| Look Ma, they gave me a new hat at work! |
Okay so file this
one away under the “Wow Stupid that thick should be culled from the
Gene Pool.” Picture this, ladies enter into a restaurant and enjoy
a good meal with presumably good service. They go to leave and
discover that their server/s have typed in an extremely offensive
description of them on their ticket. They do what Ass's are supposed
to do and complain and don't stop complaining until some sort of
satisfaction is found. They even received an official apology from
the Company Heads.
Now, believe it or
not, my rant isn't about these ladies. They were rightfully
offended, complained and got satisfaction. End of story. No, my
dear friends. My rant is about just how STUPID the person that wrote
the comment was.
Not that long ago
I wrote a rant about another mentally lacking person who wrote “Lady
Chinky Eyes” on a similar receipt. Now, I see this grand stupidity
repeating itself. Now folks, I am actually okay if you don't like
someone. I am okay if you think that someone looks like a cross
between Yoda and Golum from LOTR. That is your right. You have the
right to (Peacefully) dislike someone and even mock them in your
head. But for Crom's sake, keep it in your head!
That's right!
Keep the information in your head. Put it behind a firewall, snicker
quietly to yourself and move on. Share it with a friend if they are
of a similar mindset. Do not, I repeat DO NOT type it into a
computer system where it will be then printed out for the customer to
see. I promise you that seeing yourself described as “fat” does
not encourage smiles and happy feelings in most people. It actually
tends to piss most people off.
It is okay if you
don't like the way someone looks. It is both hunky and dorey that
you feel that a person might make a good stand in for Shamu the
Killer Whale at SeaWorld. I personally have seen many people of the
years that made me think, “HOLY CRAP!” However, especially when I
was at work, I never voiced those thoughts to either the customer or
friends.
Should this moron
be fired? Hell yeah! Should the manager who seemed to find this all
amusing be reprimanded? Also Yeah! Should the owners be commended
for acting quickly to fix the issue, also a resounding Yes. The
truly sad part is that this should have never happened and when it
did happen it should have never made it further than say the Shift
Leader. It was an easy fix with a simple solution. Erase the charge
for the meals and apologize profusely to the rightfully offended
party. This isn't rocket science, people.
In end, it is
simple. If you want to keep working and eating, keep your big mouth
shut and the insults out of the billing system.
End
of Rant
