I can be passive-aggressive too, you know!

The cast:

Me: Long suffering barman
CW: Co-worker
MC: Man Child

A meal was ready to take out. It was a kids meal. It also didn't have a number attached, so I had to find CW to find out where it was going.

Me: Hey, where is this kids meal going?
CW: Oh, they're sat outside.
Me: OK, but in future don't put kids meals through on their own. The parents have to eating as well, not just the kid.
CW: OK, sorry.

I head outside. I see a child sat down at the table with its parents.

Me: Hi, is this your kids meal?
Parent: No, we haven't ordered any food...

Man Child was sat at another table.

MC: OI! THAT'S MY FOOD!
Me: This is yours?
MC: GIVE ME MY FOOD!

He slammed his receipt in my hand.

Me: You ordered a kids meal for yourself?
MC: BRING MY FOOD TO ME!

I slammed his food down on the table.

MC: THERE! THAT WASN'T DIFFICULT WAS IT?!?!?
Me: No, I guess it wasn't. I guess it was wrong of me to assume that this CHILD'S MEAL was for, what appears to be, a grown man, and not for a child.

I walked away. Man Child suddenly went quiet and muttered "Cheeky little fuck" under his breath. I went back inside and told the staff not to serve him anymore on the grounds that he was a twat.

He left after eating his "meal"

My college guides are in the mail. I want them now!!!!

lol adults ordering from the kid menu, one of my pet peeves too grr
he didn't have to be so rude about it though

Sometimes we have small appetites or collect toys (I collect the Hello Kitty toys, myself).

But still, he didn't need to be such an arse. Sheesh, how were you supposed to know the child's meal was for a jackass?

Sometimes we have small appetites

Yeah, that's me. I usually order kid's or just an appetizer. But I won't yell at you when you bring it out.
