The Type of Customer • The type of customer in my situation is an argumentative customer. The customer argues that the worker got his order wrong at the drive through.
Blue: Worker taking my orderGreen: Me -“Hello, welcome to McDonalds. May I take your order.” -“I will have two McDoubles, three chocolate shakes, and two vanilla shakes.” -“Okay, that will be $8.68. Please pull up to the first window.”
Purple: Lady that takes the cash -*I pull up to the first window.* -“$8.68.” -*I hand her the money and pull to the next window.*
-“So that’s two McDoubles, three chocolate shakes, and one vanilla shake. -“Wait, I ordered two vanilla shakes.” -“I’m sorry. Can I see the receipt?” -*He checks the receipt and finds that I did indeed order two vanilla shakes.*
