  • The Last Straw

    OK, the title is a little misleading

    It is Saturday afternoon, and it is quite busy. There is just me and one co-worker serving on the bar. I was serving a very snobby, irritating lady a double vodka and lemonade.

    Me: There you go, that will be £x.xx please.
    SC: *basically throws the money at me* And a short straw please.
    Me: All our straws are just in that holder there.
    SC: Yes, but I can't possibly use one of those straws! They are too big! Get me a short straw!
    Me: Those are all the straws we have. Sorry.
    SC: Well...cut one in half for me!
    Me: I don't have any scissors behind the bar. They were in the office, and I wasn't running to get them for this bitch
    SC: Use a knife!
    Me: I don't have a knife.
    SC: Liar! Then explain to me how you cut the fruit you put in your drinks!
    Me: They are cut in the kitchen...where the knives and choppiing boards live.
    SC: Then I guess you are just going to have to walk to the kitchen and cut a straw in half for me!
    Me: No! In case you haven't noticed, you are not the only customer at this bar, I have people who have been waiting because of you.
    SC: Well I never! Am I being unreasonable here? What is so unreasonable about wanting a straw so I can enjoy my drink?!?
    Me: I'll bite it in half for you if you want.
    SC: What?!?
    Me: If you want a short straw so bad, cut it in half yourself. I don't care how.
    SC: *turns to walk away* You need to calm down!
    Me: And you need to grow up!
    SC:

    It's getting ridiculous at work now. I am dealing with ALL the complaints, mainly because my co-workers know I am leaving and am therefore "untouchable" and can say what I want.

    Gotta admit, it feels good though

      Don't be, Becks. I was just thinking the same thing (and actually listening to it right now, which makes it funnier)

        If I were you I would be insisting on handling all the problem customers.
        If you don't like my attitude, talk to the manager!!! Oh, wait, that would be me!!

        Yes, I'm the manager. I'm also known as "the brick wall".

              As the woman ranted on and demanded you magically part the straw, I thought "Maybe she should chew it in half"

              And lo, you delivered with a similar comment.

                SC: Use a knife!
                "I'm sorry ma'am, in the interest of customer safety, the Pub doesn't allow me to have a knife."


                SC: Well I never! Am I being unreasonable here?
                "Yes, yes you are..."


                (BTW, CRML, I'm just lovin' these stories of how snarky you can finally be! )

                    I'm sure there will be a lot more to come. I've got 2 weeks left until I leave, and believe me, I intend to use them wisely!

                        makes me wish I could take a two week vacation to fly over to the UK just to sit in your bar and watch the pwnage of the SCs

                          this is so cool CRML - it has to be an awesomely liberating feeling to be able to give these idiots the proverbial bitch slap they so richly deserve

                              So the question begs: If your boss approached you and asked you to stay on working, and gave you a signed agreement that you could be as snarky as you like, would you stay?
