Fast Food Rant:
Last time I checked, bacon was a meat...right? It comes from a pig, it's definitely not a vegetable, it's meat. So why do people have such a hard time with this concept when I go to a fast food joint and order a bacon cheeseburger and say "just the meat, the cheese and the bread?" EVERY single time I have done this I get the response, "do you want the bacon on that?" Are you freakin' kidding me!?!?!?!? Come on!
If that's not bad enough, I then get to repeat myself. I always end my order with "and that's it." Never fails, the next thing to come out of their mouths (after the whole bacon thing) is "will that be all?" Of course that's all, that's why I said it in the first place.
I have done their job before, I know it's not that difficult. The biggest part of what they do is LISTEN. But you can't seem to get anyone at the window that can listen or think. Instead they're a drone, just following the flow chart of what to say. Never mind that all of the questions they have been trained to ask have already been answered. Nope, instead I get to repeat myself.
And you can't call them on it. Because you don't know who is the prick that will spit all over your food in retaliation for making them look stupid. So if anyone reading this works in fast food, please for the love of God, freakin' listen! I'm begging you, help me out. Maybe, just maybe, (however doubtful) the concept will spread. And eventually some time before I die, I won't have to go through this when I order.
