Drinkin' Like a Poor Woman

Recently, a co-worker of mine had an interesting customer experience. That experience was worthy of being documented in this blog.

My co-worker got the pleasure of assisting 2 rich, snobby women. They wanted the sparkling water that we now offer. So my co-worker hands them the bottles and one of the women says "Do you guys have the glass bottles? I like those better." and my co-worker says, "We don't. We recently started carrying them and this is what we were given" The woman then proceeds to ask if we have any glasses she can pour it into you know "Like the one's in that picture?". Naturally, my co-worker says, "No, all we have to offer you is a mug or I can give you a plastic cup if you would like." So of course, the woman takes it. No ice. She merely wants to pour sparkling water in a plastic bottle into a plastic cup. The customer then turns to her friend and says, "Do you want a cup too? I can get her to give you one as well." and her friend says,

"No, I want to drink like a poor woman."

So. Recap. You got a plastic bottle. Poured the same drink into a plastic cup. Way to not save the environment.

She also left her cup and bottle at the end of the bar on the ledge and told her friend to do the same. It is people like her that make me want to quit just so I can tell them off. Seriously, I think I would actually call my boss and quit just so I could tell her off. That would be most rewarding. Also, kudos to my co-worker who managed to not hysterically laugh in their faces.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to drink some water, like a poor woman would.
