Ever been to a fast food place and they got your order wrong? It happens, and usually when its brought up they are apologetic and quick to correct their mistake. My issue is not with the people behind the counter but narrow sighted jerks in front of it. Specifically the people who take on the mindset "My order is SO simple. Either they are Stupid or out to get me." Wake up. Yes, your order is simple and so are the other 500 that are expected before and after it in the next 10 minutes. As for being out to get you... you are a number. I have nothing against the numbers 1-100 though some are a little leary of 13. Im sure some reading this are recounting a time that the place was dead and half your meal was missed or they always forget the extra sauce or something obscure like that... If you've never bungled something up because you were suddenly jarred out of what you were doing then im happy for you but mistakes because of that are easy. Often times extra sauce and whatnot are in the register with a price tag attached and the person taking your order is trying to not charge you an extra dollar for the 5 extra sauces you want. Those behind the counter are people too and yelling at them because napkins were missed or the prices went up will do you no good. As a consumer, it is your responsibility to check what you purchased prior to driving twenty miles away. Also, it is absolutely disgusting and disgraceful to see how many people expect and beg for free food because of a mistake that is usually rectified by replacement of the offending/missing item. Go into Sears returning the washing machine you purchased and demand a washer and a dryer for your "time and energy." Demand extra deductions on your taxes because of your wasted "time and energy." Again, personal responsibility.

Shoot me if I ever have to work somewhere like that again. My stint at McDonald's made me want to jump off a cliff. 2. puny yeah the whole "I deserve a free hamburger because you forgot to give me a napkin" attitude really bothers me. It's the "me" generation. Everyone is special. 3. Guest User I work in a cafe behind the counter. Most customers are polite, reasonable, and fair. There are always going to be the real assholes once in a while, and you learn to just let it go. It's not worth getting worked up about. |
