I went into a local McDonalds today to get my PMS junk food fix and it was packed to bursting. The staff were rushing around like blue arsed flies trying to get everyone sorted out and served and the kitchen staff were working hard getting the burgers cooked. The lines were long, and I'd waited about ten minutes before another till was opened up.
Naturally, I stepped up to it and was served. This guy next to me who'd only walked thru the doors two minutes beforehand then started whining about how he should have been served before me cuz he'd been waiting for three minutes. I said to him that I'd been waiting ten minutes and all he had to do was be bloody patient, cuz anyone with eyes could see that the place was jammed.
Mr Passive Aggressive didn't dare to answer me, but instead kept on a steady monologue to the air about how it was disgraceful that other people were served before him, how he was going to see a supervisor, and how he was never coming back. When the supervisor arrived, she offered him a free meal next time he came in, but Mr PA whined that he was never coming back. She just shrugged and said that she was sorry he had to wait, but the place was packed and they were short staffed.
I said that I had been waiting patiently in line for ten minutes and that I was first, before Mr PA, so I didn't see what the problem was that I was served before him. The server confirmed this, and said that he'd nodded at me to tell me to come to him. Again, Mr PA didn't answer me; instead, he continued to whine at the supervisor, saying he'd never come back. He eventually shut his piehole long enough to order his meal; at this point, my burger arrived and I went to sit down.
