Whole Wheat is NOT a sub...what do you want on it?

[Jay 2K Winger]

...And charge her $7.50 for it. After all, it's nonstandard, so it's not one of the ANY ANY ANY regular[/SIZE] footlongs that you can get for five bucks, now is it?

Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

She seriously needs an attitude adjustment!

[Pixilated]

My response would have been to hand her a full length hunk of whole wheat bread. "Here you go."

I would have taken a whole wheat roll, cut it open and placed another whole wheat roll inside it. "Here. This is a whole wheat sub."

Love both of these! After all, that's what she asked for, wasn't it?

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. Honestly, how stupid can anyone be?

I know I've asked this before, and I do hate to be repetitive, but.....

HOW long have you been reading this site?

[RootedPhoenix]

I'd have just given her the bread too.

ETA: The bread-in-bread idea was priceless too. I might have done that instead, if I'd thought of it fast enough.

I feel the pain. After 26 orders of "A double RedBull" in a week, I began to despair for the species.

Please, please, PLEASE stop giving them a goal to reach for! lol

[SecurityWench]

It is easy to come up with ideas hours after the fact.

If I ever win the lottery and have more money than I know what to do with, I would be tempted to open a store and staff it with stand up comedians. The ones that know how to handle hecklers.

As an English major I don't think I'm expecting way too much from customers.

I am married to one. I get in trouble all the time.

I always thought it would be nice to open a few businesses - a nice hotel with restaurant and bar, a small take out place and perhaps a small tchatcheke store, and staff it with CSers. I would heartily encourage the firing of customers that are idiots, rude or jackasses. I would back up employees that had to deal with the public for following the house rules. I would have no issue with people with piercings or tattoos or following alternate religions and lifestyles. The customer is definitely not always right!

I really wish I was an economist on par with Cariadoc [David Friedman] because I would love to start lecturing on the evils of how employers are screwing the pooch in the vain attempt to maximize profits. Maybe I'll chat with him next pennsic and see if there is anything he can do about it. He is a very reasonable man. [he has a fairly interesting blog as well.]

[Rainman]

What a dumb bitch. That is all.

I have a couple of Timber Wolves out here that would like to have a word with you ... something about being insulted.

Great idea! I'll put that on my 'lottery win' list as well.

And yeah, hindsight is always 20/20, especially when you're talking about good comebacks.

So should I send my resume to you now?

Most employers are so far removed from actual day-to-day business that they neither know how they're screwing the pooch, nor would they care. Anyone who can find work in a company that has an alternative point of view is lucky indeed (I used to work for a family-owned newspaper that did have that alternative point of view, and they were excellent people to work for.)
