The "Customer Service" Meme



You know how dealing with customers and/or workers can be.  Most of the time it's a giant thorn in your side and one great big headache.  So what happens when it's your character in that situation?

Here's what you do!

● Comment with your character's name and canon in the subject line (with either a blank or non-blank comment, I don't care).
● Other's will comment with their character either giving a store complaint, returning an item, or whatever else customer services is used for.
● Play out the scene and have fun!
● Lather, rinse and repeat.

Albert just blinks for a moment, then decides that a customer is a customer, and maybe once she's sitting down he can ask her how she got here and why she's wearing Dungeons and Dragons gear. He walks to the back and returns with the meager remaining stock of the McDonald's.

"I only have four sausage patties and some fries. You can have five fries." He takes off his glasses and tries to wipe a grease smudge off of them with a rag. "But I have to ration the sausage patties."

In the real world, where money was still a thing, he'd just charge her for all four patties. Unfortunately, that is not the case here.

"What."

There's a tone of mild surprise, heavily coated with annoyance. Lina scowls, then leans on the counter, giving Albert quite the Look™. Her temper hasn't kicked up yet, but it's close to coming undone. "What kind of restaurant you tryin' to run here, huh?"

Oh. It's one of those customers. Were Albert an actual employee of McDonald's, he'd refer her to the manager, but given that he's the only one around, it seems he'll have to deal with this himself.

"Well, we've stopped receiving shipments of food, so I have to ration the sausage patties so we don't run out too fast," he explains. "Unless you want to give me something in return for them, but right now I'm running a free operation."

So I make the rules is implied, but he doesn't make it explicit.

For several moments, Lina stares, then nudges the bag she'd set on the counter toward him, and were he to look at it, the top of it's loose enough to show the gold pieces inside. "I did give you something, guy," she answers. "Or are you looking more to barter goods?"

Albert takes the bag, examines it, and pushes it back towards her.

"Goods. Unless you've got a couple hundred more pounds of that, it's really pretty worthless. We don't have a gold currency system." Or any currency system, at the moment. "What else have you got?"
