More fun with chicken.
1) Duping is cheating
We have a stack of menus for people to take home. We have a menu board on the wall. We have one of the printed menus taped to the counter. So WHY must people distrupt the stack of printed menus, pulling one off and looking at it, offset just THREE inches from the identical menu taped to the counter, occasionally looking up at the menu board. It's not like the menu board is gonna give you more options!
I've gotten good at figuring out when people are gonna piss me off with large orders based on their eyes. Or their weight, at times.
2) Multiple choices!
Me: yay!
MCG: uh, yeah. him.
Me: (Unusually cheery): Hello!
MCG: ... (looks at menu) ....
Me: ...
MCG: ... I'll take the two piece dinner.
Me: Ok, do you want the two-piece breast, leg-and-thigh, or breast-and-thigh?
MCG: (Clearly annoyed) The two piece!
Me: ...We have three different two-piece dinners. Which do you want?
MCG: (Pissed off) The $3.49 one!
Me: ..... Sir! We have TWO different two-piece dinners, both of them $3.49. You need to tell me WHICH ONE you want. Do you want the Two breasts, or a breast and thigh?
MCG: ...
Whatever, he's getting the breast and thigh, simply so he doesn't get two breasts.
3) Wings
SC: Do you guys have any hot wings?
Ahanix: Sorry, we don't have any more right now. I can make some up for you if you want. It'll take about 5 minutes to cook.
SC: Jesus! This is the third night in a row! Screw it, I don't even want them!
...Maybe if you didn't come at 7:30, we'd still have some (We close at 8:00).
4) Multiple pieces is multiple price
SC Are those chicken strips?
Me: Yes
SC How do they come?
Me: 85¢ each, or a 3-piece dinner with wedges and a roll for $3.19.
SC Ok, can I like, buy individual pieces of chicken?
Me: Yes.
SC Ok, can I get six breasts?
Me: .... Ok...
I get her six breasts, ring up the total, write it on the container. All hell breaks loose.
SC $11.34?! You said they were 85¢ each!
Me: No, that's the chicken strips. The breasts are $1.89 each.
SC I asked for the price on breasts!
Me: Actually, you said "Chicken Strips" quite clearly while pointing to them. I told you those were 85¢ each, and you decided to have breasts instead. Breasts are much more expensive because they take more to cook, and contain more meat.
SC (huffs, puffs, walks away with her food)
5) unnamed
We have a salad bar next to the fried chicken stand. People occasionally knock over a thing of sunflower seeds and apologize to me for five minutes, while I keep trying to say "It's fine, you're not the first to do it, you're not the last. This happens all the time". Yet, if someone knocks over a container of ranch dressing, they don't even tell us. Or if they do, they just say "Oh, I knocked over the dressing" and walk away.
