Regardless of where you work, it's simply not acceptable to be rude to paying customers. I did my time at McDonalds and I suffered through extremely rude customers. Little did I know, the worst was yet to come! I'm now a barista for Starbucks, and I'll tell anyone that the evil customers of McDonalds are NOTHING compared to the *** holes who drive in, BMW, after Mercedes, after Lexus, after Cadillac... You sincerely greet them and they don't even aknowledge you, and after they MAKE UP a drink that doesn't EXIST, they get pissy with you because the OTHER Starbucks makes it right, and I didn't.
Point is, it doesn't matter how rude someone is, as someone in the ****-ant customer service position, it's your job to be nice and accomodating towards customers. Don't like it? Go to college. (Not that it really matters, I work with people that have degrees and they're still stuck as baristas, but everyone has to have at least one customer service job in life...)

Dude, are you f'ucking serious. A barista? I would hardly equate the java jockeys that work at Starbucks to a barista. That's like comparing the drunken retiree that works at my corner packie to a sommelier. Just out of curiosity, do you compare your talents to the Sandwich Artists at Subway? Just shut the f'uck up with all your whining and get me my double skinny grande mocha latte, slightly wet, with an extra shot, a touch of hazelnut syrup, and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
****.
What I miss about working at fast food the most was knowing that no matter how lousy my day was going, all I really had to do was be polite, yell at my employee's in the back room, or the freezer if I really had to yell.
I remember once I was in a fight with the Boss in her office (no clue what it was about anymore, and this is before I was a supervisor), and literally screaming at her...and I slammed the door and turned around to see an elderly lady standing at the register with the most wide eyed look I'd ever seen.
Immediately my game face went on and I cheerfully said "Welcome, how may I help you today?" and with a still wide eyed look she remarked "I have never seen anyone change moods that quickly before in my life...you must be an actor".

Things I sometimes play...
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I want to be a unicorn!"
"Awww, why's that?"........
"So I can stab people with my face."

I have no tolerance for rude people especially when they work with food.
If they are rude to customers then who knows what they are capable of doing to your food if you **** them off for any small reason.
(ps)I would have shoved all 4 of those ice creams so far down her throat she would be ******** my fingernails.

Careful, you may upset him and force him to put full fat milk in your non-fat mocha.
Well, I'll just pour my hot coffee in the garbage can to make room for cream.

Amen! Preach it sister
As a grand finale speaking to the awesomeness that is McDonald's customer service, the GM of the store is sending me coupons for free stuff. Woo fricking hoo.
She explained that there were "many meetings", the surveillance tape was reviewed and appropriate disciplinary action was taken, although what exactly is confidential. Additionally, they have also used my letter as an example for other managers at that store and the other store owned by the same owner because they found my experience to be a "terrible one" and would not want anyone else to have to endure it (read: it's probably posted in the lunchroom as a running gag). She also expressed her surprise and awe that I did not lose it right then and there. I wonder how many big mac vouchers they'll send.

Yea, that's the kind of thing that would have happened to that cnut.

That's not coffee, you pUssy. Merely a symbol of your pseudo-intellectual elitist wanna-be ********* The fanciest I ever get with my coffee is using maple syrup if I can't find a spoonful of sugar. Unless it's sugar-free syrup which really defeats the purpose.

Elderon, you sir are a douche bag.
Is this a personal attack? Yep
You have made this out to be a much bigger fiasco than it had to have been. What's one bad experience in the end anyways? I think you set a horrible example for your kids by making a scene and if I had been your child I would have been terribly embarrased.
So what if you got free coupons. So what if the upper level management agreed with you, you made a mountain out of a mole hill. I hate people like you.
You seem incredibly cocky:
You don't deserve someone's respect by publicly embarrasing them. People have feelings. You think she is going to kindly tell you her name when you have been such a jerk to her?
Here you make yourself out to be the good guy:
In what way have you EARNED her respect. Saying they never will work there DOES in fact make you sound cocky and like you are better than her.
Get off your ******* high horse. Stop being an ******* to people. I hope your wife sets a better example for your kids because you sure as hell don't.

I got no more than 3 steps away and she shouted "I hope your kids never work at McDonalds." I replied "Don't worry, they won't." She retorted with "Oh, is that because you're so much better than us?" I bit my tongue so hard on that one. All I said was "Excuse me, but I have not been rude at all here, you are the one being totally disrespectful." and walked away ignoring any reply she may have had.

I work at Subway and everyone there regularly gives customers ****, if i don't like you or i'm having bad day i'm going to either ignore you or tell you to **** off if you annoy me.
Noone cares about the job, it's minumum wage, i'm not there to ensure that you have a pleasurable subway experince i'm there to get away with as little work as possible and then go home.

This is most likely why you are still working at Subway.
As far as this experience goes, I can understand where both people are coming from because I, too, have done my time at a fast food restaurant (Rally's).
Some guy who didn't know what the hell they were talking about wrote:
The customer is always right.
I can tell you now, the customer is far from being always right. Customers tend to forget that the people who are behind those counters, also have feelings. Sure, they are there to get what you need and to make sure you have a pleasant experience, but that doesn't mean they are your personal robot slaves.
