McSuck: Back in the good ol days

[63Bravo]

Hey there! First time poster, long time lurker. So, lets get 'er done.


I remember this customer even after the 3 years I have quit my McJob.
Well, I was in highschool. It was a pretty busy night due to the following reasons: school was out for the summer, 8 o'clock rush, rainy......The perfect ingredients for a sexually frustrated, middle-aged man. (I know what you're thinking: WTF?)

Anyways, I'm in drive-thru working two positions at once. Take money, give change, take order, run to front, hand out order, run to back, rinse-lather-repeat.
This balding older "gentleman" made small talk, (weather sucks, its so busy! wow.)
And proceeded forward after I repeated his order and completed his transaction.

A problem in the front: Lady at drive-thru window wants fresh nuggets! Funny, because her batch had been pulled up fresh from the frier about 40 seconds ago.
Time passes and people in drive get agitated. After the nugget incident, I had the next 2 orders ready to pass out. BAM........BAM.....Done. Here comes the sexually frustrated middle-aged man.

SFMAM: What the fuck was that all about!!!
ME:Sorry, Sir. We had to wait for nuggets to come up, but now everything is back up to speed.
SFMAMUnacceptable! Do you know how long I've been sitting in your fucking drive-thru?! 30 MINUTES! 30 FUCKING MINUTES!

I was just speechless. I just didn't know exactly what to say. Just a bit shocked. I quickly muttered how I was going to check his order so I could get his ass out as quick as possible. As I backed away, he starts honking and yelling through the open window.
People in the lobby are leaning forward to see who the hell is making all this noise.
SFMAM:GET BACK HERE! WAS I FINISHED TALKING TO YOU?
Thank deity of your choice his burgers were finished and his fresh fries came up.
(I also noticed on the timer, his vehicle has been "stuck" in my drive for 5 minutes. Not the best time, but a lot better than 30!
So I bag all his food and get the napkins, straw, ketchup.
ME:Here you are, Sir, Sorry about the wai-
SFMAM:Bullshit! You aren't sorry! Everything better be in here or Ill be back to talk with your supervisor!
He was just about to leave but stopped
SFMAM:Next time, stop flirting with all the girls. I SAW you.
He drove off. Leaving me talking to his tail lights
ME: But I didn't.....

See, The only people working at the moment was my friend George up front, store manager in the office in the back, and an older lady in her 50s in the grill. I was talking to her but.....I'm sorry if it looked like I was flirting with a 50 year old, she is like a second mom to me.
Some people. Guess he will take his 4 doubles, 2 fries, and his large diet home to his cat infested home and eat alone.

My first post. Whew. Thank you for reading and I promise my stories will get better (working Security at a hotel in a shady part of town) along with my style.
Look forward to meeting you all!

That seems to be a common occurrence with sucky customers -- the time they claim they were waiting is about six times what it actually was.

Good first post, BTW!

I thought it was good, too. And familiar. Very familiar.

I know that Suck knows no boundaries and does not discriminate about who it lands on (except in the case of Racist Suck, but that's merely a ... dialect of Suck, one could suppose), but things like this are exactly why I chose not to go into a food service job. That said, I have great respect for those who can do those jobs and stay friendly and positive and do their jobs properly.

Besides, when my wait in the drive-thru gets long, I have this instinctive tendency to blame the customers in line ahead of me for ordering enough food for the 101st Airborne/sending their order back for extra ketchup/flirting with the drive-thru cashier/yelling at the cashier/(insert your choice of Suck here).
