Okay, so my first job was fast food, I quit for another job, that job made me want to smash in my head, and then got my same job in fast food back. In the 8 month interval that I was not working at this restaurant I swear someone must've come and hit some of my customer's with the dumb stick because I promise, they weren't this challenged before.
bg start/ One of the ice machines in our lobby is broken and has an out of order sign on it. We have two ice machines in the lobby and the OTHER one is working. /bg end
Players: Old lady et moi
OL: So you guys are out of ice?
Me: No ma'am, the other ice machine has ice.
OL: Huh?
Me: The ice machine to your right
*confusion continues*
Me: To your right..... to your right. The ice machine on your right ma'am.
*she finally gets it but goes to press the lever for water rather than the obvious and bright red button for ice*
Me: Ma'am, ma'am, that's water. The other button is for ice.
*confusion ensues*
Me: The other button.... the other button towards the top.
She finally figures out how to use the ice machine.
The sad thing in this is similar conversations take place on average once a week with different customers since my return. The two ice machines are not connected and are at least two feet away from each other so when the Out of Order sign is clearly on the left machine, why do customers assume the right one is broken as well? This particular ice machine had been broken for 6 months before I quit (they don't like fixing our things at this particular store) and I never had this problem before.....
And then the need to learn to read. Or rather, to understand what your reading. The fast food chain decided to discontinue two of our sandwiches and during the month interval between the end of one sandwich and the beginning of the next we've had a SOLD OUT sign on these particular sandwiches.
AT LEAST once a day I get "Are you really sold out of <sandwich>?" ....No, I put those signs up for fun. I still have a few in the back for my VIP customers.
Or, when the breakfast menu is still up "Are you still serving breakfast?" ...No, I wanted you to see the pancakes, since they're pretty, but you can only order burgers right now, m'kay? At first I thought maybe they wanted to know if they could order lunch items so I usually answer this question with "We are serving a full menu right now, breakfast and lunch." But then they order all breakfast items. So in reality they just didn't believe the menu. Why? What did the menu ever do to you to make you distrust it so?! D:
I love when these people come through drive thru because then I can make my sarcastic comments without being heard. It makes me lol.
