weird AM PM experience this morning

[happybat4]

I went inside to get an iced coffee today. I filled the cup with ice and went to fill it with vanilla latte. Nothing came out and the Indian guy working there told me the cold coffee is not working and they only had brewed coffee at the moment.

I only like cold coffee so I threw the cup away and grabbed 2 red bulls for $4.

I went up to the register with my 2 red bulls. The price came out to 6 dollars and some change. I explained that the Red Bull was only 2 for $4. He said yes but I threw away a cup and I had to pay for it. I told him he needs to put up a sign saying cold coffee machine is out of service.

I told him I was not going to pay for it. He told me he would report me to police then. I just left without buying anything. Pretty strange situation.

So you spit on him right?

 

Also aren't you a teacher?  "I through the cup away"

[Lhalo]

Better watch your back. They have the detectives working in shifts to find you.

No I didn't spit on him. I do teach. That was autocorrects fault. Good thing I only teach social studies.

So where are you now? Still in WA?

[happybat4]

Washington for the time being. The wife and I got an apartment in Alexandria, VA with a move in date of Dec. 1st. Hopefully I can get a full time teaching position there. Substitute teachers make crap there

Couldn't you have put more ice in the cup and put hot coffee in?  At least that's the way I used to make ice coffee.

Don't worry about Apu.

He is all bark and no bite

[Hollyw00d]

Should have gone to Starbucks and been honestly robbed of your money

I hate doing that because the ice melts and waters down the coffee.

Middle easterners can be cheap-wadded dicks. Taxi drivers are the worst. Glad you didn't cave into that asshole and pay him.

Were you actually going to drink both redbulls? Isn't that kind of bad for your heart?

India is in the Middle East now?

Wow.  

[JAHV76]

Too much good stuff.

[TobiasFunke]

Wow.

That was my reaction after reading it also

[wopphil]

You guys get your panties into bunches way too easily.

[mtangelsfan]

Racist comments might get those kind of reactions.  Just maybe.

[Brandon]

To be fair, it could have been racist for the OP to call the guy Indian.

 

You handled it well OP. I might not have been so nice and am an asshole about dumb shit like that......maybe going back to the machine and taking a small portion of the cups and throwing them in the trash.

 

That shit bugs me.

[wopphil]

"Racist" is probably the most overused (and wrongfully at that) term on this board. It seems as though some people on here just look for anything they can to call "racist." It is a little overdone.

Believe it or not, I am aware that India is not actually a part of what we commonly refer to as the "Middle East."

[mtangelsfan]

Come on dude, when you say "People from (insert geographical area) are (insert negative remark) it is pretty much the definition of a racist comment.  Is that term overused?  Absolutely, just not here.

My initial, apparently inflammatory post, was mostly in jest, particulalry the part about Indians being middle easterners.

But I was being serious about middle eastern taxi drivers being cheap wadded dicks. I have had several very bad encounters with middle eastern taxi drivers that cause me to hold them (that is, taxi drivers; not all middle easterners) in rather low regard.

Like the same regard of which most people hold lawyers?

[InsideThePark]

Wasn't phil the one who said that Russians are GODLESS in the Ukraine thread?

Of course we'll take you at your word that you were joking but I think most didn't get it, which is why it might have come across the wrong way.
