I can't serve you, actually I will

[mumanger]

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?

Why would she have asked if she wasnt going to offer something? 🤦‍♀️

You were rude.

She wasn't an arse by telling you she was shut. They close at a certain time, you went to join the queue and she has told you they were closed. So if she stayed open for you and then someone else joined the queue, is she meant to stay open until there is no queue?! Just because you want something and you are told you cannot get it, it does not mean you need to take this out on the person working there. 'I want' doesn't equal 'I get'. You are the rude one here.

Also, maybe she only had a certain amount of bases left, therefore that's why she asked you how many pizzas.

With nothing but care and peace I think you'll look back on this thread and realise yes you had a mum rage moment. I can completely imagine how frustrating this was. However, perhaps she was trying to help you out after reading your body language and thinking maybe I can do something rather than closing without helping her.

Get a Snickers into you before you ever leave the house again. To quote the teens of today, it's just not that deep. She personally couldn't give a flying fk about how many you wanted, she was just trying to see if she could help you. It's just pizza, not your bank details.

Isn’t the OP a delight!

Prime example of the shit retail workers have to deal with!! Well done op...

Yes she was closed.
But being an actual person rather than a jobsworth decided if you just needed something quick she could help.

Its not difficult. Maybe you wanted 10 complicated ones, in which case she'd have said no can do.

sounds like she was trying to be helpful? you either want the pizza or you don’t x

I feel sorry for anyone who works in retail.

Touche OP, you're clearly a giant wit

She could have said it more nicely. Like “I’m really sorry but we’re closing now” and I’m sure you wouldn’t have got angry in the first place

You was rude

Hopefully next time she sees you she tells you to have the get stuffed crust

I agree OP. It’s like she’s messing you about. I find my local pizza counter a bit like that. They clearly hate their job and want to make it as awkward as possible and try to make you feel like an inconvenience

Classic MN AIBU:
OP - AIBU?
Pretty much everyone - Yes!
OP - No I’m not!

Why bother asking in the first place if you’ve got such a bad attitude?

If you had said that to me you would has been wearing the pizza.
Not heard of anyone so entitled or lacking in grace for a long time.

Wow the rudeness of you.

ASDA pack up all the unused topping and wrap it for sale if it's that day's date/use by - I know this as I had a tray of meatball topping through my till on Wednesday.
And they do reduce the ready made pizzas if they are that day's date too.

Why post in here?
You either know your reaction to the pizza event or you don't 🤷🍕🍍

it wouldn’t surprise me if she did.

Why should she grovel. It’s pizza counter closing time, they’re closed. Why does the worker need to be “really sorry” OP didn’t turn up within the many hours they’re open?

She saw you were unhappy, was kind and you were awful to her.

Good grief, what a ridiculous thread. Situations change OP, no idea why you're being so rigid about the whole open/shut aspect. She rightly told you the counter was shut, to allow time to serve the customers ahead of you and close on time. It probably took less time than she'd allowed, she saw you were still in the vicinity so went to try and fit you in.

You need to assess people's actions as well as their words. Her asking you how many you wanted was clearly her re-opening the conversation and letting you know she might be able to fit you in, assuming you didn't want loads of pizzas. You were rude.

🍕🍕🍕🍕 There you go OP…….pizza!

How do you mean 'conditions'? Why would she ask how many you want if she wasn't going to try and quickly make them for you?
She was trying to be helpful? But why should she serve people beyond the time she's permitted or paid to do so? Clearly it didn't make you feel like a satisfied customer. Which is a shame.

Nobody wants to work in retail. I wonder why?
