Gave an SC a taste of her own medicine.
This happened last night. These 3 stooges were all together (the mother, an idiot teen girl and an equally stupid boyfriend of the teen girl). The mother was the only one who seemed to have a resemblance of a brain and my co-worker had the honors of starting up their orders.
Right off the bat the teen girl and the boyfriend were acting moronic, immature and obnoxious while my co-worker was trying to start their orders. I overheard the teen girl saying something along the lines of "I can't do this, there are way too many choices, someone needs to help me with this!" (Um, if you can't even make it through ordering a sandwich then you are in for a very tough time up ahead)
The boyfriend couldn't figure out whether he wanted anything or not, and was just sitting there at the table taking up space and air. The teen girlfriend went up to him, talking to him like he was 3 year-old telling him that if he gets hungry later then it's his own fault for not getting anything while they are here, and that he better not complain later.
Boyfriend finally decides he wants a turkey. Co-worker starts making it and then he starts complaining about there not being enough meat.
BF: Is that all the meat that comes on it?
CW: Yes, it comes with 8 slices of turkey for a 12 inch. It will be an extra $2.50 for extra meat.
Boyfriend agrees on the extra meat and as I ring out my customer I go to help CW because more people just came in.
I get to veggies and this is where shit happens. I'm asking what kind of veggies the teen girl wants on her sandwich, and while being more closely stuck to her boyfriend than an octopus wrapped in its own arms she starts telling me which veggies she wants in the most demeaning voice, slowly enunciating the names of the veggies as if she were trying to talk to a slow person or a toddler. (but directed right at me) She must have thought this was funny. Either that or she was simply used to playing surrogate brain for that boyfriend of hers. Little did she know that she ended up doing this to the wrong person.
(I have seen many horrors working at Subway but this was a first time even for this grizzled, jaded Subway veteran. I will NOT stand for being talked to like that whether I lose my job over it or not. I have too much self respect and no job is worth being treated like that by anyone in my opinion)
So as the SC was doing that for the first few veggies:
SC: "I'd like TOMAAATOESSS, CUUUCUMBERRRS, OONNNNIONNS, etc"
I decided to imitate what she was doing to me right back at her.
Me: Do you also want OOOOLIIIIVEESS?
I did this with her mother standing right next to her and I honestly think the mother thought it was great that I did it right back at her as she said nothing to me after I did it. What did happen was that the stupid teen daughter immediately stopped talking to me like I was 3 and finished the rest of the order in a "talking to another human being in a normal way" voice. I think I ended up embarrassing her when I threw it back to her.
