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?

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.

I wasn't rude.

After telling someone you are shut then why ask them how many they want? To give them further disappointment? Either say "I'm sorry I can only do one pizza" or shut.

She probably asked how many you wanted to see if she had enough toppings left to make them up.

Everyone thinks you were...

Op I hope you are ok. I answered your post in good faith but you are rather defensive and it's making me wonder why you posted.

She could have communicated just one but maybe she realised she could have accomodated two or three, just not half a dozen and was checking.
It's a shame you didn't just answer the question. After a day on her feet in a supermarket and probably keen to get home to her family, she shouldn't have to put up with rudeness.

Have you never changed your mind? Said no to something and then thought actually why not?

‘You’re shut so why does it matter’ is rude.

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

She was an arse by telling me straight away she was shut. And then rudely ask "how many pizzas do you want" without putting any context in it

This is one of the most bizarre posts I've read on here.
There was no need to be rude to her

DarkForces · 03/01/2026 19:09

How else does your 'mum rage' display itself or is it just pizza that induces this level of rage?

I wasn't rude.

She said she was shut.

She then asked how many pizzas I wanted. Why was it her business? She was shut.

She didn't say "if you just need one or two I can squeeze you in".

Who do you think has come out best from this interaction?
You’re still stewing on it, and you don’t have your pizzas. She probably forgot all about it the second you left, and is home with her feet up and her desired dinner.

How much more context do you want? You were at a pizza counter, not strolling along a beach. What could she possibly have been talking about other than how many pizzas did you want?!

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

Pizza is life.

Terriblytwee · 03/01/2026 19:11

You really need to work on your attitude lady.

EchoedSilence · 03/01/2026 19:11

I'd have given you a pizza my mind if I was her.

youalright · 03/01/2026 19:11

Either this isn't real or you have some kind of brain damage or you're just a horrible person im not sure which

Wtf is ‘mum rage’ and what does it have to with you being a twat to a retail worker?

Haha! I haven’t heard that for a while either! She must be a child of the 80s - albeit an extremely angry/triggered/ragey one!

I wasn't being a twat.

Being asked how many pizzas I wanted from a member of staff who told me they were shut is a twat thing to do.

You can feel angry without owning it. Try to put some perspective on this and future interactions.
