The worst thing that ever happened to me at work happened a little less than a year ago, a month after I got a job at a movie theater. I was working hard, when this older woman came up to the counter. She looked like your run-of-the-mill rich old lady. I smiled politely, and asked her what she wanted, and she said that she wanted a small popcorn. I asked her if she wanted butter on it (there's no self-serve because we use real butter at our theater and it's expensive), and she looked at me like I was the dumbest person on the face of the earth and said no. So I gave her the popcorn, and asked if she wanted anything else. She asked for a sweetened iced tea. I get it for her. Then she yells at me at how she didn't want a sweetened iced tea, she wanted a honey iced tea. I apologize and give her the correct drink. She payed and went on her way. The first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows had just come out a couple days before, so the theater was absolutely slammed with lines out the door. About two minutes after the woman went to find her seat, she comes back, cuts in line before everybody and told me how there was "A giant mess of popcorn on the ground" and how "Somebody must not have cleaned the last show" and how I "should go clean it up right away." I asked her if it could wait until the line died down, and she refused and essentially forced me to go clean up popcorn that somebody had probably spilled on the way into the theater. Later, about halfway through the movie, she comes out for a popcorn refill and I give it to her. I tell her that refills are a dollar, and she responded by taking a dollar out of my tip jar and saying "No, this one's on you, since you did such an awful job."
