A Cashier Sat Down To Eat Her Own Lunch Three Hours Late, But A Customer Was Upset She Wouldn’t Sell It

No matter how much you’ve seen, people will still find ways to amaze you. During a busy morning, this restaurant cashier had to tell a customer she’d missed the cutoff for breakfast.

Of course, the woman wasn’t happy about it, but she ordered lunch and sat down to eat. Later, the cashier finally took a break, and the same customer spotted her breakfast sandwich and started asking questions.

She tried to explain that she’d made it three hours earlier, but that didn’t stop the woman from wanting to know why she hadn’t just sold it to her.

Read on to see how it all played out.

Customer threw a fit because I wouldn’t sell her MY sandwich

I’m the only cashier, so I’ve served every person in the dining room.

Breakfast ended at 11, and these ladies started ordering at 11:05. The one lady huffs and puffs that I won’t make an exception for her breakfast sandwich, even though the eggs are gone and the egg oven is already disassembled.

She ends up ordering lunch but is clearly upset.

When the lady noticed what the employee was eating, she spoke up.

11:30 rolls around, and I finally have a chance to sit and eat my 3-hour-old breakfast sandwich. So I take a seat in the dining room and dig in.

This same lady is sitting two tables across from me now and says, “I thought you said you don’t have any breakfast sandwiches?”

And my mouth is full, so I just smile, still in polite customer service mode. Then I think she just must be joking, so I don’t bother to reply.

But then she adds, “I’ll remember you the next time I want to order something. Clearly, you must have an issue with me.”

Then, the woman asked a ridiculous question.

I’m baffled that she doesn’t just realize I have not had a chance to eat my own breakfast and that this sandwich is old.

If she’s that vigilant, then she should know I’ve been tied to the register with customers since she got in at around 10:45. Yes, in time to order her breakfast!

I roughly explain that I just haven’t had time to eat it for the past 3 hours and that I made it around 8:30 a.m.

To which she replies, “So you couldn’t just sell me that one?”

At this point, she still thought the woman was joking.

No, ma’am. I’m sure that’s against so many health codes, plus I’ve made this without gloves, and it’s customized because it’s MINE.

I wish I said that, but a part of me still thought she was joking, so I said, “You wanted my cold, old sandwich?” and laughed.

She just grabbed her purse and left!

I’m still baffled by my interaction with the entitled Karen in the wild!

Wow! That lady really wanted a breakfast sandwich!

Let’s see what the people over at Reddit have to say about it.

This person seems to side more with the customer.

Yep, pancakes would be breakfast.

This person would’ve tried harder to order in time.

Here’s someone who would just do better as a customer next time.

It’s hard to imagine wanting a breakfast sandwich badly enough to ask for someone else’s.

Most people would’ve heard the explanation and let the cashier eat.

But this woman somehow thought serving customers meant giving up your own breakfast, too.

Hopefully, next time she orders before the cutoff so it’s never an issue again.
