Starting a War Over.......$.50

[firecat88]

I guess when she found out she would have to pay for the extra sides, her attitude....soured.

(I had to. I just...had to)

[Catwoman2965]

I have to laugh; sometimes i will go to the Qdoba near my second job, and whatever I order, I get with guacamole. I KNOW it costs extra, and have no problem paying for it. But the staff always looks like they expect me to start yelling at them when they tell me its extra. hahahahaa - and seem surprised when I don't.

Well, this little squeezers had the door propped open and when I walked in I had to shout back at the car "Three pizzas or four?" so I'd assumed the clerk knew I was at least sharing.
That and I'm lactose intolerant, that many pizzas would easily kill me.
I did eat all the breadsticks and sauce...and the crusts from one of the guy's pizza slices
At a miccy-dees I ordered of the 50 piece nuggets for my group and the clerk just stared at my belly when I asked for them. Yep, all 100 chicky nuggets are going in there!

[PatchO'Black]

Now, to be fair, I'm sure some folks could pack away a large order in a single seating. Heck, Eating Champion Joey Chestnut is proof of this! However, he is also proof that one cannot judge a person's eating habits based on their waistline.

Im glad my store stopped selling the 50 piece. Those really kill the kitchen because thats a double drop from normal so you never stop making nuggets while also dropping other fried products. If you dont have a decided person for that it can increase your serving times. We did keep the 20 piece plus 2 med/large fries and drinks, but i rarely see people order that.

Re: sour cream incident... It sounds like the woman has played that card before and gotten free stuff from managers terrified over a discrimination lawsuit because of her obesity.

Re: The "it's not all for me" statement... she's either heard that a million times from people at fast food places, or it really was all for her and she was trying to divert the thought before you thought it.

Speaking of it being too hot to cook, I'd just as soon cook at home than pile all five of us into the blazer and drive anywhere. I made chicken enchiladas in my toaster oven and it didn't heat up the house at all. Much nicer than going out.

[Sapphire Silk]

Most sour cream my store sells is about $4, so that woman was better off with yours I bet!

And ranch dressing with breadsticks just sounds gross to me. Give me marinara sauce for dipping them anyday!

I was thinking the same thing about the sour cream.

And I'm with you on the marinara sauce.

I can't eat ranch or anything with sour cream. I had a roommate who would make a ranch dip with a mix and sour cream. He'd leave the leftovers in the bowl all over the house to go bad. The smell was horrible.

I won't go near it.

[mharbourgirl]

I can go to Sobey's and get a 500ml tub of sour cream for $2.79. I bet I could get about 20 fast-food-sized cups out of that.

Then again, I'm always surprised when a side comes free, I EXPECT to pay for them because the restaurant has to pay for them. Why would you, living in a society based on capitalism, expect to get ANYTHING for free? Meh, I think too much, clearly.

[MoonCat]

I could eat sour cream with a spoon. All. By. Itself. I don't, but I totally could!

Seriously, I would never ask someone buying a lot of food if it was "all for them." How rude! I don't care how big or small the person is.

[EricKei]

Odd thing..I don't really like sour cream in/on food, including tacos...but, sour cream & chives dip with some chips? Sign me up!

[underemployeed]

We did keep the 20 piece plus 2 med/large fries and drinks, but i rarely see people order that.

Here is one thing I never understood about the twenty piece. the 5PC nugget is like 1$, or is it a 4pc now. at any rate. It has for some reason been significantly cheaper to get 4 X 5 to get 20. I mean really if four 5pc nuggests are $4.00..... why is the 20pc 4.96 or something along that lines.

If I was asked this on a large order, I wouldn't personally be offended. There could be lots of reasons to pick up a large order including buying for a large group.

I mentioned this in another thread...but I do have a question about that...I stopped in at a local mickey d's yesterday -- the 20pc by itself was $5, but the 20pc + 2 drinks/2 fries was $12 ... Did they have it mismarked or are they really trying to charge seven dollars for the drinks and fries? o_O;>

[Jester]

I walk over to my register and start to ring her up for the 12 sides of sour cream because, well, it's not free (duh). She has a cow.

SC: And WHAT do you think you're doing?!!!

"My JOB."

SC: I have to PAAAYYY for it??!!!!!

Welcome to America, genius. Enjoy your stay.

By the way, while I can see (and often have seen) an establishment give ONE side of sour cream (or some other sauce) for free, anyone who thinks they will get TWELVE sides for free is FUCKING STOOPID.

SC: So if I was a skinny twig person I could get free food, but a fat cow like me has to pay??!!! That's discrimination!

No, the skinny twig person would be paying the exact same price. The only discrimination going on here is in your head.

SC: I have to PAAYYYYY!!!!

Welcome to America. Remember to pick up after yourself before you leave.

SC: Well OOOOBVIOOOUUSLLLYYYYYY!!!!!111!!! I CAN'T eat my salad without iiittttttt!!!!!111!!!!

Actually, you can. You may not ENJOY it, but you certainly have the physical ability to do so.

She pays, gets her ranch, and speeds off after calling me a...wait for it...."f*cking dressing bitch Nazi". That has stuck with me I'm a dressing bitch Nazi!!!

No, you're not a dressing bitch Nazi. You're a fucking dressing bitch Nazi. Get it right, and take some pride in your title, damn it!

Wow...I'm that tiny girl that is sent in to get food for all the guys because it gives them a chance to talk about guy stuff. There was ONE time I ordered...like three pizzas and two things of breadsticks, extra sauce, and the clerk looked me up and down and asked if it was all for me.

"Yes, it's all for me. I HUNGER."

"Yes, it's all for me. Working on an adult film set can be very strenuous work, and boy does it make me hungry."

"Yes, it's for me. I have an eating disorder, okay? You don't have to MOCK me for it! WWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

"No, don't be silly. It's for me and my friend Roberto here, of course.." At which point you put your arm around an imaginary invisible friend.

(I had to. I just...had to)

100% win on that one!

I KNOW it costs extra, and have no problem paying for it. But the staff always looks like they expect me to start yelling at them when they tell me its extra.

When we used to have a Taco bell in this town, one of my usual orders was Mexican Pizza, with EXTRA sour cream. Do I know that that's extra? Yep. No problem. Thank you. And I paid for it. Why? Because I'm not a cheapass motherfucker, and I like a healthy amount of sour cream on my Mexican Pizza, thank you very much.

A couple of years ago, I was in a bar in Fort Myers Beach, and asked for a shot of one particularly nice sipping rum that I had never had. The bartender hesitated, saying, "Just so you know, that's $22 a shot." Slamming my hand down on the bar, I said, "No problem! I'm on vacation!"

The staff kinda liked me after that!

I could eat sour cream with a spoon. All. By. Itself. I don't, but I totally could!

I have.

I did tell someone once that I was buying for the rest of the girls, while wearing a swimsuit that looked rather...lingerie-ish. :P
I also once picked up pizza and when I had to wait, I dropped a famous porn Jenny's name instead of mine The guy turned all red and was like..."You look a lot younger in person."
I was told that a steady diet of breadsticks counted as an eating disorder before too...because I did scarf down three orders and the crusts from half a pizza. I was hungry!
I'll have to try the Roberto one next time.
