All Fired Up And Fried Up
(I have a headset on to assist drive-thru…)
Cashier: “You had the burger and a coke. Any fries today?”
Customer: *grumpy*: “No fries!”
Cashier: “Okay. And what size for your drink?”
Customer: “NO FRIES!”
Cashier: “I know, but what size for your drink? Small, medium, or large?”
Customer: “I said NO FRIES!”
Cashier: “Okay. The burger and a coke…”
Customer: “LISTEN, YOU LITTLE B****! I said I didn’t want fries! Don’t you f****** listen?!”
(She drives up to the first window and I’m ticked off, so I take it. She hands me her credit card.)
Me: “DON’T SWEAR AT MY COWORKERS!”
Customer: “Well, she wasn’t listening!”
Me: “Yes, she was. You didn’t. She asked what size of drink. She didn’t say a damn word about fries after you said you didn’t want any.”
Customer: “I want your manager.”
(I call for manager.)
Customer: “I want—”
Me: “Nope. You want the manager, not me, so you’re getting the manager.” *I still have her card so she can’t leave*
(The manager comes and the customer complains about my attitude to her. The manager says exactly what I did, not to swear at us, it’s her own fault, and not to come back. Haven’t seen her since.)
