This sad thing is all the stories in this post occurred over a mere TWO days of work.
Loose Change
Guy orders a drink and I tell him it'll be $1.60. He gives me $1.50 and then I hear the familiar clinking of change hitting the floor...
SC: There's $1.50, the rest of it fell on the floor but you can pick it up.
Now I know I should have said something to this tool but I was so stunned by what he did I wasn't able to come up with a response before he walked out.
And in true SC fashion the change he did leave on the floor was NOT enough. He ended up six cents short...
Dear Person with the annoying kids who beat on just about every surface in the store like it was a drum kit, spilled three drinks and screamed the entire time they were here,
Go to Hell. That is all.
The Great Pepperoni War
I'm making a sandwich for this guy and he starts off being nice enough...at least until his girlfriend orders a sandwich with pepperoni on it.
SC: Hey that looks good, can I have a pepperoni?
Me: You can get it on your sandwich for $1 extra
SC: No I don't want that, I just want a pepperoni
(I ignore him and continue making the sandwiches)
SC: I'm serious, I want a pepperoni.
Me: Sir, I can't just give you a pepperoni. If you want one you'll have to pay for it.
(what makes this so hard to understand??)
SC: Oh come on, it's just one pepperoni. I won't even tell your boss.
Me: She'd already know, she's standing *points* right over there.
And she was also listening to this whole thing. At this point, SC tries to convince her to give him a pepperoni, coming up empty. Then he acted extremely pissy the whole time I was ringing him up all because he couldn't get one tiny piece of meat for FREE.
Crazedclerk's scorecard
Number of people over the past two days who were on a cell phone the entire time I made their food: 9
Number of people who took more than ONE call during that same period: 5
Number of people who acted extremely inconvenienced when I kept asking them questions: 6
Number of people who apologized to me for being on the phone during the transaction:0
Number of people whose cell phone I'd like to shove up their asses: 9
Change you can't believe in
Maybe I'm alone on this, but if I ring up your sandwich at $6.42 and you say "oh I have the 42 cents" then you should give me 42 cents. Shoveling 74 cents into my hand instead will get you an evil glare.
Ordering a sandwich 101
DO
- Read the menu closely
- Treat me nicely
- Speak clearly
- Be decisive
- If you're with a group, try to keep everything organized
- Tell me all the sandwiches and such you want from the get go
DON'T
- Sit at one of our tables and bark your order to me from across the room.
- Come in with a large group and, due to your total lack of control, get all their orders hopelessly confused
- Decide when I am finished making your sandwich that you actually wanted a different kind of bread.
- Order three more sandwiches when you get to the register, drawing the ire of not only me but everyone else in line.
- Accept the fact that not every <sandwich shop> carries the exact same condiments and ingredients and realize I am NOT in fact lying to you when I say we don't carry what you're looking for.
- Throw a bitch fit when you get to the register because your sandwich is suddenly more than you thought it was. And don't expect me to give you a discount to make up for it either. It's not my damned fault you suck at reading.
