» Complaining

Successful complaint - about me!
I'm a long-term lurker, first-time poster. This QOTW seemed a good one on which to break my silence.

Years ago I was a shift manager at a well-known eatery (fronted by a certain red-headed clown). During a long night shift, a smart arse decided to have a bit of a laugh...while lowering one of the electric shutters (which closed off part of the seating area) he popped his foot out under it and let out a cry of 'pain'.

Cue moaning about his 'terribly injured' foot. Far as I know he got a few quid out of them for it...fair play to him really. The CCTV clearly showed him sticking his foot underneath deliberately, but they didn't bother to take a copy and it got deleted!

Incidentally, complaining is a great way of getting free food. Even if the poor lackies have the time to argue with you, they almost always can't be arsed to. God knows how many free greasey treats passed through my hands...
