For the past 4 years, I have dutifully worked in the fast food industry. For those of you who don'lt know, 4 years is a LONG time to work fast food! And it's been pretty good for me, but boy oh BOY - if you heard everything that I've heard, you would be surprised that the human race has made it as far as it has. Todays #FFF goes out to the 5 Stupidest Things I Have Heard working fast food.
1. "How many come in the 10 piece chicken nuggets?" --- REALLY?!? Oh yeah, that so HAPPENED! Just so you know, 10 chicken nuggets come in a 10 piece chicken nugget!
2. "I need a cheeseburger plain with only ketchup on it." --- Maybe this seems fine to you , but it bothers me. Either because it's a pet peeve or else because I hear it ALL THE TIME. Something with ketchup is NOT plain. There are no two ways around it! Get it right people, only ketchup OR plain.
3. My co-worker: "Can I get you anything else with that?" Coustomer:"All I'm missing is a side of you." --- Talk about awakward! I mean, I have been asked out through a drive through window, but never have I ever been a side that was missing!
4. "That's to go." Coming from a person in the drive through. --- So this may need to be said when you're at a drive in restraunt(A&W or Sonic), but in a drive through there is no other option. It always makes me laugh when people say things like that, I wonder if they left their brain at home (which happens to everyone sometimes).
5. "Can I have a twist cone. Like 50% chocolate and 50% vanillia. Like half and half, white and brown." ---I have heard a LOT of different ways to describe twist ice cream, but this person took it to a whole new level, she REALLY wanted to get the cone just right, half and half. Telling us once is USUALLY sufficient, even if it's not, tell us what we did wrong and we can fix the problem!
Of course there were many other things that could go in this post. Druck people yelling through the speakers; people getting ice cream for their pets; coning(grabbing an ice cream cone from the top instead of the normal spot); people ordering while we're trying to help the other car; yelling for attention when we're already working on the other car; people asking employees out.... AND SO MUCH MORE!!! Most people are just dumb, but some of them are just rude to be rude, either way... Things get pretty intense.
Do people say things that drive you crazy? What stupid things have you heard people say
