This Jerk Is Really Hamming It Up

I’m having a normal day slicing meats in the deli, and an older gentleman walks up.

Me: “Hi, sir, how can I help you?”

Customer: “I would like a half-pound of ham.”

We have about twenty-plus different hams.

Me: “What kind of ham would you like?”

Customer: “Just some ham.”

Me: “Are you looking for a sweet, smoky, or plain ham?”

Customer: “I just want some ham.”

Me: “We have [list of a bunch of different types we have] ham. What would you like?”

Customer: “I said I wanted ham.”

I had some ham on the slicer I was just going to slice.

Me: “How would you like that sliced?”

Customer: *Very angrily* “I’m going to get you fired! I know people in corporate.”

Me: “Okay, sir, have a great day.”

He went up to the front desk to complain about me.

Customer: “[My Name] refused to help me and hates veterans. I want them fired!”

My manager knew he was full of bulls***.

Manager: “I’m not going to do that, sir.”

Customer: “Fine. I will talk to corporate to get you fired, too.”

The manager and I had a good laugh about it.
