A conversation I've just heard in Greggs.

"I'd like a bacon sandwich and a black coffee, please"

"Would you like sauce on it?"

"No, thanks"

"That's because you're saucy enough"

"Sorry, what else did you want?"

"A black coffee please"

You might be able to guess what was said next.

"Once you've tried black you never go back"

The customer smiled politely and replied "You should be on stage"

Is it just me, or was that a bit too much?

It would depend on how it was said. I'm not easily offended and can take joking comments with a pinch of salt and laugh.

Was if the staff member saying saucy enough? If so they need some training.

If it was the customer it was out of order, the staff are there to do a job not take abuse.

Perhaps not to you, it wouldn’t offend me either to be fair. Putting on my work head though it could very well be classed as abuse. However please be aware I’m not having a go at any body.

I wouldn't call that abuse.

Things like this all depend on the moment, the conversation, who said what to who etc.all factors will depict whether it comes across as flirty banter, slightly uncomfortable or offensive.

Now if that was me I'd take it with a pinch of salt and appreciate they had a sense of humour and wouldn't be offended but I would also give back as good as they gave,I'd probably end up embarrassing them as I have a wicked send of humour

The saucy comment is just a traditional British 'carry on' situation, I've heard it numerous times in cafes - given both ways (oo-er missus) - and long may that tradition continue.

Wouldn't expect it in a silver service resturant though.

The "once you've tried black" comment I personally wouldn't say to a complete stranger in a working environment.

Sorry. It looks as if I'm the odd one out. I have no doubt that some would be offended to be spoken to like that. Whilst others might find it amusing. The fact that some would be offended makes it in my opinion inappropriate. Had the customer complained I'm sure the guys employers would have taken a dim view of his comments

It's a toughie. Some fuckers complain just for a freebie, so even if the customers it was said to thought it was funny, there's always an arsehole that, even though they may find it funny, think to themselves eh up, I reckon we can get some goodies if we say we were offended.

It's not just you O.P.

If the two knew each other and were just ribbing each other then fine. HOWEVER there are other people who can hear and they count too.

Take no notice of those who tell you to get a sense of humour. It's their way of trying to beat you down for not wanting this kind of banter.

The level of sexism, racism and sarcasm that takes place between me and mine in a social session is one thing...... taking it into a public arena where it could be taken the wrong way ? No.

If we want fucking comedians serving us in Greggs, I'll phone Kevin Bridges.

I think it's probably good natured, friendly small talk between them. Staff are not automated machines that should have every last bit of their energy controlled such that their personality is suppressed. They have been employed as valuable people, their personality being a major asset.

I use real staff checkouts in stores because I appreciate what real people add to awful shopping environments.

But do you make those sort of comments in a public bar when you are in your "social session"? If so do you consider the people around you?

If it's behind closed doors are you not just a group of closet sexists and racists? I think that's worse.

1. I said we'd never make those comments in a social arena.

2. No it doesn't make us closet racists or sexists but I took the risk of someone wanting to point the finger without facts or contexts doing so.

There is your answer then, if it cheered up a few people, got the shop worker through another few moments of humanity rather than serving machine. It's a win win situation. Give that man a tip, he done some good.

Anyone who thinks he needs retraining to remove any humour and not put smiles on faces should only be allowed to shop at vending machines.

The original poster clearly made this up. No one working for a national chain would say things like that. They go on training courses. Comments like that cost businesses directly in compensation, prosecutions, and indirectly in loss of business.

The employee would have been reported and sacked long ago, and it would have made the press.

Ah. You see, you're missing out something called 'context.

Sexual innuendo has context. And the context is that women are supposed to enjoy it and put up with it whenever a man wants to do it...

"But it was so lame. 1970s inspired shit humour.

Some the era of Page 3, drink driving, and no celebs hiding bad behaviour!

Age is irrelevant, "what's brown and sticky" ... "a stick" is 1720's humour, but still funny when delivered to the right audience.

I don't get it.

really ......lol

Ah. You see, you're missing out something called 'context.

Sexual innuendo has context. And the context is that women are supposed to enjoy it and put up with it whenever a man wants to do it..."

Do you ever talk sexually with your partners? Any sexual innuendo with them or are you a serious kind of person?

I think context is always important. I know who of my friends are ok with innuendo. Anyone else I wouldn't do it as I'd find it offensive.

Yes. That too.

I suppose that's one reason I don't shop in those places and I'm sure they're as grateful as I am.

"OP would you find the same comments inappropriate in an independent greasy spoon cafe?

You know what I think I probably would.

I'm not a prude by a long way,and it did make me smile, but what I'm getting at is it's not something I would expect to hear when ordering food or being served in any type of shop/cafe etc.

I got what you meant and don't think you have had a SOH bypass. As you say , it made you smile, I would have smiled too, but it still doesn't make it appropriate to say to customers buying their bacon butty.

What I wanna know is, did he have sauce and was it red or brown

No he didn't, hence the reply from the server "You're saucy enough"

"A conversation I've just heard in Greggs.

"I'd like a bacon sandwich and a black coffee, please"

"Would you like sauce on it?"

"No, thanks"

"That's because you're saucy enough"

"Sorry, what else did you want?"

"A black coffee please"

You might be able to guess what was said next.

"Once you've tried black you never go back"

The customer smiled politely and replied "You should be on stage"

Is it just me, or was that a bit too much?"

I think it's a very very sad inditement on modern Britain that this practice still takes place in 2017 !!

.. I mean what the hell was he doing eating in Gregg's

Thats just not right, a bacon butty is not good unless it has brown sauce

Only problem there is, in this case, the staff member and customer were both male.

Pretty sure that he original post didn't have anything about brown and sticky stick jokes either, which was the point I was replying to.

I don't really see what you're asking.

Of course I talk sexually with my partners. My partners, however, don't tend to be serving me behind a shop counter or in any other professional environment.

Sorry I wasn't been sarcastic or anything. I thought you made it sound like men always use sexual innuendo 'against' women and women have to put up with it but they never like it.

I was trying to ask if you ever use sexual innuendo with partners, because I find that between partners it can be fun. I didn't mean in public or shops.

So it's not always a bad thing- I think it depends on the 2 people. Context/ consent is everything.
