He Saw A Man Berate A Young Female Server & Said Min-Wage Employees Don’t Deserve Jobs. But Then This Happened.

(I witness a medium-sized customer, wearing a business suit, ordering coffee.) Customer: "I thought I told you to make a double-double with milk, not this swill with cream!" Cashier: "I'm sorry, sir. I'll remake it for you." Customer:"D*** f****** right you will. Morons like you shouldn't even have a job." Me: "Hey! The lady made a mistake and she's remaking it for you. Calm the hell down."

(Customer #2 pays for my tea and sits down with me, asking about what I did for a living. Turns out, his store is looking for a new computer-tech, and he offers me the job right there. Lesson learned? Don't underestimate the power of sticking up for people.)
