Annoyances

“Can I get someone who speaks English?”
I do believe I am speaking in English. What can I do for you?

Just because you’re calling customer service doesn’t mean I’m outside the US.

“I want to speak with a manager”
Sure thing. Can I have your order so I can tell my manager what you’re calling about?
“No I want a manager now because I don’t want to talk to you”
Unless I obtain this information I cannot transfer you to a manager. Anything else?

Give me something so I can help you. Otherwise I’ll tell you to fuck off.

“I want a cut”
We all want things. Do one more order and you’ll get your cut.
“NO I WANT A CUT NOW”
You already accepted the order. Finish it and you get cut. Otherwise you get written up.

These people are the ones doing the work, but really, most of them are idiots.

“Your menu is out of date and all the prices are wrong”
I can fix the prices on this order, have you sent your menu in?
“WE DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THAT”
Do. Not. Yell. At. Me.

There’s a reason why people don’t order from you anymore, dear restaurant owner.
