I can't serve you, actually I will

I don't know if my mum rage is out of control but I went to Asda pizza counter and they were closing so I was told as soon as I joined the queue of 2 people that they were shut. They don't display time and the lights were on, so I was a bit annoyed.

I went to look at the premade pizzas, very annoyed but I didn't say anything to the lady. She then asked how many pizzas I wanted, I reminded her she was shut so why does it matter.

Aibu - either shut and be shut, or serve people?

Bloody hell, she thought she could squeeze in your order and you were an arse.

LVhandbagsatdawn · 03/01/2026 18:59

It's a pizza. It doesn't matter.

ContentedAlpaca · 03/01/2026 18:59

Gosh. She decided to do something kind and make your pizza before coming off her shift and that was how you responded. Poor woman

Motnight · 03/01/2026 18:59

How's the pizza, Op 😬

Renohouse · 03/01/2026 18:59

Bit off your own nose to spite your face there....

Dominoeffecter · 03/01/2026 19:00

She tried to be kind and you threw it back in her face 😱

ColdAsAWitches · 03/01/2026 19:00

She was trying to be helpful and see if she could squeeze your order in even though her counter was closed. You acted the bitch to her. Yes, you're being unreasonable.

Bunnyotter1896 · 03/01/2026 19:01

Is it not just she noticed you were disappointed and thought even though i am shut if its just a small order i will do it anyway. Is it not possible she was trying to be nice since you got there so close to closing. Your mum rage is out of control.

mumanger · 03/01/2026 19:01

How is it kind? She told she straight away she wouldn't serve me. So I had to look for premade pizzas. So why then change? And it's "how many do you want" it wasn't "I can squeeze you in if you order just one". It was conditions.

Maybe she asked you because she had started sorting out the pre-made ones for reductions and was going to give you those 🤔

santasbaubles · 03/01/2026 19:02

There’s no such thing as “mum rage”, you were just rude.

It was a good couple of minutes after she told me.... She's either shutting or not.

You were rude OP. Hopefully she wasn't having an awful day. You clearly were. I hope it gets better.

Of course people are going to be disappointed if they can't get a pizza.... So why should it matter either way. You are either shut or not.

Well you’re the one without the pizzas too wanted, so I know who the loser is in this scenario.

Why did you think she asked? So she could laugh at you?

She was, very clearly, about to do you a favour, and you responded in such a bitchy way she will probably never do a customer a favour again.

It's not "mum rage", whatever that is, it was just you being snappy for no reason.

DarkForces · 03/01/2026 19:04

Ah well. You got to vent and she got to go home on time. Win win

She was shutting, but tried to do you a favor. And you're still arguing that you were right and that you were right to be rude to her. You're unbelievable.

frenchnoodle · 03/01/2026 19:04

Rude then, rude now.

DameOfThrones · 03/01/2026 19:05

No need to go off the deep pan end OP.

youalright · 03/01/2026 19:06

Jesus someone tries to do something nice for you and thats how you react. What you like when someone is horrible to you

Do me a favor when she already told me she was shut?

How is that doing me a favour? Why not do the favour in the first place?

Or actually provide what they are supposed to...
