Burger King Worker Attacks Customers

You know when service is getting bad when fast food workers start to attack customers.  A Burger King drive-thru worker, Michael Perez, allegedly burst into a rage and attacked two customers in their car.  The camera surveillance caught him climbing through the window to get to the customers.  According to Perez, one of the customers was making racial comments, which the customer denies. 

This is why I think any person that applies for a customer service job should undergo personality tests.  I don't care if you're hiring a fast food service worker or a cashier at the gas station - you really need to be careful who you're hiring.  Of course, these types of tests cost money, so most companies don't want to spend the money. And so, customer service will continue to decline....*sigh*

Give me a break, do you really think the customer service person jumped through the window without provocation? Of course the customer is going to deny using racial slurs, who would confess to that? Besides, how can they sue Burger King if they admit guilt? Being in customer service myself, I see it's not uncommon for the customer to lie, it happens more often then not. The CUSTOMER IS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT, IN FACT, THEY'RE QUITE OFTEN RUDE AND CONDASCENDING!

Yes, some customers do lie, I'm not going to deny that. But I wouldn't say that they're OFTEN rude and condescending - perhaps the environment in which you work provokes this type of attitude....

I actually had a Burger King manager (female) tell me to "f*&% off" this morning because I had neglected to tell her a had a coupon while ordering from the drive-thru. When I got to the window to pay and pick up my order, she went on a tirade. Upon parking the car and going inside to speak with the manager, I was informed she WAS the manager. I am now attempting to talk to head office but their website isn't even working this morning. I have already sold all BKC stock and will continue to try to reach head office to relate my story to management. If this is how this company is run, I don't want stock in it and I certainly won't ever enter one ever again.
