Interesting discussion: i understand your plight but there are just some snooty people who refuse to read the rules because they "don't apply to them" because they are
I agree with you, I work at a Panera and I will NEVER mess with someone about sizes like that... if they want to order a Grande, Largo, or Venti (granted, we don't even sell things in Venti size), they can. But if they choose to be a normal person and say medium, that works just as well.t0mme post=18.70218.690909 said:Nah, that post just brings a little balance to the whole thread.ThaBenMan post=18.70218.690310 said:This story makes you look like a dick and a hypocrite. You kinda started the whole thing by not acknowledging the sizes are the same. And before you were bitching about snotty customers - well, this time, that was you. You blew the whole thing out of proportion and got somebody fired, and seem to be proud of it no less. Good job.TheNecroswanson post=18.70218.685624 said:I love messing with Starbucks.
Me and my firend go in for some cool drinks. The lady greets us and asks us what we want.
"I would like a large orange mocha frappuchino (SP?)."
"You mean a venti?"
"No, orange mocha frappuchino please."
"No, venti is the size. Did you mean you wanted a venti?"
"No, I think I'll stick with the large, I'm not too terribley thirsty."
"Sir, a venti is a large." And she gave me the 'some people' tone. Which I picked up on immediately, and gave her my own rageful tone.
"REALLY!? Is it now? Then you should have no problem ringing me up for a large orange mocha frappuchino."
"Sir, it's venti here."
"WHERE? You mean in America?"
"It's Itallian sir."
"Is it now? I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that I walked into an American franchise and was suddenly transported to Italy. Eddie, go tell me what that red sign out there says."
I give her a smug look as my friend walks out, she tried best to look at me without making eye contact, having probably realsied the tone she gave me just got her fired.
My friend walks back in. "It says....Arresto."
My jaw dropped.
"HOLY SHIT! We ARE in Italy. Omygodomygodohmygod how will we get home!? I don't have any money, I don't speak Itallian-"
"Here you go sir, one large orange mocha frappuchino." The manager hands me it laughing.
"Oh, thank you. Hey, uh, you know where we can catch a train to Stockholm?"
"No, you guys have a good day."
We then sat down at one of their tables and played checkers. I heard the manager say to the lady at the register, "Turn in your hat and your name tag."

No like math.aswiftlytiltingreality post=18.70218.691188 said:Okay, here's the deal the item she wanted was misplaced and put on a 40% off rack when it was really 30% off the price. So, I took the extra 40% off. Then she said That wasn't right and that it only came out to 50% off (the item was ten dollars, which means when I rang it up it was 4 dollars with tax). So me and the manager had to spend twenty minutes showing her how exactly 40% on top of that 30% was equal to 70%, which meant the item was then three dollars. Then we added the sales tax. The entire time, she stood there and shook her head and continued to say, "No, No, No."Cyclomega post=18.70218.690997 said:If I'm right you mean 40% off then 30% off again by saying 40 plus 30. In fact it tallies up to less than 70% (example = 100 with 40% off = 60; 60 with 30% off = 42; compare 100 with 70% off = 30).aswiftlytiltingreality post=18.70218.690875 said:I once had a customer argue that 40% off plus 30% off was not 70% off and that I hadn't given them the complete percentage off. So, I gave them another ten off and told them they were the dumbest person I'd ever met and that they needed to use the money they'd saved from their purchase to go buy a helmet.

No, we do not sell Ice Cream, noticed the deep fryers?
No, we do not have sausages, as clearly marked on the signs.
No, I do not set the prices, and yes, stuff is expensive. Deal with it.
No, I cannot give you discounts or free chips. This is not a flea market.
It honestly cannot come as a surprise for you that you have to order when reaching the counter, please consider this when you stand in line for the 15-20 min. that you might have to on busy days.
Some people don't like to be shoved or have you standing right in their neck, so please don't.
Your kids are annoying when they scream, please seat them before you get in line.
Money from other countries is not valid here. Please stop giving me it as if it were.
A queue is a line where the first person gets served first, not a hurdle race.
The exit to the queue is blocked by a door that opens one way. This does not mean that you can use it as an entrance.
No, I cannot serve you if you place an order by the window where we give the food, you'll have to come to the register.
The fourth time you order a large draught beer within the hour, you might want to consider that this is a kid's park, you drunken bastard.
