Hey RHU.
Perhaps you remember me from my last post, the one involving my previous job at an ice cream establishment. If not you may simple call me Bug. (an old nickname)
I am now working at a sandwich chain and its relatively enjoyable but there is the occasional bad customer that just makes me want to gargle staples. Today a customer came in that was so big of a douche he could clean the vaginas of all of New Yorks prostitutes.
Me: Hi. What can I get for you today?
Moron: Yeah, I’d like the ham and swiss and a cup of water.
Me: Alright, would you like to make it a combo?
Moron: No.
Me: Will that be all?
Moron: Yeah. (tosses wad of bills in my general direction)
So this dude just goes to sit down as I stand there confused with his change in hand.
Me: Um sir? Your change…
The moron rolls his eyes at me and waves a hand impatiently.
Moron: Don’t just stand there! Bring it to me!
At this point I am gritting my teeth in anger.
I have been polite and nice through all of this, keeping a strained smile on my face as I place the change in his hand. I head back to the counter to grab his food so I can be through with him asap. But as I place the tray in front of him he levels a glare that makes me want to stab him in the eye.
“I ordered the combo,” He snaps at me.
It takes all I have to keep from cursing this duckweed out.
Me: Of course sir. That will be an extra $$
At this point he waves one of his sausage fingers in my face.
Moron: Oh no, you made the mistake by not having the intelligence to listen so you’ll pay for it.
Stiffiling a laugh at his ridiculous request I merely shake my head.
Me: Afraid not sir. Is all I say before walking back to the counter as I hear a string of curses directed at me.
Apparently he complained about me “Not paying for his meal.”
They laughed at him.
Ah, sweet karma….
--Bug

*sigh*
My fading faith in humanity just took another blow.

Glad he got laughed at. What a douchecanoe.

It should be legal to punch the stupid out of people like that.

I would have told him there's an extra charge for being a cunt.

This is why we need some sort of recording device (like I stated in my Retail Slaves Wish List a while back) built into cash registers and severs ticket books. This way you could have hit the play button and he would have heard:
You: Alright, would you like to make it a combo?
Him: No.
And there is no fucking way I would have bought him his change, if he wanted it so badly I would have placed it on the counter and made him get off his useless ass and come get it.

You know, I think I'd have dumped it in the charity donation box (assuming the restaurant had one).
