Recently I was working the front counter at Mickey D's, and the following SC interaction occured.
OSC: Old sucky customer (natch)
Me: Who do you think??
OSC: Hi, I'd like a double cheeseburger...
Me: I'm sorry, sir, we're still serving breakfast.
OSC: You don't have any burgers yet?!
Me. No, I'm sorry. (Beat). Would you like anything else? (Stupid question, but what can you do?)
OSC: I'm having dialysis done today! I need a burger! Can't you guys just make one??
Me: (thinking, "Uh, ooookaaay") No, I'm sorry, sir (have I mentioned I'm a compulsive apologizer?).
OSC: I'm going over to Hardee's, maybe they'll be serving lunch!
Not two minutes later, OSC tries to pull THE EXACT SAME STUNT on another cashier!! He finally left for good, and I asked a nearby co-worker if I was rude, and she said no, that the guy was just clueless. It's a shame that the guy was going to the doctor, but that's really not our problem. Furthermore, I think he should fucking ashamed of himself for trying to use his misfortune to guilt us into giving him special treatment instead of handling his problem with a stiff upper lip! For fuck's sake, there are people who have it 50 times worse who don't go around whining and expecting the world to shower them with favors!! I don't know, maybe I'm just a horrible person...
