And so the “Fight for $15” enters the expected phase.....
That being said, I have no doubt it’s very difficult to deal with the public. Disclaimer, yes, I’m white, LOL.
I saw a white woman act like a jerk because she accidentally got cheese on a burger and she shoved it into the face of the young black kid at McD right in front of me (just up the road).
I told the manager and another coworker not to give him any trouble - he handled it well. I would not have blamed him if he shoved it into her face. There was no call for that. I would not have let that kid go down for her being a jerk, that’s for certain.
I have seen jerks of all races and genders.
Agree no employee should be treated that way by an abusive customer.
Just the opposite...
I once ordered a CheeseWhopper with lettuce and mayo ONLY...
When I got it, it had everything but the kitchen sink on it...
I ask the manager about it and he took his finger...bare finger...and scraped off the tomato, onion and whatever else and handed it back to me...
Not only did he have to clean his finger but he had to clean his face and shirt cause that’s where the burger landed....
I concur. Some customers are total assholes. See the same thing at the local Costco. Especially when the kid is really trying. Some people can be real condescending pricks.
I agree 100% it is getting worse these days to deal with the public and to add to your story if that incident happened at one of the mom and pop places I go to eat at times back in the states that customer would be asked to leave and never come back, maybe file assault charges, that is a huge difference compared to MCD and corporate chain businesses.
Also shit like this is one of reasons why when I come back from being stationed in the Middle East, I am moving to Texas and looking for work in the Oil sector, Manufacturing sector work, Customer service jobs suck these days, and throw in the PC culture, and bitchy women which I find the worst who will complain at the drop of the hat, its not worth it, and I’m tired of rolling over and kissing so much ass anyways.
- Just my two cents.
