Is this sucky or funny?

[Peppergirl]

D: Drive Through Guy
C: Customer

D: Thank you for choosing Popeye's Chicken, how can I help you tonight?
C: I have a coupon.
D: Ooooh, I don't, can I have yours?

She complained to the manager and he got a stern talking to.

Now see, maybe I'm a total dork..well I KNOW I am, but I think that's kinda funny. I'd laugh, but we all know SC's are humorless.

The guy in the original story, that would piss me off after the first time. I'd quit going there or say something to the manager.

[tropicsgoddess]

Not funny...at all.

Ok it seems like you think it is annoying like I do. I did not find it funny the first time he did it and I thought maybe he was just feeling goofy that day. But everytime I go there he does it. Like I said in my post I now avoid that place when I am not in the mood to deal with it. I think I will call and talk with the manager about it. If I avoid that place because of him I am sure others do as well.

If you guys were friends and you knew he was working and he was expecting you, then it'd be funny the first....100 times. After that, I'd probably want to twist his balls into a sticky cinnamon bun shape and watch him skree.

Theres a employee at taco bell that does transformer voices.Oh god how my hubby plays along.My hubby does the order in a TF voice and then the employee responds in a TF voice.UGHHHH NERDS(in The Ogre's voice...revenge of the nerds)

Once could be funny.

Every time with every customer is sucky.

Maybe this guy needs to meet the "It doesn't scan? It must be free!" crowd.

I'm evil, I'm twisted, I love a good funny crack. I don't find this funny. I actually would be tempted to ask the guy "Why the fuck not" when he says no, or tell him "just get me my fucking food allready".

Yeah its not nice, its not polite. But there comes a time in life when you can't pussy foot around shit either. If you put up with the dumb shits of the world enough then they will own it. I'm sure I'll get some people annoyed with me for wanting to be so harsh about this, but honestly if you just allow it to happen then the next time you have to deal with some fuckstick pulling the "it must be free" line, just imagine where he works!!!

[draftermatt]

You know, I don't find it funny but at the same time it sounds like the guy enjoys his job (or he doesn't and is trying to get fired).

Honestly I don't know what I would do because I figure life's too short to worry about piddly crap like that. I'd just ignore it, give my order and go on with life, not stare at him like a monkey doing a math problem till he gets uncomfortable, complain, or say something snarky/assholish in return.

Hey, I'm not annoyed with you. On some level, I agree with you. However, keep in mind that this particular fuckstick will be alone with your food at some point.

For me, funny was the pilot on a small plane I was on once. He told the safety spiel in a fun way while getting every point across.

Like for seatbelts, he said something about how "you've known how to put a seatbelt on since you were five, but in case there's someone who doesn't....."

Or "the seat cushion doubles as a floatation device. Of course, we won't be over water unless I get really lost, so you probably don't need to know that..."


He had plenty of time to kill waiting for the taxi-way to clear, so it's not like he was wasting our time or anything. And just about everyone was actually LISTENING to the safety lecture.

Did his job, didn't waste anyone's time, amused most of his customers. Funny.

The drive-through clerk in the OP? Wasting people's time, not amusing most of his customers, possibly not accomplishing his job. Not funny.

[protege]

At this point I would be going inside to talk to the guy's manager.

You and me too. There's a time and a place for that...and the drive-thru is not it. Sorry, but I have better things to do than listen to some twit and his "attempt" at humor. I can understand enjoying one's job, but you simply don't act like that at work. Not everyone appreciates having their time wasted, especially if one is on their lunch hour. I know if someone did that to me, I'd be a bit pissed...and would probably *not* go back there. I simply don't tolerate having my time wasted!

[Becks]

Seshat, that pilot sounds snazzy.
