Wasn't even sure how to title this one, but this is a story from a co-worker that happened when she went to pick up lunch today.
There's a local hot dog shop that specializes in hot dogs with 'burn down the barn' chili sauce on them. (Not all that hot when I tried them, but then again, I eat buffalo wings on a regular basis.
) The guy sells out of his daily stock pretty fast, so you have to get there early to have a chance at them, because he is rather popular around the area.
That said, on to the story:
Several people in the plant wanted to get some of these hot dogs for lunch, and my co-worker found her self the designated gopher. She needed about 31 to fill everyone's order, so she just rounded it up to an even 3 dozen, and planned on selling off the extras (she paid for it all, everyone re-imbursed her.)
So she goes in to the shop:
CW = Co-worker
AID = Anger Issues Dude
CW: Hi, I'd like 3 dozen hot dogs please, and...<she gets cut off>
AID: Are you from out of town!? <Said in a very pissy tone>
CW: Um.. no, I'm not.
AID: Then how dare you make such a big order during my busiest lunch hour, if you're going to order something like this, you call ahead!!! <he's practically biting her head off at this point.>
CW: <completely shocked> Oh.. I'm sorry I didn't know. Well, 4 of those need to be... <again he cuts her off>
AID: <just holds his hand up like 'shut up'.>
He then proceeds to make all 36 hot dogs the same, despite the fact that some of the others wanted them made with mustard, some no onions, etc. There's three other people in the shop, and at this point she's ready to crawl under the rug. She's never gone to this place, she had no idea, and no one told her. She wasn't sucky or anything, and had the guy simply said, "Well, that's a big order, it'll take time. Do you mind if I get these three people behind you first?", she wouldn't have had a problem with it.
I'm definitely not going to patronize the place, that's for sure. I can understand being frustrated that someone walks in with a large order, but yelling at them is not the way to handle it.
