Cow orders out for Chinese

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Met some friends at a Chinese restaurant we like for some Chinese food and socializing this afternoon.

I had just reached the cash register to pay the bill when this Columbia fleece-wearing soccer mom type barged in front of me and mooed at the cashier "You forgot half my goddamn order!"

Cashier said "Right, right, sorry". She must've called the restaurant and tore somebody a new asshole before coming in.

Cashier packed up her food which had been waiting by the cash register. Instead of a thank-you, she barked "You wanna pay for the gas I had to waste coming back here?!" and stampeded on out.

On the way out of the parking lot, she nearly hit somebody pulling into the lot.

WTF lady? Mistakes do occasionally happen when you order out for dinner, believe it or cram it. If you don't want to waste gas to pick up forgotten food maybe you should just cook your own meals at home.

Or she could have checked the order before she left in the first place...

I will never understand why it's so hard for people to at least give drive-thru and carryout orders a cursory glance before heading for home--it saves so much time and energy!

Also, I now want Chinese for dinner. Any my Chinese place is far away from work. Boo.

But . . . . but that's not HER job to make sure she has everything. That's for us poor retail slaves to do.

And she probably expects everyone else to wipe her butt too.

Columbia fleece wearing soccer mom?

I do love how detailed you can be, IPF. I've got a mental picture going right now. Was she driving a Ford Excursion with super sized cup holders with her Blue tooth attached to her ear?

She also left the Excursion running, while parked across three different spots, with her 2.5 children and dog still inside, wondering why Mommy was saying potty-mouth words.

Full disclosure: I myself have a north face jacket. That was my splurge to myself after my tax refund last year. Sorry if it makes you think less of me.

And no, she wasn't driving a big SUV or a minivan; just a normal 4-door sedan. I did not see anybody else inside.

It doesn't make me think any less of you, it just made me laugh is all.....

All right all right! I'll go sit in the corner then!

Oh, you know I love you guys.

You're forgiven.

And now, may I bribe you with the ice cream/baked good/booze of choice?

Too late! There's already a stockpile of them over here, 'cause the corner's where the lid to my sewer opens up.

Oh. OK.

Sooooooo...anyone else have good stories about people not checking/leaving food, then having to drive back from three states over to bitch about it?

[blas]

No....but maybe 3 COUNTIES over, since there are so many tiny little piss ant towns around the huge city......so it really is a huge trip to go to McDonalds for them. You'd think they'd remember to check, though, right?
