So I Gave A Guy A Thumbs Up. Big Deal.
April (My manager): “Hey, can these two move to another table? They have some friends over there and want to sit next to them.”
Customer: “Yea, it’s nothing against you, it’s just that we…”
Me: “Dude, it’s alright. I’d do the same thing.”
(They leave)
Female Customer at table: “I thought that was very rude.”
Me: “Uh…huh?”
Wife: “The way you and your manager talked about them in front of them.”
Me: “I…uh…don’t get it?”
Wife: “And you gave them a thumbs up when they left. Very rude.”
Me: (Confused)
Wife: “And that LOOK you’re giving me! That’s rude TOO!”
Me: “Ma’am, I’m giving you the same look your husband is.”
Wife: “You can’t back me up just once, can you?”
Husband: “Check, please.”

It’s not like you called him “sport” or “champ.”

And I don’t think it’s any of her business what SHE thought was rude that YOU did to SOMEONE ELSE, although I see no rudeness. And I doubt you had a sarcastic tone of voice that could possibly be mistaken as rude. This is why I love stupid people… they give the rest of us a reason to feel smart

Some people just aren’t happy unless they can pick apart a non-existent problem and totally ruin every one else’s day.

Some people just NEED to complain about something. Anything. Like today, some lady’s total was $1.07 and she hands me a 100 dollar bill. We are not allowed to take any bill over a 50, which is posted on signs ALL OVER the cash registers. I said, “Ma’am…I’m sorry, but I cannot accept anything over a 20 dollar bill.” She immediately curses me out on the spot and says, “I’m buying cards somewhere else from NOW ON!” I said, “OK, that’s fine.” She then SCREAMS at me, “DO YOU TAKE A GOD DAMN CHECK?”
Me: “Uhhhh…yes, we do. But I thought you weren’t going to purchase cards from us anymore?”
Her: “WHAT IS MY TOTAL????”
She then writes me a check, bitching the whole time. She throws the check at me and leaves.
I should totally blog like you.

Jesus, people are fucked up. You should have given her husband a thumbs up. LOL!

Next time, tell her she’s being cute. If she gets huffy, tell her she’s being a bad girl and that you might need to spank her.

As Kris stated, you should have given the bitch’s husband a thumbs up, then given her the finger!

As a sage once said, “Women are a peculiar bunch.”
Or something like that…
