The men kissing men thread made me remember this and I didn't want to do a threadjack but here is something that may entertain. In the summer of 2005, I was just about easing into the rigors of my job and worked a very busy show at the Party Venue. The show: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and it was SC central. This gem appeared during the outbound process when the show ended. At the Party Venue we have a treeline which divides the lot into 2 sides. There are about 3 drive thrus that have gates that are locked and shut during the outbound process so traffic will not be a huge mess.
During the outbound process, traffic is packed, people want to go home, and others are getting wasted. I was standing around at my drive thru when this male mid 20s customer (Important part of the story) flags me down. I figure he wants directions and I have no problem. Turns out I did.
Idiot: Hey, can you open that gate up for us?
Me: Nope, it's locked and I don't have the keys.
Idiot: Why don't you have the keys?
Me: Because no one trusts us.
I walk off and go back to my spot, the idiot somehow gets my attention again. He decides to get my attention and plays a different card.
Idiot: Hey sexy, you gonna open those gates up?
At this point I decide to play along with this, and have some fun. After his comment, I respond.
Me: Well, I don't know. But if you really want me to open those gates up, would you be willing to come to my place?
Idiot: *He gets a look of confusion on his face, which for me is perfect because now he's starting to realize that he's about to lose his own game* "Uh, yeah sure."
Me: Great, then you'd be willing to at least obey my employer's policies? *I make a point of smacking my butt in a seductive way while I am talking*
Idiot: Well, you know what I just realized that I have a lot to do in the next few days so uh, bye!
Recap: Customer wants to cut through the drive thru, I tell him no, he tries to play a mind game of hitting on me, I play along, and he freaks out and speeds off trying to flee from the crazy arena slave. The look on his face was a mixture of
and hopefully he learned his lesson and would never try that again.
