Nacho SC

[videodrone]

I take part in many groups at my college. With involvement comes much fund raising, so one of my groups decides to have a Nacho Sale.
It was going really well and we were selling a lot. Everyone seemed really happy that they didn't have to wait in line at the food court. We were selling huge plates of nachos for just $2 and we had all kinds of fun toppings you could add on for free. Not bad, right?
Well, someone didn't think so. I see a woman standing in front of me so I ask...

Me: Hi! Can I get you anything?
SC, in a snotty tone: Your nachos are too expensive. (STAAAAAAARE)
Me: oh really. -goes back to eating the nachos I made for myself-
SC: Didn't you hear me? They're too expensive! (EXPECTANT STARE)
Me: Then get food somewhere else.
SC: -gasp- well fine!
and then she bought the nachos for $2... o_O

[Spiffy McMoron]

*pulls out $2*

I'll buy her share of the "too expensive" nachos. Seriously, you can't even buy a Big Mac for that price--what did she expect to pay?

[Misanthropical]

Did she expect you to give them to her for free? What a nut!

[smileyeagle1021]

$2 for nachoes

*pulls out two $1 bills*

I'll take a plate

that girl is just a loon

[rerant]

wtf? Campus food is by far some of the most expensive shit ever. It's almost as bad as movie theatre food. I would rather have something more nutritious for lunch, but if $2 was all I had one me I'd be all over those nachos like a fly on shit.

Who haggles at a fundraiser.

Wait, I've just realised where I am...

[Demolition Man]

Heck its rougly $4 for nachos at the Metrodome.... and all you get is a bag of chips and a little cheese. $2 for a big plate with all the topings you want is a freakin bargain compared to that.

[Evil Queen]

Holy snap, Nachos for 2$?!

*digs out a fiver*

I'll take two orders, one for me and one for a friend. Keep the dollar, too, two massive plates is well worth the leftover buck.

SC: Didn't you hear me? They're too expensive! (EXPECTANT STARE)
Me: Then get food somewhere else.

Bwah ha ha ha!!! Oh I bet the look on her face was priceless!

[Kiwi]

oh man now I want some Nachos!

[Iris Kojiro]

*squeals* Naaachhhoooosss!!!! And only for two bucks? Sign me up!

*temporarily cheats on diet*

[Fenrus]

I'm trying to figure out if I can eat all the nachos I can get for a tenner....

So far, the answer is a resounding "ZOMGNACHO!!!!!!!!!!"

so this is why you're so hungry...

and is it wrong that I've stalked you long enough now that I can actually hear that in my head in your voice (seriously, being able to read something hearing the person who wrote it's voice is difficult for me).

[Jester]

First off, I'd like to say that the woman was a complete snatch maggot, and anyone who thinks $2 for nachos is too expensive is either not living in modern times or not living in reality....or both. It's a smoking deal, and as someone said, haggling at a fundraiser is kinda tacky. Unless of course it's a yard sale, where such is expected.

That being said, I did have a problem with the way you handled it.

SC: Didn't you hear me? They're too expensive! (EXPECTANT STARE)
Me: Then get food somewhere else.

While you are correct, and I would certainly have thought that, to actually say it that way is just rude. Sorry, but it is. The same point could have been made far more politely while also pointing out her idiocy in a way that (hopefully) would have made her feel like the fuck trout she most certainly is. For example, it could have gone like this:

SC: Didn't you hear me? They're too expensive! (EXPECTANT STARE)
Videodrone: I'm sorry you feel that way, but we believe that $2 for a big plate of homemade nachos is quite a bargain. Again, I am sorry you don't, but of course you are free to spend your money where and how you see fit.

I am not excusing the SC in this at all. Just saying your reaction was a bit inappropriate. ESPECIALLY for a fundraiser, where the idea is generally not just to raise money, but also to raise the public's awareness of the group raising funds, and to engender a positive opinion of said group. Being rude, even to a rude person, cannot accomplish these goals.

Just my thoughts. Now, if you could just pass me a plate of those nachos.......

[Mordecai]

Trying to be polite to her most likely wouldn't have done anything. Believe me, I've tried being nice to people like this, and it usually goes nowhere.

Oh, and pass me some of those nachos. I got the munchies and the only other kind I can get are the $6.00 ones at the movie theater.
