"K"lapmet Karma

Karma got ME today in the form of one needy and belligerent customer after another.





Of course after the third or fourth one you realize that monetarily your day is toast and courtesy seems to take all you have.



Unfortunately it was in regards to the only thing we DIDN'T have....corn. I'll just let you listen for yourself.



MY LADY PATRON: " I want country fried steak, salad with ranch, and corn"



ME:" I'm sorry ma'am we don't serve corn, but we DO have a baked potato, mashed potatoes, extra vegetables (that aren't corn) or maybe even applesauce?"



MY LADY PATRON "I want corn. You gave it to me last week so I know you have it"



ME (losing my cool): "Again I'm sorry, perhaps it was another restaurant because we've never offered corn"



MY LADY PATRON "Yes you do. Why don't you go CHECK. You'll see."



IN MY MIND "Fine you stupid bitch. I'd be happy to go waste my time looking for your fucking corn, but since we DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING CORN, and I'm sure that once I ask they'll tell me we DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING CORN, why don't you choke on your god damned salad and save me the trouble of having to stand here and play kiss ass. Then again what the fuck do I know I'm just a stupid-corn-fetching-coffee-pouring-gum-chewing-waitress who gets to run around all day hunting down golden nuggets for whores like you"



OUT LOUD: I would be happy to. There's a good chance we've added it to the menu and I just didn't know. In the case that we're out is there anything else you'd like to try?





MY LADY BITCH: "Applesauce" she pretty much screamed at me.





The look of satisfaction she gave me as I lowered her plate, turned to my satisfaction when she saw the applesauce.



I smiled politely and let her know " Once again I'm sorry, but we didn't have corn"





The mutual sassing was worth it, seeing as this was a moneyless transaction :)
