Same idiot who probably tanked the A&W 1/3 pound burger because "a quarter of a pound is more than a third of a pound".

People in the breakfast drive-thru are fucking savages. My first (and only, thank glob) shift had some prick tell me to get my head out of my ass for forgetting to hand him his coffee.

There's times where I'm being offered discounts and I don't want them because it's typically getting me to sign up for some horseshit, accept things I don't want or buy more then I actually needed to get the discount which inturn makes the whole thing cost more.

Other times, I just don't want your shit fries or sugar water...which is almost always. It's not a deal if I actually have to spend more to get it. I have yet to see something be cheaper just because...there's always a catch.

That said, a gun is far from the appropriate response and screw that prick for doing what he did

From the article, it sounds like the guy bought some sandwiches and coffees and did the math, then was told a lower price because the cashier punched them in as combos (sandwich + coffee) rather than individual items.

The cashier's total was lower than what the customer calculated, and he got upset because he thought the cashier missed something from his order. Then when he found out the cashier did something nice for him, it shattered his world view...

  • A minority helped him financially
  • A minority made a smarter decision than he did
  • A minority corrected his "mistake" without being asked
  • And to top it all off...this minority was a cashier...

So feeling a mix of shame and confusion, he needed to reaffirm his righteous place in the world by hurling racist slurs and threatening the cashier with a gun.

The cashier did absolutely nothing wrong or sketchy, not even by accident.

If anyone unknowingly orders two sandwiches on buy-one-get-one-free day, any rational human being would be happy to be charged half the price they expected to pay.

Add I read it, the guy orders what he always orders and expects it to be $8, but it's $6 (or whatever) because of an Easter discount (probably a buy 2 for the price of 1) and says that they got his order wrong, then got poised off because the guy said it was a discount

The kid probably should have read the order back before explaining it
