He was furious that I wouldn't call the sales rep and tell her he was there to see her. I tried explaining she was with another client at the moment and I would let her know as soon as she was available that he was there to see her. I even offered him free cookies while he waited (not my cookies, actual chocolate chip cookies) He told me I should be fired and then asked me if my finger was broken and demanded I use it to pick up the phone and call her. Little did this gentleman know that the person I worked for allowed each of his employees permission to tell one customer per year to go eff themselves. I held up my middle finger in his face and said, "No, this finger seems to be working just fine. See?" <br /><br />Everybody has bad days but its not cool to take it out on people working in the service industry.

The cook was out back smoking or jacking off in the bathroom or something and the waitress was alone. There were two men on the other end of the restaurant and me. This was before the condiments were placed on the tables as a fixture and she forgot to ask, or bring any steak-sauce. She was at the other end talking to the two men, so I walked over to the counter and picked up a bottle. She looked up and said, "I would have got that for you." Then lower, for the benefit of the two men, "Asshole!" I walked back to my table and picked up my plate and threw it at her and told her, "That is what an asshole would do." The two men started to get up but I told them it was none of their business and not worth dying over. They set back down. And it was over a year before I went back in that store again. Then only after one of my regular waitresses told me she got fired after a phone call to complain about her was filed. I didn't tell her it was me that made the call.Coffeypothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944074653548750642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-58515747517607061872012-12-12T08:50:11.590-05:002012-12-12T08:50:11.590-05:00No, I haven't, and I don't want to, either...No, I haven't, and I don't want to, either.
