I was an SC and it feels so good!

I'm sorry. I was agreeing with you up until you bragged about dumping the chicken on the floor to try and prove a point. That was childish, and quite frankly, not the best way to try and get what you want. And you made that chicken unsellabe, so somebody who may have liked the pieces you had would have been unable to get them, thus causing the store to lose profit.

What you should have done was hand her back the meal, say " I don't want this then" (so she could have still used it for another customer), then go look for a manager. That would have been more mature than knocking your milk cup off your high chair.

I've been a situation a few times where I'd be picking up one of those cooked chickens but they were out of the one I wanted. So I ask when some would be ready, get a rough ETA, and go off to shop and come back when they're ready. The Walmart Supercenter near me has that, so I'll stop there and shop for errands and get dinner fixings while I'm at it.

And maybe I'm just as stupid, but sometimes I can't tell thigh pieces from breasts either. Not that I care: chicken is chicken, meat is meat...craving satisfied.

What gets me most about the dumping of the chicken on the floor is the fact that the way he explained it, he did it so nonchalantly w/o a second thought. As if to toss your keys on the counter or brush a spec of dandruff off your shirt and keep on going without breaking stride. Then basically saying "now give me what I want since you have no other option." Also $3.99 for 8 pieces of chicken is a steal even without the breast and wing. A breast and wing at places like regular chicken places is more than that. A breast alone can cost you a little over $2 itself. I don't understand the thought process leading up to purposely dumping food on the floor. Probably because it was uncalled for and there is no viable explaination.

I can only imagine if the OP was at a restaurant and didn't like the portion he got and just brushed his plate on the floor and then got snarky asking for a specific piece he saw someone at another table get. OP if it meant so much, you could've went to a manager like others have said. I was agreeing with you too up that point.

I just truly wonder, if your wife made a dinner you didn't like, would you toss your plate to the floor?

That is very much the same as you acted at the grocery, and I do hope that you do eventually see what you did for what it is.

If I were the manager and a customer who had deliberately thrown MY chicken on the floor had called to complain about an employee, I'm not going to just take his word for it. People who throw food to get their way are very likely to lie to get their way.

I would also take that opportunity to tell you that you weren't welcome in my store any more.

Now if I had reports from lots of OTHER customers about that employee and she had been skating on thin ice I would have talked with her and based on that talk might have decided to fire her.

But you would still be banned.

The majority of the sentiments posted in response to your behaviour should sum it up for you: what you did was childish, and *if* the woman was fired over this incident, it's not something to brag about.

You behaved in exactly the same manner as the SCs we come here to complain about.

Damn shame, is what it is.

Gotta agree. IMO potlatch is one of the few sins you can commit.

In your place, I would have ordered a second 8-piece deal, then handed the first one back to the person behind the counter.

That's a good idea which hadn't occurred to me. I've never worked in food service, but I imagine that no matter what, once a product is handed over it needs to be trashed even if it never left your sight and was returned.

So I think that would have had the same result anyhow= wasted food.

My thoughts:

• Most places I've been to have a standard 8 piece being 2 breasts, 2 wings, 2 thighs and 2 drums--NO SUBSTITUTIONS.
  
• Management should've been called ASAP.
  
• I'm thinking that the woman wasn't fired only because of the chicken incident, but that was a cause of it.

*shuddering at the thought of dealing with fried chicken at work today*

Well, I can certainly see why you were afraid to give them your name.
