A Pointless Arguement

[customersruinmylife]

A couple of guys come in the pub. They speak to a co-worker.

SC: Do you serve food here?
CW: Yes we do. All our menus are on the tables.
SC: And your meals include a free drink right?
CW: I'm afraid not. All drinks must be purchased seperately.
SC: Oh...well your meals USED to include free drinks.
CW: Not while I've been here unfortunately.
SC: *in an extremelly stuck up tone* Well you can't have worked here very long then!
CW: I have been here since this place opened eight years ago...
SC: ...
CW: ...
SC: No you haven't.

He stormed off to a table and began looking at a menu.

SC: No you haven't.

Now there's a comeback.

It's nice how scamming stupidity faulters in the face of reality and truth.

And of course, there's the epic fail of claiming to know that the place served free drinks with meals, when he didn't even know that the place served meals.

You caught that too. Apparently so did CMRL's CW.

I'm liking stories from this pub better than the ones from your old pub.

Another thing I don't get: even if this pub USED to do <insert outrageous claim here> why bother arguing when you've been told that <insert outrageous claim here> is not something currently done?

Does anyone work at a place that rewards customers for that?

Haha, they are a completely different class of SC...their I.Q's have dropped about 95%

You mean other than any place with a spineless manager?

[Peppergirl]

CRML - Do you think it's possible that the SC's at your old pub ...umm....*followed you* when you moved?

It sure as hell seems like you can't escape them.

I'm sorry but i totally burst out laughing when I read the customers ever so witty comeback... i'd say it's right up there with "I know you are but what am I"

[icmedia]

Gas *USED* to cost $0.99 a gallon! McDonald's *USED* to sell personal pizzas! Heroin *USED* to be legal!

Those are the things I would probably point out if I were confronted with said comment.

OLD FART SC: "We've been coming here 30 years, and we've never had a problem getting separate checks before!"
COWORKER: "That's impressive, considering we've only been open 19 years."
OLD FART SC:

McDonald's *USED* to sell personal pizzas!

Really? In the 40+ years I've been eating at McD's I don't recall ever seeing personal pizzas.

[Broomjockey]

We had them. And I was greatly disturbed when a friend who worked there told me spoiled ones looked like cooked ones. The pizzas were pretty good though.

Don't you wish you could come back at SC's like that with:

Yes, and you USED to be able to get an entire meal, plus dessert, for $1.85...BACK IN 1952. What's your point?
(assuming you worked at a place that's been open that long)
I mean really, what does it matter what any store/restaurant USED to do?
