I would re-share this, but I think she's already had her 15 minutes of fame. What a jerk.

I'm actually surprised the police weren't called in this case. I would have thought this girl was unstable, and I would have definitely called the police.. or at least threatened to do so.

This is an 8 minute video. It's not as if she walked in, complained, received a free donut and coffee and walked back out.

I'd like to think that I'd even make that phone call if I was just one of the customers in the store.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not blaming anyone who was working at DD that day. I just think that in such a situation, getting the police involved (or at least threatening to do so) wouldn't be completely irrational.

Someone who's that crazed over a receipt needs help. I can't tell if she's seriously mentally unstable or just a b*tch. I've seen both working in retail.

Never let anyone talk to you that way. If your management is worth working for, they'll have your back with someone like that.
This. One thing Starbucks and Nordstrom both tell their employees is that they have a right to be treated with respect. They do not expect employees to put up with abusive customers.

The university I used to work for has a special extension to which abusive callers can be transferred. After asking the caller to stop shouting/swearing/etc, the employees can transfer them to the line if the behavior persists. That extension offers a recorded message saying that university employees are not required to entertain abusive callers and asks the caller to phone back when they are ready to speak in a polite manner.


The extension was X-4355........................

That's awesome. My company needs that. When patients get irate on the phone with me (not often, but it's happened a few times) I tell them "I'm going to hang up now." I just don't listen to it.

The amount of rudeness I and people I know in the same business is insane. There's no excuse.
Working in a service industry teaches you SO much. Even if you think you're a great person to be served to, it teaches you even more.

The worst is that she was bringing other people into this. She's the worst kind of person.

Probably would have referred her to the manager and been done with it. Short of that, if he was going to honor her order, she'd have had to produce a receipt from yesterday.

At least they had the good sense to be in DD and not KK, though. Never understood American's misguided fascination with KK.

Wait. What? I thought this whole thing was because she didn't get a receipt yesterday.

But I had my volume turned way down, so I may have misunderstood.

You're right. skip the recipt part. Still would have just referred her and her beligerence to the manager to resolve the matter.

We do not need to bring ink and paper into this!

Welp, just goes to show what her background looks like. She was already disrespectful long before she got to the Dunkin Donuts guy.
