Ordering me around does nothing for you

[ladydrow]

This happened two nights ago. I've been lucky in that I've haven't had any in a while.

I was closing my store down, so I had my pre-closer and my closer with me. I was going around cleaning the store for closing as that's what I like to do and it makes sure that things get done. I'm the order specialist as well.

We have this *chocolate banana drinky thing*, and I have been ordering Bananas but for whatever reason *the food people* will not send them. So whatever most people will gladly take it with out the banana. Except this asshole.

PC: Pre-closer, adorable timid girl
CL: Closer
M: Me
SC: dick

I'm over by my *drink making machine* cleaning the area and making sure the liquids and everything is done and stocked for the next day, and also to help out with CL if she needs help.

SC: *chocolate banana drinky thing*.
PR: I'm sorry but we're out of bananas, can I get you something else?
SC: This is the third time this week this has happened. There are three of you, and one of you can get your ass over next door and get some damn bananas. Stop wasting my time.
PR comes over to me and asks me to get bananas. And I, having heard it all, is extremely pissed. I've had a shitty three weeks and I don't want to deal with assholes.
M: while looking at him and quite clearly not happy He can wait till I'm done.
SC: You will do it now!
M: I can't leave the floor, so your going to wait till I'm done what I'm doing. If you have a problem with it, I'll refund your money and you can go else where. All of *stores* are out because the orders are not bring bananas. Deal with it.
SC grumbles and waits

I go into the back because I'm angry and if I stay out there I'll tell him off, so I go listen to music for a while to make sure I calm down before I go get him his damn bananas. I make him wait 15 minutes before I do anything. He didn't say anything and my girls did not talk to him. One of them was tempted to throw the drink at him, but didn't want to re-make the drink.
On the plus side I got the greenest bananas there was, but all of them were green anyways, so it didn't matter much. The drink was going to be sour regardless. Which was a plus.

My two girls that were working with me tell me that I did the right thing in not talking to him otherwise. But after the three weeks I had of dealing with personal things, moving, dealing with a shitty school and exams, I just snapped. I normally don't let them get to me, but I hate it when people talk to my employees like their not human. I told the Ass Man, that this guy had better get a talking to, or I would. I don't care if he goes to Head office, he does not talk to my employees like that and he better come back with an apology or else he's not getting served. The Ass. Man was actually worried because I have never been this angry at work before. So hopefully something happens, either by me, or by my boss.

hell i'm surprised he didn't get the banana shoved up his ... nose... (ahem)

like when i was going to tim hortons wanting some tasty pumpkin spice in the coffee...and they were out constantly. my reaction: "aw..." then I'd order something else.

but yelling at someone who's going to handle my food? .. um no.

Well, if you haven't been gettin' any, that can definitely put you on edge.

And here I thought we could Bippity boppity boo the bananas!

[PepperElf]

yep. along with the beamed tow trucks

Don't leave us in suspense! I want to know if he puked his guts out from eating a green banana!

Meh - when I was in the fruit and veg game, I had people coming in and telling me that a pure green banana just wouldn't last until the next day. They reckoned it would be too ripe then.

I once asked someone if they ever had indigestion. They admitted it was, so I pointed out that underripe bananas were often a cause of this. Apparently I immediately grew three more heads and a small unicycle, based on the looks they gave me.

Goodness me, who has the energy to get so worked up about a banana drink thing? I just do not understand. If I go to Starbucks and they don't have say, gingerbread syrup, I just get over myself and order something else without making a fuss.

It's like passengers who are almost crying as we don't have any apple juice or diet coke left. Just drink something else. Geez.

[ladydrow]

Normally people just get over it and order something else. Apparently he came in the next morning and ordered another one. He gets like two a day or something stupid like that.
He didn't make a complaint, but I'm making sure that he acts accordingly or else he wont be getting his drinky ever again.

My friend, the Spanish Professor, tells me that many folks in South American countries think we're nuts for eating yellow bananas--because they're not any good until they go black.

I'll give them this: Banana bread and banana pudding do have a stronger flavor if you let the bananas ripen until they have lots of dark spots.

Said people are right. They do taste far better when properly ripe.

But people never listen when you tell them this. The drinks taste so good when the bananas are covered in spots.

[Munkie]

i dunno.... i like bananas that are mostly yellow, but have a faint rim of green along the ridges. I just like the taste of them at that point, because a yellow banana thats got brown on it is just waaaaay too sweet for me. However, I can make a fricking WICKED banana bread.

I love bananas. I am also allergic to bananas. However, if I eat them while they're still yellow, my reaction is much less. So I eat my bananas yellow.
