You're Dead To Me, Can-Opener!

[himmelkrieg]

I just love when my hatred in humanity is re-kindled by two nigh unto simultaneous actions...

So there I am, sitting in the drive-thru at Jack in the Box, waiting for my food, and it's been close to 7 minutes. My window is down, of course, as I am expecting to pay for my food and receive it. I know the woman in front of me had a rather large order,

here, at bubble island [where i get bubble tea, go figure] they have popcorn chicken...it comes in a huge take-out box with millions of little awesome chicken bits...and you are only allowed one cup of honey mustard unless you want to pay an extra 25 cents for each cup you require after the first one.

because honey mustard is SO RARE, AND ALL.

Y'know, the thing was, I was totally prepared to pay for extra ranch, I would -gladly- have done so, had I been able to talk to the manager. It was this kids shitty attitude that totally pissed me off...

[xephemeralx]

understandably so.

and kid + attitude made me think of those two girl-things on the bus at the zoo. remember that?

Y'know, I feel for this window dweeb who has to put up with twits who refuse to pull forward, but he's got no excuse to take his frustrations with previous customers out on you. In customer service you bend over and take it with a smile . . . that's the nature of the beast.

Poor schmuck . . . what a life this guy has. (I used to LOVE spicy chicken bits *sigh*)

To quote Farnsworth (and maybe I should have used this for my post)- "He may have ocean madness, but that's no excuse for ocean rudeness!"

[skullard]

Good point! All rude people should be refered to the doctor. *flipping on PA system* Paging Doctor Lecter . . . Doctor Lecter to the cafeteria.

Mean window guy, taking out his frutration on you for no reason. That's so rude. (The Ocen-Rudeness is a great quote, and one that has been a Luka Subject heading quite a while back!)

I'm sorry if those jerks ruined your meal. :(

[himmelkrieg]

It's not that my meal was ruined, I mean, it;s hard to ruin spicy chicken bites, they're delicious golden fried nuggets of pure win, it's just that incidences like this reaffirm my lack of faith in humanity.

On the plus side, when I was driving home, I saw a house that I thought already had it's Christmas lights up, and was prepared to rant about that too, but on closer inspection, they were pumpkin bulbs! So either they're very lazy, or sticking it to the rest of society, but either way, I 'm content!^_^

I can't help but wonder if buying a bottle of ranch and making your own spicy chicken strips would have been less stressful (and ultimately, more delicious). Need a recipe for them? ;)
