Today, a customer approached me, smiling and asked what kind of cheese was in our cheddar cheese balls. Thinking he was joking, I laughed and said "swiss." He ordered, found they were indeed cheddar cheese, and reported me. FML
bandaidstations tells us more.
I didn't think it was swiss..I made a stupid joke that backfired. Cheddar cheese balls are the only fried cheese item we carry. There is a 6 foot menu board with the description right under the item. The customer is a regular who comes in and harasses us all the time. He says things like I will go to hell for having a tattoo while he buys lottery tickets out of the machine. Since he laughs the comments he makes off like he's joking, I figured I could joke with him a bit.

There were a few holes in your approach.

Having worked food service I feel your pain. Please tell me your manger laughed, just like I did. Also please tell me you did not get written up.

No, my boss was in the vicinity and heard most of it. He basically told the guy that he deserved it for always bothering us. Gave me a wink and walked away.

This doesn't surprise me. When I worked at Panera I had several people ask me what the difference was between a half sandwich and a whole sandwich. Hopefully you didn't get in trouble.

I would've been like "In our CHEDDAR cheese balls? We have CHEDDAR cheese in our CHEDDAR cheese balls." And let them figure out their stupidity. You ****** up by flat out lying. That made you look dumber than him.

See... Assuming was you're first mistake. You can never assume someone else has more than 2 brain cells to rub together.
