This is almost too ridiculous to believe, but it's true.
SC: I'd like a 6 inch ham and cheese on wheat.
*I proceed to cut the bread and am about to reach for the Ham when...*
SC: Hey wait!
*I glance up*
SC: That's NOT six inches. You shorted me, cut it right.
Me: I'm pretty sure it's six inches sir.
SC: No it's not, cut a new loaf of bread for me.
(note: While we usually don't do this it's not really a big deal and since I figure it will placate the SC, I decide to do it, taking a moment to carefully line up the approximate midpoint of the bread with my knife and cut)
SC: NO! It's still short.
Me: I'm almost certain it's not sir.
SC: Well I think it is! Do you have a ruler? I want you to measure this thing.
Me: Yes I have a ruler.
(oh why didn't I lie to him?)
SC: Well then measure that thing please!
Me: *sigh* (I get the ruler and it comes up just short of six inches, like by less than a quarter of an inch short)
SC: See I told you! Less than six inches. Now cut me a six inch sandwich and do it right.
(Note to potential SCs: be careful what you say to the dude making your sandwich when he has a knife in his hand...)
Me: Ok, I'm going to do this one more time and after that, if you are still not satisfied, you aren't getting a sandwich today.
(I take the other half of the second loaf I cut and very carefully cut it to almost exactly six inches)
SC: There! Now was that so hard?
Now before you start questioning me as to why I went so far with this customer, the owner nearly fired someone before for a practically identical incident (yes this happens more than you'd think) when the employee refused to go along with the customers request to carefully measure the sandwich. Wanting to keep my job, I decided to play along with the stupidity.
