A Buffet Of Entitlement
It is the middle of quarantine. Most restaurants are closed, but mine is open with limited seating. I work at a pizza restaurant that typically has a buffet but is shut down at the moment for health reasons.
Customer: “I need six for the buffet.”
Me: “Oh, I’m sorry. Due to the health crisis, we aren’t currently having the buffet.”
Customer: “What?! Well, then what are we supposed to do?”
Me: “You can still order pizzas and dine in; we just don’t have the buffet.”
Customer: “So we’re just supposed to order and share? What are we supposed to do if everyone wants a different kind?”
Me: “We can do half and half or personal sizes.”
Customer: “No, that won’t do. This is ridiculous that you expect us to come and share like that. You should have your buffet open!”
Me: “Well, like I said, this is because we are in the middle of a health crisis and it is unsafe for us to have it open.”
Customer’s Friend: *Throws their hands up* “Well, we’re going to [Competitor]!”
They all stormed out. I’m still wondering how those people order pizza at places that don’t have buffets.
