SCs With A Vengeance

[XCashier]

The amount of refunds we did was ridiculous. Not because we were serving bad food or anything, but because the customers were too impatient to wait for their food, despite being told about the delay before they ordered.

SC: But I didn’t think you were serious!

At least three customers said that.

Dude, look around. This place is MOBBED. The staff is running their collective ass off and their nerves are absolutely shot.
Why the would they joke about a delay?!?!

SC: I’ve been waiting for my food for 20 minutes. Can’t you work a bit faster?
F: Maggie, leave him alone.
SC: But-
F: MAGGIE! LEAVE. HIM. ALONE.

God bless that customer who had the decency to tell Maggie to back off.

Manager gave us a bottle of wine each for our effort, and one of the nice regular customers came up to us and gave us a group hug. A co-worker actually started sobbing.

You have truly had The Day From Hell. You deserved that wine, and more!

Ye Gods, what an awful experience. I had some similar when I worked at Mom and Pop Pizza Place but not quite that bad, probably because we were a relatively small place and usually not mobbed at lunch every day or dinner every night. The last night that it happened to me, though...I quit

Wrong. No cookies for you!

I would usually ask for the wait time in a crowded restaurant before deciding whether to order or not. I remember hanging out with a friend once on a Friday night and we both wanted pizza. Three different pizza places all had the same wait time for pizza to be delivered---over an hour. To this, I replied each time cheerfully, "Okay, thanks anyway!"

We ended up going to an Arby's instead, where it took only four minutes for our meals to be cooked. But I couldn't help but wonder how many other customers at these pizza places were as understanding as I was.

Darn! Guess I'll get some candy instead

[Draper Mel]

Holy. Schnikees. Batman. I could never wait tables. I have no patience for bullshit.

I think Maggie's friend saved her life today.

The Vertigo imprint and the number 100 are popping into my head for some reason.

I'm debating typing up the rest of the SC's from this shift. In the past 24 hours, my head has become clearer and I am remembering more. It may take a while due to the fact that I may experience flashbacks.

Although there is a bit of good news. The schools in the area have just finished for a two week easter break. Normally the pub would immediately put me on full time hours seeing as I was free. Well, they have completely forgot that the schools are off, and have scheduled me for my normal baby shifts

I don't intended on correcting their mistake.

I'm so surprised that the first reaction from those parents is not "Oh my God, is Junior okay?" but "WE'RE SUING!!!" Oh wait, no I'm not.

[EricKei]

Do you want the banana marshmallow brownies or the peanut butter fudge ones?

Send me the recipe. I'll bake extras to send to CRML and ths crew ^_^

...After plenty of ...uhm...quality control...on my end, of course

Ding ding ding. 100 Bullets.

Go ahead and write it down. You'll feel better after exorcising those memories, and we'll all give the SCs the mockery they deserve.

[Bright_Star]

That you or anybody else working with you didn't snap at those SC's is a miracle.

[LillFilly]

Hole. E. Frack!

I think you've topped the stupid/entitled/bratty meter.

On the flip side, your manager is awesome! I wish I could see that tables faces as you took their food away from them! Funny how it became safe to eat once it was free, ehe?

Glad you survived.

[alowlypotato]

How...I...oh my gods!

You have the most special people in the world come into your pub. And by "special" I mean "so stupid and awful that it's beyond comprehension." I think I probably would have been sobbing alongside your co-worker if I'd had to endure all of that!

Egads. You deserve a month's vacation, with pay.
