Little Bite-Sized Lies
(It’s 11:30 pm and the fast food restaurant I work at has already closed at 11:00 pm. I am standing at the counter finishing the cashout when a customer walks in.)
Customer: “Hi, give me a teen burger combo.”
Me: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but we’re closed now. The restaurant was only open until eleven.”
Customer: *ignores me* “I’d like onion rings instead of fries.”
Me: “Ma’am, I can’t make you any food right now. Everything is off and we are closed.”
Customer: “What? That’s f***ing ridiculous! My daughter is in the hospital and I need to get something to eat!”
Me: “I’m sorry about that, ma’am, but I can’t re-open the store for you.”
Customer: “That’s bulls**t! What the f*** am I supposed to do now?!”
Me: “Well, I believe there’s another fast food restaurant just down the street that’s open 24 hours–”
Customer: “No! No! Don’t f***ing tell me to go there! My nephew is in the hospital and I am not going to bring him food from another f***ing restaurant!”
Me: “Ma’am, I thought it was your daughter in the hospital.”
(The customer freezes for a moment before realizing her mistake.)
Customer: “F*** you!” *leaves*
