    Did you feel tough making a little girl cry?

    A new girl started at the bar. She has literally just turned 18, so she has never had the "pleasure" of dealing with rude drunken SC's. Poor thing. No one witnessed what transpired, otherwise someone would have jumped in.

    CW: Poor co-worker
    SC: Big tough guy
    DM: Door man
    Me: Me

    SC ordered two bottles of beer. CW served him.

    SC: What the fuck is this? You stupid fucking bitch! These are warm!!
    CW: Oh...I'm sorry...I'll get some from the back.
    SC: I paid six fucking pound and you gave me warm beer! Are you completely fucking stupid?!?!

    CW walked off the bar in tears. SC tutted and walked off. I spotted CW crying. I asked her what happened and she explained.

    CW: I just can't believe someone could be that horrible over a beer. I don't understand it. Why did he say those horrible things to me?
    Me: Who was it?
    CW: I don't want to tell. I just want to forget about it.
    Me: Are you sure? I'll throw him out if you want.
    CW: No. I want to forget about it.

    Doorman walked over. I love doormen now.

    DM: Who made you cry??!!
    CW: No, just leave it.
    DM: No! Who made you cry?
    CW: It was him...

    She points to SC.

    Doorman walks over, claps SC on the shoulder, and forces him out the door! SC shouted back.

    SC: If you can't handle people being fucking horrible to you then you shouldn't have a job!!

    I sent CW on a break.

    What disturbed me the most about this story was my reaction. I am so used to people being horrible and swearing, and there was an innocent girl who had never encountered that before. I was that innocent when I first started working in bars four years ago. Now I am at a point where nothing surprises me anymore with SC's, and automatically seem to expect the worst out of people.

    Yep, that's what comes after working with the general public for so long. And worse, in your case, I think, working with the drunken general public.

    I remember being that innocent when I started my first job a convenience store about 8 years ago...

    Now I'm an embittered, sarcastic bitch, who assumes everyone is out to scam me and be an EW because it's their right.

    Ain't life grand...?

        Hey! Ramsay is only vicious to people that richly deserve it. Ramsay <3

        But yes, I'm at that point now too. When on shift I expect the worst from every single caller. =/ When I get a caller that's genuinely nice ( and not nice because they want something ) it throws me off guard. Its sort of like "Wow, what? They still make these?"

          What gets me about that story is the SC thinks it's actually ok to speak to someone like that! Whether or not you're used to it, he deserved to be thrown out!

            This SC didn't need a DM... or a bouncer...
            They needed a genuine Ankh-Morpork splatter.

              Nice that this guy thinks it's perfectly normal to go around "being horrible" to other people...

                  Lager - fridge temperature, 2-4C

                  Ale - Cellar temperature, 12-14C

                  Serving ale too cold means you lose a lot of the flavour, the aromatics aren't when they're cold.

                  Not sure what sort of pub customersruinmylife works in but in many places that attitude would have the regulars bouncing the SC out the door

                    I think businesses such as that need a rule "if you make an employee cry, we'll make you cry" and have a psycho-looking knife crazed serial killer looking person working behind a desk as the "make you cry" appointed person if anyone asks.

                        I cried at my first job, when the lady threw the flowers at me. I just keep bringing this story up.

                        I feel so bad for the girl. No one has to right to treat someone like that. I'm so very happy that he got tossed. hehehe tosser

                          If I had anything to say about it, that comment would have earned the bastard a permanent ban from the place.

                            If you can't order a beer nicely, then you shouldn't be drinking here. Out.

                            I can remember being as innocent as that girl. A quick stint dealing with customers really opens your eyes though, and now I'm as bitter as the rest. Can even remember the breaking point.
