She may have gotten defensive about her card getting declined. It ended up being an issue with the machine but she might have had her card declined before for monetary reasons and she was touchy or something. That or she was just having a bad day and venting.

Fast food people, why are some customers unnecessarily assholes to you? You go up to the counter or drive-thru, you place your order, then you wait a bit, pay, get your food and leave. Why do some people get angry during this? I once was in a McDonalds double drive-thru at night, the lady on the intercom was helping me in my lane so no one was helping the fat bitch in the other. After I finished I heard her voice pop over to the other lane and the fat cunt just started going off on her with a bunch of profanity and angry nonsensical bullshit. Why are some people like this?

Every time one of my cards has been declined it's because the credit card company decided to be a bunch of fucktarded assholes.
* I got a second credit card, first card felt offended and lowered my line of credit to below my current balance.
* I bought a house, credit card company decided I was no longer a good credit risk and froze my card.
* I needed to buy an airline ticket while overseas, credit card company refused it on the grounds that I might be a scammer, then sent my calls over a two-bytes-per-hour VOIP line to some bitch in the Philippines who barely spoke English, wouldn't slow down, and played 900 questions, then terminated the call when I couldn't hear 99.99% of what she was blasting at me in rapid-fire half-Tagalog.

Seriously, if they don't want my money, I'm happy to terminate my business relationship with them and go to another company that doesn't mind a customer who has never defaulted or defrauded.

yeah any perceived slight is a slight. it doesn't matter what you said or how you said it, your goal working with customers is to not piss them off. if they get pissed off, no amount of evidence will convince them they are wrong, and only an insanely good boss will tell them to get the fuck out and you don't need their business.
99% of people who rage have never worked in a similar job.
last week a girls card was declined twice in a row. asked if it was locked or if she had another form of payment. she sadly didn't have cash or another card, so I said "that's a wells fargo card, it's probably flagged for fraud or suspicious activity, my brother switched banks because of it" (which was true)
she called, said yes she was paying at location, payment went through.

I got into an increasingly escalating prank war with one of the cooks when I worked at kfc.
It was like 6 years ago, but I remember a couple of stand-out pranks:
>making burgers for drive-thru
>something cold and slimy drips down my back
>cook had sneaked behind me and put raw chicken offal down the back of my shirt
>get him back later that shift by squirting half a bottle of the spicy supercharge sauce how his back
>breaks out in an itchy red rash, serves him right lmao
Another time
>cook knows I hate spiders
>finds and traps one the size of my thumb and releases it in the staff room while I'm on break (it's basically a cupboard)
>ruins my break
>know that he has a phobia of birds (ironic)
>trap 3 live blackbirds in a cardboard box out the back in the enclosed dumpster area and release them while he's out having a smoke
One other time I trapped him in the cooks area by stacking boxes of frozen fries at the only exit and got written up for violating some fire regulation or whatever. I also used to peg ice cubes into his deep fryers from the drive-thru while I was pouring drinks.
Good times, fuck I hated working there.
