Today, at work, a woman came up to the counter and asked if we made sweet and sour chicken. Before I could answer, she told me a really long recipe and said "I expect to see this on the menu next time I come in, or I will complain to the manager about your lousy work ethic". I work at Starbucks. FML

uhhhhh. xD I think you need to warn the manager about the crazy lady demanding sweet and sour chicken.

Something similar happened to me once. I was working in a B&N cafe (which is basically a Starbucks, but owned by B&N) and this guy came in--in his 20s, so young enough to know better--and was like, "How do you make your chai? Is it with some kind of nasty syrup?" I told him that yes, we did use a syrup, but that it wasn't too nasty. He was then like, "No. That's no good," and he proceeded to tell me various chai suppliers in the area, as if I, a barista at a bookstore, had any authority to change where a large, national corporation bought its chai.

If you get fired when she gets back, that would be an FML

nastily say goodbye. if nothing happens get all your work mates to escort her out. im sure the rest of the people who work with you feel the same way so theyll be happy to get rid of her. make a scene so she gets embarrassed

Tell your boss that you had a customer request sweet & sour chicken be added to the menu. Then you actually don't have a crappy work ethic, you passed the customer demands on to management.
