Boss threatens to punch SC

[customersruinmylife]

It's a quiet night, and I am quite happily stood in the kitchen with nothing to do. A co-worker bursts into the room.

CW: Customersruinmylife, quick! You have got to see this!

I walk out, and see my boss, another co-worker and the SC at the end of the bar. The SC is going absolutely ape-shit. She is shouting at the top of her voice, making a scene and her arms are actually waving in the air. I can tell that Boss has been dealing with her for some time, because her patience has been worn down to zero.

SC: I WANTED AN ICED CAPPUCCINO AND SHE CAN'T MAKE IT RIGHT! IT IS YOUR FAULT THAT YOUR WORKERS DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THEM!
Boss: We do not have iced cappuccinos on our menu, so why would any of my staff know how to make them?
SC: YOU ARE THEIR BOSS! YOU SHOULD HAVE TRAINED THEM!
Boss: Please lower your voice ma'am. I do not see the point in training my staff to make a drink that is not on our menu and that no one asks for.
SC: WHAT DO YOU MEAN "NO ONE ASKS FOR"??? I AM ASKIIIINNNNNNGGGGG!
Boss: I have been running this pub for nearly ten years, and working in pubs for ten years before that, and I have NEVER been asked for an iced cappuccino.
SC: I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! I WANT AN ICED CAPPUCCINO AND I WANT IT RIGHT!

She picked up a tea spoon from a jar at the end of the bar, and jabbed Boss with it!

SC: NOW!

Boss grabbed the spoon out of her hand, and slammed it down on the bar top. Her voice went very low and she started speaking through her teeth.

Boss: If you ever, EVER, touch me again, I will knock you out.
SC: I...uhhh...
Boss: Why don't you fuck off to Starbucks?

The SC knew the battle was lost, and silently walked away. Everyone quickly went back to work, and I ran back into the kitchen. Boss, not knowing I was watching, burst into the kitchen and buried her face into her hands screaming.

Boss: Customersruinmylife, you will not believe what I just had to deal with!

Boss retold the tale. Apparently she had been dealing with the lady for more than ten minutes.

Boss: ...and then the bitch jabbed me with a spoon! I swear to God, if I EVER see her in here again...

I know how to make an iced cappuccino, but the pub itself does not have the equipment to make one! It's a pub at the end of the day. We have the cheapest, shittiest, nastiest coffee in the world.

[Bright_Star]

Your boss excercised some incredible restraint by not knocking out that crazy bitch.

oh, I beg to differ... the worst coffee on the planet is served at the hotel

I have to say the WORST I've ever had (and that's difficult since I'm not particularly picky) was at a restaurant I ate at in... I want to say it was Delaware. Delaware, Maryland, or New Jersey. I basically hit all three in a two day period, so they run together.

But that coffee was nasty almost raw sewage nasty. Poor coffee

I have coffee that automatically comes out of the machine..it's up and down that it tastes decent to tasting like crap. As for the SC, DAMN!!!! Your boss really pwned her ass and really showed an incredible amount of restraint!

At the bar I worked in, we had one of those instant cappuccino machines, so we could do it. Then again, we were in a casino so we had more than a regular bar/pub would.

Back on topic tho... I wonder if she would've had the balls to do it if you were still out there as the boss CRML.

CH

[Sunflash]

I would've paid money for a tape of that exchance. xD I bet the look on the SC's face was priceless~

[LillFilly]

Wow. I too would have paid money to see that!

[Green_Fairy]

Boss: Why don't you fuck off to Starbucks?

nono! don't say this! then i'd have to deal with her! we get enough shitty customers of our own...but if was your boss, i woulda taken the spoon and poked her right out the door.

[blas]

I woulda poked her where the good Lord sporked her.

[Jester]

I am happy to not have to deal with this type of person, for the very simple reason that we don't have an espresso/cappuccino machine.

CUSTOMER: "Do you have cappucinos?"
JESTER: "Nope."
CUSTOMER: "Do you have any kind of coffee drinks?"
JESTER: "Yep. Regular and decaf."

In a similar vein, a conversation I had the other night that I have had variations of before.....

CUSTOMER: "Do you have any flavored iced teas?"
JESTER: "Yes. We have iced tea-flavored ice tea."
CUSTOMER: "What about raspberry?"
JESTER: (realizing she didn't get the joke) "Ma'am, the only flavor of iced tea we have is iced tea."
CUSTOMER: (hopefully, but knowing the jig was up) "So no flavors then?"
JESTER: "Just regular old boring regular iced tea."

I really wonder about all you caffeine junkies......

[taxguykarl]

The worst coffee I can recall was in my old university residence hall cafeteria (any surprise?). I must say CRML's boss showed some serious restraint in the OP. Tell me that SC was banned.

[Pagan]

I woulda poked her where the good Lord sporked her.

Now, that just sounds dirty.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Now, that just sounds dirty.

I read it as "I woulda porked her where the good Lords sporked her."

I just had to make it rhyme.

I'll just mosey on back to my gutter now.

[sylvier]

Your boss rocks! So what if she enhanced the story a little?
