Hey, long time no post but I had to post this....
Hey all, in addition to my teaching job I work the concession stand at my high school football games, mainly since my wife's the band director........we played an old cross-county rival last night that we hadn't played in years (since they merged three high schools into one and they are 3x as big as us) and my school was beaten badly....typically the band boosters make $1,500 to $2,000 on a game but but last night we cleared $5,000 and until halfway through the 4th quarter (when we ran out of drinks, literally) we had four lines 20 people deep, and our stadium was filled (this has been the first time the old cross-county rival played at our new stadium since we opened the school in 2000). We have burger combos, fries, burgers, nachos, chicken strips, fried pickles
popcorn, and canned sodas and water (we used to have a fountain but it was always giving us issues). Heck, people from the nearby factories come up at game time and get a burger combo to-go. That's how good we are! But Boy were some of those cross-county people RUDE! Here are a few:
* You and your brother at the start of the game, each paying for a single $1 pepsi with a $20 bill.......then getting mad when you tried doing it again at halftime and we refused. We are not a bank
* Again, we are not a bank......yes, you ordered $10 worth of food and paid with a $20 but I took great pleasure in telling you no, that you couldn't have 10 one's when you saw other cashiers asking for them!
* You, the jerk on your phone calling your friends in the stands asking what they all want, and holding up my line. I took great pleasure in making you wait
* You, the girl who kept changing her order and having the nerve to get mad at me when your chicken strips took 3 minutes......thank god that my students
who were next in line put your sorry butt into place and told you to wait patiently and see how busy it is.
* You, the girl who after buying a pepsi with a $10 bill and seeing me ask around for $1's and then getting angry after I refused to do another transaction with a single pepsi and a $20 bill!
* We put pickles on the burgers and then put them in little bags and keep them in a warmer. Trust me, last night those burgers spent maybe 2 minutes at most in the warmer. But your little one hates pickles and you have the nerve to demand a fresh burger with no pickle contact when the line is 30 deep? Maybe if you were the only customer but with a line deep? Does this look like a burger king to you? You don't get it your way! Sorry, you lose!
* Yes, we ran out of cold drinks despite filling up BOTH coolers with sodas and water TO THE BRIM and we still ran out. This does give you the right to say *that's f*ckin bullshit!* when we announced it especially with little ones in earshot
Let me reiterate that each of these SC's was NOT from my school but the rival school. They have some serious entitlement issues it seems! Am I glad to be back and get that off my chest!
