I used to work on the hot food counter of a large supermarket chain
A gentlemen once asked for some roast potatoes. I started to get him the potatoes, as requested, and he started to rush me.

"Come on, come on, my wife's waiting outside"

I asked him to calm down, as I was getting his potatoes as fast as I could.

"I could have cooked my own potatoes by now blah blah blah.."

To which I replied if that was the case why didn't he.

"I don't like your attitude," he said, as I handed him his potatoes, "I'm going to go and complain."

"I thought you were in a rush," I replied, "Are you sure you have the time to put in a complaint?"

With that, he flung the potatoes I had just served him across the counter at me and walked out in a huff.

I guess he must have cooked his own potatoes that night.
