Don’t Mess With Mum
(I’m working in a busy cafe that my mum owns. A man approaches the counter with his plate; it is empty.)
Customer: “Excuse me?”
Mum: “Yes?”
Customer: “This food had too much oil in it.”
(The plate is hidden from her view by the large counter, behind which, she is washing dishes.)
Mum: “Oh…? What, you want me to make you another one? You’d still have to pay for at least one.”
Customer: “No, I want a refund.”
Mum: “Can I see the plate?”
(Customer holds up plate; it is basically empty: some leftover slices of lettuce, a little bit of bread.)
Customer: “There was too much oil. I didn’t like it.”
Mum: “But… you finished it off. How can you finish a whole meal you hate? Are you kidding me?”
Customer: “No.”
Mum: “Get the f*** out of my store!”
Customer: “What?”
Mum: “F*** off!”
