People who speak in a rude way

[AdmiralKird]

At our local Kerasotes movie theater, the workers at the concessions HAVE to say "Would you like to get the (insert next largest size here) for only 25 cents more?"

IMO, this has to be one of the worst business practices I have ever witness and it unnerves me to no end. I always look them straight in the eye with my forehead titled forward and my eyebrows down and moving nothing but my lips and jaw I say "NO." I don't like these harassing marketing schemes, and I will fight back in every immediate way possible.

well, I didn't hear the tone, but none of that strikes me as getting pissy. If it were face to face, it would be different. There's less chance to hear things incorrectly. If it were me - and I've worked a few counters in my day - none of that would bother me.

And I pretty much speak to everyone like they're a machine. I'm a cold son of a [expletive].

Oh, I wasn't specifically referring to that.

Here's a for instance.... a guy I went to college with loves to tell the story of the time they put tomatoes on his burger after he told them not to. He pulled them off, drove back around through the drive through, and threw the tomatoes back into the window, then drove off.

That wasn't cool...

It sounds like the ol' "fire in the hole" prank.

I'd be lying if I said I don't think it's funny. I had to laugh... the first time. But yeah, it's not really cool.

I said [dramatic pause] NO



ADDED - I hate upselling either direction-I used to work a retail gig. It's no fun doing it, either.

Thank you.

I worked in restaurants during high school, if some d-bag talked to me like that he would've got a floor burger with the special saliva sauce.
