Scenario My mom and I were going through the McDonald’s drive-thru in Stillwater during the summer. The vehicle in front of us…
Worker: “Welcome to McDonalds, how may I help you?” Customer: “I would like four ice waters.” Worker: “I’m sorry, you must make a purchase before I can provide you ice water.” Customer: “Are you kidding me!? You people are dumb! Fine, I’ll order! I would like….” (He proceeded to order a continuous list of things adding up cost wise)
Once worker had everything that they ordered added up and ready, the car simply drove away.
Conclusion I believe that the person in the car was an insulting customer. They were just rude and acted inappropriately towards an innocent employee. Irritable/Moody would also fit because of his unpredictable mood. As the worker you wouldn’t have much say in the situation. Although I think the way she approached them with her words during ordering was mature.
