Sucky Sucker Customer

[TruthHurts]

I was at a restaurant waiting on a to go order. They were slammed so I had to wait a few minutes. There is a family at the table behind me getting ready to leave. Now this restaurant gives customers complimentary lollipops with their meals.

The lady behind me says "They forgot our suckers, kids, go tell the waiter to give it to us." The kids were at least 13-15 years old at best. The kids hightail it to the waiter and one of the kids says "We need our suckers, where are they?"

The waiter apologized and said that they had run out a little while earlier. Kids report back to the mom who goes ballistic. She storms up to the waiter and this conversation ensues.

SC: I can't believe that you are out of suckers
W: We ran out a little while ago.
SC: I saw other kids with suckers.
W: Yes, they got them before we ran out.
SC: And there was no one to run to the store and pick up more?
W: We are pretty busy tonight, we can't spare anyone to go.
SC: So you're gonna deprive my kids of their suckers?
W: I'm sorry, ma'am, we are out.

She, of course, demands the owner's name and when he would be in. She then stormed out with her obviously mortified kids in tow.

The kicker is these were not expensive suckers either. They cost 10 cents at best.

This is typical SC behavior. They make a huge fuss over something that is free. If they want suckers that bad, let 'em go buy their own.

I sure hope it skips a generation...or 12.

I wish managers had the ability to say what they were thinking.

"Oh, your kids want suckers, huh? Why don't you go to the store and BUY SOME THEN. They're 10 cents a piece, you cheapskate."

Or my personal favorite, "I'd say your family has enough suckers as it is, Ma'am."

The first thing I thought was if life were fair, you would have the means and the blessing to dump a jar of ticks over her head. Yeah, I got your suckers right here. Happy freakin' Lyme.

I'd comment, but I would get modded for Failing to See the Sucker.

Typical bottom-feeder... they just wanted to carp about something.

Argh, the puns... am I in Xanth?

Anyways, if she was that bothered; she could always volunteer to go fetch the sweets herself.

That would be nice. Then you could give them rootbeer boot rear flavored suckers.


Cos I'm sure a nice swift kick in the ass is just what that woman needs.

Funny you should mention Xanth. I'm in the middle of rereading the books.

For some reason I read that as "boob rear" I dunno why.

Maybe cause I'm trying to sand down my nerf gun in between looking at this.

[ThirdGenRetail]

Thank you, fireheart, I almost choked on a french fry and soda...

I think it's safe to assume this will skip a generation, given her kids were MORTIFIED at her behavior.

we need a "that's what she said" emoticon here.

Wait, THAT's the part you were ing at?

How in the world does "sand down my nerf gun" REMOTELY resemble SEX?!

[HappyFun Ball]

Ugh, bottom feeders, growing up my family and I would go to this cheap steak place and people would pitch fits over those pastel butter mints.
