Okay, so maybe I'm being a little harsh. I'm pretty patient, but being patient doesn't mean that I'm not annoyed, just means that I won't blow my top for a good long time. (Seriously, camping a single rare spawn in a game for 8 hours straight teaches one patience.)
So I went to Qdoba (yes, I do love Qdoba, it's a happy food for me and is healthier than McDonald's.) I entered in, probably maybe 10-15 minutes before the dinner rush would start and see this couple in front of me. Now there are a few different sucks this couple committed in my opinion.
Suck the first, or, No Queso sauce is NOT a salsa;
So the lady had a coupon for free chips and salsa, I recognized that coupon as one that I get e-mailed from time to time and am always very excited when I get it because I LOVE Qdoba tortilla chips.
So she asks if the queso (or cheese) sauce counts as a salsa and is told no. Not sucky, very valid question.
It's when she starts trying to do little tricks into getting the poor cashier (who is working the front by herself at the moment) to give her queso instead of salsa on the free coupon. First she taste tests all the other salsas they have, then starts talking about how she'd like both the red and green salsas. The cashier tells her that she can have both a red and green salsa. Then she discusses it with creepy guy that she's with, then goes, "Oh well instead of the two salsas can I have the queso sauce?"
Cashier: Well, I can sell you a side of queso sauce--
Woman: No, no. I mean with the coupon.
Cashier: No.
Woman: But I can have two kinds of salsa?
Cashier: Yes.
So another round of taste testing.
This repeats at least three times (minus the taste testing) with the woman trying different ways of phrasing the question or series of questions.
Finally they decide to get the chips and one of each red and green salsa, and purchase a side of queso.
Suck the Second, or, Didn't you just decide this?
So they've decided to get the chips, queso, and salsas. Then there is this huge debate over the price. Mind you, they are only being charged for the queso side. So the guy starts pondering and pondering if they should get a second bag of chips. There was - I kid you not - a ten minute explanation and intense discussion of the difference in price between just a bag of chips, a bag of chips and salsa, and a bag of chips and queso sauce.
Seriously. Oh, and now there's someone waiting behind me too.
Suck the Third, or, BONUS ROUND CREEP
So, someone who I believe is the Store Manager pops out around now to make my burrito, while the cashier is tied up. The cashier then asks the indecisive nits to step to the side so that she can ring me through while they make their decision. So I ask for just a bag of chips - that wasn't so hard! - and then proceed to go through payment. Now, I also have a filled out application for Qdoba with me to give to them because minimum wage is better than no wage.
Let me paint you a picture of Mr. Indecisive Creep. Looking at his face you think of a rat with a beard (and not cool like Splinter or Nicodemus) with the nose of a hawk and sunken in cheeks. Oh, and his nose seems to be constantly running. His shoulders are rounded over like he's constantly trying to keep someone sitting behind him from cheating off his test and he's wearing a hoodie under a puffy jacket and pants that are surely 4 sizes too big for him.
All of I sudden, as I'm pulling out my money, I feel my personal bubble being breached, and then I hear, "Qdoba, Team Member application. So you wanna work here?"
Yup.
Mr. Indecisive Creep is all up on my back sticking his head over my shoulder to see the papers I'm holding.
So I just answered, "Yeah."
"Guess you like the food here..." he says in a tone so greasy I swore it came off the fryalator at the nearby McD's. It was a tone that said if I give him an inch he'll use it to act like I'm coming onto him.
So, my answer is...
"Thanks for my change, bye now," to the cashier and I walk off. I could almost feel the look of disdain and the obviously scoffed "Bitch" as I strode off with my burrito and chips.
