Okay so here's the scoop. I go to Subway about once a week. I always get the same sandwich. Most of the guys there recognize me and we usually share a couple jokes. I am a nice guy, and I am always as pleasant as possible to these people because I know that kind of job sucks, and shitty customers make it worse. Fucking I even toss them a tip if I end up with a dollar change or something.
The last few times I've been there, this one guy has ignored me completely and waited for one of the other (busy) employees to get to me. When they're serving me, he gives me a fucking death stare. Now, I'm not a paranoid guy, so I just ignored it as him probably having a bad day and needing a break or something-- whatever.
Tonight I go there and I buy my sandwich as usual, and I notice him standing in the back giving me the staredown. I also notice he's not even in uniform. Whatever, I think to myself, he probably just got off his shift and was hanging out. So as I'm paying for my sandwich, I notice this big muscle man hovering near me for no good purpose. I don't make a big deal about it, but as I'm heading for the door, I see the guy that hates me standing outside, waiting for me, staring right fucking at me.
I go outside, and he immediatly jumps down my throat claiming that every time I come there, I insult his brother who works there (I didn't realize these two guys were brothers, but they had the same dreadlock hair style so I guess it goes to figure). Now I'm completely taken off guard because 1) I go OUT OF MY WAY to be nice to these people and 2) He doesn't even approach me civilly, he comes out guns blazing and acting like he wants to kick my ass.
At this point, I notice Muscles is hovering around right by the door with his arms crossed giving me the stare-down. So I realize this is the guy's insurance in case I were to physically explode (which I wouldn't, I'm not so petty). But I get so fucking pissed off, I end up shouting and cussing back at him telling him how I never gave anyone a hard time, and demanding examples. He pisses around and just keeps repeating "Fuck you man and stay away from my brother, just stop fucking coming here."
So of course I'm thinking, who the fuck does this guy think he is. He is maybe 18-20 years old (I am 21) and he is telling flat out insulting me without any proof and trying his best to threaten and scare me, which is laughable at best because we're standing out there in front of a Subway in a happy rich suburbia shopping strip... This isn't some gangsta back-alley shit. It's just two white guys being obnoxious.
I quickly realize this is not going to go anywhere because he is extremely hot-headed (as am I) and was clearly not open to a reasonable discussion (granted, I turned into an asshole pretty quick, but at least I was asking for some good reasons).
So I left, absolutely pissed to shit that this fucker would accost me like that in public in such a confrontational manner. I was pissed off for hours, and muttering how I was going to go back tomorrow morning and find the manager and do some serious bitching.
I am still pissed off, but now that I have a cooler head, I was trying to see it from his point of view. So I figure for SOME reason he or his brother think I'm an asshole... Fine. Somewhere along the line I guess these guys are insecure or something and built up this horrible image of me in their heads and managed to take anything I do the wrong way. And then I thought, okay, if that's the case, then I guess maybe it is admirable that this guy is sticking up for his brother. But the fact that he waited for me outside and immediatly cusses me out with his bodyguard standing by was such a horrible and immature way to go about it that it just left me seething with anger.
Even if the guy waited out there and pulled me aside and TRIED to have a calm conversation about it, I'm sure we could have worked out whatever the misunderstanding was. But no, he had to be a COMPLETE fuckwad. I'm sure it all has to do with him being immature and probably insecure... whatever.
I am still tempted to find the manager and complain, but I figure I might just be blowing hot air into someone that doesn't care and won't believe my word against their employee's. I feel that the next time I want a fucking sandwich from there, I will go (despite his warnings for me not to come back) and I will order the same thing I always fucking do. If he or his brother is there, I'll try to keep it calm and drop a "sorry for any misunderstanding, please don't be a fuckwad again" apology in the most tactful way possible but also showing that I don't give a flying fuck what this guy thinks.
Anyway, I guess the point of this is that I'm just still really ticked off and I'm mostly just venting on a medium where I know cooler heads prevail (if I tell me friends, they would just get hot-headed knowing someone was so blatantly unprofessional and immature).
Anyway, if you read this far, please excuse my now incoherant ranting. MOTHER FUCKING GODDAMN SON OF A BITCH SANDWICH ARTIST FUCKING BLOWING UP AT ME FOR NO GODDAMN REASON WHY THE FUCK DO I EVEN TRY BEING NICE WHEN EVERYONE IS SO GODDAMN PARANOID AND BITCHY THAT THEY FEEL THEY CAN LFDSJF"AIEOPJF AE"POIEA G"AELHGEA.
