Good for you for standing up for yourself. Nobody deserves to be treated so rudely, I don't care how pretty or ugly you are.

Thank you, No. 136, for getting it. It wasn't the fact that he made me pay and not her; it was the fact that he was so rude to me that irked me. Really, all I wanted to do was order my lunch, pay for it, and sit and eat in peace. Is that too much to ask?

Standing up for yourself like that... Epic!!

Thank you, sir. Thank you. Again, it wasn't the incident itself, it was his unprovoked rude behavior toward me. I was a customer and all I said was, "I'd like the chicken salad special with iced tea, please." All he had to do was fill my order but NOOOO, he had to get a shot in at me.

A similar thing happened to me, as well... I was the one who got a free slice of pizza & as I was walking away, I heard the guy say nearly the exact same thing that was said to you to the girl behind me. I turned around & saw that the girl was nearly in tears at his rudeness. I went right back to the counter, paid for my meal & hers & told him he disgusted me. I told his manager what happened & the other girl corroborated my story, so he was fired right then. I salute you for standing up for yourself against such rudeness & disrespect. We can all only hope that he learned a lesson in manners from the ordeal. If not, then at least you don't have to see him the next time you eat there.

I smell a hater. eewwww

Serendipity Rose, good for you and it is I who salute YOU!! You are part of the solution and not part of the problem. In my situation, the pretty woman who got the free food watched this whole scene then went back to stuffing her face without so much as a shrug. She didn't care that this guy did her a favor and got fired over it; she got her freebie and that was all that mattered to her. You must be a really good person. Most people would have wolfed down their free pizza and let it go at that but you didn't, you went back and did the right thing. You are in the minority.

Bravo, 244. And 133, too! Thumbs up for each.

I agree to an extent, Perdix, but the problem here is that NO ONE paid. If the clerk had charged her $1, rang up $10 and put in the $9 difference out of his own pocket, NOW he's paid, but that didn't happen here. Since the clerk rang up a $10 sale as a $1 sale and collected the $1, the register will balance at the end of the day and his deception will go unnoticed. He stole from the company, which is a form of retail theft. Retail theft is a contributing factor in rising prices, as retailers must cover the costs of the losses directly or indirectly through higher insurance rates. Every time someone steals, either by shoplifting or by a salesperson deliberately undercharging a customer, the cost for all of us goes up.

#148, so the rest of us chipped in to pay for the cashier to have a fleeting moment with a beautiful girl (and give her his number)? I'll bet women are offended at theft, but most guys would be happy to toss a quarter or two in his tip jar to sponsor his Casanova ways. His odds would be better if he had gotten her number.

No retailer offers a 90% discount to its employees so that is just ridiculous, plain and simple. If all of you are willing to spend your own money in an effort to help a stranger get into the pants of another stranger that is your business, but I would prefer to spend my money on other things. Look, all I am saying is that retailers are in business to turn a profit. They are not a food/products subsidy program for attractive women as determined by the sales people.

Y'all do realize that perdix comment was totally tongue in cheek, right?

#235, mostly tongue in cheek. Shelling out money to be in the presence of beautiful women is a pleasure. (I'm not talking about hookers.) Buying drinks, lunch, coffee, etc. to hang out with a pretty girl is a very easy way to spend money. Even if you end up going home and spanking it alone, it's still worth it ;)

If they ordered together and he only discounted the good looking one then he'd be an ass but he didn't so stop whining!

It isn't the fact that he works at a coffee shop that makes him a douche. It's the fact that he stole from his employer by deliberately undercharging a pretty customer in an effort to get a date with her, then charged a woman he didn't want to go out with full price, that makes him a douche. He is a douche because he is in control of a cash register and he is using his dick to decide that some people get steep discounts while others pay full price. One wonders how often he does this and how much money, over time, his shop is losing because of this practice.

Yes, thank you, coolbrony. And if the clerk had given her his discount he most likely would have mentioned it to her since he was trying to impress her.

yes, or at least not be so damn obvious about it.
