I was working the morning shift, and a hen (bacholorette) party came in. They had been in the day before and had drunk themselves silly. They were still wearing the same clothes from the night before, and judging by the state and smell of them, half of them hadn't made it back to their hotel the night before. So I had to deal with a group of 20 screechy, angry, hungover women, average age 50 and wearing clothes suited for a 16 year old.
So, they all order their food...seperately, even though they were all sat together. We were really busy, and because they had all ordered seperately, the kitchen misjudged how many breakfasts they had to prepare. This meant that one lady's breakfast was lost.
SC: Excuse me, but I ordered breakfast. Everyone has their breakfast on my table except me!
Me: OK, I'll go find out where it is.
As I walk towards the kitchen, a co-worker bursts out. I ask him about the missing breakfast.
CW: Oh, I think it's ready now! I'll just get it in a minute.
I go tell the SC that it is on it's way.
Nope, CW was mistaken. It wasn't her breakfast. I go over to her.
Me: Can I just see your receipt? Just so I can find out where it is.
SC: You never gave me one!
Liar. The hungover bitch looks through her bag. Oh wait, there's her reciept!
SC: Everyone has their breakfast except me!
Me: OK I will be back in two seconds.
I walk into the kitchen. Yeah, the order was lost. Our mistake, no biggy. I got the breakfast prepared in about five seconds and took it out. The lady had been waiting about two minutes for her breakfast. The other 19 hags had barely started theirs, so it wasn't as if she was the only person left eating.
Me: I'm sorry about that. Would you like a free drink for our mistake.
SC: OK, I'll have a pint of beer.
Yes, it is 9am.
Me: OK.
I get her the beer. All is well...no!
She sees the manager and runs over to him. All I see is her, arms waving, being dramatic and looking annoying. Manager was smiling. He does this when he knows he is dealing with an idiot.
Manager calls me over.
M: That lady just put in a complaint about you. She wanted you fired.
Me: For what?
M: She said you were rude, unhelpful, sexist and unproffesional.
Me: OK, so sorting out her problem, being friendly and getting her a free beer was rude?
M: Yes it was. Don't worry, I told the skank where to go.
I was livid. If she had stayed for longer I would have shown her what being rude, unhelpful, sexist and unproffesional was really like!
