Argh, stupid customers. To start with, an old man comes up to the bar.
SC: Cup of tea please.
Me: OK then.
I make the cup of tea.
Me: That will be £x.xx please.
SC: What?! I've already paid for this!
Me: You have?
SC: YES! When I paid for my meal! I asked if I could pay for the cup of tea at the same time so I could just come up and collect it when I was done!
Me: Ok sir, do you have your reciept?
SC: I've already paid for it!
Me: I understand that sir, but my shift has just began, I did not know you had already paid for your tea.
SC: Well you should! You should know! I have already paid for this!
He throws his reciept at me. It checks out.
SC: See??
Me: OK sir, that's fine. The person that handled your meal has gone home, that's why I never knew you had already paid for it.
SC: Gone home??
Me: Yes, his shift ended at 3.
SC: Well he should have stayed until I was ready to go home!
Idiot.
Later, a large group came up. I set up a tab for them. This was slightly annoying because it meant that whenever one of them came up to the bar, I had to drop whatever I was doing to help them.
My shift ended. I pulled a co-worker over. I showed him where the tab was.
Me: That large group has a tab *shows him* so I'll leave you in charge of it. Is that OK?
CW: Yeah that's fine.
Me: Just make sure it's all paid before they leave.#
I get my coat. As I am walking towards the exit, one of the members of the large group grabs my arm.
SC: Excuse me...where are you going?
Me: My shift is over. I've given your tab to a co-worker, he'll look after you.
SC: You're going HOME?
Me: Yes.
SC: But we're not finished yet!
I spoke to my co-worker earlier. He said the large group didn't leave until closing! Yeah, I was gonna stay five hours without getting paid to keep them happy!
SC: Cup of tea please.
Me: OK then.
I make the cup of tea.
Me: That will be £x.xx please.
