  • See? This is why I don't bother.

    You know, I'm pretty good at my job. If you're not an insufferable dickbag, neither am I. If your food is screwed up, I'll fix it. If you need something extra, I'll get it for you. I'm pretty good at sauce prediction. Know why? Because you all get the same thing. Why are you so angry at my sauce-ic powers?

    Me:
    C:

    Customer orders 2 tacos and a chicken sandwich... cue the lights..

    Me: Total is 2.16 please
    C: *hands money, remains silent*
    Me: Would you like any extra sauce?
    C: *looks at me, looks away*
    Me: *bags food, throws 2 ranch and a couple packets of taco sauce in there, hands food to customer* here you go.
    C: Can I get a ranch. (statement, not a question. I love those)
    Me: Theres two in the bag
    C: (in the snottiest tone) A RANNNNCHHH???????
    Me: *blink* Yes.
    C: *drives off*
    Me:

    You know how many boxes of ranch I go through in a night? Two. Three hundred packets of ranch in a night, at least. You are not special. Everyone wants ranch. The only surprising part is when they want less than 3. That happens like 3-4 times a night without fail. I don't understand why they're so angry that I've already got everything they want and its in their hand.



    edit: Theres always one that slips my mind.. Yestterday (and probably tonight too) we were out of a lot of stuff. Churros, cheese sticks, dr. pepper, and secret sauce, namely. Well this didnt sit right with one gentleman.

    Me: Hi, my name is Whiskey what can I get you?
    C: Can I get a cheeseburger with secret sauce?
    Me: Sorry hon, we're all out of secret sauce right now.
    C: ...what???
    Me: Sorry, we've been out since earlier today.
    C: *stunned silence* (you could feel it, i swear)
    Me: Can I get you anything else?
    C: You ruined my night!
    Me: Whoever does inventory ruined your night, sir.
    C: I'm going to a different Jack in the box!
    Me: Alright, Have a good night.

    My swing Team Lead busted up laughing. She said he was the first person this week who's night she got to ruin. She didn't but she took the credit. Also, the person who does inventory didn't bother to order OIL. You know, for the deep fryers? We only had 2 of 4 up last night. I was so glad it was desperately slow. I only did a 420$ drop. It would have been an absolute nightmare if we got hit with ANY kind of real rush.


    Feel good story of the day

    So guy orders some food. 2 burgers and 2 small sodas or something. They pull to the window...

    Me: 13.27 please
    C: *counting*
    Me: *ah god damn it..*
    C: Um, how much would it be without one of the sodas?
    Me: *Deletes* 11.34
    C: Oh okay, just leave that one off then.

    Now heres the thing. I'm jaded as hell. This caught me by surprise. Usually they ask for the drink for free, ask me to SHORT MY DRAWER, and other ridiculous shit. He just asked me to take it off cause he didn't have enough. No muss, no fuss. Huh. So I gave him both sodas, they were already made anyways. Usually they'd just go in the trash, but he was nice so whatever. I can basically do what I want at that window.

                  See customers, this is how you get what you want! If you're nice to us, use manners, accept responsibility for being short on cash or other things that are your fault, and basically behave like a decent human being, we'll go out of our way for you. If you treat us like scum on your shoes, you get the bare minimum and nothing more, if you're lucky!

                    Yeah seriously, I just wanted to point out as well, that you are completely awesome for this. I cannot even pour as much respect from a jar of respect into this post as I need to to thank you enough for this. It may seem like a little thing but this can really make someone's evening, relative to the rest of the scum that exists in this world that people have to tolerate and scrape off their boots nightly.

                      Wow. I thought I was the only person who would willingly say "Okay then, strike that off my order" if the total came out to be more money than I had with me. To read about someone else doing it is just . . . terrific.

                        Most of this community is like that.

                        Heck, most of this community would rock up to the cashier already knowing which things they're going to short themselves on. And if possible, would have the cashier ring those up last, and get a subtotal beforehand.

                        But yeah - there's a LOT who don't.

                        1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
                        2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
                        3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
                        4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                          I had that at the hotel one night. It was already pretty late, so I was applying the BCAA (same as triple-A) discount regardless of whether or not someone was actually a member just to avoid haggling. One woman pulled out her card, and bitched at me for not giving her a discount for being a member. I tried to point out I'd already given her the discount anyway. And I'd thought I'd had a bad headache before she started yelling...

                            ==========


                            Here's my own story, as a customer, kinda related to both parts of the OP;

                            I went to the McDonald's across the street one time during a 4-piece Nuggets for $.99 promo

                            I ordered my three or four, or whatever 4-pieces, and asked for tartar as the sauce, (probably one per, and IIRC offfering to pay any extra if the amount was "over the limit").

                            The guy said that he couldn't do that. Cue confused look on my face, (non-sucky customer's version of cat-butt face). He explained further, that since the special was essentially a loss leader, he was unable to give out anything other than the standard Nuggets' sauces. Plus, their tartar is not prepackaged in those branded little tubs/packets. They are in the little plastic containers with lids that are filled from bulk, and likely in-store.

                            Cue light bulb going off over my head, and acceptance of explanation, (non-sucky customer's version of "This is unacceptable!! The customer is ALWAYS right!! I pay your wages!! ELEVENTY!!!!11111")

                            So, I chose another type of sauce, and the guy tossed those in the bag and said "I went ahead and included one tartar for you".


                            Cue a smile, and huge thanks from me, as I walked out happy (non-sucky customer's version of.................well, since they didn't play nice, they would not gotten far enough in the game to earn a bonus, so I guess the closest thing would have been when the stomped/peeled out, screaming "This SUCKS!!! I'm never coming here again!!!1111")

                              Edited for relevancy. I'm going out to get breakfast since I'm too lazy to cook. I know the Jack across the street doesnt have a preview board, so I don't know where their timer starts. Franchise is evil enough to start it at the box anyways. Im on the site looking at the menu trying to figure out what my craving is.
