My wife almost became an SC, but I managed to keep her on track.
The other night, we decide to have Long John Silver's for dinner (why? I don't know. I'm a masochist, I guess.). We order our food and pull up to the window. They take our money, give change and our drinks then head back. Below is a time line of comments using AP (after paying).
1Minute AP
Wife: I hope they aren't too long. I'm hungry.
Me: Me, too.
5 Min AP
Wife: What's taking so long?
Me: I don't know, Honey. Maybe they need to cook something fresh. I hope so anyway.
Wife: *Smirk*
10 Min AP
Wife: This is ridiculous.
Me: I know.
Wife: May I yell at them through the window.
Me: No, Honey. That won't help.
15 Min AP
Wife: Please?
Me: Honey, where do you work?
Wife: Huh? I work at (government agency). You know that.
Me: Yes. And do you like people yelling at you when you're just doing your job?
Wife: *sigh* No. I'm sorry, I'm just hungry.
Me: I know. Well here they are now.
We finally get our food and leave. As I suspected, they had to cook everything fresh. So it was all good (this time).
BONUS ROUND!
Last night my wife and I go to Arby's. We order and pull around. The manager is working the register. We pay and he gives us the drinks. What follows is FAIL.
Me-
Wife- The love of my life
Manager- Lost AND blind.
Big Guy- Savior of dinner!
Manager: So you have (wrong order 1)?
ME: No, I had (right order)
Manager: What? *pokes at register* So you didn't have (wrong order 2)?
Me:
No.
Manager: Just one moment. *pokes around, yells in the back* So, it wasn't (wrong order 1) or (wrong order 2)?
Me: No, neither one of those.
Big Guy: *comes from the back and looks below the window. Picks up a receipt and shows it to me* Sir, is this yours?
Me: *reads* Yes, that's it.
Big Guy: Okay. *to Manager* You must have deleted it.
Manager: What? it isn't (wrong order 1)?
Big Guy: No, that was the order before. But let's get this guy's order.
Manager: But what about this one?
Big Guy: Probably the next order. Let's get this guy's food.
Wife: *sotto voce* We're really going to need to check this to make sure they got it.
Me: *nod*
In the end, we got our food and the Big Guy gave us an apology for the time. We went home and enjoyed our roast beast
