I Woke Up Today And Felt Like Complaining
Angry Man: “This is ridiculous! Look how small these cones are!”
Other Server: “Uh…?”
Me: “Can I help you?”
Angry Man: “Yeah! Each time I come in here, the cones get smaller and smaller, and the scoops are tiny!”
Me: “Sir, those are standard-sized scoops. But if you’d like, I can add on a bit more ice cream.”
Angry Man: “It’s not about the ice cream! It’s the fact that you are taking money from people and making everything smaller. This is ridiculous! Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir… I’ll talk to my manager about that if you’d like.”
Angry Man: “Yeah, well, good!”
(He tries to toss the ice cream cone in the trash, but misses. He picks the cone up off the ground and throws it away. The other server and I try to keep from laughing.)
Angry Man: “You’ve just lost a customer for life!” *stalks out, red-faced*
Me & Other Server: “Wow…”
(In re-enters a customer with his son who I had just served moments before.)
Another Customer: “Don’t worry about that guy. He was just screaming at someone over at the next-door grocery store for not having the correct amount of bananas per bunch.”
