Finally, when things are slow and you find yourself roaming aimlessly around the restaurant, don't stop and shake your head when you see that Meredith has thrown rice and chicken onto the floor. Until I saw your head shake, I was totally planning on picking up the chicken and rice. When I saw the shake, I not only decided to not pick up the floor chicken, but I began to drip food from my own mouth onto the floor. Also, because it makes me laugh, I encouraged Jeff to "Eat Like a Shark!!" which involves me throwing huge handfuls of chicken and rice at him as he dives across the table and tries to bite off my arm. It's a messy game, but it's also a scream! Do you realize that the shaking of your head created more work for you? It's funny how that works.

What a bitch. Seriously.

Raving bitch. Because god forbid an employee be irritated by someone making a mess in their restaurant and OH NOES shake their head.

Also, I hate people who say "It's funny how that works" right after being hypersensitive and throwing a fucking hissy fit in the guise of teaching someone a 'lesson'. Yeah, the lesson is that they don't know how to interact with human beings. Of all the vile, smug little phrases.

*Assuming this actually happened and that her later backpedeling "I believe in fiction" was just a spineless lie, because that's more fun.

Her mentality is so preschool. "You (perceivably) wronged me, so I'm going to retaliate in the most childish way possible. But it's JUSTICE, damn it!"

People who blame other people for their dumbass behavior annoy me. She didn't HAVE to make such a mess. She did it out of spite. I don't buy it was a fake story. I think she just backpedaled like crazy when she realized not everyone was going to applaud her.

I know people like that in real life, and they just need a really hard slap in the face. (Maybe it wouldn't help but it'd make me feel better... and that's JUSTICE.)

"It was just a joke! You just have no sense of humor! Why do you hate meeeeee!"

If it was, um 'fiction,' she shouldn't have presented it as something that actually happened and expected people to use their magic psychic powerz to figure it out.

Well, we customer service people have no sense of humor, you know. The fact that many of us, not even in food service, have experienced people who would, in fact, do just that, is apparently irrelevant.

...then again, the world revolves around her and her family, so we shouldn't be surprised that she doesn't realize she'd strike a nerve in thousands of people if they happened across her 'ficlet.'

Lois McMaster Bujold, goddess fantasy writer. Well known for her Miles Vorkosigan universe and works (which are actually sci-fi and excellent as well). In this case I was referring to The Curse of Chalion/Paladin of Souls/The Hallowed Hunt in which there are demons that posess animals and then people and, well, eat their souls.

So... You could be one of these clever little mouse-demons posessing a human host and eating his/her soul, see?

...sorry, I just got/read Hallowed Hunt which sparked re-reading the others and they're really, really good. :)

Naturally the 'head shake' had to do with her daughter because the universe revolves around her children. It's impossible that the first 'shake' didn't have anything to do with her daughter.

And the second shake, you deserved it honey.

"She'll have a crispy chicken meal with grilled chicken instead of crispy," don't interrupt me with a boisterous, "FOR HERE OR TO GO?!?!?!?!"

Has this woman been living under a rock? I'm not sure why asking a common simple question is a cardinal sin but I guess since she didn't fawn over her daughter she's a horrible, evil person.

Oh, yes. Sighing because, damn, there's rice and chicken on the floor might be considered unprofessional, but certainly isn't unreasonable.

And her vindictiveness over the "For here or to go" thing... ten to one she began it by talking over the cashier who needed to know it to input the order status in the computer. Not to mention it appears from the dialogue that she stated what her daughter was going to have and the cashier asked that question during a pause. It doesn't look like she cut the woman off, or anything, just a mild interruption like you get anywhere when they need that information for the order.

Hell, last time I was at MickeyD's and went inside because the line for the drive through was obnoxiously long, that's what happened. I wasn't offended -- I was a trifle embarassed not to have led off with the relevant information, though.

Frankly, I don't care whether it's a fictionalized account or not, she comes across as a raging torrent of unreasonable bitchiness.

	Whether or happened or not, that whole "eat like a shark" thing is just gross. And if Jeff is a grown adult instead of her kid, like I thought at first, it's just creepy. And if she really did make it up in an attempt to be funny, that's just sad. And "Fluid Pudding" is a really disturbing name. Crawling skin: 4 Fluid Pudding: 0 (Reply to this)

For her bitchery, she shall be burned at the stake as the bitch she is. /obscure referance.

her 'it was a joke' reeks of such dubiousness that there's next to nhil that it was in fact all a joke.

Feeling slighted by register attendants is ney a license to be a messy prat.
I wish her the best of luck in developing ovarian cancer so she will at a disadvantage of creating another offspring (accidentally or intentionally).

This presumes that the server actually ignored the kid as opposed to failing to hear/notice her saying thank you. Mind, I think the server was a prat, too, but not at a level that deserved this little 'fantasy' reaction.

This, I note, is why I'd rather be a prostitute than a service worker.

When you're a hooker, people *still* expect you to fawn all over them, but it's more reasonable of them to do so. And you probably get paid better.

Yes, but service workers are not superhuman, either. There are dozens of things that can distract a person in service for the moment that someone says something. Anything from background noise to the fact that they've run out of something important in the back of the store can interfere with their attention.

Should she have responded to the kid? Yes, absolutely, she should have. Thing is, the fact she didn't does not inherently make her rude or even a normally bad server. It does make her human.

That's what has most of the customers_suck sorts up in arms. None of us are perfect. We have off days. We can be distracted, exhausted, zoning out, what-have-you. The assumption that we even *can* be automatons reponding perfectly in every situation is grossly unfair. Should we do our jobs to the best of our ability? Of course. It's what we're paid for. Sometimes, though, we make mistakes, fail to hear something, or respond in some way because we're not robots -- we're humans. Perfection is something we may strive for but we're unlikely to reach it.

I'm not trying to excuse anyone's bad behavior. Frankly both customer and server sound like asstards. The server behaved badly, whatever her reasons for it might have been, but the adult response is to talk to the server directly, or to management about it.

I won't apologize for not finding the 'fictionalized' account any funnier than the guy who said he thought drop-kicking babies was amusing. I've had friends who were waitstaff tell me about experiences almost identical to this 'fantasy' except the customers did it for no other reason than they could -- to the point of being angry when they were ejected from the restraunt by management.
