the Nerve of Some People!

OMG, some people are absolutely rude. I've
been working at Sonic Drive-In for a while
now and well, I have to say I'm used to
getting chewed out because of incorrect
orders. I usually just explain to people
that I don't make the food. I just deliver
it and do drinks, but they still yell.
Today, was by far the worst person in the
world that I've had to deal with.
I took this guy's order to his car and
apparently it was wrong. He stopped me on
my way back in to yell about it. Someone
put tomatoes in his burger when he'd asked
for none. As usual, I told him that I'd
take it back and the problem would be
fixed. He started yelling that I better
not just take the tomato off and that he
wants a brand new burger. So I was like,
"Ok, we can do that". But get this: he's
still yelling at me! And then he starts
throwing stuff at me. He eventually threw
his drink at me and it knocked off my
glasses, breaking the earpiece on one side
completely off! I was in complete shock.
My manager saw what was going on and came
out to try to calm the man down. His wife
eventually calmed him down and apologized
repeatedly. She gave me $50 to replace my
frames. But wow, I cannot believe that
people are that rude. It was ridiculous.
So now, I get to spend my lovely day off
tomorrow getting new glasses. Thank god my
year isn't up so they're still under
warranty.
Sorry for the rant. Just needed to get
that out. Thanks!

You should have called the police and
filed charges against him. People like
that keep acting like that until they
change.
It sounds like a frightening experience!
I'm glad you are ok.

Some of my co-workers were telling me to
press charges, but I wasn't physically
hurt. Just a little scratch from the cup.
And they paid for the damage. So, I
figured it wasn't worth the trouble.

I understand that. But like I said, people
who continually get away with this kind of
behavior continue with this kind of
behavior. It isn't your responsibility to
'fix' him though - but I'll be he keeps
acting like a big fat jerk until... well,
until someone stops him.
Again, it is good you are ok. Sounds like
he was really angry over a tomato. Which
seems funny, kind of. I mean, who throws a
fit over a tomato (if they aren't 2, that
is)?

wow, you seemed like you were pretty nice
about it. The man sure is lucky it wasnt
me, police would have defintley been
called but not by anything he would have
done. Anyway, you should have pressed
charges to teach this scumbag a lesson. 50
bucks is too little, i would have asked
for 200.

did that to a stranger over a tomato.

that is just disgusting. i know i wasn't
there but i think i would have pressed
charges as well because it was a physical
attack. what a loser!! i'm sorry that
happened to you. i had a run in with a
reeeaaaally miserable wal mart clerk the
other day and it just ruined my whole
evening because she just had such an ugly
attitude. i just had to keep reminding
myself that i am the lucky one not to be
going through life with so much anger and
misery that i have to take it out on
everyone around me. some people just have
no respect for others.

wow that hella sucks! I swear fast food is
the worst place to work when it comes to
jerkface people! I feel for you, I used to
work at Round Table Pizza, and an item we
used to sell there was called the RTP
sandwich where you can choose 3 topping
and marinara sauce and the thing gets
toasted. Anyway so some ghetto lady comes
in and orders one, but it takes her like
10 minutes to figure out what she wants. I
repeat her order to her 3 times ( I did
that with people who took too long so they
couldn't come back and say I didn't ask
them). Get this, she comes back and throws
the container with her half eaten
sandwhich in it at me and yells that it
wasn't what she asked for, and that I give
her another one for free. So I tell her
that was why I repeated the order back to
her. She demanded to speak to a manager,
who denied her the sandwhich, and so she
told me that if I didn't like my job I
should just quit. So I told her that it
was people like her that made me hate
working in the first place and walked off,
wah wah.
If I were you I woulda been like, go make
your own damn burger then... lol.
and then I would have called the cops on
his sorry butt. Glad your ok though!

Wow, that's just wrong. I can't believe
some grown man threw his drink at you over
a tomato. I'm sorry you had to deal with
that jerk.

actually cause more problems for her.

Isn't that sad though.. Buddy must have
had alot going on in his life to flip like
that! Some people who are holding in big
things tend to take them out on the little
things.. YEah I would have to say he was
nuts. AND I agree its sad that she had to
go to work and was doing her .. ( made a
smallllllllllllllllllllll tiny tiny
mistake and BANG! FOR probably not much
more than min wage and to have to put up
with that crap. You know some pepole
should really learn to think before they
act. because those actions really upset
people..
Have you been back to work? Do you ever
feel nervous about work?

Oh yeah I would press charges forsure. I
am actually surprised the supervisor on
duty didn't call the police! It's not fair
to have to go through that. AND ofcourse
that guy was let off and will probably do
it again. It was probably embarrassing and
overly scary. LIKE the guy went postal
over a tomato! COME ON! When I get burgers
with stuff on them that I don't want (I
just think that its easy toget it mixed
up, because I bet it was pretty busy too
and hard to do everything 'perfect' all of
the time. People make mistakes) THIS
MORNING I GOT A TEA BAG WITH IN MY COFFEE
at Tim Hortons. I just laughed about it..
NO BIG deal. It wasn't even worth getting
mad over, but I have to think wow that
girl couldn't have been thinking when she
did that because they were swamped! Its
not the end of the world it just makes me
appreciate it more the next time when I
ask for a straight coffee with no tea this
time. Make it a joke and fun, because
people remember that too. Sometimes much
better.

I haven't been back today and I was
originally scheduled for tomorrow off. I'm
not all that nervous about it. It's not
the first time I've been yelled at. He
just took it to the extreme today. I think
I'll be okay though. My manager has called
and checked on me many times today and I'm
pretty okay with it. Just hoping I never
have to deal with that again. For my, and
my glasses, sake.

Wow I cant believe he went so over the top
about food. Sounds like he needs some
anger management classes, I feel sorry for
his wife. I would have been really shocked
too

Its good that you have some time off
because that would be so scary. I think
that you handelled yourself quite well.
Cudos to you for going back at some point.
Some experiences are pretty crappy, but
it's great that you're willing to go back
and try it again. I personally don't think
that people show enough respect for you
guys who work fast food etc. Its a hard
job. Good job! What do you want to do
later in life?

Sorry I got on the pregnancy chat but I
just had to say you handled yourself well
under the circumstances. I wear glasses
too and I have had them knocked off but
never broken like that. I probably would
have pressed charges against that jerk
too.
Everyone is right, idiots like that just
keep abusing people until they are stopped
by the police or get a good slap upside
the head! I believe he took advantage of
the fact that you are a young woman
because I guarantee you he wouldn't have
done that to a man. He is really a
coward--much like bullies are in
school--they look for weaker or smaller
foes.
I hope everything goes ok when you return
to work and good luck with graphic design
from a fellow Texan.
