I work at a grocery store. We have a small "shack" outside that we loan out to groups to do a brat fry for fundraisers. They get special fundraiser prices on the meat, there's no charge to use the shack or the grill. Our only rule is that all meat/drinks/condiments/etc have to be purchased from us. (But, we have groups that will also have bake sales on a table next to the shack, that's fine.) Point is that we get NOTHING from this, except the sale of whatever they're buying to sell. It's a courtesy.
Today we had a group that does several brat fries a year. Usually one each month that the shack is open. They are usually our favorite group to work with. Guy in charge is nice, and because they do so many, they're pretty self-sufficient. Except for the meat, he just goes and grabs what he needs, and all we have to do is scan it to add it to their tab.
He is out of town, today. The guy running it in his place is... not nice. Downright rude and mean. Comes in, announces to me that he's with the brat fry, and asks for the shack to be opened. I radioed the manager that he was there. She comes up with the cart of stuff for me to scan. He instantly is like "do you have the key? It's a little hard to have a brat fry without a grill." My dude has been in my store for like 2 minutes at this point. We don't unlock the brat shack until the group is there and ready to set up. Because of the grill.
It did not stop there. By the time I left, there were at least 4 of us that wanted to stab this man. Dude managed to piss off the DELI MANAGER. Let me make this clear. There is precisely ONE thing about the brat shack that involves the deli: they chop the onions for the condiments. That's it. There is NO reason for this dude to even be TALKING to the deli manager, much less whatever he did to piss him off.
Anyway! That is how I ended up telling my boss that me and 3 of my coworkers were "about to go Ides of March on the brat fry dude."
