You Want What-Now? (Language)

[Aldous]

Probably the weirdest and one of the suckiest people I've ever dealt with. A kid about 12 comes up and orders his meal. Easy right? You'd think so. He comes stomping back up with a distorted look on his face. I really think that I can handle a simple order, but apparently I need to take more mind-reading lessons.

Me: Ready to lunge
FN: Fuck-Nut

Me: What seems to be the problem?
FN: YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM IS!!!!
Me: I assure you, I have no idea.
FN: I DON'T WANT THE FUCKING CHEESE MELTED YOU FUCK-UP!!!
Me: (He's 12 and he sounds like my father) Okay, one second. *Tells cook to make a new one without the cheese melted* Here you are.
FN: Burn in hell.

Well then, I can say that I was a little shocked, my manager was speechless, and the cooks were laughing their asses off. God bless those cooks for making everything a little funnier, since they made fun of the kid for the rest of the night. I wish I could tell you that the story was over, but no, it's not. HE COMES BACK!!!!!

Me: Oh god, what now?
Mgr: I'll be in the back.
Me: Thanks.
FN: YOUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!
Me: *Trying not to laugh at that* What seems to be the problem?
FN: I WANT MY PICKLES MICROWAVED!!!!!!

From that day forward, for fun we used to put pickles in the microwave. I can't say I was offended by what he was yelling, just shocked. I hate to see what his parents do to the poor people at the grocery store.

Wow, you actually served the wannabee punk? I would have told him to get the hell out of the store. Of course he'd run home crying and mom would come up pissed that you yelled at her perfect little angel.

[Bright_Star]

I would have told him to get the hell out. I MAY tolerate that kind of abuse from grown people on occasion BUT I WON'T ever take that crap from some stupid kid. They can call me a mean bitch but I don't care...LOL.

Hell, I love being called a bitch. Then I know that I'm not allowing some jerk to get their way

[Aldous]

My manager didn't let me refuse service, only she was allowed to. So I had to sit there with a stupid smile, and take that shit. Yeah, bad customer, worse manager.

[Kogarashi]

Oh, good heavens. If that were my kid, they'd probably get their mouth slapped, and then taken home with no fast food (I'll eat it for them, and they can have a boring old sandwich).

Of course, if it had been my kid, they wouldn't have done that in the first place.

What twelve-year-old thinks it's okay to treat store employees like that? ::boggle::

FN: I WANT MY PICKLES MICROWAVED!!!!!!

Well now, the little "darling" never said how long his precious pickles should be in the microwave, did he? I think you should've nuked them for about 5 minutes, minimum.
It would be worth it to see his expression when you handed him some crispy mummified pickle bits.





Now I'm wondering what a pickle would look like if microwaved for 5 minutes...(shifty eyes, looking at microwave in kitchen) Nah, I'd probably burn up my microwave and need to go get a new one - no thanks.

[MrSunshineState]

What twelve-year-old thinks it's okay to treat store employees like that? ::boggle::

The child of SCs. His parents prolly taught him how to complain to get free stuff.

[Sunsetsky]

The little shit would've had his unmelted cheese shoved down his throat and his pickles shoved somewhere in the opposite end. Or I would've just overheated everything and watch him burn his mouth. Whoops...

I won't tolerate kids speaking to me like that....even if I am on the job.

The second he said this to me, I'd throw him out of the store. I don't take that kind of talk from adults, let alone some snot-nosed brat. He can come back when he learns to treat his fellow human beings with courtesy and decency.

[Max]

So Aldous, at what point does your manager allow you to deny service?? As you are getting stabbed to death? I know customer service people are supposed to take abuse, but how does it even make business sense to serve such people, nevermind sane HR policy? Surely they are terrifying other customers; what happens when some poor innocent accidentally bumps into Deranged Psycho? Why would you want such loose cannons in your store?! (I hate having to use this reasoning, though. Why isn't the safety and mental health of employees enough of a reason? )

[NightWolf]

Boy, that kid has a lot to learn.....

Don't you know you're not supposed to piss off the people who have anything to do with your food at all? I mean....how easy is it to mess with his food for payback? Of course, that was probably what the kid AND the parents were hoping for. sigh.....stupid people piss me off.

If he doesn't know about cooks and waitstaff messing with food....I'd have told the little monster to rent the movie "Waiting"

That bitchy woman that chewed out Amy in that scene is prolly the kid's mom

[dalejrfan71]

You should have put horseradish sauce on his burger & told him it's mayo. Can you imagine the look on his face when he bit into the burger with horseradish sauce

[Boozy]

I see a lot of people are angry with this kid, but I think the OP had the right idea with just laughing at him. He's 12 and is trying to bully an adult. It doesn't make him look big and tough, it just makes him look like he's throwing a tantrum. It IS hilarious.

I can tell you one thing - messing with his food wouldn't teach him anything, and besides, its immature and possibly illegal.
