Tonight while waiting to order at the local Hungry Jack's (Australian for Booger Fling), I witnessed a Sucky McSuckbat.
CSR: Can I take your order sir?
SC: Speak up, you're mumbling! (funny I can hear him, maybe you need to turn off your mp3 player for 30 seconds)
CSR: (slightly louder) Can I take your order?
SC: No need to shout! Give me a mumblemumblemumble and a mumblegruntday.
CSR: So that's a whopper meal and a chocolate sunday?
SC: That's what I said, boy, weren't you listening? What planet are you on? (pays in 20 cent coins)
Then when the food arrived in a take-away bag, he said "Can I have a bag for that?" I felt like yanking those headphones off him and saying "No doofus, it's already in one!" Instead I stood there while he got an extra bag for some strange reason.
This guy's whole attitude, and the way he called the CSR "boy" (even though he was no older than 15) really pissed me off. Calling him "boy" wasn't a racial thing since they were both caucasian, but was just a way for the SC to treat the CSR like a slave.
I was served by the same guy, he repeated my order too (to make sure it was correct, actually the one time they didn't do that was the time they screwed it up). It took time for the food to arrive but no longer than usual for Friday night dinner time. We got exactly what we ordered and the place was clean and tidy. All in all it was as good an experience as you can have at a fast food joint, ruined only by one SC.
So as we were leaving I wrote this site's URL on a napkin and left it on the counter. If you found it,
