Ok, two more SC tales...
#1: No hablo Espanol...
Ok, first, I do know how to speak some basic Spanish.
But occasionally at the food service job I used to have, I would be working in the drive-thru, and after a greeting, I would hear someone with a Spanish accent ask if I spoke Spanish (but they'd ask it in a broken-English kind of way, where it sounded like "Speeka Spanish?" or some such).
Occasionally, I would say "Si" (yes), but there would be times when I was either having a bad day, or whatever, when I would say "No", and make them order in English. Because, surprisingly enough, I was one of the few who worked there who actually knew some Spanish. Is that wrong??
SC #2: The multi-order drive-thru car.
When I worked at the burger joint, we would occasionally have people come through the drive-thru and say something like "I have two separate orders."
I would have liked for my response to have been, "No, you do not." or "We cannot accept multiple orders from the same car through the drive-thru".
I hated this, because our drive-thru was timed. They wanted the cars in and out in under 3 minutes.
One guy even threatened to sit there until we took his FOUR separate orders.
Oh, how I hated that and wanted that policy changed!
