  • I want ALL my food for free! - EW

    So we went out to eat at Hardee's last night since I am still all blehhh after, you know, popping out a human being. :P MIL and family were with us, and placed their orders...only one that bears any significance is the fact one of my brother in laws orders the mushroom swiss thickburger.

    Hubby and I order a simple burger and fries, and a chicken strip basket...I had to go sit down at this point because I was too exhausted to stand.

    ...15 minutes later I kinda realize that hey...waitasec...everyone else is almost finished eating...where is my husband and our food? O_o I look and he's still at the counter, waiting. WTF?

    ...10 minutes after THAT, everyone's long done and kinda looking at me and saying stuff like "What is taking your food so long?" I'm getting a bit perturbed...I was hungry. So I start to walk up front and this is what's going on:

    Remember aforementioned mushroom burger? Turns out that BIL got the very last bit of mushrooms in the building. EW pulls up in drive thru, and ordered the same thing. He was informed politely that they were out of mushrooms...another customer had just gotten the last of them. EW starts ranting about how inconvenienced he is by the fact they are out, and demands the sandwich for free. Employees were understandably "WTFing" at him...but after trying to calm him down and realizing it was going to go nowhere, they gave him that burger for free.

    THEN, he gets his food and demands a full refund on the entire order (over 4 of the pricier combos) since he is having to deal with a mushroomless sandwich. That's what ended up holding up the entire place... They only had two people running the place on a Saturday night (!!) and this guy was screaming at both the manager on duty and the drive thru window chick.

    What a total idiot...I don't think they comped him the meals in the end (thank GOD) and I heard him pulling a tire squealie out of the parking lot. :P Its an EW thing to ask for a free sandwich because a certain topping is out...but to demand your entire order for free afterwards? What a bastige.

    So they ran out of mushrooms, big deal. They could A) go somewhere else that has the mushroom sandwiches or B) order something else off the menu. Running out of one lousy topping does NOT mean the entire meal should be free and the check being comped.

        "Sure, there's plenty left. And free. Just as long as you can get 'em."

          Darwin didn't fail us, we put so many warnings and labels that we have failed him.

            I was thinking that it was a moronic legal system, stupidly imposed culture rules (customer is always right? NO!), and frivolous lawsuits that killed Darwin.

            If we could divert people back to the the thinking that stupidity not be rewarded and purge entitlement from our society we would be taking a step in the right direction.

              There are no mushrooms!? Oh no!!!!!!! NOOO!!!!!!!! Life is over as we know it!

              Not getting exactly what you want all the time isn't an "inconvenience," it's reality. Deal with it, jackass.

                  cave ews again? dammit, tonk, no free haunch of mammoth for you!

                  gah, i'm glad he didn't get a free meal AND cash back; take it elsewhere, if you can't get your holy grail of sandwiches. (priorities, man!)

                        If it's one thing I loathe, it's entitlement whores. I've seen this so many times, like the guy who demanded a free meal at Taco Bell because they ran out of hot sauce. Or, the lady at Best Buy who demanded a free gift card due to her having to wait longer than normal. Hell, there was one time I went to Bennigan's and they ran out of bananas for my banana daiquiri. I should have demanded my meal for free, right? The strawberry daiquiri was actually much better anyhow.

                          Yeah, I eventually did. And ya know...the chicken strips there ROCK. I mean...good lord. Hardee's always did know how to make good chicken.

                            I'd probably would see the EW's point of view if he bought the burger with mushrooms and he paid extra for the mushrooms and when he was served the burger he was then told there was no mushrooms, and he asks for a free burger. But since he ordered it and was told right away there was no mushrooms, he should have just left or ordered something else. And then he wanted the whole order for free? I hope he chokes on his diet drink.

                              Yes they did. And now they are no longer in my neck of the woods.
