    That's mine

    8:03, I'm wrapping the chicken and throwing out the wedges.
    SC: Can I get some chicken?
    Me: Sorry, it's all put away
    SC: What about that? (Points to a Styrofoam container)
    Me: That's not for sale
    SC: Well, I want it. I'm hungry
    Me: That's my supper, and we're closed.
    SC: I'm a paying customer, I want that food.
    Me: It's mine.

    Simple as that, I walk away, turning off the lights as I go.

    Managers just chuckle.



    Seriously, what makes someone think that I'm perfectly willing to give up my food because they're hungry? News flash: I'm hungry too! I just worked the last 2½ through dinner alone.
    I've been here for two years, work harder than most others, and I'm getting paid $1.80 an hour
    less than the 17 year old slacker you hired two months ago. Maybe that's why I'm not chipper at work.

        Well, let's see. It's MY food. It's NOT for sale. Therefore, you aren't paying anything. As to being a customer, unless you're buying something else in this store, you don't qualify. Have a nice night.

          Heh.

          And I try to be so nice...
          "I'd like a chicken sandwich" "It'll be about 4 minutes, is that ok?" "Oh, aren't those patties there?" "Honestly, you don't want those. I just haven't gotten around to throwing them out"

          If it's a type of chicken >I'll< eat, I try to give other people good pieces too. I have no qualms about selling six-hour-old chicken legs, but I'll be damned if I serve an old chicken tenderloin.

              Yeah, I'd have sold it to them.

                Something similar happened to me. I brought in a bottle of coke to drink on my break, so I put it in one of the fridges to keep it cool. A customer comes up to the bar, sees the bottle of coke and gasps

                SC: I knew it! I knew you sold coke!

                We dont, we only sell Pepsi.

                Me: Ah thats mine, I brought it from home, we only sell Pepsi.
                SC: Can I have it?
                Me: No...
                SC: Why not?
                Me: I paid for it, if you take it, I need to buy one here.
                SC: So what you're saying is it's ok for me to pay the price for Pepsi but its not OK for you to do it?
                Me: Well...yes actually.

                  When I worked at the pizza place, employees often made their own "personal pizzas" out of the breadsticks (the breadsticks we had were all stuck together instead of separated). They would just have to make it themselves.

                  Well, one employee made one of these and was getting it out of the oven. Now, the cut table is visible to the customers and an older guy saw the pizza-stick and said he wanted one. The girl taking his order said, "those are for employees only . . ." Well he started bitching about how he wanted one (and he was ordering a whole pizza too, if I remember correctly). She reluctantly agreed, since he was getting bitchy about it but she charged him her own prices. He paid it too, luckily for us, he never came back asking for another.

                    Another case of "I just don't get people." I could see myself in the same position, but it would've gone differently...

                    FD: Can I get some chicken?
                    Me: Sorry, it's all put away
                    FD: What about that? (Points to a Styrofoam container)
                    Me: That's not for sale
                    FD: How come?
                    Me: That's my supper, and we're closed.
                    FD: Oh, okay. Thanks anyway. (goes off to find something else or goes somewhere else)

                    What's wrong with being realistic/flexible instead of going into the "I WANNIT!" crap I'd expect from a two-year-old? I mean, store policy applies to you too, moron. Besides, I would imagine any chicken left at the end of the evening would be a bit on the dry side anyway, unless this guy would also be trolling for a discount because of that - wouldn't surprise me.
                    Civilized men tend to be ruder than savages because they know they can be impolite without getting their skulls split, as a rule.

                      You should have snatched it off the table with both hands and started snarling at the guy. Or pull out a piece and lick it.

                        What are the prices of Pepsi and Coke in your area? I've always thought that Coke was the more expensive of the two. At least, it is around here anyway.

                          I'm not sure about the prices of coke, but I do know its more expensive, yet people still complain we dont do it.

                            Okay, I misread the post. I thought the SC wanted to buy your Coke from you. Rereading it I can see that he wanted you to give it to him. That makes more sense.
