Now I know there are some finicky people out there and I've seen them time again in all sorts of places.
However I have noticed that these people seem to be a particular curse on the food services industry because they must have their food made a certain way. I personally am not picky. I don't like pickels on my burgers, but if Mickey D's is really busy, I'll just order the burgers and take the pickles off myself.
But even people somewhat picky couldn't hold a candle to this guy, I give you the King of the Picky People:
Now fortunately I didn't have to deal with this guy but I was right beside my co-worker when he did. This happened at a donut shop I used to work at. He came in to order a bagel and the encounter went something like this:
SC: Can I get a multigrain bagel, toasted with cream cheese please?
(coworker puts the bagel in the toaster and then plops it down on the counter and prepares to butter it)
SC: No! Not that knife, use that other one over there, it looks cleaner.
(coworker does)
SC: You're not doing it right, slow and circular strokes.
(coworker looks up at SC with a "let me do this please" look)
SC: Make sure you don't put too much cream cheese on there...dammit I just told you not too much! Take some off...well now there's not enough on there, a little more please...Actually you know what, take some more off. Perfect.
(meanwhile a line is forming behind this moron)
SC: Can you cut that lengthwise please? I hate it when they get cut the wrong way. That's it, thanks.
(coworker hands the cutomer his bagel and gives me a "what the fuck was that" look)
Now my coworker was new so I figure that's why he would've bent over backwards for the guy. I wouldn't have been so accomodating, a $1.56 bagel is not worth all the trouble.
Thankfully he never came back (maybe we didn't get it quite right after all
) but my god what a piece of work he was.
It's people like that who make me glad I don't work in food service anymore.

Who complains about too much cream cheese on their bagel? There's no such thing!
