To the guy who thinks he’s MORE special because he works in the mall and comes to get food from us every day:
YOU ARE NOT MORE SPECIAL THAN ANYONE ELSE! He came up, ordered two breakfast burritos and told me he wanted them for 99 cents each because he had coupons. I asked for the coupons and he said he didn’t have them with him, they were back in his store. I told him unless he had the coupons WITH him I couldn’t give him the special coupon price. He stared at me as if I were an idiot and told me he would BRING me the coupons later. I told him I couldn’t do the coupon price because they check the drawers for the correct amount of coupons and if I didn’t have the right amount of coupons, I’d get in trouble. "So I have to go alll the way back to my store and get my coupons?"he asked and I told him yes. He told me that it was bad customer service to do this to him because he came to our store all the time. I’m thinking “BFD! Just because you work in the mall and we are nice enough to give you coupons, doesn’t mean you are any more special than anyone else, asshole.” and so he goes to get the coupons. About 20 min later, he comes back all sweaty as if he ran to his store to get them and demands I give him his breakfast burritos. Fine. I rang up the burritos and took the coupons. He demanded to see a mgr, who wasn’t there at the time thank goodness.He wanted his burritos made FAST because he’d had to go ALLLLL the way back to his store to get his damned coupons. He told me I sucked, that my customer service sucked and that Sonic sucked in general. I’m still thinking Big Fucking Deal asshole. If you don’t like it, don’t come to my store. Moron. Just as he was leaving, Hassan showed up and he yelled at Hassan for 15 min or so but I didn’t put too much stock in his yelling or else Hassan told him what I told him and placated him with more coupons or something because he went away. We are actually NICE enough to pass out coupons to the mall tenants. We don’t have to,people.

I used to work at Six Flags in one of the concession stands. Sometimes the kids who worked in at the overpriced gift shops thought they were better than us fast-food workers (even though we got paid the same) and they would ask for free food.
I gave a girl a bag of cotton candy once and guess who got in trouble. Me!
monstro–He acted as if he were so superior to me because he works down the hall at a place where they have to BEG people to take stupid surveys and then reward them with coupons for places you’ll never go.
He told me “I done 100 surveys with you and you treat me this way?C’mon!”.
Most of the surveys I’ve done with them have resulted in either stupid coupons I’ll never use or lame $2.00 checks the bank looks at me funny for cashing.
I wasn’t about to get my ass in a sling for him. NO way in hell…not when I need this job to get by.
[hijack for iampunha ] Now that I"m getting ‘up there’ (by which I mean I have reached nearly 1/4 of a century) I have decided such things are completely stupid looking on me and have no use for them.[/hijack]
Oh! Holy dog here we go again. Just to save time and bandwidth I going to post a link to the last monthly “I hate my job” rant. So that we don’t waste our time trying to be nice and helpful to I_Dig_Bad_Boys, only to watch her stamp her foot and whine.
I have a strict “No cute-ing your way into my good graces for outrageous favors” policy. You must be my actual girlfriend and be willing to give me actual kisses for me to be willing to bend over backwards because you are acting all flirty and implying romantic favors in return for my gifts.
Breakfast burritos are actually pretty good, assuming you’ve made them with good ingredients. Personally, I can’t wrap my head around having FISH for breakfast, but it’s just the way I was raised. Tortillas are a very flexible food item, both literally and figuratively.
Okay, I can understand him ranting about both you and your customer service, but why the hell was he dissing the world’s favourite blue hedgehog? Is his name Mario? Or Dr. Robotnik?
Sonic is a midwestern American fast foodery, Kal. Typically, they’re drive-in establishments, where you eat in your car, but apparently IDBB works in a location that’s inside of a shopping mall.
FCM–don’t be and for the love of pete, don’t EVER let your daughter work there if the one I work at is typical of all their resteraunts…bad food, bad pay, standing on your feet for hours on end with no breaks…hell on rollerskates.
Um. You said this guy said he ate at your place all the time, right? So why didn’t he just pay full price this time, and bring/use the sacred coupons on his next visit?
Maybe you should try the whole “remain zen” thing when it comes to a situation no more worrying than some tool and his coupons (or not) for breakfast burritos.
SbS–because the same thing had happened on his LAST visit, or so I overheard when he started yelling at Hassan (an asst mgr). Apparently on his last visit, he was forced to pay the full Mall Employee price (which is regular price with 10% off) and got upset because a couple of other mall employees who were in line ahead of/beside him had gotten THEIR burritos for 99 cents because THEY had coupons. He didn’t have coupons and complained so one of the asst mgrs (Issac) gave him some coupons to make him shut up. He had forgotten his coupons AGAIN and wanted the same special treatment as last time, I suppose.
Breakfast burritos are wonderful. Scrambled eggs and cheese with either sausage, bacon or potatoes…checks clock Too late for one today.
How much money did this guy run like hell to save, IDBB? Perhaps I’m overly spoiled, but even in my mall-working days I would have considered it worthy trade to get my breakfast when I wanted it rather than half an hour later.
