only to have the customer's mental density foil said attempt?
this happened to me last night, and while not really a big deal, still annoyed me greatly at the time.
a girl ordered an iced coffee, no big deal, right?
i hand it off and call it out and she picks it up, with a confused look on her face, i then ask her what's wrong.
she says, "i wanted milk in it."
i proceed to explain that if she wants milk with her iced coffee, she needs to order a cafe con leche (coffee with milk) and that will solve the problem.
this is where the mental midgetry kicks in:
her: 'but i wanted it with milk.'
i repeat the above, and tell her that there's milk on the condiment bar right next to her (i had several other drinks needing my attention as well, unfortunately, they had to wait because twit girl couldn't figure out that the condiment bar held what she was after).
rinse and repeat three more times; after this waste of my and other customer's time, i ended up putting in milk (and causing other customers to wait while this moronic brat got her coffee with milk in it) just to shut her up, because she just couldn't comprehend that:
she's not the only customer with a drink
others were waiting while she acted like an ass, whining about wanting milk in her drink, and could move two steps to her right to put it in herself, rather than waste my time
i was trying to get her to understand what she did need to order in the future to head off this problem
some days, it doesn't pay to inform the ignorant...
