I've been lurking for awhile and finally decided to join and post my very first SC rant.
I've worked at a northwest chain of restaurants for a few years now, and the following occurred only a few months after I was hired. I was a cashier at the time.
It was a busy night, and the manager and I were taking orders up front. I was waiting for my customers to decide when a woman (furthermore known as SC) walked up to my manager's register. Basically the convo went something like SC wanted to pay for a glass she grabbed of the bar. She poured herself some soda. She has been choking and it was still kinda stuck in her throat. My manager of course told her that it wasn't necessary to pay, that he understood her plight. She walks away, I barely give her a glance, and continue with my order.
An hour or so later she comes up to the counter again, red-faced/angry/borderline tantrum and is talking to the manager. By this time I'm back in the kitchen and notice her pointing at me, and so I join them. This was a long time ago, So I cant remember exactly how the conversation went. But from what I understood was that she wanted to pay for that drink she took off the bar. She was persistent. She said I looked at her in such a way that made her think that I thought that she was stealing. She throws the money at the manager.
She then reaches into her purse and throws a wadded up dollar bill at me and scream (and I use that word literally) "HERE'S YOUR FUCKING TIP!!". And storms out the door.
I walked back into the kitchen, shell-shocked, and my A.M. followed me. He looks at me and just busts up laughing. I, of course feel much better, see the absurdity of it all, and join him. Never heard anything else about the incident.
