Many Many years ago, when I was but a youngun of 15, I worked for Burger King.
One day, a group of 5 or so Men/Children came in (Were probably about 18-20 years old, but behaved like they were 5)
Me: A younger version of myself
SC: Stoopid tosser out to impress his mates
SC walks up to my counter, his friends were variously hanging around a few feet behind him and messing with the jukebox off to the side. SC orders his meal and pays. He was normal enough to begin with, until I assemble his meal and deliver it to him.
Me: There you go, a whopper meal with a choc shake.
SC: Thanks. (Takes meal and starts to walk away. At this point, seems to realise that his friends have just witnessed him being polite. This will not do.)
SC: Get a real job! Your fucking useless!
Me:
where the hell did that come from?
SC and co leave the store but hang around in the parking lot.
My manager witnessed this and came straight up to me and said 'That was crap. You did nothing wrong. If he comes back, you can tell him to leave.'
About half an hour later, SC comes back in, this time accompanied by only one friend. Comes up to my counter again.
SC: (Holding out a twenty dollar note) Can you change this for 2 tens? (At no point does he make eye contact, let alone look at me)
Me: Ok.
I go and get cash drawer keys from manager, who gives me a WTF look. Wait, I sez, you'll see. Manager comes out front to watch. I open drawer, get out 2 tens and hold out to SC. He goes to take the money from me, but I hang onto it so he can't take it. He finally looks up at me, all confused. I give him my most scathing look.
Me: (Loud enough for his friend to hear) Not so fucking useless now, am I?
SC:
Me: Get the fuck out of my store.
SC:
SC turns and hightails towards the door. My manager yells after him 'Don't bother coming back!' Then gives me a high five
