we opened at 11 this morning. i watched an old man literally pry the fucking sliding doors open at 10:43 and stand there just staring into the empty store and my coworker & i were like sir. for the love of fuck
I worked in a restaurant for while and a woman climbed past an A board sign, ignored the sign on a the door saying the opening times and trotted on in.
When told we were not open she asked why the door was unlocked. My manager explained that it has to be unlocked when people are in the building to comply with fire regulations. Which lead to my favourite exchange with a customer:
Woman: But there are no people in here.
Manager: Madam. The staff count as people.
Woman: That’s ridiculous. *Storms out*“The staff count as people” has me dead
One time, and keep in mind, because I am the assistant manager at a pizza place, I have to go in early to make sure everything is in working order and help clean with the janitors.
This one fucking time, a man with five kids pulled up into the pizza place. I didn’t think much of it because the waffle place, ‘Honeycomb Heights’, was popular with the locals. Just as I was about to go and check the back, the man just walks in, and yells ‘ARE YOU OPEN YET?!’
Just by looking at him I could tell he was one of those entitled fucks. I smile calmly.
“No, sir. It’s morning. We don’t open until at least 11:30.”
“But yer door was open.”
“Yes, for fire hazard. I have to leave it open.”
“Can you take orders?”
“I can’t, sir. The staff have to do that.”
One of the little kids starts whining and the dad is slowly getting angrier at me.
“And you’re not staff?”
“No, sir. Assistant manager.”
“What? Afraid to get your hands dirty?”
“No, it’s just-”
“Lazy little chick. I’ll take one pepperoni-”
Thankfully, a coworker comes in and helps me get the guy out, who was now threatening us to give us a bad rating.
To this day I still wish a terrible curse upon him.
