Bread Racism

The phone rings, and I get this guy.

Me: "Restaurant, how can I help?"
SC: "Yeah, I was wondering what kinds of bread you have for your dinner plates?"
Me: "Well, we've got buns, regular sandwich bread, and Texas toast. Oh, and hot dog buns."
SC: "Excuse me?"
Me: "The kinds of breads we have are (repeats above)."
SC: "Let me talk to your manager."

I grab Boss Child and tell her that a customer wants to talk to her. A few minutes later, Boss Child returns and tells me what was going on.

Apparently, Bread Guy thought I was "rude and racist" for not knowing what kinds of bread we had and that he "knew the South was prejudiced, but not this bad!" Neither Boss Child nor myself know what the hell that was all about.

Sauce Insanity

Me: (answers phone) "Restaurant, how can I help you?"
SC: "Yeah, I ordered some fish from y'all and y'all's didn't give me no tartar sauce!"
Me: "I'm sorry about that, if you'd like you can swing back around we can give you some. If you're still close that is."
SC: "Just let me talk to your goddamn manager!"

So, I grab Boss Child and she gets to deal with him. I listen to Boss Child's side.

Boss Child: "Yes...I'm sorry ab-...Sir, if you can't stop using that kind of lang-...Actually, I'm the owner...Have you been using that language with my employee?...Well, whether you got tartar sauce or not, that's not a reason to act like a six year old throwing a tantrum...Yes, I am belittling you, and I'm surprised you know a word that big. Yes, thank you, you won't be missed. Bye now."

Me:

Please to clone Boss Child, so we can infiltrate the clones into other companies' management?

[chainedbarista]

bread racism? wow...*mindboggled*

tartar tantrums?

[AquaGirl]

Some people are nuts and no matter what you day its racist but where did he get that? If you'd said white bread I might be able to see where his f-ed up mind was headed but...and for not knowing? You told him. Jesus.

Maybe he was expecting something like a NY deli would have. Rye, pumpernickle, sourdough, etc.

[fireheart]

Does that mean that guitardude is rollcist?

Seriously, some people....

Ah, the race card. Often played at the most inappropriate and inexplicable times, but those are the times when it is the most fun!

[tropicsgoddess]

Not knowing bread = prejudice?! . Loved how Boss Child pwned that SC!

[Betweenshades]

"Yes...I'm sorry ab-...Sir, if you can't stop using that kind of lang-...Actually, I'm the owner...Have you been using that language with my employee?...Well, whether you got tartar sauce or not, that's not a reason to act like a six year old throwing a tantrum...Yes, I am belittling you, and I'm surprised you know a word that big. Yes, thank you, you won't be missed. Bye now."

This is awesome. Give her a high five for me!

Boss is great. Bread Man is nuts. I'd list all the nuts so it doesn't look "racist" but all I can think of right now is, let's see, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews, filberts, cola nuts, pine nuts...um...that's all for now...

[Caractacus_Potts]

It is trully rare and wonderfull when a customer starts yelling and swearing at the business owner mistakenly thinking they are talking to a manager or low level employee.

[PepperElf]

How is listing the bread racist? and it sounds like you knew exactly what they had?


Unless the customer wanted specific bread and figured "they don't carry my favorite! it's racism!" like an idiot...

[Shironu-Akaineko]

I'm thinking it's the Texas Toast that set him off.
As for not knowing the bread, maybe it was the "Oh! and..." That he was refering to?

My psych told me to put myself in other people's shoes, so I,m trying to be as difficult and pointlessly OCD as I can to understand the SC...

There's also lug nuts, lock nuts, cap nuts, hex nuts, square nuts, speed nuts, etc.

Really!? How could you forget the delicious goodness that is the Macadamia?
