Am I to understand that you can't give me the drink until I pay for it?!
I'm a flight attendant and have to deal with a lot of snotty businessmen. We sell alcohol for $5 and before going around with the beverage cart, we always make a specific announcement that correct change is needed. If we've already sold enough to make change, then we can break large bills, but we do not carry around extra cash.
One day, I was doing my beverage service and this man said he wanted to get a beer. Now, it was my first flight of the day, so I certainly didn't have any change. He hands me a $20. I explain to him that I cannot break a $20, but I will go down the line, and if anyone else can give me change, he can have his beer. I offer to get him another beverage in the meantime. He says no, so I push my cart down to the next person.
All of a sudden I hear, "EXCUSE ME!!" I turn back around, and this snooty shit says, maybe the stupidest thing I have ever heard: "Am I to understand that you cannot give me the drink until I pay for it?!"
I almost burst out laughing. Apparently, this man does not know how society works. You don't get anything until you pay for it, dumbass, and I don't care how much you bitch about it. And I'm certainly not going to comp a drink for no reason, especially to someone who is so rude. He complains and moans and says he flies all the time and this is the worst service he's ever had, and he's never had this trouble with British Airways. Hey jerkoff, we ain't British Airways, we're a small regional jet service, so you're lucky you're getting any service at all.
I go complete the rest of my service, and of course, I cannot get change. I go back and tell scumfuck this unfortunate news, upon which he says he wants a comment card and this is inexcusable and he's never flying this airline again. Oh, what a shame. He'll surely be missed. Have fun on BA. When we land, he doesn't even acknowledge me, as he exits the plane. I was actually kind of disappointed; I was just waiting for him to say something obnoxious, so I could tell him off. Oh well.
