Overheard at the Golden Arches

[KuariKaydrith]

Customer: What kind of donuts do you have?

Coworker: I'm sorry ma'am, but we don't have any donuts. However, we do have...

Custy: What do you mean you don't have donuts? What <popular donut/coffee place named for a Canadian hockey player> doesn't have donuts?!

CW: This is not <popular donut/coffee place>. That would be at the gas station next door.

Custy: No! I know what drive-thru I went into! You just don't want to do your job...get me your manager!

CW: Look at the log on the wall nearest you - I assure you that we're not a donut place at all.

Custy: You screwed with your drive-thru lanes just to mess with me!

CW: No, ma'am, we certainly did not. In fact we've been here longer than the gas station, and there's an entirely different business between us and the gas station. There is no way for us to make any changes to the drive-thru to direct traffic from their drive-thru to ours.

Custy: But I want a donut! You must go get me a donut.

CW: Ma'am, I do not have to do that. You need to clear the lane unless you are going to order something we do happen to have.

I didn't hear the rest, but my coworker later said that the woman drove away cursing, convinced that somebody did something to the drive-thru.

I wonder if it's the same woman who was convinced that we served Way of the Sub sandwiches and was angry that I wouldn't make her a lobster sub. For one, wrong restaurant, and two, it's not time for the local Way of the Subs to have that local special.

Thinks rather highly of herself, doesn't she? Apparently believes she's just SOOOOO speshul and important that businesses will go to the time and trouble and expense of rearranging their drive-thrus JUST to hassle Her Highness.

For all the time she wasted complaining, she could have just pulled into the OTHER drivethru, but that'd make too much fuckin' sense...

Of course! Also, it's not like it was HER fault that eeeeebil aliens messed with the drive-throughs, causing her to go through the wrong one ...

[Trixie]

"Okay! Here she comes, time to reroute all the drive-thru lanes!"

[Mental_Mouse]

"Okay! Here she comes, time to reroute all the drive-thru lanes!"

"And while we're at it, change all the real dollars into funny-money! That'll mess with her good!"

[Food Lady]

I literally just

At least she didn't threaten to assume her ultimate form.

Actually with the whole "Class and sophistication" angle they're going for, I wouldn't be surprised if they start making donuts.

Two chocolate glazed patties, special sauce, cheese, pickles, lettuce, onions on a Boston Cream bun.

That sounds like something a pregnant woman would demand as a craving

****RM silently slinks away *******

Yeah my ExDW did crave a couple of strange things LOL

IN her defense, however meekly it must be said, when you're hungry you can do some odd things.

My Dad was this way back when I was a kid and mortified me on more than one occasion when he'd bypass the order board and go directly to the drive-thru window and yell at the poor worker who told him he had to order first, would also claim the lanes weren't marked right, even if big yellow arrows were painted on the ground and a lit up sign present that said "order here first", he had a thing about being bad a directions AND blaming it on missing/incorrect signs. Once they talked him around to the ordering board, he would order something not on the menu, or order "A" and when it came, he'd swear he ordered "B" and when even I was telling him he wasn't right, he ordered "A", he'd be driving off muttering about how the store "only hires idiots".

I can't believe we're related sometimes.

Honestly, I think it was his insecurity showing, as the "smart" guy of the family, he never passed an opportunity to let the poor retail workers have it for being too dumb to be him.....
