Really Hope It’s To Go
(I work in a food court inside an office building. Our customers are the building’s employees. Some of them are nice and friendly, but a lot are condescending and rude to us every day because they can get away with it. It doesn’t take me long to get fed up with their nastiness.)
Me: “Hello, ma’am! What can I get for you?”
Customer: “One slice of cheese pizza.”
Me: “Will that be for here or to go?”
Customer: *in a loud, angry, nasty voice* “ONE! SLICE! OF! CHEESE! PIZZA!”
Me: *in same voice as customer* “FOR! HERE! OR! TO! GO!”
Customer: “Oh! Sorry. To go.”
(Somehow I did not get reported and fired for that, and soon moved on to a job with less abuse.)
