By eat my fucking ass, boss - 06/12/2013 23:37 - Australia - Melbourne

Today, a customer threatened to come back later and shoot the whole place up. Why? I didn't give him a discount on his beer. My boss's reaction when I called the police: "Why didn't you give him the discount?!" Last week he bitched me out for letting a girl off for being a few cents short on hers. FML

Sorry for your shitty boss OP. You should definitely look for another job, or refer him to upper management. Besides it's not like you knew how the guy would react.

Tell him you're sorry and that you didn't know he had a different opinion everyday !!!!

Yeah good way to get the boss on side, insult them. good luck with that.

Some customers just look for anything to be discounted. I have had customers say their food and drinks are amazing. When their check comes, they complain and want something taken off. I'm sorry op. It's a lose/lose situation.

I agree. I worked at a convenience store & one of the regular customers would complain about everything. She would get items that weren't on sale & complain about why she couldn't get it at the discounted price. Something was always wrong when she came in.

If you want my two cents worth, your boss would probably fire you.

You must live in a different Australia than I did, I don't recall there being anything between 0 cents and 5 cents in Australian currency. Still though, good luck with your boss.

So you've never came across a product priced at $??.99c, 98c etc then? not sure what rock you live under. We have the same sort of pricing. You either round it up or down, simple.

some states removed the penny. (like canada) they say it costs like 5cents to make the peenny. so why dont you do your research before saying that someone lives under a rock

Jokes on him, how could he possibly have a gun after a gun ban? The law will protect you just fine.

What? We still have guns here, you just need a license. Not to mention not every one follows the law.

What we don't have is 1 and 2 cent pieces. How was someone 3 cents short? Was it a card transaction?

The service industry never pays enough. Especially when the threat of a drunken shoot out is presented.

I've had bosses like them, keep your head up and ignore their fickle choices.
