I haven't encountered a sucky customer in a couple of weeks. I don't like it. It means they are going to return to my life soon with a vengeance. All I have is a story a friend of mine told me. He works at the famous chicken restaurant.
We had a very nice weekend in my area of the UK. I was very grateful not to be working, as I knew the weather would drive all the public out for the day. My friend wasn't so lucky. He got absolutely swamped with a line all the way to the door. People were waiting around half an hour in line, simply because chicken isn't exactly something you can rush. It takes a while to cook.
A lady gets to the front of the line.
SC: I would like fish and chips please.
F: I'm sorry, but we don't have any fish and chips.
SC: You mean to tell me that I have waited in line for nearly half an hour and you don't have any left???
F: It's not that we don't have any left, it's that we don't have it on our menu.
SC: This is a seaside town! It would be insane not to stock fish! That's just a form of business suicide!
The line out to the door should have been an indication that they weren't really in any danger of going out of business.
F: Ma'am, this is Kentucky Fried Chicken, we don't stock fish.
SC: Then what do you sell??
F: Chicken.
SC: Well d'uh! I thought you would have at least have some sort of alternative for people who don't like chicken!
F: Well we don't have fish.
SC: When will you be getting it in stock?
F: Never.
SC: You know what, I am never eating here again! And I'm going to tell everyone I know to do the same!
She stormed out. The whole line was lauging at her.

You gain nothing and lose any respect you might have had when you choose to be stupid.
