We guarantee a smile with every transaction.

[Arucard]

Saw this at a KFC in the food court near where I work today at lunch time. They have a sign up behind the counter that makes me cringe. "We guarantee a smile with every transaction". I feel sorry for those employees, but, apparently, one at least has developed an interesting defense mechanism.

E: Employee
SC: Guess
NSC: Random Non SC

E: "Here you are sir, have a nice day" *didn't smile, obviously having a stressful, busy lunchtime rush*
SC: (You know this is coming) *gets an evil/smarmy grin on his face* "You didn't smile. That sign promises me a smile with my transaction. I think I should get my money back for this meal now."
E: *without missing a beat* "Actually sir, you appear to be grinning at me right now. The sign doesn't state where the smile has to come from, and since I seem to have made you smile, I have fulfilled our guarantee."
NSC: *rather loudly* "Ooh! BURN!"

Best part, What looked to be the shift manager (different uniform to everyone else) was at the register next to this one doing something, and didn't even comment on the exchange.

Ohmigod that's BEAUTIFUL!!! I would've applauded. Hell, I did applaud the computer screen!! I love when signs are open to interpretation!!

Very nice indeed, buy that cashier a drink. (on lupo, i have no money)

[PepperElf]

hell that'd have made me smile too
which would mean the SC got 2 smiles for the price of one


double burn?

I don't normally post when I haven't got anything witty or constructive to say, but that story deserves a heartfelt Sweet!

[iradney]

A round of drinks (of water) for all and sundry! that was beautiful

[Spork4pedro]

HAHAHA!! man! I would have loved to see that! Kudos to that customer!

[bendertiger]

It's workers like that who shouldn't be working at kfc, they should be lawyers

Could you imagine punching out something like that in a courtroom?

[Shironu-Akaineko]

Drinks for all!
One orange juice and 300 straws, please!

Amen to that! Nice burn on that SC!

to the employee! And the NSC. Isn't it fun to turn the tables on the SCs?

Where I work we now have to hand out a smile to everybody. Seriously. You get mints with happy face wrappers on it. And we have happy face stickers. And I don't work at an elementary school but I do feel like it.

I love when a SC gets owned!!!
