  • A Plea to drive thru customers

    Please, please have your wallet at least near you when you get to the window. Enter the correct pin on the correct account and don’t argue over who’s paying. Also order everything at the box.
    It is below 0 degrees, the drive thru jacket doesn’t zip up and I really don’t want to have this window open any longer than I have to.

    It's always the people who are unprepared that are in the biggest rush too.

    I had a lady cut everyone who was waiting at the registers to check out and came to me at the service desk so she "wouldn't have to wait". And since we're not allowed to send the custstomer away I had to take her.

    After complaining that the lines were so long and she was in SUCH a hurry (bitch, moan) she spent 5 minues digging through her purse for a gift card with $5 on it.

    She hadn't a moment to spare and then suddenly she had all the time in the world.

      Or people who write checks (that require me writing down their license number, running the amount, and typing in the DL number) who stand there, tapping their foot impatiently.

      Hey, jerk, YOU wrote the check!!

      In a hurry, USE DEBIT!

        Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.

          There's a reason for that. A lot of people like that usually disorganized and tend to have trouble keeping to a schedule, making them perpetually behind in everything.

          And generally, if you're busy thinking that in your head, it helps to cut down on the urge to lean out of the window to throttle the person in the car.

            Normally I just have Tim McGraws "do you want fries with that" going through my head and trying not to say it out loud.

            But now I have new ideas to destract my mind.

              Try being a pizza delivery person. the customer has had AT LEAST 10 - 15 minutes to get their money together before the order arrives. but no they have to wait UNTIL I am knocking on the door to even THINK about getting their bag full of coins together and counting it out to the past penny.. at lesast try and get your wallet or purse out of the FRACKIN truck in the driveway BEFORE I GET THERE.

              Also DO NOT let your small childern be in charge of the money. they tend to LOOSE it somewhere in the house/chair/ bathroom/ heat register/fridge/toilet/etc.

              Oh yeah and please do not give me a wadded up ball of bills either. yes I will stand there and seperate it ALLLLLL out very slowly whilst still holding your cheezeeesy goodness in my arm. NO I AM NOT letting go of your order until I verify I was given at elast the correct amount.

              Bonus points if it is pouring raining or blizzard conditions out.

                The "best" ones are those in the line at the food counter in front of you. Spend the whole 5-10 minutes of wait time bitching how it's taking so long, this is ridiculous, etc. - and when it's finally their turn, I can guarantee you that they have no idea what they want to order!

                Drives me nuts every time. Don't know how many times I've told people like that how it wouldn't take so long if people used the wait time to get their order together. Cue deer-in-headlights-look.
                You gotta polish a memory like a stone. Chip off the parts that remind you it was just a game. Work it until it's indistinguishable from any other memory.

                  The ones that piss me off are the bus riders who will wait at the stop for 20+ minutes and wait until they get ON the bus to suddenly remember they need to pay. And since the driver has to wait for them to pay before he/she can drive on, we ALL have to wait while they first check every pocket they have 3 times, then every section of their backpack or purse then back to the pockets.
                  And when they finally DO find SOME of their money, the bills are all wadded up and they try to shove it into the fare box, thus jamming it and wasting more of everyones' time.

                        Allow me to add my pet peeve: Customers who finally make up their mind what clothing they want to buy, and then TELL us they are in a hurry. Ok, if you do I will make some effort and not chit chat. But you lose major points when you tell me you are in SUCH a hurry, then wander off to look at MORE merchandise as I'm ringing you up. Clearly you aren't in that big of a rush.

                          This. I couldn't tell you how many times I've had a car full of people who proceed to take their sweet time to order, and when they finally do, its one of those huge fifty dollar orders. Bonus suck points if they're arguing about who's going to pay, meanwhile I have a line that wraps around the building and leads to the road. *shakes head*

                              My big pet peeve when working drive-thru was people who wouldn't enunciate and thus made telling the difference between "Sprite" and "Fry" non-existent.

                              Customer: and a small "rye" (seriously, that's how it would come out).
                              Me: is that a small SpriTe to DRINK or a small FRENCH FRY? (making sure to emphasize the "t" in sprite)
                              Customer: a small "rye"
                              Me: /headdesk

                              I'd have to guess and of course I'd guess wrong and have to get it switched out.
                              Don't wanna; not gonna.
