There is currently i decent size business convention of some sort in town. IDC what it is... the only way that this information is pertinent to me is that i need to split checks up so that they can do their claims at work. no biggie. oh and also, as long as i keep the wine flowing the tips are great.
Anyway, on to SC story
He is either new to the company he is with, or just an ass
me- none other
MGR- awesome guy who was already having a bad day
SC- slightly drunk non-shaven man in a tie
He was slightly rude throughout the meal in that condescending explain everything in a sugar-sweet voice that one uses with 4 yr olds way.
I bring check, he looks at me confused
SC - why are you bringing me a check?
me - well, you need to pay for your meal sir
SC - no, my company is paying for it!
(sub-note - this gentleman is not a part of a party, he is dining by himself)
me - well, sir in my dealing with other people here on business, the usual method is that they pay for it now and take the receipt with them to be reimbursed when they return to the office. Either that or they use a company credit card
SC- well my company didn't give me a CC to use and i am not going to all that trouble to get my money back! I"M NOT PAYING!
me- well sir i am sorry to hear that, let me go get my manager and see if he can't help you out.
SC- NO! I AM DEALING WITH YOU AND I AM TELLING YOU THAT I AM NOT PAYING!
me- if that is the case sir, if you try to leave without paying i will be forced to call the police and you will be charged with theft by fraud. Or you could let me get the manager(who at this point is on his way over already due to the yelling)
At this point the SC has been cowed by the knowledge that we would a legal recourse, also, the manager arrives)
MGR- hello sir, is there something that i can help you with?
SC- oh no(reading) *MGR's name*, just a misunderstanding that's cleared up now.
MGR- glad to hear it, have a good day sir*leaves*
After SC tenders his payment and i process it, he leaves and i received a 15% tip, nothing special, but also not a crap tip either.
MGR - so what was all that about?
i tell him
MGR - wow, good thing the GM wasn't here or you would have been chewed out.
me - yeah i know
btw- MGR is a great guy that only takes sides on a situation only after hearing the facts, even if you are his friend, he does not play favorites... oh wait there are British and Canadians here... favourites
