Pathetic Complaints

[customersruinmylife]

Argh! The pub wasn't even busy, and yet every. single. person who ordered food seemed to complain, and most of them were mind numbing and stupid, and for some reason, all came from women.

Another Pasta Bitch

Does our pasta bake bring out the stupid in people? (see one of my previous threads) This bitch ordered our pasta bake, and brought the dish back up to the bar. I hate it when someone brings their food up to the bar to complain about it! Go annoy one of the floor staff! I am serving people who have been waiting a while, and all I get is her glaring at me. I finally get to her.

Me: Can I help?
SC: Yes...this pasta is too hard for me! I think it is undercooked! Can I have a new one?
Me: Sure, I'll get someone to bring it over.

The cook tried a bit and said it was not hard in the slightest. None the less, he sent a new one out. A few minutes later, the SC was at the bar again.

SC: This pasta bake is too cold! Can I get a new on that is hot?
Me: *sighs slightly* OK...

Cook is going nuts. It is not cold. He shoves it in the microwave and sends it back out. Oh wait, the SC is at the bar again!

SC: Now it's too hot!
Me:

I refused to take it back. I gave her money back.

Get away from the bar!!

About 20 minutes later, a different lady is stood at the bar. She also has a plate of food with her.

SC: This food is cold.
Me: Well...of course it is, I took it out to you nearly 40 minutes ago.
SC: Can I get a fresh meal? I got into a deep conversation with my friend and it went cold.
Me: I'll reheat it for you, but you cannot get a fresh meal.
SC: You're not microwaving my meal! Forget it!

She walked off.

Isn't it free??

A lady appears at the end of the bar clutching her receipt.

SC: Excuse me, I believe I have been overcharged!

I look at her receipt and read through it. Nope, she hasn't been overcharged. She points.

SC: Look! I have been charged for nachos!
Me: Yes...
SC: I thought the nachos were free!

I get a copy of the menu out.

Me: Nope, they're not free. See there...nachos...£x.xx.
SC: I thought they were free!
Me: Why on earth would they be free?
SC: Well, I thought they were. I don't want them if they are not!

The kitchen hadn't started making them yet, so I managed to cancel them.

Mayo = Salad

Lady ordered our chicken sandwich. Chicken sandwich comes with salad and mayo.

SC: And no salad on the chicken sandwich!
Me: OK sure.

I tell the kitchen. About ten minutes later...wait! There she is! At the end of the bar with her plate!

SC: I said no salad!
Me: There is no salad in it.
SC: Then what is this!?
Me: Mayo.
SC: I said no salad!
Me: The last time I checked, mayo wasn't salad.
SC: What am I supposed to doooooo???
Me: *losing patience* Scrape it off with a knife?

She looked shocked, but she went back to her table and did exactly that.

Steak = Chicken

I am covering a co-workers break, and am taking some meals out. One is a chicken meal, the other is a steak. I take it out to a lady who is sat with her husband.

Me: Hi there, I've got the steak?
SC: Mine.

I place it in front of her. She looks shocked.

SC: This isn't chicken!
Me: No, it's steak...like I said.
SC: My husband ordered steak, not me! I ordered chicken!
Me: This chicken meal I've got right here?
SC: Yes! Swap them over!

She looked at me like I was an absolute idiot. Bitch.

Ah well, only 2 shifts to go!!

This is what I call the Event Horizon. I tried explaining this to my coworkers once.

The day or week right before vacation or any lengthy period of time away from work, however you come by it, is always the longest most intense moment of your life. It's the very natural forces which are trying their best to crush you before you reach your destination.

Free nachos? I'll be there!!!

Me:

What do you want to bet that when she got home she cried "Someone's been sleeping in my bed!"

[Gerrinson]

Ah well, only 2 shifts to go!!

Good for you!

Sad for us who get so much enjoyment out of your suffering, though.

Honestly, I've always found that I'm not bothered by the suck of my last few days on a job. Mostly because I don't care what happens so long as I'm not screwing over the employees that are staying on.

Just focus on the light at the end of the tunnel, which is probably nice and bright right now, and the rest of it just doesn't matter.

Oh, hey, any chance you could get one of your CWs to start posting so we can still get the awesome stories?

[telecom_goddess]

Wow someone got lost in conversation, let food sit for 40 minutes, and then bitched cause it was cold? Should of got in there and eaten it sooner, stupid

[customersruinmylife]

What do you want to bet that when she got home she cried "Someone's been sleeping in my bed!"

That's exactly what a co-worker said to me after she left!

[depechemodefan]

My head went "boom" at each story. Mayo=salad? food got cold because she didn't eat it when it was served? said the steak was hers, but she wanted chicken?

*boom* *Boom* *BOOM*!!!!

[bainsidhe]

See and I'm thinking, if the food was too hot....then wait a minute? Perhaps do that little thing mummies teach their wee ones: blow on the bitefull before you eat it.

[EricKei]

Soo...the woman who ordered the chicken figured you'd know that "steak" really means "chicken" in her case...or...?

This is what I call the Event Horizon.

*types "event horizon" into Scribblenauts*

*falls on ass laughing*

For the record, "black hole" and "singularity" will generate the same result. Type in "large hadron collider" to get a *machine* capable of generating this effect.

I'm gonna start just typing in random words from this board into that game. Chances are, the clever bastids really do have them in there.

Free nachos? I'll be there!!!

Count me in!

conversely, if there is something that you aren't ready for and you are looking forward to having work to put it off, the shifts will go by incredibly fast. What's really interesting though is when you have both working at the same time (there is something you look forward to that will get you away from work but you aren't ready for)...

Whatever happens, I don't think that she's been smoking porridge...

[drunkenwildmage]

My head went "boom" at each story. Mayo=salad?

Actually it makes sense in my mind.... Now follow me on this

I've seen Generic Versions of 'Miracle whip" called 'Salad Dressing'
In some peoples minds, Miracle Whip = Mayo
thus... 'Salad (Dressing') aka generic Miracle Whip. = Mayo.


Now for the record..Personal, I don't like Miracle whip....Can't stand the crap..I want real Mayo,I hate it when people call Miracle Whip 'Mayo', and tried to pass it off.

Kinda along the lines of call "Sunny D" Orange Juice..

[EricKei]

dwm -- I think the MiracleWhip people agree with you. Unless I'm mistaken, the jar actually does says "salad dressing" on it, NOT "mayonnaise"
