Folks…this is how it’s done!

And if you’ve never had a boss stick up for you as this guy did, all I can say is that you’re missing out! Because customers come and go, that’s for sure.

But a solid boss and a good staff- that’s the good stuff!

Check out what this pizza shop worker had to say about a rude customer AND a great boss who had their back.

The owner of the restaurant kicked out one of my tables for yelling at me about a receipt.

“It was my first day at a pizza restaurant.

This place was always SLAMMED… it’s really where I learned how to be a good server, before that I worked at overstaffed burger joints or Italian restaurants.

Things were moving pretty fast but I was doing surprisingly well. I had about 10 tables and I was used to 3-4 table sections. I will never forget this couple that came in and sat down at table 24. They were an old couple.

I’m talking both gray haired and over dressed to be at a pizza restaurant. I will say I did give them excellent service despite my frazzledness of starting a new job. I was feeling it, and felt great about handling all of my tables…until I did mess up.

The man at table 24 handed me his card to close out. I’m BUSY.. like didn’t even have time to pick a wedgie if I had one, busy. I go to the computer and swipe his card. Admittedly I forgot to print out the itemized receipt, which I get can be very frustrating.

He was one of these types of customers…

Man at table 24 had every right to be upset. But instead of asking me to grab the itemized receipt, he began to LOUDLY, in a small room, with a deep and firm tone tell me how horrible I am at my job.

That no wonder I only got as far in life as working at a pizza shop. He kept going on with these TERRIBLE comments and wouldn’t let me walk away when I tried.

So now all of my other tables just saw me get ripped a new one, and I’m in the weeds after wasting time getting yelled at by this guy.

The owner of the restaurant must have come in at some point.

He saw this man yelling at me, came up to the table and did the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

It was GO time.

Owner: “Excuse me sir,” he says to the man at table 24, “I am the owner of this establishment. I’m not sure what the problem is here and frankly, I don’t care. What I do care about is you belittling my waitress. So I’m going to ask you and your wife to leave and not come back to my restaurant.”

Man at table 24: “Fine but you’ll be losing our business.”

Get lost!

Owner: “I really don’t care, and don’t want people like you in my restaurant anyway.”

It was the coolest thing I had ever seen. The owner STOOD THERE AND WAITED for these people to leave. It was awesome.

After they left the owner came up to me and said: “Screw those people. You’re doing a great job and I wouldn’t have hired you if you didn’t show potential. If anyone else talks to you like that I want you to tell them to get out. I don’t want their money.”

Coolest. Boss. Ever.”

That sure was satisfying, don’t you think? And this doesn’t happen very often, let me tell ya. Good on this guy!

Every boss should take a page out of this guy’s book!
