I wonder what would happen if someone else threw a similar tantrum with the topic "people who throw tantrums (like that other guy) shouldn't get what they want".

I mean, I know what would happen, you'd get permanently trespassed and the other guy would get a comped meal, but you know, it'd be funny for five minutes.

I've been waiting for someone to go off on a service employee in front of me so I can kinda do that, although I plan on saying something similar to, "who the fuck do you think you are? That's a human being, and they have no control over [issue]."

I can get away with it because I'm a large, imposing dude with a deep booming voice. As long as my wife isn't with me, because she gets mad at me for getting involved.

I was waiting on a pickup order for food once and a lady walks in and started going off because it was 8:07, she didn't have her food, and her order was supposed to be ready at 8:05. There's like 10 people waiting, they are obviously overwhelmed and doing the best they can.

Me, being a bigger guy as well, chimed in with: "It's obviously busy in here, they're doing their best. I've been waiting patiently for about 10 minutes, and some people have been here longer than me." Another guy chimed in "My order was due at 7:45, calm down lady!" She huffed and walked away from the counter glaring at us.

A few minutes later the worker came out and says "Order for Karen?" Lady grabs her bag and leaves... Other guy and I share a look and both started laughing.

I got a $10 gift card for my "inconvenience".
