Yeah, I'm not going to agree with you

[customersruinmylife]

I had just finished work in the kitchen and was waiting for my ride home. I was stood at the end of the bar chatting to co-workers as they worked. A customer walked up to the bar, I recognised him as a regular awkward customer, but he did not recognise me. He stood next to me and placed his order with a co-worker.

SC: Two pints of lager please.
CW: Sure.
SC: Oh no! I didn't mean two pints, I meant a pint and a half.
CW: OK, no problem. Any particular lager?
SC: What?
CW: Any particular brand?
SC: Uhhhh....that one.

He points randomly to the pumps. Even I couldn't tell which one he was pointing at.

CW: I'm sorry, which one did you point at?
SC: *Lets out a large sigh* That one! *Points randomly again*
CW: I don't know which one you are pointing at sir.
SC: Carling! *Sighs again*

CW walks to the other end of the bar to make the drinks. The SC sighs again.

SC: Why didn't you use the pump I pointed at??
CW: Oh, that pump isn't connected at the minute, it has just been cleaned.
SC: Well, what if I wanted it out that pump?
CW: There's only water in that pump at the moment...
SC: *Massive sigh* Fiiiiiiinne. But I didn't see you put a dash of lemonade in.
CW: You never asked...
SC: *Sighs AGAIN*

CW, without saying a word, walked down the bar and put some lemonade in the drinks. The SC leaned over to me.

SC: I think they must only employ retards in this place. He can't even follow simple instructions! Don't you agree??
Me: Well it helps if you actually give out instructions before you expect people to follow them. There's only one retard from where I'm standing, and it isn't him.
SC: Wh...wh...you're a dick!

He stormed off with his drinks. CW asked what happened, and I told him what he said.

CW: Well, he's going to get ignored next time he comes up to the bar.

Ooooh, burn!! Nicely pwned!

Although it's funny and kind of sad that he didn't recognize you, considering how long you've worked there, even as manager. But then, most SCs tend not to recognize we poor drones when we're out of uniform because we're just not that important...

Unless we're in another store, and they need help, then that starts all the myriad "Do you work here?" shenanigans...

*golf clap* Nicely played, sir.

[Anakah]

What a jerk and you're so my hero for saying that to him!

[morgana]

Ah, that was lovely! Thank you for sharing it.

[mariamousie1]

I love it when people act like idiots and then expect the people around them to agree. "The people here suck, AMIRIGHT?" Uh. No. No you aren't.

[Zellie Crescent]

That was great, that reminds me of the time I got away with calling a customer a moron.

[Magpie]

Bad enough that they'd expect someone else to agree with them, but to do it to the person BEHIND the bar requires a new level of stupid.

[PepperElf]

yeah never treat the keeper-of-the-alcohol like shit
that guy must have really been stupid

[tropicsgoddess]

Well done, CRML!
