Do you want a cookie?

Some of you may know but for those whom don’t I work at a Souper Salad restaurant. I have worked there for over 2 and ½ years and today I almost got my first write up. What might you ask did I do to get written up now…

Me and a fellow employee were talking/arguing (I was 27 min. late [1st time ever] and she is a bitch) any way she was saying how she goes to school 8 hours a day and blah, blah, blah, had to stay late till I got there. Most of this happened in the back hall but the end of it happened at the edge of the front floor. Either way as I’m entering the floor I turn back and say (kind of loud but not yelling or anything) “What do you want a cookie”? (hey my school days are 10 hours long and this is one of two jobs)

Then on my way to take some drinks out (what I was doing while me and the bitch were talking) some guy who heard me stopped me and said, “that was real immature, and you should learn to grow up”. He then called over one of my managers and DEMANDED that I be written up. The manager offered him a refund or some other concession but he wouldn’t be satisfied by anything but me being reprimanded.

Any opinion on this, I mean if you were eating and you heard two employees talking and the only thing that you could make out was What do you want a cookie, would you be upset or offended?


**Granted it was said sarcasticly but was it any reason to try to get someone fired?** - the languare of me calling the other employee a bitch is just commentary and a previous situation

What you should have done was to tell the customer to go fuck himself, and he could do it while minding his own business. Well, maybe not, but certainly the manager would let you explain yourself before firing or reprimanding you?

I guess there will always be people taking advantage of "the customer is always right", seeing a chance to wield some power for once. I think many stores/restaurants/whatever need to realise that the fact that you are there to provide the customer with a service doesn't mean you have to take shit.

Edited for spelling

My first thought is that's friggin' ridiculous. I can't believe a patron would butt their nose into your business like that. If I heard you guys arguing I'd ignore it, unless you were doing it right in front of me. And even then, I'd only complain if it were something extremely unprofessional. Sorry you got screwed.

Nutshot the customer. When he's down, drop a bucket of Hollandaise sauce across his skull and yell, "Now You've been Reprimanded, BITCH!" Stomp outta the restaurant as naked as the day you were born.

Then give the girl a cookie.

Tell the customer to go fuck themselves, and if they have any children to go fuck them as well. Tell the bitch who was giving you shit to drown herself in a shit filled toilet. If the supervisor is there, quit then. After your resignation is accepted, tell them about the backed up toilet in the women's room. Let him clean up the poopy corpse mess.

If you hate it, quit it. It's the service industry/retail. It's not the career field that people are exactly crowding. It's the work you take when you've got to buy for college books or you just don't give a fuck. Don't give a damn, let the customers know it. Make sure the boss knows it from Day One. That way, they won't be surprised when you spit Barbecue Sauce in the face of an old bitch giving you shit in the drive-thru.

Oddly enough I tell the manager on duty that I hate my job everyday I go in. I’m just too lazy to find a job that will gel with my school schedule for now.

Also the “alleged girl” that I was arguing with is one of like 3 people that I have met in person and do not like. I strive to very amiable she just rubs me the wrong way. It all stems from on incident

So at Souper Salad’s there is a waiter shift change at 4:30 in the afternoon where there is one wait staff left on from the mourning and one of the night waiters comes in to relieve them. Before the morning person can leave the person coming on has to ok their side work (filling salt and sugar, sweeping, shit like that). I always let shit slide and let them go on some stuff. One day I look around and see that she hasn’t done shit the floors are dirty every salt, pepper, and sugar caddy needed refilling but being nice I said she could go if she took out the trash. She starts getting upset and telling the supervisor and me that it is too heavy and that she shouldn’t have to take it out and just general bitching. The supervisor makes her go back to do it and I was going to help, but when we get back there the trash is maybe half full and she starts yelling at me. “It’s not even half fucking full. Why the fuck do I have to take it out this is fucking bullshit, are you fucking serious”. I don’t take well to being yelled at and besides 2.13/hour isn’t worth this shit so I let her leave and I take the trash out myself. I decided right then that the next time that I follow her I would go through and inspect the store like I’m the fucking district manager and the regional manager is coming.

I know it sounds immature but technically it is what I am supposed to do I just no longer cut her any slack, oh but I’ll never ask her to take out the trash again.

Oh, and just for superficial reasons as well this is the second time that she has worked here. The first time she worked there she was very (well since this is the superficial part) hot. As some girls do when they know that they are very attractive she had an attitude and people dealt with it because well…they/I liked to look at her. Since she has left and came back she is no longer alluring. For one her ass alone gained like 25 pounds, however she manages to keep that you will do things for me because I’m one of the beautiful people attitude.

But hey I'm ugly to so...

when i worked at a Dairy Queen in high school, the phrase "Whadday want, a cookie?" was used for anyone wanting recognition of some mundane, menial.

"I finished boiling out the second fryer."

"Whaddday want, a fucking cookie? Go do dishes."

And that is how we use it down here to.

She was complaining that I was making her do her job, and she goes to school for eight hours a day. (not every day mind you)

I meant it like yeah so, what I don't, in fact I have 10 hour days this semester.

Bitch her out one day and then ask her for a shag.

Also, a better phrase then the cookie one is, "Cry me a river."
