nothing really surprising. Now the weather was a little cold but not enough to numb my fingers and the wind was rather bipolar as well, not a good time for assholes to leave their dollar bills on the window sill...

    Me: the self-proclaimed bitch
    DB: douchebag without any home training

    Me: (with hand out ready to collect) "$X.XX please."

    DB: "Here." (takes out a bunch of wadded up dollar bills and sits them on the window sill when it's obviously windy out)

    Me: (Has to un crumble EACH INDIVIDUAL DOLLAR) "That's not a good idea to do that sir because it could blow away it being windy and all. My mom always told me never to put money on a counter like that because it's rude..." and don't think I'm chasing after it if it does

    DB: (all dumb-like) "What?"

    Me: (grumble) "Nothing, nevermind."

    DB: (mumbles something and puts the rest of his change ON THE WINDOW SILL)

    Me: Your ass is grass (gritting teeth) "Thank you..."

    Then I was placed on a register on the front line. My FIRST order was sucky. There was an older man with his wife and presumably his granddaughter.

    OM: "I want double hamburger meal."

    Me: (making sure he said double hamburger and not double cheeseburger) "You said double hamburger right?"

    OM: (rudely, as though I were insulting his intelligence, or lack thereof) "Yes..."

    His wife merely smiled weakly while holding the child, I think she too sensed the wad of bullshit about to issue from his mouth.

    Me: "Okaaay, just asking, anything else?"

    OM: "Yes. A #4."

    Me: "With or without cheese?" (Making sure this order is rung up correctly so I don't have to see his face again)

    OM: (rolls eyes and sighs as though I'm not supposed to be making sure his food is made the right way) "Without."

    Me: "Okay, and is this for here or to go?" (I tend to forget to ask that and he seems like the kind of guy who'd get offended if you bagged his food when he wanted to dine in instead)

    OM: (sighs again and glares) Oh shit...here we go "Are you paying any attention? There are three of us here, can't you see that? We're not done yet!"(at this point I'm shaking from the urge to cuss him out and tell him where he can go while his wife tries to calm him down, only to be shrugged off)

    Well excuse the fuck outta me! Now, just because you you have a kid with you doesn't mean you're ordering for her too, in fact, you could have just been getting something for yourself. I'm not Miss Cleo and I can't forsee your intentions for being here, so don't have a bitch fit because I wanted to know if you wanted to eat here or leave, which I wish you would. I can ask anytime during the ordering proccess but it doesn't mean I'm concluding the order, jackass. It merely keeps me from forgetting to ask you before you pay.

    Me: "Okay, I was just asking, I didn't know.

    NL: "Um, We'd like the chicken tender kid's meal please. Thank you."

    I feel bad for that woman, to live with a complete ass like him. I gave myself a mental pat on the back for retaliating, as much as I wanted to.

    I was at a fast food place las week, placing my order. Their were Four registers, three were open, tow had customers them. The cashier at one without customers was cleaning up the counter, restocking pamphlets, etc when this one lady comes running up yelling "miss miss miss miss miss miss miss" and pushes me aside while I am giving the cashier my order. Knowing what these cashiers have to deal woht I stayed off to the side for a second.

    SC: These fries are greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeset.
    Cclerk) Well, we do cook them in afryer so they are naturally greasey.
    SC: *Throws fries on floor* GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE ME NNNNEWWWWWW OONNESSSSSSS NOOOOOOOOOW!
    C: Hyy, bill can I have another medium fry.
    C: (to SC) anothe rone ill be right up they just came fro the fryer.
    SC: THANK YOU! *steps away form counter*
    C: Sir, sorry about that, how can I finish you order?
    As I start to finish off my order SC returns....
    SC: *point at me* YOU WILL WIT UNTIL I AM SATISIFIED WITH MY ORDER BEFORE SHE SERVES YOU, WHO DOY YOU THINK YOU ARE?
    Me: ....
    C: Mam, you are not the only person here, we are packaging your fries now.
    SC: I DEMAND that you charge this guy (me) for disrespecting me.
    C: *motioning to someone in back*
    M(manager): Mam, if you are going to harass our customers, I am going to have to ask you to leave. We are giving you new fries as y....
    SC: You are bad too, I will be telling the papers about this!
    (storms out the door)
    M: Sir, sorry about that. If you waint one minute I will get you a gift certificate for a free meal.
    ME: If you want to, that is fine, but I work in retail and dela with this often also,
    M: I insist.

    I got the goft cert and larger meal also. I will definably go back.

      Man, the downside of being a big guy is no one ever tries to do this stuff around me. I've been told that my normal neutral facial expression is somewhat mean looking, so I guess my mere presence tends to discourage SC tantrums like those. Just because I'm 280 pounds with a ponytail and beard combo that looks like I could blend in with a group of Hells' Angels doesn't mean I should be deprived of such public theater!

      Of course it's also a major plus as well, I liked it when I was working in retail but now I don't get the entertainment when dining out that you guys do.
