I'm telling you, my customers must just want me to REALLY appreciate my vacation, which starts Wednesday.
Two guys come in today, sorta dirty looking. One orders a vodka and coke ("the cheapest you got"), the other orders a pitcher of beer ("whichever's the cheapest"). Super. I bring it to them and go about my business. They both get up and go in the game room or whatever. DirtyGuy1 comes and sits back down. CrazyDirtyGuy starts wandering around the restaurant looking for his cane and his bag. In a booth across the restaurant from where he was sitting. Then he goes up to the bartender and tells her someone stole his stuff. She goes and gets the manager, and the manager points out it's in the booth WHERE HIS FRIEND IS SITTING, AND WHO HE WALKED PAST TO GET TO THE BAR. I'm sure she said it very nicely, though.
Then a bit later someone tells me that they just walked out the front door, and did they pay? Um, no.
So i go outside with my manager, and they said that CDG only had one beer, so why should he pay $6.50. Well, Crazy Asshat, you ordered a pitcher, so you have to pay for it. Nevermind the two dollars you handed the HOSTESS on your way out doesn't even cover the vodka DG ordered. DG proceeds to argue that they don't need to be treated like this and harrassed, and that's why they were leaving. Sure, but you still need to pay your bill. But CDG only had one beer! Lather, rinse, repeat for about 10 minutes out in front of the restaurant, at which point, I handed my manager the check and told her I was going in to call the police. By the time the cops got there my manager had apparently convinced them to pay, and got CDG another pitcher, minus what he already drank. Sure fine.
Then she tells me to ring up another vodka/coke for DG! But that, I guess is a story for managers_suck. The guy was still sitting there when I left a bit ago. The server who's station is was refused to wait on him, so when I left the manager was. At whatpoint do we refuse service to people? I mean, you tried to walk out on your check. suuuuuuuuure, come back in and have another! W.T.F.
