I must say when I first saw them, I thought to myself "Oh lord, They're gonna be a huge pain in my ass." They were three guys, in about their early twenties, dressed like they just came out of Compton. Now I think for most people, this sets off some alarms. I was in Defcon 5, ready to take everything they can dish out. One of them was wearing an iPod, and the leader of the group smacks the iPod guy on the head and says
"Damn it man, how many times do I gotta tell ya, to show some damn respect and take that crap off when you're about to order a meal. You think the guy up front wants to deal with an asshole that's too busy listening to his music to know what's going on?"
The guy took his iPod off, and the following ensued:
Me: Shocked beyond words
LM: Lead Man
Me: Hello welcome to Tyranical Meat Market, may I help you?
LM: Hey how ya doin'?
Me: Pretty good, you?
LM: Can't complain. Sorry about my friend over there, he has no respect for people.
Me: It's no problem.
LM: *orders*
Me: That'll be XX.XX, for here or to go?
LM: For here. *hands a 20*
Me: Here's your change.
LM: Nah, you keep it, you don't get paid near enough to deal with the customers you get. I used to work here, I know.
I got like a $5 tip. It was people like him, who talked to me like I was a person not a machine who made it worthwhile to work there.
