yesterday i was at register and someone ordered just a water when it was a little busy i took one more person’s order then saw no one else coming so i washed my hands and went to go help my coworker then the person came up to me again asking where their water was then i explained to them that it’ll be out soon we have other drinks in the queue they responded “okay but where’s my water?” i repeated myself then they said “are you confused?” when i said no they asked “are you busy?” i paused and said “yes we’ll get to your water soon as possible” while there was around 7 other people waiting for drinks then they walked away saying forget it then they had their mom and aunt (fyi this person was at least 17) ask to speak to our manager to complain then went a rant when talking to her that im not even going to get into

If we are busy and someone walks to the handoff to order water- I direct them to the register, or I call down and yell “can you ring in a cup of water??” If they complain after that, I tell them we make the drinks in the order they were received. People are dicks, but this generally makes them calm down.

Yep we sure do make the drinks in the order they are received. If they dont like it. They are extremely welcomed to purchase a bottle of water 🤗

COMPLAIN ABOUT WHAT? IS SHE EVEN A CUSTOMER? WHAT DID SHE BUY? Next time u need to be cut throat and dry—“there are drinks ahead of you. You need to wait. I’m not gonna stop and make your free water while the others paid $8 for their drinks. That being said we are busy. ARE YOU CONFUSED HOW A LINE WORKS?”

I don’t entertain these people and I make them wait. If they said I’m not gonna wait then they can leave.
