It’s funny how some customers always think they’re right even when they’re clearly wrong.

This woman shares an experience back when she was working in a fast food restaurant.

She couldn’t understand how customers didn’t understand that a hamburger is a cheeseburger without cheese.

Eventually, she stopped explaining and took another approach when taking customer orders.

Cheeseburger with no cheese

Yeah, I know.

That’s a hamburger.

But try telling that to every single Mrs. After-Church-Karen a hundred times.

And let me know how much you want to press the point.

This woman was tired of being yelled at by customers.

A cheeseburger was 25 cents more than a hamburger.

This was at a fast food restaurant where I worked back in the day.

Eventually, I got tired of being yelled at for correcting/explaining that what people really wanted was a hamburger.

She decided to ring up the order exactly how they said it.

This happened multiple times a month, mind you.

I wasn’t getting paid enough to stupid-proof hangry people’s fast food orders.

So, I started ringing them up exactly the way they ordered.

When she corrected it before, she was reprimanded.

At first, I’d ring them up for a hamburger because I knew that’s what they meant.

But I got chewed out by someone who read their receipt.

So, no more going out of my way to save people from their self-inflicted StupidTax.

The employees caught on immediately.

So, I rang up “cheese burger, no cheese.”

The cook came up to tell me I rang it up wrong.

I just said, “That’s how she ordered.”

My dead-on-the-inside tone said all that I could not express in mere words and the kitchen employees caught on right away.

They never questioned the orders rung up that way again.

It was a win-win situation.

It was a win-win.

I didn’t have to get yelled at for trying to save people money, and the restaurant made an extra buck fifty every month from customers ordering cheeseburgers with no cheese.

She was satisfied with the outcome.

I don’t mean to brag, but sometimes, the restaurant made a whole extra two dollars a month, thanks to me.

It was a little thing, and petty, but it made my retail-weary heart a little glad.

Haha! That’s funny. Let’s read the reactions of other people on Reddit.

This user shares their personal sentiment.

This person is curious.

Someone’s wife can relate to the story.

At least, this person has an explanation.

Finally, this person shares another common concern.

Sometimes, it’s better to give people exactly what they ask for rather than argue with them.
