For those who have been paying attention, I work food service at a place that is a hybrid of fast food and a restaurant in a small airport. It’s like a cafeteria except we have a kitchen. If you haven’t been paying attention, well, there you go.
And I’ve also ranted before how since summer started, we get a lot of American customers. A lot of them are nice and pleasant, but once in a while, I get dumb jerkfaces who ask me if the price is in American. I usually just tell them it’s in Canadian. Some ask me to conver their money for them, and that’s when I have to do some dreaded mental math. Still, most of them just hand over an American ten that would cover their meal.
Today, I had a bitch ask for American change. Now, I’ve had this happen before, and there’s a big sign that says “All change is given in Canadian currency”, but obviously, this illiteral fool didn’t read the sign, and when I stated what the sign said, she started berating me about why not. I had American currency in the till, and I could give her change. I was stupid for working in a fast food place and couldn’t do simple math to give her back her change in American. I was a bitch for not succumbing store policy. I stood there and took it for about half a minute before someone in line behind her said “Hey lady, you’re in Canada.” For that, I would like to thank him.
But no, the pussbag would not shut up. Thinking because she’s American and owns the world, she hopes that when I go to the States, the same situation happens and I am stuck like she is. (Note: I’ve been to Seattle countless times and I have never had to encounter the same situation because I know to fucking EXCHANGE my money when going into a country with foreign currency) And then she made a comment about how if she went to China, she would be able to get American change back. I would hope that she didn’t mention that because I am Asian, but who knows? She could have been an ignorant cuntface to make a racist comment against me.
I get many customers who are impatient jackasses and I have to deal with a lot of shit, so this obviously wasn’t a big deal. I was not about to lose my cool over a jerkwad like her. I had already given back her change and I owed her no money so as soon as she saw that she was not going to berate me into giving in, I hoped she would leave.
And this is the part where it gets me really angry. My manager came out from the back to see what the fuss was about. And the bitch was all “She won’t give me back American change.” And what does the fucking idiot do? He overrides store policy and fucking gives her the change in American. :mad: As if that isn’t bad enough, he just said to me “Just let them have their way. Next time, just give them what they want or they’ll make a fuss.” Garg. This is one manager speaking. If I did what he did in front of another manager, I would be chewed out by him/her.
Like I said, I work in an airport, the turnover rate of customers is extremely high. I would probably not have seen that bitch again, and my co-workers wouldn’t have either. So, to please a customer that wouldn’t return, he pissed me off to the point that I was so seething with anger I couldn’t do my work properly. I am overwise a very efficient minimum wage drone.
So, way to manage, dillhole! :mad: :mad: :mad:
