This was about 6 years ago, I was about 15. I worked at Tim Horton's. It was the only one in the area radius of about 4 hours. We were also in small cottage country.
I was only working for about 3 weeks at this time. Just the finish of summer, so a lot of the cottagers were heading home and the little kiddies were getting ready for school. And ours was a 24hr one, so none stop for 2 solid weeks.
The front is built so that if we get a line up, the line goes all the way around the building to outside, and then proceeds out there. (We generally hoped that the survival of the fittest would happen, sadly never did). The parking lot was stupidly built there was traffic jams all the time, and no one could leave town as the line up to get in would go all the way down the main street.
Big Bad scary man = SC
Timid Father = SC2
Daughter of Tm = DoSC2
Me=
Boss= B (was an ex bouncer, now owner,)
Cop = C
SC comes into the store, looks at the line and starts cursing. The line is not huge yet as it is 6:30 am. So he's at the first door.
SC2 and DoSC2 come in and immediately get in behind SC.
SC2: Excuse me, but you almost hit my truck in the parking lot. (speaks quietly, just really wants buddy to be nice to him)
SC: (turns around to look at him) What the fuck did you just say pip squeak? (pip squeak? Really??? That looks like it was a big word for you!)
SC2: *clears his throat and speaks louder* You almost hit me in the parking lot, I would appreciate an apology. My daughter was in the truck.
*They are basically standing right in front of my area, I'm on the second till serving the coffees already order and handing them off*
SC: I don't really give a flying shit about what almost happened. Maybe you should pay attention and learn how to drive.
DoSC2: Dad, can we please just go?
SC: Yeah listen to your pussy of a kid.
*At this point I go into the back an inform my Boss of this little fight that is about to escalate. I come back, Boss is still in the back, and the SC is just screaming at the poor guy and his daughter looks terrified*.
Me: Finally having enough of this as no one else has the backbone to deal with it. "Sir, you need to leave.... Now.
SC: goes into a incoherent rant that was mostly swearing and did not make a lot of sense. His face is staring to go red.
Me: If you do not do as I say, I will go get the office that just pulled into the parking lot.
SC: takes his index finger and drills it into my sternum, and seems to have coherence, but not clarity or intelligence "You little shit, I already have to deal with a "some jarble that didn't make sense" and his little fuckin snot. You can take you request and "some obscene directions" it.
*Cop walks in. I look pissed. SC's face is red, and everyone is looking at us"
Is a small town, the cops know everyone.
C: Hey LadyDrow, is there a problem?
Boss finally comes out
B: Yes there was a fight, take them both away.
Me: Points at the SC "This one is the only one that caused a problem. SC2 claims that he almost hit his car, SC went on a bit of a rampage."
SC: Still red, apparently lot the ability to speak
C takes him outside to talk to him and C's partner talks to SC2, DoSC2 and Me.
They all left.
B tells me that I shouldn't give involved in these types of things and to come and get him. Sadly, this man did not have the balls to deal with it. And took him 10 minutes to get out there. After the cop came in.
