I work part time at a kiosk that sells fresh, handmade pretzels and delicious beverages. Today I had a very odd day there.
The set up to the first story is like this: A customer walks up and orders a pretzel and is talking to her friend. I prepare her pretzel and hand it to her and tell her that her total is X amount of dollars. Her friend tells me that she wants a pretzel too, so I ask if it's together or seperate. They both say seperate at the same time, so I go on ahead and cash out the first girl. The second girl orders a pretzel and a delicious beverage and pays for it and my coworker hands her the drink. A normal transaction right? Well, about thirty minutes late the second girl comes back. And that is when it gets sucky.
Me: Me of course!
SC: Sucky customer
CW: Coworker
SC: You filled my soda too full! I spilled it all over my brand new shirt that I jsut bought from Wet Seal! How dare you!
Me: I'm sorry. I'm not sure what you want me to do though... I didn't pour your drink, but I can mention it to my coworker.
SC: That's unacceptable! You RUINED my brand new shirt! What are you going to do about it? Are you going to pay for it?
Me: (I've been told that at this point I had a surprised expression on my face) No, can't you wash it? That would be what I would do.
SC: No! I want you to pay for my shirt. I spilled soda on it and it's all your fault! Now cough up the money!
Me: No.
SC: Well then next time don't fill the cup so full or I'll sue until you pay for my shirt that gets ruined! (Then she walks away talking very loudly) Don't look at me like I'm stupid. Idiot!
CW: I didn't fill her cup all the way because she was like that last time too.
Not only did this happen, but then the electricity went out for several hours and we couldn't make or sell anything since everything runs on electricity in the store. I lost count after the 40th customer walked up and asked if they could still buy a pretzel and why all the lights were out.
