Life Lesson #567,909
IT DOESN'T PAY TO BE PREPARED
That's right, you read it. Maybe I'm just obsessive, but there has always been something about people who don't have their orders ready when they get to the window, or the waitress comes that makes me violently outraged. So as a result I am ALWAYS prepared when I get to the window, or the waitress comes to my table. I take it slow, have all like foods grouped together so that all I have to do is designate a number, speak clearly, have all the orders in my party already in my head. I do these practice run throughs in my head so that I don't mess up the order and everyone is pleased with our dining experience. WELL....seems like God doesn't appreciate this preparation!!! It never fails that the "moron of the month" is going to take my order.
ME: Hello, I would like to order 2 ultimate cheesburger combos, 1 with no ketchup and both of those orders with...
Idiot: Hang on there Sloopy! now you want a cheeseburger with extra ketchup?
Me: No Ma'am, I wanted 2 cheeseburgers, one with NO ketchup, curly fries with both orders, and 2 large teas
Idiot: ok, you wanted 2 cheeseburgers, some curly fries?
Me: and 2 large teas
Idiot: Well Ma'am why don't you just get the combos? they're cheaper.
Me: *vein popping out of my forehead, trying to be tactful* That is a great idea, I'm so glad you brought that to my attention, I never realized you could get them as a 'combo'
Idiot: Yes Ma'am, you can. So you want 2 cheeseburger combos, with curly fries? what did you want to drink with that Ma'am?
Me: 2..
Idiot: what size Ma'am?
Me:LARGE PLEASE!!!!
Idiot: ok let me see if I got this right...2 cheesburger combos with curly fries and 2 large teas?
Me: YES!
UGH!!!! it's times like these when you just want to ask someone "How's it feel to be a fuckin idiot?"
