So I'm working at DQ tonight, okay? And this kid comes up and orders some stuff, dragging his brother and mother along with him. Now, I'm not one to comment on styles, but good god, this kid was as "Wangsta" as you could get. Horrifying. Like, I don't like Emo stylings, but bad Wangsta is worse than bad Emo.
So he orders some chicken strips, a pumpkin pie Blizzard, and 2 cheese burgers for his brother and his mom. Then, he starts kicking his little brother. The little brother whines and then cries out "I'm gonna kill you!"
The kid just kinda laughs.
So, I'm really bored. So I start talking.
"Actually, The interesting thing about that is that if you did, I couldn't do anything. Employees are not allowed to take any action against criminal acts unless a supervisor witnesses them."
The mom stares at me. The kid and his brother are slack jawed.
"Really? That sounds stupid."
"It is. The way our contracts are worded is such that, as long as we're on the clocks, we can't take ANY actions against a customer unless a supervisor permits it. Criminals still qualify as potential customers, strangely enough."
Yeah, I'm making this up off the top of my head. But they believe it.
"Oh my god, that's horrifying."
"Well, the wording is useful for keeping employees in line whenever a particulary annoying customer comes in. But when taken to that measure, it results in situations like I just described."
Then their food came up, and they sat down, shaken and eying the other customers suspiciously. Once in awhile one of them would look up to me, I'd make eye contact and nod solemnly.
So, members of the osu! community: Am I evil?
