okay, this morning i worked 11-4. and had the pleasure of meeting a pleasant customer
and by that i mean i was ready to kill her violently with an incredibly dirty knife
first, it was 1:15 busy time in drive thru, cars stacked 5 deep when she comes on the intercom with an immediate "hellooooooo" while i'm pouring pepsi with one hand and cashing out a customer's order with the other. i tell her "hi, i'll help you in just a second"
second, i'm handing out food and pepsi 15 seconds later and as i'm out the window i come back in to her, stating her order. i say "i'm sorry, this will be just a second" (i have a system in drive thru that prevents chaos, hand out food, then take money, then take next person's order, then pour drinks and hand out next person's order. clearly this woman had no idea that this was the reason why one person is able to take 50-60 orders 3 hours straight and have the food ready for the customer ready less than a minute upon paying).
third, finaly take her order, she had no idea of the menu but was still eagar to order before anyone else. but people having a basic understanding that kfc serves chicken is all i aim for (people order taco bell, mcdonalds, even pizza at kfc. shit you not). take her order. thought that was it
fourth, was not it. when she arrives she has a pt cruiser (personally, i think ugliest car made) and it was coffee w cream color, in other words everything in a car i don't want, but i don't judge her harshly, she's just a media brain washed idiot. and if kfc turned down service from everyone one of those, we would have no business. and then she hands me the money, a ten. BUT WAIT NO!! 50 cents with the ten, cleverly (or lack there of) folded into the ten. and on the pavement. in the graveyard of change that the obese and stupid spilt change, building up since construction and never picked up (want to make at least 20$? pick up change in drive thrus)
fifth, immediatly she demands i pick it up. stunned i look down about 6 feet to the ground, clearly she must be joking. but alas she isn't. a walk out would cost at least 5 minutes and an impossible weeve through drive thru, which i explain and point to the line of at least 5 cars, 3 of which have yet to order, and no clear shot to the 50¢ around the front that wouldn't include running next to a busy road with cars going 45+ so i offer her an ultimatum. pick up the change or we can take the ten (her meal was 7.68) or she can pick up the change. then she starded swearing like her foot was being cut off. i explain to her that my boss will give me hell if i enter incorrect change and people have been fired when the drawer is short (sanders, apparently hated being jipped out of <1, and has fired multiple people throughout his multi billion dollar empire) she drove off pissed
i fucking hate adult-children.
if your child still throws fits at 50 when they don't get there own way over something small like 50¢, you failed as a parent.
also. i would have been more inclined to pull out ninja moves in retrieving 50¢ for a slightly obese idiot if i got above minium wage for a job i've been doing for 10 months, or if anyone in the history of fast food has ever tipped for good service (and i save the average customer 2-3 dollars, so i am a good server).
