Ugh, I had the most annoying woman next to me in the queue at subways earlier.
(background info) This is the subway where I go to lunch almost every weekday for over a year now at almost the same time and get on well with the staff and even know them by name, they know my regular order down to the last detail and even know which days i'll take the sub of the day instead(/background info)
Well it all started off when she asked for a certain type of bread and when the server got a loaf and cut it in half she demande the other half instead despite the fact that they are the same?
then she changed her order 3 times before she got to paying, and when she got to the end, she said "Oh, aren't you going to toast it for me?" when I distinctly remember a staff member asking her if she wanted it toasted and her replying "no".
Then came the icing on the cake. She had paid and was given her sandwich in a bag and she demanded loudly "I need a napkin". The girl behind the cash register said quite politely "I have already put one in your bag, it should be at the bottom, would you like an extra one?"
the customer then shouted "I NEED napkins" and picked up the pile of napkins next to the register and proceeded to try to fit them in her bag.
Now when I say a pile of napkins, I mean a PILE of napkins about 8 inches thick and was the entire pile of napkins on the counter!
Cue the following:
NT: napkin thief
CG: checkout girl
M: Manager who is making coffees and see it all happen
Me: 6'1" me, but its dress down day at the office so I'm wearing grey combats and a black t-shirt with a dragon wrapped round a skull on it (dress down days are really dress down round here)
CG: excuse me but you can't take that many napkins
NT: I NEED these napkins
M: Umm, I'm afraid that our napkins are not free, we give you one with each purchase but I'm afraid if you take that many then we will have to charge you.
NT: But you see, I NEEEEEED these. (turns to walk off)
M: Thats stealing unless you pay for those
NT: (Walking off) Can you believe the nerve, I NEEDED these!
Me: (loud enough for everyone to hear) Some people are just full of themselves
NT: and who are you to say anything to me, you're getting a free napkin, why can't I? and I NEED them.
Me: (To manager) best call security before I feel the NEED to forcibly eject this customer for them.
at which point NT storms off in a huff, no doubt to complain about how some thug scared her off
Seriously, the nerve of some people, I mean why do you need napkins that badly? Just repeating that you need them won't change anything. And if you're going to be cheeky and ask for something extra, don't be a pain inthe a** beforehand
