SIGHTING

Was down at a little sandwich shop getting my lunch. Should be a nice, non-eventful trip there and back, yes?
Well no, no that is not how it went down. I was not personally involved but I was witness to the following exchange:

The Stupid Customer is a guy, probably around 40, dressed to the nines in designer gear, gleaming white teeth, hair slicked back....a real cool cat - in his mind, anyway ;)
The other player in this scene is the lovely little lady behind the counter serving. I often get food from there - she looks to be around 55, very quiet, a bit timid, but SO polite and always makes sure your order is perfect, reaches you quickly, and leaves you with a nice smile and wishes you a lovely day

So.

Stupid Customer - "Yeah, so listen, gimme a large burger meal, I want extra fries, gimme lots of sauce, throw in a pie, and I wanna coke as well"

Lovely lady behind counter - "Yes sir, that will be just a few moments. And your total comes to $18.60"

*Stupid Customer ignores here, she goes about getting his order together and comes back quickly with it. She hands it to him*

Stupid Customer - "Good, here, gimme"

*he then starts chowing into the burger, taking huge bights, opens the coke and takes a few big swigs, starts shoving chips in his mouth. All the while the lady is standing there with a little smile on her face, waiting patiently for him to pay. He just stands there being a pig, now holding up the line*

Lovely lady behind the counter - "Um, so that was $18.60 please sir?"

*he looks at her, goes back to eating, still at the counter*

Lovely lady behind the counter - [she is now glancing around nervously, and says in an even more quiet voice] "Um...okay...so sir that will be $18.60 please sir?"

Stupid Customer - "Yeah listen, I forgot my wallet today so I'm just going to pay the next time I'm around here. That's alright, yeah?"

And with that, he grabbed the rest of his meal and just walked off.
Poor lady looked like she was about to cry.
What an A*SHOLE

  2. And that is why you never hand the food to someone before they pay. >_< Most fast food places I've been at won't ever start making anything when you order at the counter until you've paid for it.

    Too bad for the lady - it's a sad lesson in not trusting people.
