For reference, the name of the vendor in question will be left anonymous, as well as my workplace. Just thought I’d mention that.

So I (M31) work at a food court at my local mall. During my time working here, this one place that’s here has been letting me have free drinks as well as free refills.

Well, today, I managed to fuck it all up. The owner of the vendor was at the till, and when I asked for a soda, he rang me up for $3. Now, me thinking he must’ve forgotten about my free drinks, I got confused. He said that’s how much they always were, and that’s when I mentioned the free soda I’d get. Big mistake…

He gets angry and starts demanding which one of his workers is doing that so he can fire them. One thing to know about me is that I am NOT good with confrontation, so I got flustered and started stumbling over my words while this guy is screaming at me to tell him. One of the workers there somehow gets him to chill, and tells me to just come back later. I felt SO horrible throughout my shift, but DID end up getting a soda somewhere else.

Never did hear from those guys for the rest of the day as they would end up getting closed down for the day (or maybe permanently, I dunno) and I have no idea why. Going forward, I’m just gonna pay the $3 there (if they ever open back up). It ain’t no big loss, plus I’ll still get free refills! :D

TL;DR: I thought the owner of a food court vendor knew I got free drinks, he didn’t and got angry, I got my soda somewhere else, they closed up shop for unknown reasons
