too much ranch dressing
this happened in 2013 but i still laugh when i think about it so i thought id share.
i used to be a fastfood manager. every night id handle all the inventory. i liked to get an early jump on it so id start roughly 30 minutes to close. one night i was counting inventory and getting ready to place the weeks orders and my grill guy runs back to the office, taps his headset and says "you need to hear this"
this was odd because the person i had on drivethru was this kid named john. john was an adopted kid from russia and he had a thick russian accent, but he was objectively the best employee in the whole building. he worked hard, he worked fast, and he was the friendliest person id ever met. i never had issues on his shifts.
i put my headset on and i hear this man just absolutely berating john. hes telling him to get out of the country, raving about immigration, calling him slurs saying hes taking jobs from real americans. so i jump in
"hi sir what seems to be the problem?"
"are you the manager?"
"i am. can you fill me in on whats upsetting you tonight?"
"well this LAZY MEXICAN is refusing to sell me a baked potato when i know you have them"
"sir im sorry we are out of baked potatoes for the night. is there anything else i can get for you?"
"thats bullshit! make more then!"
"sir the baked potatoes take 4 hours to cook and we close in 10 minutes. unfortunately we cant predict how many potatoes will be ordered and it looks like someone else bought the rest of what we had just before you came to order. is there something else i can get you?"
"you should be better prepared because this is fcking ridiculous!"
"i understand. is there anything else i can get you?"
"small salad, extra ranch"
"got it anything else?"
"and i dont mean like 1 or two packets like you idiots always give me i mean i want lots of ranch. like i want a ton of ranch got it?!"
"got it. please pull forward"
"fucking idiots"
now im pretty mad about the way he was talking to john, johns clearly distressed.. and i had just done inventory. i had a whole box of ranch that i was gonna need to toss that night because it expired the next day. i grab a large bag, and start filling it with packets of ranch. i mustve put like 250 ranch packets in there lol my kitchen was busting up
i take his money, i hand him the bag.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?"
"sorry?"
"why is there so much ranch?!"
"sir you asked for extra ranch?"
"are you fucking kidding me?!"
"did i not give you enough? i can get you some more if you want?"
"no you stupid fucking bitch! i want a fucking refund and im not taking all this ranch"
"well i cant take food back through the window, its policy. heres your refund though!"
"NOW TAKE BACK ALL THIS RANCH YOU DUMB WHORE"
"i cant do that, sorry sir! you have a good night though!"
i close the window and this man wouldnt leave. i tell everyone to ignore him and to just start cleaning up. this man actually sat there for 45 minutes and at some point he called the police! a policeman shows up and i tell them "yeah this man berated my employees, demanded extra ranch, then refused to leave even after i gave a refund"
he was arrested in our parkinglot for driving under the influence while we watched laughing. i thought he was just an angry bigot, but it turned out that he was a drunk angry bigot who would be arrested over ranch.
