Uncle Sam And Auntie Sam Don’t Want The Same Thing
(I’m female.)
Employee #1: “Name?”
Me: “Sam.”
(I see him write exactly “Sam” on my order ticket. After a while, “Samantha” is called. I ignore it. “Sam” is called a bit later. I walk up.)
Me: “Collecting my order for Sam, please.”
Employee #2: “Okay, here’s your [not my order].”
Me: “Oh, I ordered [my order].”
Male Customer: “[Not my order] is mine.”
Me: “Same name, sorry.”
(I start to walk away.)
Employee #2: “Wait, [my order] is under Samantha.”
(I noticed that on the order ticket, “antha,” was added, in different handwriting. I think they tried to prevent same-name confusion by assuming the female Sam would just respond to Samantha. I have never gone by that, nor is that my legal name.)

Have you ever served a bad customer who got what they deserved?
