    But surely a pretty girl like you would do this...

    I work at a fast food restaurant with king in it's name. Background: I am currently attending school to get my degree because my husband is disabled. I am 51. And fat. No escaping that fact...

    SC: About 24, male, obviously works out as he is very defined muscle wise (except his brain)

    SC: I want the number 1, and the #3, with extra sandwich and please use your discount for me.
    Me: I'm sorry, I can't do that.
    SC: Obviously a pretty girl like you would do that for someone like me, wouldn't you?
    Me: Sir, I am 51 and fat. Either you need to get better lines or get some glasses.
    SC: uhm...buys food and leaves

    In his defense, he probably thought that flattery would get him somewhere.

    Obviously, he miscalculated, but still.

      sounds like he was going for the adage that if he flatters you he'll get what he wants or... he figured he could insult you and say that you're not pretty if you don't give in to his demands.

      either way you shut him down pretty well to thwart either one

        The fact that he tried this so confidently makes me wonder how often he's successfully done so in the past (it seems that he was surprised that it *didn't*), and how many workers have gotten fired over breaking the rules as a result...

            Having a bit of 'extra weight' or age means very little to some. Yes the SC was a scammer, but some would think you beautiful anyhow

              Wait a minute ... I'm disabled, my wife is 51 and fat, and I will swear on a stack of bibles that she's gorgeous. So please accept that you, too, might be a good-looker.

                They say brilliant minds think alike (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) though you might want to start worrying..my mind is a dangerous place..so thinking like me is not necessarily a good thing.

                  Not only does this dillweed harbor the evidently mistaken belief that he's God's gift to women, but he also harbors the mistaken belief that all you have to do to manipulate a woman is tell her she's pretty.

                  If, you know, she plays hard to get and pretends not to notice his irresistibly hot body.

                    LOL I bet he wasn't expecting that. People ask me for my discount alllllll the time. When I tell them that I would get fired they go all "oh I know I'm just joking". It's like, no you weren't, you're only joking if I say no. I've also been traded business cards before for people who want to "hook me up" if I hook them up.

                      I wish people would have asked me for my discount when I was working at the supermarket. I would have gladly given it to them, and I wouldn't even have to worry about getting in trouble for it. It was somewhere in the neighborhood of 0%.

                        I know that I am beautiful, my husband tells me every day (he also tells me he loves me every day so that I won't forget...after 30 years of marriage).

                        However, the idiot thought that I would fold because he complimented me. Not so much...although I do give discounts to customers (seniors) or if they are a regular and have had a problem in the past (it's only 10%, but at least it's an effort), no way would I give him my discount.

                        My point to him was it was just such a ridiculous thing to try, he's younger then my son, and telling me I'm pretty doesn't even get my son the discount...

                          I would have start making up stuff, like he has to present his "employee" card to get the discount, and that if he was really an employee he would have known this.

                            the line probably worked before for him, or he'd just heard about it. It's kinda silly how many people think employees have more control over their work/job than they actually do.

                              Sadly, that is often rather true.
