    I went out to dinner with some friends I'd picked up for Rocky Horror, to a Mexican restaurant, and one of the girls I drove ordered the Quesadilla, pronounced just like that, and I, from the far end of the table, was the only one who recognized what she'd done, and gave her death glares the rest of the night.

      I only slaughter the Names of businesses (on purpose of course )

      Taco Bell becomes Toxic Smell/ Toxic Hell
      Taco Time becomes Toxic Slime
      Pizza Hut becomes Pizza Slut (My co-irkers did not have the best morals but their friends that hung around pizza hut were downright reckless/dangerous in their sex lives)
      Little Ceasars = Little Sleazers
      Dominoes = domin-HOes
      HoHo gourmet (well... this one needed no alteration----My work is done)
      Artic Circle = 9th circle (of hell) (Hey what happened to the Antarctic Circle?!)
      Circuit City = Schmirkit Shitty
      R.C. Willey = R we Silly (furniture/home store that charges exorbitant prices and credit card interest)
      Sam's Club = Clam's sub
      Best Buy = worst buy
      Costco= Costly
      walmart = Wallyworld (from national lampoon)

      I have a bunch more but they don't really make sense or make fun of any names of stores and aren't really that amusing.
      You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take,and statistically speaking, 99% of the shots you do take.

        At my last job, a lovely young goth couple purchased a few items. Total: $6.66. Funny thing is, I had been at that job for over two years at that point, and never had anyone purchase items totalling $6.66 before.
        At the bookstore I used to work at, we sell textbooks for the Adult Ed classes. The majority of them are priced so that the change most commonly given is $6.66. Most customers ignore it or say something like "See, even the computer knows this class is going to be Hell" but I had a scant few customers who, upon seeing the change back, would then say "Can I give you an extra nickel so it doesn't say 666 on my receipt?" (not a huge deal as I could do the math in my head, but annoying...that's not going to change the receipt)

          My last day at Toxic Hell is tomorrow! HOORAY!!

          I think the mispronunciation that gets on my nerves the most is how folks around here say Quesadilla. (Kay-suh-dilla) The L's are silent, dildoes, and just because we live in Idaho does NOT mean Napoleon Dynamite was a good movie. Yes, they mispronounce it on purpose. Then giggle. /sigh

          Before my shift starts, if I am on the tills, I put a dime into my drawer out of my purse. The reason for this is two-fold. #1, I am lazy and hate counting 99 cents, and #2, if a total comes up $6.66 I can give them $x.35 back, effectively changing the number of the beast to 665.

          I am so glad to be leaving this job. After 4 years, I am done.
          CONGRATS on escaping!!! My last day at TB is a week from tomorrow! After 10 years "thinking outside the bun" all I wanna do is kick sc's in the bun.

          The funniest mispronunciation I had was when we had the Chipolte Grilled Stuffed Burrito. This guy in DT actually ordered a "Chipoloto Burrito". So for the next few months someone would holler out "Marco!" and the rest of us would answer..."Chipoloto"

          As for the $6.66 total. It cracks me up when I get it. I purposely read the total as "Your total is 6..6..6..first window please."

            Ha! Your total is 6...6...6! That is the best!

            One thing I won't miss is "Would you like your taco crunchy or soft?" "Yes."

            I learned the hard way not to ask "hard or soft", unless I wanted to hear "hu-hu, I like it hard, don't you?"

            I still channel Beavis and Butthead when someone orders Fire sauce, though. Some things will never change. "Fire, fire, cool, hu-hu-hu!"

                I read (or saw on TV) about the Taco Bell Sauce proposal.

                Apparently this guy and his girl liked to take a Fire sauce with them every time they left a Taco Bell. So he had a special one made up with the help of the corporate offices or something.

                But I can't find anything on Google about it
                Slightly off-topic but when they first came up with these packets, the ones with cute sayings on them, I got one "Hot" packet that simply said "Tails" in the white box.

                I kept it, and should still have it somewhere. Someone slipped that one through unnoticed. I've not seen another one, so I figured it was pulled quietly.

                Kudos for anyone who gets it, but if you don't, let me know and I'll see if I can find a link for you. It will not be workplace safe though.
