A Two Too Much, Part 2
I work in a deli/convenience store where you have to order your sandwich on a touch-screen. Some customers get confused about this, especially if they’re not from the area, so I’m used to coming around to help.
Customer: “How do I order two of the same sandwich?”
Me: “You have to order it on the screen. Pick lunch and dinner.”
Customer: “But how do I order two?”
Me: “I’m getting there. Do you want a hot or cold hoagie?”
Customer: “I want two.”
Me: “You can change the quantity at the end but you need to pick what kind of hoagie you want first.”
Customer: *Picks cold hoagies* “How do I get two?”
Me: “What kind of meat do you want sir?”
Customer: *Picks Italian* “How do I get two?”
Me: “We’re almost there. Just pick the toppings you want.”
Customer: *Picks toppings* “How do I get two?”
Me: “Hit ‘update quantity.’”
The customer hits update quantity and buttons with numbers appear.
Customer: “How do I get two?”
Me: “Just hit the two.”
The customer hits the four and completes the order.
Me: “Okay, sir, you can pay with your slip at the front.”
Customer: “Thank you!”
The customer goes to pay. I go to the deli and make the four sandwiches he ordered. I call his order number when they are ready, placing the sandwiches on the counter.
Customer: “Why the f*** are there four sandwiches? I wanted two!”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but you ordered four and paid for four, so that’s what I had to make.”
Customer: “Well, you did a terrible job of telling me how to get two sandwiches if I ended up with four!”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir. But you paid for four sandwiches so these are all yours.”
Customer: “Well, I only want two!”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir.”
I start buzzing for the manager.
Me: “We can give you a refund on two of them if you want.”
Customer: “No, forget it. The cashier is probably just as f****** stupid as you are!”
He took two of the sandwiches and stormed out.
