I'm being a smart ass because this "dumbass" can't remember what he ordered?!

[BowserKoopa1]

How many of you have had customers who order food, and then when you bring it out to them, they question the total and say something like, "Is that what I ordered?" That's what happened to me last night.
SC: Yeah, I would like 2 small popcorns and a small drink.
I go and make the 2 small popcorns and small drink. After giving it to him, I give him his total.
Me: Your total is $xx.xx, sir.
SC: That much? For 1 small popcorn and a drink?
Me: You had 2 small popcorns.
SC: I thought I only had 1.
Me: No sir, it was 2.
SC: Are you sure?
Me: Yeah, pretty sure.
SC: You don't have to be a smartass about it.
Me: Sorry about that, sir. I wasn't trying to do that. Enjoy your show and have a great day.
Me (what I really wanted to say): I'm not being a smartass you idiot! I am merely confirming what you just ordered!
I'm pretty sure my tone of voice was correct. Maybe he just felt stupid after I told him he had 2 small popcorns and not 1, and he needed someone to take his frustration out on. On top of that, this guy looked like he was in his late teens or early 20s, and a lot of people I deal with in this age group sometimes like to act this way. What really irked me was the fact that I had to apologize to this idiot to calm things down so he wouldn't go and complain. Then I told 2 different managers what had happened just to cover my own hide.
For all you customers out there, don't call us names when we tell you what your total is, just because your tiny little brain has a bad memory and you can't remember what you ordered less than 1 minute ago. Heck, a fly probably has a longer memory than that!

Better a smart ass than a dumb shit.

[dalesys]

Aren't dumb shits what smart asses walk away from?

[Kristev]

No. They get stuck on your shoe. They're less likely to go away than the poltergiests.

Me: You had 2 small popcorns.
SC: I thought I only had 1.
Me: No sir, it was 2.
SC: Are you sure?
Me: Yeah, pretty sure.
SC: You don't have to be a smartass about it.

If you don't want people being a smartass to you, stop being a dumbass to other people!

Seriously, it just amazes me how many people bumble through life, not paying attention to what the hell they're doing, and are surprised at how badly they end up. DUH! Think before you act, pay attention and remember what you're doing, you'll find yourself succeeding more often.

Hey now, I generally don't remember what I ordered a minute ago either. But I'm not a dummy about it, I just go with it unless there is something that I definitely would not order. If someone tried telling me I ordered 16 chocolate donuts with white frosting, I wouldn't even blink. They try giving me a cinnamon bun, yeah I'm gonna flip out on them, but it's because there is NO way I would order that.

That said, the dude was a dumb, and you are a smart. He should actually try once, maybe he'll figure out this whole "thinking" thing.

In other words... better to be a smartass than a dumbass.

What scares me, is that we have to coin a new word to describe this sort of interaction. That's not being a smartass, that's being a normalass. They just look a lot alike to a dumbass.

I thought Shawshank Redemption.

Heywood: The Count of Monte Crisco...
Floyd: That's "Cristo" you dumb shit.
Heywood: ...by Alexandree Dumb-ass. Dumb-ass.
Andy Dufresne: Dumb-ass? "Dumas". You know what it's about? You'll like it, it's about a prison break.
Red: We oughta file that under "Educational" too, oughten we?

[emax4]

That guy makes no sense. If he's that sensitive in public, he shouldn't be out in public at all. He was probably just trying to save face.

I've made a similar mistake at a restaurant when my food came. i thought I ordered one thing but got something else. At first I was dumbfounded, but then realized my mistake. Anytime that's happened I've always apologized to the waiter/waitress and said I was losing my mind :P

Well, my Mom didn't raise any dumb shits, that's for sure. So she's stuck with two smart asses.
