Crazy...just crazy
We finished golf today around 7:00 (my dad and me) and usually everytime we finish, we go to Checkers. They kind of gotten to know us over the past 2 years because we go there all the time. They have the best deals in town and the best food for that price. It's great. You look forward after golf to sinking your teeth into a big juicy hamburger. I just had one about 20 min ago and it was good.
Anyway, usually we see the same people there all the time and there's a so-so "diner friendship." We talk about random stuff and they kind of talk back, you get the point. So, we drive up and order 2 bacon cheeseburgers ($2.50 each) and a chicken sandwhich ($1.00). We had a coupon for the cheeseburgers, buy one get one free. We say our order with what we want on it. Then, the fast-food girl repeats our order back to us perfectly with everything right and since we had a coupon she said to pull ahead to the window. So my dad and I are enjoying sitting in the car listening to music when we drive up to the window, hand our coupon to the girl, and hear the total $8.41!? The girl had somehow added a cheeseburger out of nowhere, and taken our coupon and didn't do anything to change the order.
Well, while my dad and I are both trying to get this girl to understand what's wrong with the order, she's yelling at her mom (who we have seen there working a long time, but now the daughters have a new job, yea!) trying to get her over here while completely ignoring us. She finally gets the order right 3 minutes later. So we're waiting again when we hear something from inside say something and the her say "it wasn't my fault it was his fault, he ordered the extra cheeseburger!" I sat there going "are you kidding me?!"
Rule #1-Customer is always first, no excpetions
Rule #2-It's never the customer's fault
Good lands, I'm sitting there telling dad that she can't talk to him like that. I started saying the rules of fast-food. He just sits there and says that she's probably new on the job. Yes, true but don't people grow up with respect, politeness, and manners? Maybe it was just our family; how hard is it to practice these things around other people. Oh well, another sermon by me and...that...is what happened interesting today. People!
P.S.-It was good food though...
I totally agree with you. It's not brain surgery, for heaven's sake, and treating people with common courtesy ought to be common sense.
Glad the food was good, though.
