Worst person ever gives Dunkin Donuts workers hell over missing receipt

[WCsweet<3]

I feel like half the people anymore don't want the receipt anyway. I probably wouldn't notice if I received a receipt or not.

Why? Not sure if you mean this literally, but if you do, just because you or somebody else ended up in a shitty job you don't like, doesn't mean other folks should be in it.

I feel you. I would have to pass on anything retail, because I know I wouldn't last past the first customer that was rude as hell. If I was that Dunkin Donuts dude, I would have cussed her ass out into next year, and then after I was done, I would have said "Now post that shit on facebook, bitch!"

I did work a retail job at Target when I was in college. I got fired for that very reason. I cussed dude out, and then told him I was going to whoop his ass outside LOL. I got termed real quick. It was cool, because sorry ass retail jobs are easy to get and easy to quit.

I believe you totally missed the point here. He's not mad that he had a "shitty job" and thinks everyone should be miserable. Everyone should work one so that they appreciate what dealing with customers is like... so that they don't act all crazy like this whacko in the video.

He's not looking to pass a law requiring it or anything.

That's why I said "literally" or not.

So based on what I'm reading here, you're saying that folks who haven't worked retail, should, so they can see what it's like. That way, they won't lose their cool because they would have more of an understanding of what it's like dealing with a rude customer. That's what I'm reading.

I call bullshit on that, too. Folks are going to be rude as hell regardless. There are several people who have never worked retail and they wouldn't treat somebody the way that bitch in the video treated dude.

To add to what I just said,and this is just random. It's people that make or break a job. Retail is shitty to most because they are dealing with so many different and rude attitudes, and those same folks are assholes regardless of what kind of job they had/have.

Different strokes for different folks, but why in the hell would somebody need a receipt for a goddamn donut? For real.

This. I actually really like my day job. Can I see myself doing it forever? No, but it gives me a steady income, I have great relationships with my co-workers and bosses, and it's flexible enough to allow me to seek additional employment or schooling.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that most people that go off on people that work in the service industry have either never worked in it, or did long ago and have forgotten what it is like. Breaking it down to the bare minimum, my job is about making people happy. I want to make my bosses happy so I can stay employed, I want to make my co-workers happy so we can support each other during the day. I want to make the customers happy so they will continue to patronize the business, thus also securing my employment.


Also, on lighter note, I remembered this exists. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWx6uA5aCrE

Not really. I was just replying to the way your post read, and you just reiterated what you said, but added the word "some" this time.

Thank you.

See, I'm totally the other way and think it incredibly odd when clerks ask "Do you want your receipt?"

Of course I do. Why would I walk off with no proof of my transaction, and no proof I was charged correctly during the exchange?

Because a donut and coffee just isn't that serious...

Well, for one, the determination of the "seriousness" of the transaction probably best belongs to the person actually in it.

And secondly, for a person in the habit of receiving receipts at the conclusion of a transaction, it is indeed, odd, not to get one.


*this is not meant as a defense of the behavior of the woman in the thread, but generally speaking.

Question for you. So if you bought a 30 cent donut at Dunkin Donuts, you would ask for a receipt? Why?
