Sweet (Tea) Out Of (Pot) Luck
FAST FOOD, HOLIDAYS, IMPOSSIBLE DEMANDS, JERK | RIGHT | DECEMBER 24, 2009
(We are having our annual Christmas party/potluck dinner one Sunday night at our fast food restaurant. I’ve placed signs showing we are closed and have blocked off the drive-thru. One of my fellow employees notices a man standing at the counter.)
Me: “Hi, sir, can I help you with something?”
Customer: “I have been standing here for five minutes and I haven’t been helped! Give me a number one with a sweet tea.”
Me: “Well, we are closed on Sundays. This is our Christmas Party.”
Customer: “Closed? All the lights are on!”
Me: “Yes, we need them for the party.”
Customer: “I have never heard of such a thing. So I can’t get that number one?”
Me: “No, sir. All of our machines are off. We are closed.”
Customer: “What about a sweet tea?”
Me: “Sir, we are closed. We don’t have anything we can give to customers.”
(The customer sees our buffet-style employee potluck.)
Customer: “Well, can I get a plate?”
