Ahem... Your Mic is On.

My son love the Bakugan toys that McDs is putting in their Happy Meals. I'm an indulgent Mom, especially since he's got the flu right now, so when I pulled through the drive-thru today to pick up lunch, I asked them which ones they had available. They had a blue and a black ball-shaped toy available. I think you can see where this is going....

DT1 & DT2 = Drive-thru or Dumb thug, your choice

Me: I'd like to have the black one, please.
DT1: Okay, that'll be $XX.XX.
DT2 (clearly not realizing he's coming through on the drive-thru speaker): Heh-heh-heh. She wants yer black balls, yo.
DT1 (also not realizing he's still coming thru on the speaker): *snickers* Least I ain't got blue balls like you, what.
Me: Oh, one more thing. When I pull around to the first window, I'd like to have a manager waiting there for me, yo?

The deafening silence was precious.

The manager was not at all happy to hear the jokes about the happy meal toys. I wound up leaving with both their black and their blue balls.

Nice way to stick it to them.

But still hilarious, yo?

I would've loved to see that...yo.

Um, I don't know. I think my response would have been along the lines of "He gotcha, bro..." or maybe "PWNED!!" ... that is if I could have stopped laughing long enough to say that.

DOH!

I luckily never did that when I did Drive Through. Then again we had to push a rather stiff button to get the headphones to work.

It does remind me of this webcomic though:

Those guys were just stupid, not particularly vile (they could have said a lot worse) so I wasn't even upset when I spoke to the manager. She was honestly mortified (must be new to management to not know that people like to play around with the drive-thru headsets... did it myself when I was working at McDs years ago), and I didn't even ask for the extra toy, she just gave it to me with major apologies. Poor woman. I don't see her lasting long in management if she gets flustered that easily.

Actually, that is a trick management learns in order to calm upset customers. If she acts more upset than the customer, the customer does not feel her complaint was belittled or ignored. The customer leaves thinking something big will be done to rectify the problem as the manager was so obviously concerned, and the customer does not escalate the complaint to a higher level.
