David Bigcheeseplant Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 I am glad it’s not just me who meets these people! I have just remembered another thing that happened a few years back while getting some lunch at Scalefourum. The person in front of me in the queue asked for a plate of chips only to be told by the lady serving we only do chips as part of a main meal ok said the chap looking at the board behind I will have fish and chips then, sorry came the reply we have run out of fish!

Ashcombe Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The other side of the coin? I know this is a discussion about illogical answers but customers can present illogical requests, according to my son who used to work at Burglar Thing. He often served overweight people who, having ordered a long list of (inevitably, given it was a burger bar) unhealthy, fattening items would round it off with , "Oh and a Diet Coke, please!" to which he would liked to have quipped, "Is there any point?" In fact, he considered suggesting to the management that they should adopt a policy of refusing to serve those who appeared to have had more than their share of fast food, much as bar staff might refuse to serve a drinker who appeared to have had one too many! Sometimes, customers would insist that they had previously bought a particular meal deal at BK which had never been served by that chain. Rather than enter into a prolonged debate, the staff would generally say, "Oh, we've stopped doing that option now." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Reminds me of a former boss, lovely guy, he usually had one eye, but one only, on his diet. One day we were having lunch at a customers canteen. He loads up his tray with a massive roast, loads of spuds, sponge pudding and half a gallon of custard. Big mug of tea. We're paying at the till and he's looking for something, says to the lady without any irony, " Have you got any sweetner?". She looks at his calorie laden tray and says, "Are you effin' joking".

PLD Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Just had another 'autopilot ' example at the supermarket... "do you want any cash back?" the checkout girl asked So tempted to say "Yes £50 please!" but actually said "just the change from the £10 note I've just handed you..."
