Rude Fast Food Custy Gets Told

Retail Balls Award goes out to an Electrical Supply Store RHUer for confronting a rude custy while waiting in line:

This happened whilst I was being an average McChucks custy on my way to work at 7.30am

Now the store was packed and there seemed to be skeleton staff. So I ordered my delicious coffee and settled in to wait.

Apparently the gentleman in line behind me was...less settled. He started ranting and raving that 'This isn't f-ing fast food' calling the staff useless, idiots, morons with no respect for their work, and many other insults which I won't repeat.

This went on for a good 5 minutes, then he started on about an important meeting he was late for, blah blah blah.

At which point, I turned around, told him to "Shut the f- up, firstly there's clearly not enough staff, secondly, it's McChucks, I doubt they're too phased by his morning coffee, thirdly, if he's really that late for a meeting that's THAT important....why is he still waiting for a $3 coffee?!"

At which point he turned around and walked out, the staff and other custy's cheered and I received a free muffin :)

Good for you. We have to stick up for each other.

And obviously this jerk's time wasn't that important or he wouldn't have bothered stopping to get food or drinks, he'd have gone straight to the meeting and eaten afterwards. I've done that a time or two, if it's so all-fired important to be there on time you live with a tight belt for a few hours, it won't kill you.

I left early this morning (by 10 minutes) to give myself enough time to get breakfast, something I don't normally do. I knew I'd have time to eat it, but I knew that sometimes the lines can be long at any time of the day so I wanted to make sure I had time to browse and check out, too.

Ironically, I ended up in a meeting first thing, another thing I don't normally do. I was there to represent my department (Lawn and Garden) in a "We Listen To You" type of thing.

Good on you - the more people that do this the better. Wage slaves don't often have the freedom to stick up for themselves, so it's important that other custys call out douchebag behaviour.

+1 karma for you!

I've always wondered why people don't allow extra time if they are going to stop for coffee or food on the way to work or a meeting. If it's all that important to get there on time, don't give yourself 5 minutes to make a 20 minute trip.
