Yesterday I was at work, and for those of you who don't know, I work at a fast food place which allows me the company of a variety of the general population. You have the old and "I don't know what I want, but if I have to pay more than what I think is a nickle more i'll scream!", you have the in a hurry "FUCK MAN I'VE BEEN WAITING A WHOLE FIVE MINUTES WHAT THE FUCK IS TAKING SO LONG!" You have the "No speak any english!" and the occasional Spanish accent yet doesn't speak english or spanish, actually that was just one really weird guy who looked like a mexican version of that guy who obsessed about his stapler in office space. He even acted like him, I'm dead serious. Any who, that's just a sample, but today the subject is the youth portion that makes up a good portion because young people have nothing better to do, or nowhere better to go, than a fast food place 80% of the time. And of course they come in laughing, order every 99 cent item on the menu (which would equate to an entire combo if they weren't stupid) leave a huge mess thinking it was funny, rinse and repeat.
The people I speak of did none of that, they were just retarded, but perhaps I should paint you a picture first..
There I was, on the graveyard shift, exactly fifteen minutes till close, hoping, PRAYING no asshole comes in. Mostly because I had just finished cleaning the lobby, and it would suck to have to do it again. Well, in waltzes two emo fags and two scene girls, that i'd do jail time for, ANYWAY! The fags take their sweet ass time on the menu, looking it over and over and over again, while i'm just standing there thinking off into space about random crap. The girls both decided to go to the bathroom in the middle of it, in that typical double date fashion girls do. Well, while the girls were in the bathroom, the guys were just standing there, which I presumed they knew what they wanted but it turned out they didn't, because as soon as the girls got back the guys commenced that "i'm not sure what I want" stare and pointing.
Eventually the guys asked the girls "uhh so what's our limit?" which confused me, but the girls retorted "Five bucks each" and then they decided to order (which was like three jr bacon cheeseburgers and a small drink each) the girls just ordered two small fries and two small drinks. And then the girls paid for these emo fags. I was some what shocked, but not surprised if that makes any sense. However I got over it, because I honestly didn't know these people nor did I care to get involved with their lives any more than I already have. I gave them their drink cups and told them the obligatory "It'll be right out" and they all had a seat at the booth closest to the counter, which meant I could joyfully listen to their amusing anecdotes, and witty retort.
They were mostly talking about people they knew and how it was funny some obvious whore got pregnant. Which I tuned out for the most part, and eventually their food was up, but I was busy cleaning something and decided to wait till I was finished to hand out their food. When it was then they started to talk about Transformers the movie. I had recently seen this movie and thought it was an excellent movie, so I was more than afraid of what some obvious harry potter fags might think of a movie so good. So I listened in and the conversation went as so..
Emo fag one "Yeah it was a good movie wasn't it guys?"
Emo fag two "Yeah definitely, nice linkin park at the end right?"
Scene Girl one "Yeah totally OMG I like love linkin park!"
Scene Girl two "Omg yeah, but some of their stuff is boring to me."
then they got into a discussion of Linkin Park and at this point I was getting their food onto a tray to take it to them, when Emo Fag One shifted the convo back to transformers, and eventually said a line that had me laughing hysterically.
I was half way to them to hand them their food when I heard this guy say
Emo Fag one "Yeah that movie was so good, it should be a series."
I assumed this was sarcasm at first cause I mean come the fuck on who doesn't know it was a series.
But to my astonishment, they all agreed.
Emo Fag two "Yeah totally, I mean I can see some live action thing for that, I mean that line at the end, it opens up the door for that."
To which they were all agreeing, which made me die a little on the inside. And as I handed them their food I decided to enlighten them on the transformers history.
me "Excuse me guys?"
They all looked at me as if I violated some code of conduct. Like I wasn't supposed to exist beyond their food.
Me "Transformers was a series before that movie ever came out, it was a popular animated series in the 80's. The movie was just a summarization if anything."
They all just stared in astonishment, probably still shocked I wasn't a robot or something and could formulate an opinion of my own. Then the fag one had to start a war.
Emo Fag one "Yeah a nerd would know that."
and they all started laughing.
I, used to insults of the many variety categorized this as a simple retort to impress the two scene girls and they were all staring at me and laughing.
Me "uhh, you don't have to be a nerd to know what was popular in the 80's, that's the equivalent of saying you're a nerd for knowing about whatever emo faggotry you listen to that's popular."
Emo Fag One "Whatever nerd"
Me "Nice come back, I can tell you're out of your league concerning insults so i'll just walk away and let you have the small victory that will most assuredly get you into one of these girls pants because you're 'such a rebel'."
He didn't take too kindly to this, and said the most obvious insult he could think of.
Emo Fag one "What do you know, you work in fast food, why don't you get a real job fucking nerd."
it amused me he would say this, it amused me so much I decided to steal his precious victory.
Me "Big talk from a boy who can't even pay for his own food, what did your mommy take away your allowance?"
Emo Fag one "Hey shut up man, i'll call corporate on you and get you fired!"
Me "On the basis of what? that you insulted me because I tried to offer you correct information, then I merely defended myself? Listen, i've done much worse to people and not gotten fired, fact of the matter is, it would cost them more money to train someone to know everything that I know about this place, than it would to fire me. Applying that formula, the only way you could possibly get me fired is if I were to punch you, or use profane language, or spit in your food, which i've yet to do any of that."
Emo Fag One "Look Nerd shut up alright, you're stupid if I call and complain they will do something cause i'm a customer and they take care of their customers, you know the saying right? Customer is Always right! Too bad they didn't teach you that your first day."
He certainly upped the ante on that one, however he was still no match.
Me "Right, the customer is always right, yet you were just wrong about a movie/series that was popular in the 80's. Not to mention the fact that this has absolutely nothing to do with food, which in effect nullifies your 'customer is always right' defense because that only applies to the food portion of my job, this however is an exchange of ideas. Nice use of a false ideology, you'll make a fine politician some day."
Not knowing what to say he just kept calling me a nerd, which made me sigh, so I said the only thing i've always wanted to say to a customer but had never had the chance.
Me "Right, Enjoy your aids!" I put on a big smile and walked away, they all got silent, threw their food away and left. I was just laughing and called the counter 1-800 number (for corporate) for those people that are cussing and screaming and claiming they're going to make things up to get us fired, and told them everything that happened just to secure my job.
I was probably in the wrong for doing that, but I was civil to a point so he deserved it.
Anyway, here's apw as promised.

aahhh takes me back to my fast food days of yore. Word of advice - get out early, it's been years and I still can't walk into a McDonalds restaurant and stand in line with all the retards, fuckups and wankstains.
The story could've been abit shorter.

"shocked, but not surprised if that makes any sense." It totally does. I feel that way all the time.
Very good, except that Harry Potter rocks.
And don't say otherwise or I'll go all avada kedavra on you and your family.

They are probably not smart enough to call in a complaint. They would have to:
1. get the number
2. figure out which location they want to complain about
3. sit through the 8 or 9 menu options in order to get an actual person on the phone
4. then explain to someone in India that one of their employees insulted them
5. while sounding adult and professional enough for this person to believe that they were wronged and not actually the cause of the problem
I seriously doubt they would get past step #2.
