My wife ran into this classic example getting lunch today.
So she's at the Subway. Now, a past experience she had was that when she gave all the subs she wanted to order at once at a different Subway, the girl behind the counter got snotty and said "I can't make them all at the same time, you've to order them one at a time!". So, my wife has done that since as she's not the kind who likes to make waves. She hasn't had a problem, until today.
So she's ordering. When she got to the Subway, it was empty. No one else except the folks working were there. So my wife starts to order, and after the employee is done with her sub and mine, my wife is about to order what she wants for our son when this guy comes right up to the counter and starts barking his order at the employee. My wife says, "Excuse me sir, but I wasn't finished." The guy gets all pissed and before anyone can say anything else shouts "Fine! I'll take my business elsewhere!" and stomps off. My wife apologized to the employee, but she acknowledged the guy was an ass. "It's not on you, it's on him, he's just used to people ordering all at once. Pfft, he can just go to the deli, they have sandwiches there too." (This one was in a Wal-Mart.)
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The guy was a total ass either way.
