Even Bosses Have A Stupid Quota, Part 3
A woman with her young son come up to the counter.
Me: “Hello, ma’am, and welcome to [Fast Food Place]. What can I get for you today?”
Customer: “I’d like two burgers, one of them on a sesame-seedless bun, please.”
Me: “I’m terribly sorry, but we’re actually out of seedless buns right now.”
Customer: “How dare you! My son has deathly allergies to a lot of things, I’ll have you know!”
Me: “Ma’am, is he allergic to sesame seeds?”
Customer: “No, he isn’t.”
Me: “Well, ma’am, the only difference between seeded and seedless buns are the sesame seeds, so it will be fine for your son to eat one with seeds.”
Customer: “HOW F****** DARE YOU! YOU DON’T TELL ME WHAT MY SON CAN OR CANNOT EAT! I WANT A SEEDLESS BUN, D*** YOU! GET ME YOUR MANAGER!”
Me: “Yes, of course. Just one moment.”
(I go and get the manager and explain the situation. My manager, NOT a people person, grabs a seeded bun and proceeds to the front with a knife.)
Manager: “HERE IS YOUR D**N SEEDLESS BUN!”
(My manager slices off the top half of the bun and throws it on the counter.)
Me: “Have a nice day, ma’am.”
Customer: “Oh, shut the f*** up.”
