A customer dilemma....
 

You are working as a cashier at a fast food place. Your managers hold strict policies regarding tills and cash shortages, any shortage may result in a week's suspension, or termination of employment, if the amount is high enough.

A teenage boy who is obviously mentally handicapped comes in and orders about £10 worth of food. You hand him the food and he gives you £1 in return and walks away with it.

What do you do?

I call my manager and ask him what should i do :idc:

Bring it immediately to the attention of the Manager and hope they can advise on the best way to deal with it.

I would probably put the money in out of my own pocket.

EDIT:..so the manager is out of the country at the time and not contactable...

..yeah, that's what I would do as well...

I don't know then, it's a tough one, I mean if it was a once off thing I'd probably just put the money in myself but what's to say that this guy thinks oh they take my money there I'll go back again tomorrow

As unfortunate as his situation is, I'd obviously tell him that, that food cost him £10. I'm not risking unemployment when I'd have bills to be paying.

I would for sure put the difference in.

I'd call the police, and SWAT teams. That s**t ain't going down on my watch.

and presumably if he's able to get himself to a fast food place by himself, he should be well enough to understand the concept of money and paying for things

I would drag him back to the till by his ear and make him pay the right amount, the cheeky git

Get Security to arrest him



search him to find out who is charge of him
Phone them - tell them to collect him
take all the shopping back

lol Arista

The point is Someone is in Charge of him.

And Ammi its a Shop
not a Charity.

I agree with this.

No way would I be putting it in for him, especially given that if I am working in a fast food restaurant, chances are I have not much spare cash anyway. There is absolutely no reason for me to buy his food tbh..if hes there unsupervised you would expect that he is not mentally disabled enough to not understand the concept of paying for things, and if that makes me sound harsh so be it.

:joker::joker::joker:


I would let who ever was in charge know straight away and I definitely would not put the money in myself.

I would short change the next 9 people a quid.... hehehe

I would take the food back, £10 is 8 jägerbombs I would be robbed of.

Thats a stupid and old fashioned way of thinking. People who have mental handicaps dont have to have someone in charge of them and can be well capable of living a normal life completely........

You do realise slavery is an outdated concept?
