A Chippie Snaps Back

A Chippie Snaps Back

Dear David

The other day I went down to the Cafe for a bag of chips. After a long queue, my turn came. As usual, I said, "Chips, please". The lady filled up a bag, and to my surprise she said I was not to be served for not saying "Please" to her! She than put it down. Followed, I was fired and felt rather embarrassed. What the shit is this? The new system introduced by the management or just looking for an outlet for the frustration? If this lovely word is so important to the staff there, then why not have the fucking radio turned off so that they can bear it? or if they have hearing problem and yet so fussy, then I would suggest they get the hearing aid ready, or if not, I would suggest they pay full attention to the customers when they are talking or else there is no guarantee that they will hear it. Do you expect us to shout out loudly just to ensure that you actually receive such a lovely word?

Yours faithfully

Pissed off please.

NOW LISTEN YA LITTLE FREAK!
