Bragging about tampering with customer food

[PepperElf]

this link was posted over at M3C and i personally find it fucked up.


in a nutshell employee are BRAGGING about the nasty shit they do to customers they dislike. mainly ... tampering with their food.


One of the ones that caught my eye was that the "horrible thing" the customer did was to... order from the menu. the bartender's "excuse" for putting exlax in the drink was that the customer knew it was ann annoying drink to make.

so fucking what? to that bartender i say "suck it up". if you don't want to make a drink that's on the menu then change the fucking menu. but having a little grade-school revenge on a customer for ordering what you clearly offer? fuck you. you don't deserve a job if you think it's appropriate to poison your customers.


anyway rant over.

and this is why i didn't post it at the regular site. too controversial.

Tampering with food is the one thing that I'm sure everyone at CS are heavy against, no matter how much we dislike or hate that customer.


Sicks people.


EDIT: To add, I highly doubt the laxative story. What, did someone just so happen to carry PRESCRIPTION grade laxatives at work? On the same day the asshoels were there? If anything, be a little embrassing to tell your pals that, "Hey! I can't poo, so I used my prescription pills in it!"

Because would any of you, fully admit that you have those types of pills with you, at work? (In case she claims a coworker gave it to her, or a customer).

Just highly doubt it. Just another vinger boy wannabe.

indeed i know cs is against food tampering.
i just went with the rule that "if you aren't sure, put it on fratching"...

cos i wasn't sure how angry this might make people.

I think if you do things like that to people you lose any right to complain about their behavior.

Granted, some people deserve it, but for things like ordering a drink on the menu? Oh well, dude, maybe you shouldn't be a bartender if you don't want to make drinks.

I rarely ever go to bars, but according to what I've read online, there is apparently an unwritten rule against ordering elaborate mixed drinks at a bar. This rule also seems to include any drinks that require a blender.

Now, please don't get me wrong. I'm not justifying some asshole bartender tampering with a customer's drink because said customer ordered a drink that he didn't want to make.

Sadly, we've had a few people come to CS, apparently not understanding what we're all about. Once in a great while, some newbie will brag about being an ass to the customers completely without provocation, and yes, even tampering with their food or drinks.

In the old days, they'd get ripped to shreds by the regulars, and eventually slink away with their tail between their legs, or they'd raise holy hell about us being a bunch of assholes and get banned.

Come to think of it, that's still kind of how it can happen, the only difference being that because they start out on moderation and there's no way in hell we'll ever approve a post like that, they'll either just leave when we politely point out that we don't condone what they're posting about, or they'll do something really stupid and flame the very people who can ban them.

... Oh why do you guys never post those stories for us to read and mock for ourselves? I would have loved to see those bastards, and really let them know how wrong and sick it is.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I worked in a pizza place, and I can honestly say that we never tampered with any customer's food. There were other ways to get our own back; like minimum toppings, being last to be delivered to, not having any of the perks that the favoured customers get (ie, getting a bit extra cheese for free or a fraction more pepperoni). All that is sufficient without lowering yourself to the SC's level.

I'll admit that when somebody really crosses me I can get downright spiteful and vindictive. Tampering with peoples food crosses the line for me. Though I do have to say the story about the bartender handing back the redneck asshole SC his shitty tip that he gave at another bar and the bartender having his friend who was tending bar at another pub kick out the SC was a good revenge story.

To allow it in, even for mocking purposes, is going to give it justification that it honestly does not deserve. Better to shut it down before it builds up steam.

Oh I don't mean the people that post it. They get banned pretty quickly if they don't stop. I mean a special area on the boards where mods post their favorite stories from new people, such as "So I totally took a major dump in her taco salad and she ate it! it was KEWL!!! Teach her to order a taco SALAD at a taco joint!"

I rarely ever go to bars, but according to what I've read online, there is apparently an unwritten rule against ordering elaborate mixed drinks at a bar. This rule also seems to include any drinks that require a blender.

Fuck that. (Please note that when I say "you" or "your", I'm referring to hypothetical people employed to perform certain function and not Guywithashovel) Fuck the whole concept of the "unwritten rule".

How the fuck am *I* supposed to know these unwritten rules? I go into a bar and there is a blended drink on the menu. If it's on the menu, then it's a menu item that your establishment offers. Which means that if it sounds really yummy and I want one then your job (you know, the reason they hired you in the first place?) is to goddamn make it. If you don't want to then ask the establishment to remove it from the list, find another bartender to make it for you, or find a different place of employment that doesn't serve said beverage.

I once went into a bar and ordered an Alien Secretion. They didn't know how to make one but the menu said that they make custom drinks.

Again to drive my point like a tractor-trailer through a plate glass window...the menu, printed by the owners of the bar, said that they "We'll cheerfully make any drink not on the menu, provided we have the ingredients".

Now again, they didn't know how to make one so I told them that it was 4oz glass with 1/3 each Midori, Malibu Rum, and Pineapple Juice, on ice, shaken. Pretty simple drink. They had all the stuff (even the pineapple juice was in a large carafe so they didn't have to open a can) so I felt that the <sigh> of "GAWD! These customers are making my life a living hell!" was rather unwarranted.

But again if this is an "unwritten rule" then how the flying fornication am I supposed to deduce this little law? retrieve it from the repository of knowledge that is my lower colon? AKA Pull it out of my ass?

I'm with Mongo on this. If a place offers a drink or food item, and unless they are out of said item, they should serve it. They might not LIKE having to do it, but they should.

Especally in this day an age, where people bitch that they have to live on tips.

Granted, maybe people won't tip, but you have a decent chance of getting a tip, especally from a customer who asks politely, if you would serve a drink that isn't on the menu (if said place offers such a deal of making off menu drinks).

I remember once, my ma told me she went to a bar and asks for jello shots. The owner didn't want to as they were a pain to make, but he did. Later, after he served them, more and more customers saw it and wanted them too. He later added it to the menu, and it was one of his better serving items.

I don't get the attitude. In a job, where you want tips, why throw a shit fit over a drink that's on the freaking menu.

or they will post a whinny message on another retail-type ranting message board about how "we (CS and the mods who police the site) are just a bunch of pussies who won't let them rant and tell actual stories about stupid people actually seeking revenge (in its various forms whether phyical, or notes on an account or food tampering) on supposed SC's". They then go on to say NOT to come to or register at CS for that reason.

I saw that type of post on another board just within the last week. it was a poster on who had found CS a short time ago. this poster was ranting about how he was treated at CS. this is that person's post over there. you may remember the post from CS.

I think some people just do NOT get it as CS does not allow to be discussed nor condone that extream level of retaliation

The admins are way WAY too sensitive. I had started a thread on returns.
Most of us have heard of, read or been through the drill of someone wanting to return something that was simply non-returnable due to date or condition of the item. My solution was to tell the customer "ok, you can return this", then simply take the item back and not give them their money back. If the customer argued, the cashier could say "you wanted to do a return, I warned you repeatedly that it couldn't be done, you insisted, so I'm taking it back. you never said anything about getting your money back for a non-returnable item." The admins there said I was condoning theft. Well, the people there goofily talk about what they would do to certain people, especially the thread on an abusive husband to an abused wife as a customer, but those threads and posts are still up. I explained to them that I went to Catholic school, stole malted milk balls from a store at that age, got caught and got the spanking of a lifetime and had never stolen anything since then. I also argued that specific stores seem to allow retail theft, in a way, when they want to shut up a customer who makes a huge scene about wanting to return a nonreturnable item.

I also read many posts by help desk and call center staff, how those who call in for help berate and abuse the employees trying to help them. in the theme of "don't piss off the people who could ruin your life", I said that if a longtime troublemaking customer got to me, I would definitely write down their name, address, phone number, etc. Then if that customer pissed me off, went to management and got me fired, I'd have time to harass that customer between job hunting. The admins said that harassment is illegal and reprimanded me for that.

What made me think of this was that a customer DID piss off a call center employe,e so the employee got back by changing the person's name to "Fucking Asshole". Then when said customer got their bill, they saw the name on the paper bill and complained to the company. The company called the IT dept of the call center software, tracked down who made the name change on that customer's account, then went back and fired the call center employee on the spot.

The admins and moderators there just seem very unfair. i'm not saying what i'd like to do is right, but sometimes you have to put customers in their place, and take back that power from the customers that they so love to abuse. Hell, I've worked retail before, so i treat any retail employee the way I'd want to be treated. And unless they really went out of their way to make my life hell, I wouldn't cancel my business just because they're having a bad day & taking it out on me. After a while it felt like I was being singled out for my actions, but thankfully someone else befriended me and said that the posters do get a lot of warning and reprimands.

Finally I put up my thread of work toons, which I also have on here and have gotten complimented on. Here it remains, but there they took it down.

The website of customerssuck.com states that it's a place where workers can go to vent, but apparently the vent seems 1/4 open. I'm not lookin to cause trouble, but I know I won't be going back there anytime soon..

as for tampering with a customers stuff ie. food or drink -- thereis NO way in hell that anyone can do ANYTHING to me that would warrant that kind of retailiation. yes I have their food in my possession for a time BUT it is not worth loosing my job and/or going to jail and/or getting heavily fined.

I wioll not end up like those stupid Dominos employees who did things to customer food and then were STUPID enough to post them on YouTube.

Emax4, or AlAnon at RetailSucks.

Which is funny, since I'm staring right at his cartoons in the art. Maybe a admin should have sent a PM letting him know it was moved to the art.

But that would imply I care about a jackass who insults people for no reason.
