  • For the love of all that is holy, make up your mind!

    Ok, so this is a little delayed, but i feel like sharing it now. For about a month, not that long ago, i worked at the fast food place represented by the cute little redheaded girl. IN that short time, i picked up these 2 tales of suck. They're relatively mild, but they were more sucky at the time. Anywho.


    #1 Change your fry size again, and you get a complimentary dip in the fryers!

    Ok, so i was working fries one day, and it was the middle of lunch rush. We had a lady at the counter line come up and order, no fuss there. I believe she ordered a medium fry with her meal. So, i make the fries, and i place them in the bag and turn back to finish staging more fries for the drive thru. No sooner do i begin filling another fry carton, when i hear " Actually, i want a large fry instead of a medium." If i was an anime character, i wouldve had the little x-shaped forehead vein. I turn around to take the fries back out of the bag, and the friggin bitch gives me this cutesy little smile like it was supposed to be a funny thing. I wanted to slap her with a wet rubber glove. I changed her fries and went back to my mindless droning/fry prepping. Kinda messed up my flow for the rest of my shift.



    #2 I made a mess, now clean it up. I'm leaving.

    Ok, so this one was confusing and a bit sucky. had us all scratchin our heads for a bit. Guy comes in, orders a double baconator combo(i remember that because they're delicious ). He walks to sit down, and a few minutes later he's back at the counter. He says to the cashier "There's a spill over there." And then he half-angry half-embarassedly walks out the door and leaves, ignoring the cashier's request for him to come back (they were going to make him another sandwhich and get him more fries, at no charge). I am sent to retrieve the mop and bucket and go clean the mess. Apparently, he had spilled the entirety of his tray on the floor around his table. However i should mention that the sandwhich was still fully wrapped. He could've still eaten it. I would've. Anyway, everything was on the ground, except for his drink cup. There was ice and liquid everywhere, and the lid to the cup was nearby, but no drink cup. I suppose he threw that away himself. Anyway, i swept everything up, said a silent prayer for the wasted double baconator, and put out a wet floor sign. Now, had it been one of you in that situation, would you have reacted similarly, or would you have stuck around and gotten another meal for free like we were going to give him?

    Me, i would have offered to help clean and apologised about the mess i just made but i wouldent expect another for free because it would have been my fault it got like that in the first place.

      Since I spilled it, I'd clean it up (maybe I'd ask for a little help depending on how extensive it was). If you offered the replacement? I'd take it. However, I wouldn't expect it. Unless, of course, the mess was caused due to something on the end of the store like wobbly tables or something.

        Did the first lady just get upsized for free?

        And the second guy - what was his problem? Accidents happen, it's not anyone's fault. No need to act like that.

          Embarrassment. I can totally understand being freaked out by having made a mistake, and wanting nothing so much as to leave. He at least didn't leave the mess as a surprise.

            Is it possible he was just terribly embarrased over making the mess, and wanted a quick exit? I've known people are so self-conscious they'd almost die on the spot if they spilled something in public.

            I recall being rather embarressed myself at around age 19, out to eat with my sis, BIL and 2 year old nephew, and I spilled an entire milkshake all over the table and floor - embarrassed to the point of not correcting the poor guy who came out with the mop when he made a comment about the "little one" having an accident (though of course, my Sis and BIL had to both point to me and say, "no the big one did"

            Madness takes it's toll....
            Please have exact change ready.

                    From the way the guy was acting when he came in, i'd say he hadnt had suck a good morning. It was maybe 1pm or so when he came in. He wasn't a happy camper when he got there. As for the lady, no, she didnt get upsized for free, but it still kinda pissed me off that she changed her mind that late in the order during lunch rush. I know, it happens, but the customers need to be a little more considerate about things like that. If you order a large, and decide you'd rather have a medium after its already been made and bagged, then stop and think "Hmm, this place is uber busy right now and a few extra fries wont kill me, and the extra money isnt gonna break the bank (fry sizes dont contribute a WHOLE lot to the cost of a meal) just let it go. If it isnt too busy, then ask for a different size, and they will be happy to swap it out for you. If you are in situation A and you decided to be a douche and ask for a different size, fine. But don't give me a cutesy little smile or say something funny when i clearly have a scowl on my face from the day's progression already, or you will become the world's first deep-fried asshole.

                        I wouldn't try and clean it up. It's faster for employees to do it( and they have other stuff to get to), and they'll just have to go over my halfass napkins swipes anyway with proper equipment.

                        I would apologize for being a dumbass, though.

                              I clean up after myself. But then again, I also wipe the table down and stack the plates, cups and silverware after I dine somewhere, too.
