You Want What-Now? (Language)

[Rapscallion]

Usual rules, we don't condone food tampering on this board.

We do, however, condone refusal of service, as well as the public humiliation of taking the food back, giving them a refund, and showing them where the door is until they can clean up their act.

Without being shown boundaries, that sort of language and behaviour is not going to be checked.

Also laughing at a twelve year old is about the worst thing you can do. This kid would get a rush from any sign of anger but if you make him feel ridiculous he'll feel it more keenly than any physical pain he's ever felt.

[Becks]

Don't you know you're not supposed to piss off the people who have anything to do with your food at all?

He probably takes too much time savoring his "victory" of having "fuckups" remake his food to realize that rule.

[Shengirl]

You should have made your manager deal with him. You're not allowed to refuse service, but he's the one who gets paid to deal with the real pains in the ass.

Or you should have told him, "Cute, but why don't you come back and try it again after your voice changes?" He probably would have turned an amusing shade of red.

I'd have simply told him that he can ask nicely, or he can forget about having the order fixed by me. He needs to grow up and show some maturity, or he can take his business elsewhere. I've dealt with plenty of overgrown children in adult bodies, so I don't think it'd be too difficult to serve his ego back to him on a platter. Time for a taste of reality, little boy.

Can't refuse service???

Crap!! Over in this part of the world, we get told that if we get customers like that (atm I'm in a call centre, same applies) - we terminate the call, or tell them to leave!

We are actually not allowed to cop abuse from customers!!

And a kid doing it? Get the F out..!

[earl colby pottinger]

I don't care

So Aldous, at what point does your manager allow you to deny service?? As you are getting stabbed to death?)

My manager is a wimp too, but if that happened to me he would find out he is JUST a manager. I would never take that from a puke. The food goes down his pants, the drink over his head and then he get tossed out the door.

What is the worse the manager can do? Fire me? From a $8 per hour job! There are lots of those around. And if this kid took me to court he sound like once you push his buttons the judge will quick rule against him.

[Aldous]

About the third day my manager told me that I had to serve everyone one no matter what, and she would tell the person that they had to leave. I would have loved to make her deal with this kid, except I would have to go find her, and interrupt her cigarrette break (She takes one every 15 minutes). And I'm not allowed to interrupt her cigarrette break because she needs those to keep her "sane." I was quite funny watching this kid, who probably hasn't even touched puberty, trying to act like a grizzly old veteran. I just wished his voice cracked during the abuse, then I would have laughed in his face. Also I got this kid when I still cared about my job, and as trying to help my mom with the bills and food, quite unlike the end of my tenure when I stopped caring when she was around. It was funny when I started taking "cigarrette breaks" during the busy hours, and come out of the freezer asking her "How she liked it?" I couldn't get fired because the District Manager loved me, and he hates High School kids, and would fire them over stupid shit.

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.

Well, hell, now you've got me wondering, too. And, dammit, I don't have any pickles to try it with!

[JenCdn]

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.

I agree...he would've gotten as far as the first 3 letters in FUC....and my boot would've been kicking his ass out of the store.
Minus pickles, unmelted cheese and a refund.

Have a good night! Come again!



And the manager? "I'll be in the back"?? Uh-uh, don't think so. I need your help with this unsatisfied customer.
Unbelievable.

[aurelemsrealm]

As I said, I've told grown adults who thought they were a lot more intimidating to leave the premises over such abusive behavior. In fact, I gave them the choice to leave on their own, or leave when the cops came to drag them off. I don't get scared, I just get pissed off. I try not to get mad, though, because it's more fun to get even without stooping to their level.

[Ygramul]

I would have just laughed, too. Laughing at belligerency in its face is the best deterrent. The Snot would have gotten even angrier, but only for a second. Then he would turn back into the Insecure Little Adolescent he really is. Then, he probably would be too embarrassed that he got laughed at to even tell his parents about his Weeny Lil' Humiliation.

[Andara Bledin]

*snicker*

Can you imagine how he would have reacted had you beamed at him in a parental sort of way and gone, "Now aren't you just precious" in a really patronizing tone.

^-.-^

[chainedbarista]

that little shit needs some wall to wall counseling; there is no excuse for that kind of behavior in a person of any age, but coming from a child makes it all the more inexcusable.

fortunately, my son wouldn't do that, he knows what would wait for him, and he fears that more than anything (not abuse, just having to apologize for his behavior does it for him), being reminded PUBLICLY that he's being a total ass makes him think three or four times before he speaks.

gah, what parents DON'T teach their kids these days.
