Why the 15 second rule at Argo Tea? Any thoughts on how to follow up?

RDRR

The Soup Nazi just sent you away without soup; he didn’t bring down the law on you.

I thought the 15 second rule for tea was when they spilled it on the floor and had 15 seconds to squeegee it back into your cup and still be able to serve it to you without undue fear of germs.

Just order some fuckin tea and get on with your life.

Tea Party motto!

Just order the tea. Why are you taking oolong?

I see what you did there.

Fact. Bears eat beets.

Yet another example of teabagger racism.

I’m completely satisfied that there is no additional information beyond what is posted in the OP that would change my mind that [REDACTED] is a terrible, racist employee who should be fired.

If my memory serves, [REDACTED] was also on the White House Watergate tapes. I think [REDACTED] may have sought a job in the GW Bush Administration, but it give me some solace to know that [REDACTED] is no longer manipulating the levers of national power, and instead [REDACTED]'s authority extends merely to a tea restaurant – as horrible as that tyranny may be.

Agreed - I’d go there.

Especially at 7:45 on a weekday morning when the 10 people in line behind you just want to get their coffee and get to work on time.

I will say however that this could easily be remedied if the shop made one line for coffee/tea/hot cocoa/whatever ONLY (during peak periods maybe). But they can run their shop how they see fit.

Operate Yam Ogler.

I’ve also heard that [REDACTED] picks his nose in public.

I worked all night and haven’t had a nap yet. Is that why I’m completely bewildered, or is it because the op makes no sense at all? What is Argo? Why are they so radical about tea? How do you racially profile a tea drinker? Someone please be kind to me, I’m exhausted and confused.

I knew [REDACTED]. I worked with [REDACTED]. You sir, are no [REDACTED]

One needs to be careful before calls of racism, sexism etc.

Just because someone treats you like shit or is an ass doesn’t mean the he/she is racist. He/she might just be a shitass.

I’ve noticed this among people I know - they automatically assume someone is sexist or racist when I am also treated like shit by this person and so is Joe over there and Bob over there.

Argot Tea… argot thé… our GOATSE… Arlo Guthrie… dammit, I know we can crack this, but we’re running out of time!

Why bother?

[REDACTED]

:o

Also, please come back and elaborate. I’m willing to entertain the possibility that ol’ whasisface is a terrible racist bastard, but I’m going to need some further information. Did the employee use racist language? What, specifically, leads you to think that he/she is racist (as opposed to, say, just being a prick)?

You’ve never heard of Assama bin Laden, leader of Al Chaida?
