The names and locations have been changed to protect the job of a certain individual:
We were eating in a restaurant this summer that my brother worked at. 3 very large campers and their counselors came in to the place to get some food to go. The campers ordered enough food to feed a king and then the counselors started hassling the kids to get going while they ordered their own huge orders. One of them wanted to buy an item in bulk and even though my brother kept saying we normally don’t do it like that- they kept persisting and acting quite rude in the process claiming that the owner always hooks them up. Classic NY hockers you might say.
My husband and I sat and were mortified at the way these two morbidly obese counselors were treating my brother who stood quietly behind the counselor. He finally said “fine I’ll give you the tray for $60″ and essentially gave into their rather rude demands.
Later on as we were driving home my brother called and said “I couldn’t say anything in the restaurant, but we normally charge $45 for that item” Now I understood how he could take all that crap from those counselors.
I just wish I could see the look on their faces when they realized that their rudeness got them gipped.

Haha. Sock to em.
I knew you’d like that one Jacob!
Bet they like that hahah.
Supply and demand economics work for the mob so why not for you too.
There’s a new book out called Waiter rant : thanks for the tip–confessions of a cynical waiter that essentially details from a first person perspective, all the things waiters do to get back at rude and/or cheap customers.
Caveat Emptor!
Clearly this was not a case where the customers were trying to get something for free or otherwise scamming the restaurant, because they were willing to pay for it. So actually, the server stole money from the customers because they wanted to buy a lot of food rather than a small portion. I don’t see any virtue in what the brother did.
No virtue- he just kept insisting that they don’t have that offer and he didn’t want to give it to them. They kept on insisting so they screwed themselves- A23 thats your longest comment ever.
I like A23, come visit my blog too, dude!
How horrible! The customer is always right. Or didn’t you know!?
I know you said you changed details, but still why give yourself a husband?
Good job. turn the tables on these hockers.
Hockers, what can you do. A23, the guys didn’t get ripped off, they were just charged a service fee for time rendered.

If you take into consideration these arrogant porkies would probably went and used the extra $15 on more food than they need, then you are really giving them the gift of better health. Give that cashier a raise! What a mesch!
Kind of like a “pain in the butt” fee! If you’re annoying and rude, you get charged extra – what’s wrong with that?
how do you feel about me correcting spelling mistakes? for it? against it?
Well normally they just spit in your food and drop it on the floor so consider them lucky.
