If only I had wings . . . by invisible @ NuTang.com
Rude People
Monday. 3.4.13 7:43 pm
I have taken a liking to this place at a near by shopping area. It's called Tropical Smoothies Cafe. They make some pretty bangin' smoothies. My little man and I went there today to pick up an acia berry smoothie and I whitnessed quite a sight. While waiting for my delicious smoothie, a middle aged woman came storming back into the store with a sandwich she had ordered. She slammed the little basket of food onto the counter and told the cashier it wasn't what she had ordered. "I said no tomato or lettuce! Both of which are on my sandwich!" The young, petite, spanish woman stood there with her eyes wide open not knowing what to say. The British woman ranted on about her order being incorrect as the other employee's came out to see what all the fuss was about. She removed the top piece of bread from her sandwish and picked up a slice of tomato and then a pinch of lettuce. "I didn't want this or that! I specifically said no tomato or lettuce!!!" Everyone becomes silent and turns thier attention towards the counter. This woman was being obnoxiously rude. Her behavior was completely unnecessary. Suddenly, a middle aged american woman (who was sitting alone eating her lunch) stood up and approached the rude woman. She got in her face and calmly, yet firmly, told her off. Don't you talk to these girls that way. It was a simple mistake. Treat them like human beings and show some respect! By the way, I was standing 3 feet away from this arguement holding my son. The american woman called the rude woman a jerk and told her to go back where she came from. She stormed out and everyone cheered on the defender. I was waiting for fists to fly. Things got heated in there. I give that woman props for standing up for the workers of Tropical Smoothies Cafe. It was pretty epic. I have nothing against British people. Her being British had nothing to do with it. But, the nerve of some people! I don't understand why people have to be so rude and behave like a children.

It was pretty funny to watch it all unfold.

Anyway, today has been pretty boring other than that. I have a mountain of laundry to fold. Yay... So, off I go!

Good for that lady who said something. I'm always amazed how people can completely forget that service workers are human. It's really just... wow.

Having been in the food service industry, I always feel bad when I have to return food after someone messes up on my order. I tend to be very apologetic when I have to ask them to make it again because I know it's taking away from someone else's order. Good for that lady for standing up for the worker.

well, i would have just removed the lettuce and tomato and tell the counter to be careful with future orders so i don't have to waste food.

recently, my mushroom burger in a high end restaurant got burned. the bun was so burned that it's black. i could not eat. my heart aches because my mind drifted to the people who r starving at another end of the world and here i could not eat my bun.

Wow... I wouldn't have had the guts. I feel like that's how you get smacked in the face. Good for her, though. At least someone said it.

That woman who stood up to that rude lady really is a voice for all the food-industry workers, haha~ Those jobs are more often than not miserable but a perfect balance of worker's competence and understanding customers is much to aspire to.
