Oh I forgot that part of the story.....

The Manager on Duty was standing 5 ft away. It was obvious the store manager wasn't in. The M.O.D looked uncomfortable but said nothing.

Yes Mikey....in theory that sounds like the way to handle things but I don't think bad word of mouth really hurts the bigger franchises like McDonalds, Wendys....etc. Unfortuantly, it seems these are the types of places where you are more than likely to get the rude service.....

and when is the last time you have checked the B.B.B before you have walked into one of them?

Hey ya'll....

I think my biggest pet peave is rude customer service. I can't stand it when an employee acts like he/she is doing me a favor by just doing what they are getting paid to do....especially since in a round about way, I'm the one paying them.

I usually just ignore the behavoir but decided to "fight" back this weekend.

My daughter and I stopped into a fast food place mid-afternoon for a quick snack. It wasn't busy at all at that time of day.

I placed my order and waited patiently for it to be up while chatting with my daughter about movie plans.

A guy came to the counter, kind of tossed my tray of food towards me and said "You're lucky to even get this."

"Lucky??" I said, surprised and confused.

"Yea. You're lucky. I get off in 4 minutes I should have just waited for the next shift to come in to make your food."

I was still surprised but tried to stay calm....I responded..."I'm not lucky to get my food. I PAID for it."

He couldn't let things go....He leaned closer towards me at the counter and snottily responded....."No, you ARE lucky. And you are lucky if I didn't spit in it."

I had enough. I calmly took the whole tray of food (ice cream...large drinks....baked potatoe) and pushed it off the other side of the counter. It fell all over him and the floor.
It was his turn to be surprised as I replied "I guess I'm lucky that I'M not going to have to clean that up." I turned around and left.

My order was replaced at another establishment nearby and the district supervisor was notified.

Now my question.....

How have you reacted towards poor service? Any good stories?
