Some interesting ones (not all SCs)...

[penguingeekgod]

I work at Arby's drive thru and here are a few adventures...

Case 1 (done over the headsets)

Her: Do you have any snacks, that are, like, healthy?
Me: ...
GM: ...
Me: ...
GM: ...
Her: Wow, that was a really silly question, wasn't it?
Me: ...
GM: ...
Me: Ummm... Fruit cups ...?
GM (to me): Nice save.
Her: Give me 2.

She soon returned them. I side with her... $3.18 for 2 2oz fruit cups with just apples and grapes? Give me a freakin' break. I can buy a POUND of apples for that price.


Case 2 (at the window)

We have PayPass at the window. A 40something guy pulls out a $20 and SWIPES IT BY THE READER.

Him (staring at me blankly, being serious): Is that how it works?
Me (struggling to maintain composure): No, special cards cards only...
After the window closes I crack.
GM: What happened?
Me: You remember that thing about the PayPass I predicted? IT JUST HAPPENED.

We had to excuse ourselves briefly.


Case 3 (at window)

We were collecting $1 donations for Big Brothers/Big Sisters and the 20ish guy in the Escalade declines donating.

Me: That's $3.96, please.
Him (anding a $100): Sorry, it's the smallest I have.
Me: Here is your change...
Him: Oh, you can put the coins in for the collection.
Me (with all the sincerity I can muster): Oh, thank you for your generosity...

As he takes his cash, I notice some irony... he was wearing a WWJD? bracelet.


Nothing really bad, but it made things interesting.

I vote 2, because 3 was more depressing than funny. Jerkface.

[AKWalMartCartGuy]

the bracelet gets #3 my vote, but just because he only has $100s doesn't mean he's rich

[mattm04]

True, but he is driving a 50K lux SUV.

Yep, I've got a $100 in my wallet right now. It's payday, I get paid in cash. I took most of it to the bank but kept the $100 because I owe my brother in law $100.

edit: I voted for number 1 because it reminded me of the this exchange, overheard in a steakhouse some years ago:

"Do you have anything suitable for vegetarians?"
"Umm..... the vegetables?"

[Killer Bees]

Case 2 guy could still have made a purchase. For the swiping of money, you should have let him just smell the food

I missed that part

and escalades start at $55k

i say #2 as well,

i have a few arby's stories my self. it was my first (real) job when i was in high school

we had a few mix ups with the au jus sauce, a customer would occasionally come up with the my coffee tastes like soup, or my au jus tastes like coffee. i had to remind my self and others to smell the decaf container before we pour (since we kept them in the same looking carafe.

this one is just gross.

i guess it was the time of year for dissections, as i hear one of my co workers scream in fright, i guess one of the customers had left a skinned cat head on the drive thru window sill

[JustADude]

Gotta go with #2, but I'm a total technophile, so anything with people experiencing Epic Fail with electronics automatically gets my vote.

[Andara Bledin]

Me: That's $3.96, please.
Him (anding a $100): Sorry, it's the smallest I have.

Aw, hell no. Nobody should expect a fast food place to accept anything over a $20.

That's reprehensable! I would have so gotten the plate on that car and called police. They really don't look fondly on animal cruelty.

Oh, and #2 is definitely the most amusing. #1 is silly, and #3 is just a twat.

^-.-^

[SuperB]

Number 1 for me because I'm always asked that. It's as silly in a convenience store as it is in a fast food restaurant.

As for number 3, you don't know what they've already donated or to whom. Just because someone appears to own an expensive vehicle doesn't mean they're obligated to stick a dollar in every jar they come across. Many people have regular donations they make on a regular basis. We do. And you have to worry about fraud so much that I never donate to something I have no information on first.

i agree, i cant even watch the animal cops on animal planet cause it makes me so sickened. the manager did call the police btw. i dont remember if they left it before or after they got their food. i do remember saying i would have refused service if they were there. so she might not have been able to get a plate or some one just sneaked up and put it there.
