But i was here just last week!

[Slow-Jo]

at KFC we they had a thing called Toonie Tuesday. some sicko decided that it would be a great idea to have a 2 piece meal containing 2 pieces of dark chicken and fries for $2. great deal! pain in the a$$!!
we used to get people that would whine about anything possible, from it costing too much (reg. $7 something) too it not having white meat.

our store, thank god, no longer has it but the city stores still run it. we are allowed to not run it due to the fact that we are a franchises. we haven't had that stupid thing for 2 years now, yet it still haunts us every Tuesday. usually they just get bitchy and order something else or drive off. but not this special little guy.

me- well, me
SC- dumbass
our store is stony and we have a sister one in spruce about 15-20 min away.

me-welcome to KFC my name is Slow-Jo what can i get for you today
SC-I want 10 toonie Tuesdays (not unusual)
me-im sorry but we don't have toonie Tuesday anymore.
SC- what?! since when?! i was here last week and got it!
*hmmm, i pretty much work almost every day of the week, and have been here for 3 years. yet i don't remember giving anyone one yet *
me-im sorry sir, but we haven't had toonie Tuesday for 2 years now.
SC-thats bull! im gonna speak to your supervisor!
*i go great him at the window, cuz i am the supervisor*
SC- some little shit said you guys don't have toonie Tuesday anymore!
*must smile *
me-well like I SAID sir we don't have toonie Tuesday anymore and haven't for 2 years.
SC- well im going to spruce your competitor then! they have toonie tuesday!
me-if that is what you wish sir, but spruce is actually our sister store, and i can guarantee you they don't have it either.
SC-well fine! ill have a regular 2 peice.
me-that will be blah blah.
SC-WHAT?! F!@#$ that!

and sped off into the night. you bitched about it when it was here and you bitch about it when its gone. *sigh*

Look at it this way. With all that colesterol building up in her arteries, she's bound to croak eventually.

Back when I thought eating at KFC was a good thing I used to love toonie Tuesdays, and the KFC nearest my house would offer one piece of white meat and one piece of dark meat.
I also knew someone who worked there so for $2+tax I was getting way more food than I ever should have been. :P

However now I can't even look at a KFC without feeling sick. But fyi, dipping the fries in some gravy then into the potato salad may SOUND gross, but it's pretty much the best thing ever.
Much like McDonald's fries dipped in their milkshakes.


I'm not crazy...

OMG! Someone else who thinks that is the best thing ever! My wife thinks I am bugnuts when I do that.

[Slow-Jo]

i know tons of people that love dipping fries in milkshakes. i swear one of my coworkers would eat us out of house and home if we ever brought in a milkshake machine.

[Canarr]

What flavor milkshake?

[Slow-Jo]

What flavor milkshake?

most people i know like to dip fries in the chocolate milkshakes.

Early on in my career at The Bar, a woman came in to order a to go order. As part of her order she asked for a side of "peas and rice." I may have been new, but I knew enough about our menu to know we did not have any such side. We have RICE, but no side of "peas and rice" as such. Which is precisely what I told her.

Did she believe me, the guy who works there? NOOOOoooo..... She swore up and down she had gotten it there before.

Now let's pause for just a moment here. Let's say for the sake of argument that she had, in fact, gotten her precious peas and rice at The Bar before. Fine. But lady? I'd like to point something out to here. YOU CAN'T FUCKING GET IT HERE NOW! Okay, now...back to the real-time action.

The woman insisted that I go ask someone who knew what they were talking about. I did. My head freakin' chef told me, in no uncertain terms, that we had never had "peas and rice" as a side dish since The Bar opened. Period, end of story.

I told the woman this. Naturally, she didn't believe me, and insisted she had gotten it here before. Um, no. You didn't. You didn't get it here. You may have gotten it somewhere else, you may have thought that that someplace else was here, or you may have gotten food here before and thought part of that order was peas and rice. Whatever it is you thought, you are wrong. You fail. You suck. And you are mental. And more to the point, not only are you wrong, but you aren't getting any peas and rice here today, period. Because we don't fucking have any, you blithering idiot.

Now get your damn condescending mistaken ass out of my bar, and STAY OUT!

Peas and rice, what is WRONG with these people?

I once freaked my daughters out because The Happy Chef waitress served my breakfast flapjacks with maple syrup at the same time as my sausage and hash brown fried breakfast. So I sliced my sausage and dipped it into the maple syrup and ate it, bit by bit. Not bad, not bad at all.

Wendy's Fries and Frosty . . . and what is up with changing the frosty - it used to be only one flavor . . .now you can get vanilla or have candy mixed in . . .they are messing with a classic.

[CaroPhoenix]

I just made a turkey breast, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce but now I have a craving for french fries and a chocolate frosty! GAH!!! I gotta stop reading posts concerning food right before dinner.

I had a chick do the same thing with me but it was popcorn shrimp. KFC has popcorn chicken, DQ has the popcorn shrimp.

again, like ur lady, she swore up and down she got popcorn shrimp here. after the 5th time repeating that we have popcorn chicken and DQ has shrimp she finally got it through her thick skull. (i figured i was going to have to drill a hole and insert a pipe) and drove off to her beloved, deep fried shrimp. thank god

ok, you people talking about fries and milkshakes are settling for substandard... you have not lived until you try Astro Burgers fry sauce.
Back on topic, when I worked at Carl's Jr. I hated the people who would come in and order whoppers or big macs. My favorite though was what my manager did (she was so cool)
m- manager
bkf- burger king fan

bkf- yes, i'd like to order a whopper
m- great, then you'd like to go next door to burger king
bkf- excuse me
m- this is carls jr. if you want a whopper there is nothing I can do for you, if you'd like though we can make you a famous star.
bfk turns around and walks out the door, M and I laugh our asses off.

Lol, I can submit a story from the other side. I went to Denny's last night and the waitress swore up and down that they didn't have seltzer water. Of all things. Considering that my BF and I go there once a week or more, and he always gets club soda with a lemon, I think we know they have it.

Of course she comes over later embarassed with a glass of it -lol-

Close to 30 years ago, I worked at a Schlotzsky's knock-off sandwich shop. People would come in all the time asking for a Schlotzsky's, and we would try to convince them that we had only Zinsky's. Sometimes we were successful, sometimes not. Only once did anyone bring the sandwich back and complain. I finally did succeed in convincing him that he was not where he thought he was. And no, he did not get a refund. (actually, he didn't even ask for one...this WAS 30 years ago!)
