*glowers* Drive thru people suck

I hate the people who work the drive thru, I really really REALLY do. How hard is it to NOT put something on when someone says no, go ahead and charge me normal but don't put that on.

I stopped to get some breakfast tacos this morning since I was taking my car into the shop and knew I'd need to actually eat breakfast today, and get something to munch on at work later, with no way to go out for lunch. Fast forward through babying the damn car along to keep it from overheating, waiting for a driver to be able to bring me in, and being bombarded with this this this when I walk in to my desk. I finally open the bag to have some breakfast and.. THERE IS EGG ON THERE. EVERY ONE. *screams* I don't like paying normal price for the damn things when I say NO EGG and they make more money off me and don't up the other portions. But I repeated it *FOUR* times, NO EGG. She replied four times, yes ma'am with no egg. *screams* How stupid are these people???

I rarely get my order right when I go through drive thrus, but ironically its the convict staffed Wendy's that always has nice customer service and gets exactly what I want. Go figure.

Wendy's must train their people well, I don't usually have problems with them except for forgetting somethng once. They get the food rightwhich is a nice change. *exasperated sigh* I'm just in a foul mood today methinks.

Very! I'd say statistics for me getting a drive through order correct run about 20% of the time. First off though, I'd have to say part of the problem is in communication...more than half the people I come into contact in drive thrus, are rarely understandable, and obviously understand me even less. Popeye's is the worst, and rather than spend ten minutes over the speaker, I order once, then spend the ten minutes at the window having the order corrected. But lack of communication is just a part of the problem. Beyond that I get the impression these people suffer no repercussions from providing bad service, and therefore there is no reason to waste their time changing.

Maybe they have more to lose if they get canned...?

The turnover rate at fast food places are ridiculous anyway.

I just hope they had clean hands before they put that egg on there. :( Stephanies drive through orders are right about 10% of the time. I feel bad for her. I just assume mine will be wrong , and if it happens to be right, then I chalk it up to being lucky.

Now for something slightly off topic,

I got my lunch today from a 6 ft tall, 300 pound transvestite at Burger King today. It was horrible, he looked like a man with penciled eyebrows, his hair was in a bun with some kind of lace thing, and spoke like a man.....trying to use a girley voice. It was quite odd. I asked my coworker what the fuck was that, and he replied..."What was what?" I said you didn't see that dude dressed up like a woman? He said "That was a man?" I said, "You're kidding me right?" They must have hooked up at some point.

Hey Rikr we have one of those at the McDonald's by my work. VERY obviously a guy who wears scarves over his neck and the whole 9 yards. I think it's kind of funny actually. But at least BK & McD's aren;t discriminating so that's good!!

We have one at the 7-11 His name is Jill. Don't ask why I remember that, because I don't know. S/he's very nice and helpful and has like a million tatoos, and if I'm not mistaken, in my oh so extensive, television based knowledge, some of them are prision tats. Not that I'm judging or making assumptions or anything.


Ok, so why am I talking about the transgender guy/girl at the 7-11 anyway?
