Sliced Deli Turkey

Sliced Deli Turkey


I was at my local market yesterday to get a few groceries on my way home from work. As I do weekly, I go to the deli to get my 1/2 pound of turkey breast sliced for sandwiches for my lunches. As I was waiting, having small talk with the guy who was slicing the turkey, a man marched up to the counter and started yelling at the guy about a pre-made sandwich he had just bought. It was half eaten and the guy actually threw the sandwich in the wrapper at the deli guy. He said "Look! The lettuce is wilted, there is only one slice of turkey and the bread is hard! I want you to make me a new sandwich right now!" As the deli guy looked at the sandwich on the floor, then at me, he said "as soon as I am done with this customer I will assist you." The man was PISSED and said he was going be late back to work. So I said to the deli guy, go ahead and take care of this rude asshole and get him out of here. The man looked at me and I said, "you know, there is no reason to throw a fit, stomp your feet and act like a damn in public." He replied back to me "I do not take bad service or bad food very well and I will make that known as loudly as I can." I then said "Obviously your mother didn't teach you any manners and if you only knew how stupid you look you would have been more patient." He had to have weighed at least 350 pounds so I guess his self-esteem/self image is very low.

People like that is what makes the retail business so difficult for hard working employees. It's sad too when we know they only make minimum wage at best. So now I make sure to tell anyone I come in contact with in a retail environment that I appreciate the good service and their smile. (When I get it of course). If not, then I just politely walk away and say "thank you." Retail is TOUGH enough and the "John Q Public" idiots can sometimes make it tougher on employees.

No matter how good or bad the service is, I always say have a wonderful day. One never knows who was just in front of you. Maybe it was the 350 pounder with a half eaten sandwich. The employee may be the sweetest person in the world but someone may have just pissed in their wheaties. Just "Be Happy"

Bullying and arrogance are signs of insecurity. Rudeness and ignorance are admired by many people. Look at who some want to be "lead" by.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

People that act like that, especially in public and over something as small as that, a sandwich at a deli, they are just insecure, miserable and very very unhappy, they know they are nobody and that no one cares about them, that is why they do that, to give them selves attention, what they don't know, is that the attention they get, is not for good reasons. very sad when I see people that bitch or complaint about everything or anything, have a few females friends like that, every-time we go out to eat, they always find something wrong with the food or service, always have to call the waiter to let them know their plate is not as good, too wet, too dry, too much too little. and the sad part is that there is nothing fucking wrong, they are just being stupid cause they a paying and have someone serving them...they find anything to bitch, last Saturday when I met with friends, there was one of them, she was seating next to me on my right side, and my bf was to my left, we had a round table, it was a total of 5 people, the other 2 are a couple, anyhow, she was the only one by herself, food came out and nobody complaint but her about her potatoes and meat, the guy said, well let me take it back, so they can make you another plate, then she call the guy again and said, never mind, I just gonna have dessert, the food is taking too long, I jump and said, well, what do you expect, you already bitch once, so I am sure they are taking their time to make it the way you want it, and now you are gonna bitch about that too? no wonder why your are alone, and then you wonder why you can get a guy, you people wanna be pamper every second. but all you throw in return are complaints...the waiter and everyone else on the table just look at me but no one said anything, not even her. she knows me. I call them as I see them.

Glad you tell the jerk to chill. I would had done the same, but I would had call him a pig.

When I was married I had a sister-in-law like that. Didn't matter where we were, what kind of food we had, even perfect service, she would always find something wrong. I would tell my husband "Oh no, another family birthday dinner with HER - I hate going!" One time she got a glass of water and the server had opened the straw from the paper and put it inside her glass. She had a FIT and demanded another glass water and a straw with the paper ON. Also she would never allow her food to be taken away from the table to be wrapped up in a doggy bag. She had them do it in front of her. SHEESH! Then if we split the bill she made sure if she didn't have dessert she wasn't about to pay for her share if she didn't eat any. Same with a bottle of wine if she didn't have a glass of it...Mamma Mia!!!

SOOOO glad I am not that way. You are right, people like that are just plain miserable and hate themselves. But why make everyone else suffer and be uncomfortable with their behavior? Very insecure people!

Oh no, I would never share my check with them, every-time we go out, I have my own check, I make sure I say that to the waiter ahead of time, that I on my own. or if my bf is there, then the 2 of us, but I would never share the same check with them, cause they are good to complaint, but very cheap at the end, sometimes they will even bring out the phone to make the calculations, I just watch them do it...thinking, glad I have my own damn check. they look ridiculously cheap after all their bitching about service or food.

Some people are just idiots. Sounds like a snob to me. Probably nothing wrong with the sandwich and didn't want to buy 2.
