Sorry for the lack of posts guys. I do have a lot of SC tales, but I'm just finding it difficult to get the time to sit down and type them! Here's a quick one.
I am working on the bar and it is quite boring. I am also tired. While I have no customers, I decide to go and make myself a coffee. I pour it out into a mug and I pull out three packets of sugar to stir in. A little old lady walks past the bar, and seems to be utterly fascinated by this.
SC: Three packets of sugar? Are you sure that's wise?!
Me: I know it seems a lot, but the sugar packets are really quite small. I don't even think there are two spoonfuls here.
SC: Don't you think that's a bit greedy? You should be saving those for the PAYING customers!
Me: It's OK. We've got tonnes of packets out the back.
SC: Well I think you're disgusting. I want to talk to someone about this.
I stared at her. I was trying to work out if she was being sarcastic or not.
Me: Are you serious?
SC: YES!
Oh well. My roommate was the manager of the day, and he hates petty complaints. I fear I've created a monster in him, because he treats SC's just as badly as I did when I was a manager. He went out and spoke to her.
SC: That sugar is for PAYING customers. He has not PAID!
R: The staff are allowed to have coffee on the house on shift. It's fine.
SC: He took THREE sugar packets! It's complete and utter greed!
R: What do you expect me to do?
SC: Make him pay! If I have to pay, so does he!
R: OK, I've got a feeling you're a really bored person who is looking to get someone in trouble, so I'm not having it. The staff are allowed free coffee, soft drinks and food. It's called employee discount.
SC: Well it shouldn't apply to condiments!
She went away. I also noticed that she ordered food and had helped herself to about 15 packets of salt. Seriously, if she had added all that salt to her food, she would have died.
