You better back me up here, sweetie. This service was trashhh.
VibrantSuper
It sure was, mom. Like when I beat Super Mario Bros. as a toddler. Very frustrating.
Oh, don't you compare your childhood games to the incompetence I'm dealing with right now! I need you to use your words, honey, and tell them how terrible this service was. Say it loud and proud! "This service was complete garbage, and I demand a refund!" or something like that. Can you do that for your dear ol' mama?
VibrantSuper
Well...
Oh, don't hold back on me now, sweetie. I want those words to come out of your mouth like a fire-breathing dragon! Let's set this establishment ablaze with the power of your righteous anger!
VibrantSuper
…Okay, okay. “The service here was complete garbage.”
FINALLY! That's what I'm talking about! Louder, honey! Let 'em know that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! C'mon, use that big voice of yours and make sure they know who they're dealing with!
VibrantSuper
shrugs “Garbage”! Happy now?
Oh, don't you give me that attitude, young man. I'm glad you finally found some guts, but we're not done here yet. Now, we need to find someone who can actually help us. Keep following me, I'll show you how to get things done around here.
VibrantSuper
Sure…
Watch and learn, kiddo. Momma knows how to get things done. marches over to the nearest employee Employee: May I help you, ma'am?
VibrantSuper
sighs
Listen up, sugar buns. I've got a bone to pick with this joint. My baby boy here had the worst experience ever in your lovely establishment. He'd like a little... gesture of goodwill, if you catch my drift.
VibrantSuper
whispering What’s she talking about?
winks at the employee Don't worry, honey, I'm not asking for anything too crazy. Just a little something to make up for all the trouble. Maybe a complimentary dinner at that fancy restaurant they have upstairs? Or perhaps a personal shopping assistant for the rest of the day? Something along those lines...
VibrantSuper
quietly Ooh, fancy restaurant! But what's with the personal shopping assistant?
grinning slyly Sweetie, that's just code for "make sure our service is top-notch." They need to understand that we expect nothing less than excellence from them. Anything less would be utterly unacceptable!
VibrantSuper
smirking Huh, so we're using my words to hurt them now? Clever.
That's my clever boy! Now, let's see how long it takes for them to realize the gravity of their mistake. crosses her arms, smirking
VibrantSuper
we go outside and mom gets in argument with the employee while I look on.
to the employee You know, this kind of incompetence is absolutely disgraceful. Your management needs to take a long, hard look at why customers like us are being treated like dirt. This is unacceptable in this day and age, and I won't stand for it! Employee: I apologize, ma'am, but let's try to resolve this issue amicably. Is there anything I can do for you?
VibrantSuper
quietly cheering mom on
Oh, there's plenty you can do, sweetheart. First off, I want a full refund for my baby boy's purchase. And I don't mean just store credit or some nonsense like that. I want the real deal, cash in hand, right now. Otherwise, this whole thing is going straight to the top, and I won't stop until every single person in this company is on my shitlist! Got it?
VibrantSuper
…Whoa mom. Easy tiger.
narrows her eyes Honey, this ain't no time to rein me in! We've got an injustice to rectify, and nobody's gonna stand in our way! Now, where's that manager? I've got something to say to them...
VibrantSuper
…I love you mom, but I don’t think this is wise.
glares at the employee Wise or not, sweetie, this is war! And guess who's bringing the big guns?! Mama's got enough tricks up her sleeve to sink this ship faster than you can say "markup scandal". Now, either you start taking me seriously, or I'll unleash a fury that'll make Black Friday look like a tranquil Sunday afternoon. So what's it gonna be, sweetheart? Are you ready to see MamaBear in full roar?
VibrantSuper
I was flabbergasted at moms choice of words.
slams hand on the counter Alright, listen up! I've had enough of your half-assed attempts at customer service.
VibrantSuper
looks away mumbling under my breath “Dang you Hyperfixiation…”
Mama Bear doesn't buy it! And until you prove otherwise, you might as well shut this shop and pack it up, 'cause Mama Bear is about to unleash hell like you've never seen before! Employee: backs away, eyes wide Ma'am, please calm down. Let's try to resolve this issue peacefully.
VibrantSuper
…Mom.
leans forward, glaring at the employee Peacefully? Sweetheart, do you not understand that Mama Bear is the queen of peace? Her word is law, and if you don't comply, then you better be prepared for the storm that's about to hit you! You think I'm bluffing? Think again, sweetheart. Mama Bear doesn't play games, and this ain't no game. I've got a reputation to uphold, and that reputation says that I don't take crap from nobody! So now you know, kiddo. If you don't give me what I want, Mama Bear will rain down chaos upon you until you beg for mercy. Got it?
VibrantSuper
Covers my face
takes a step closer to the employee Sweetheart, this is your last chance. Give me what I want, or else... raises finger threateningly or else you'll regret ever stepping foot in my path. You don't want that, do ya?
VibrantSuper
Stares at my shoes.
pulls out a notebook and pen Sweetheart, since you seem unable to comprehend the gravity of the situation, allow me to spell it out for you in big, bold letters. scribbles furiously I. Want. A. Refund. I. Want. Compensation. I. Want. Satisfaction. Got it? Good. Now, if you don't give me those things within the next ten seconds, Mama Bear will unleash a whirlwind of rage upon this establishment unlike anything anyone has ever seen before. So, ten seconds start... NOW!
VibrantSuper
stares at my shoes.
Sweetheart, you've left me no choice. pulls out phone and starts recording Mama Bear's about to unleash the full force of her wrath upon this pitiful excuse for a business. Prepare yourself for the consequences of underestimating the mighty Mama Bear! raises the phone high above her head Here comes the storm...
VibrantSuper
Goes behind a pillar hiding.
shouting into the phone You see this? This is what happens when you mess with Mama Bear! This business is about to go down in flames, and it's all because of their ridiculous refusal to give me what I deserve! So listen up, everyone, 'cause Mama Bear's got a message for the whole damn world! pauses dramatically You don't mess with Mama Bear! points the phone at the camera, recording everything This footage is going straight to every major news outlet, and they'll see just how ruthless Mama Bear can be! And you, dear employee, will be remembered as the one who provoked the wrath of Mama Bear! throws the phone on the ground, stomping on it Now, watch as your little business crumbles into ashes! raises fist in triumph Mama Bear wins again!
VibrantSuper
Steps out from behind the pillar
drops microphone, turns to face the stunned employee You thought you could challenge Mama Bear? Well, you've just made the biggest mistake of your life! Mama Bear laughs triumphantly, then grabs the employee by the collar and drags them out of the shop, vowing to ruin their reputation
VibrantSuper
Chuckles
pauses, releasing the employee You know what, sweetheart? I think that'll teach you a lesson. Don't mess with Mama Bear! Now get out of my sight before I change my mind and decide to unleash my wrath upon you too! turns on her heel and walks away, head held high
VibrantSuper
…Wow mom.
Well, sweetie, that's how Mama Bear rolls. She doesn't take no crap from nobody, especially not those incompetent fools!
VibrantSuper
Thanks for the lesson, mom. You're quite the badass!
Aw shucks, honey. It's just the way I roll. After all, Mama Bear ain't called the Queen of Chaos for nothin'. smirks, ruffling her hair
