What we have here is...

[Kaos]

I'm going to write a book of this stuff one day.  The following is a true story:


Had an early morning appointment today and left the house at 3:30 a.m.  Passed a fast-food place around 4:20 and decided to cut through the drivethrough to get me an early-morning start.  Pull to the speaker and order a steak and egg biscuit combo. 

Go to the window exchange dollars for a bag and a drink and pull out.   Before I leave the parking lot, I open the bag and find a bacon and egg biscuit instead.  Since noone is in line, I pull back through the drivethrough and get to the window.  Have to reach up and knock to get somebody's attention.

Woman comes to the window.  Large woman.  Wearing glasses.  Looks annoyed. She peers at me as I attempt to hand her the bag. 

"I ordered a steak and egg biscuit," I said, bag extended.

Her expression does not change and she makes no move to take the bag.  She just stands there with her arms folded. 

"So, what I'd like to do is exchange this for a steak and egg biscuit," I say, hoping to spur some response. 

Without changing expression, she replies.  "What we HAVE is bacon." 

I sat there dumbfounded, still holding the bag out the window. 

She continued to stare at me as if her explanation cleared everything up.  I slowly brought the bag back in and just drove away feeling foolish.

"What we have here is...failure to communicate."

 

That is hilarious...sounds like something that would happen to Saniflush...except that he would've thrown that bag back through the drive up window.

Sounds to me that actually what we have here is...

I don't know.  If that heifer was as large as I am picturing me thinks I might have just eaten the bacon as well.

Kaos tell us the name of the place.

[BLS]

Kaos tell us the name of the place.

I'm gonna guess a Hardees.

[Buzz Killington]

I'm gonna guess a Hardees.

She must have been too busy making those scratch biscuits to thaw out the steak.

[Pell City Tiger]

She must have been too busy making those scratch biscuits to thaw out the steak.

and there's no telling what or where she was scratching before she made the biscuits.

Good customer service in the fast food industry is a thing of the past. Even at the local Jacks, the last bastion of decency in Pell CIty, the help is getting very comfortable with the eye rolling and annoyed deep breathing.

My dream job is to be one of those corporate guys that go to their restaurants incognito to check the behavior of their employees. I'd fire every last one of these assholes. "HIT THE FUCKING CLOCK!"

I have limited expectations when I go to a fast food place, and that is not very often.  The people that work there tend to be not very bright, make $5 an hour and think we owe them something for eating there.  I try to always go in and order that eliminates some of the pain.

[Kaos]

I'm gonna guess a Hardees.

Yeah, sorry.  It was a Hardees. 

Same Hardees where I once had the following exchange at the drive-through.


Me:  I'd like a chicken biscuit. 

Hardee's Employee:  Mmmmm, ok.  Uhhhh. What do you want on that?

Me: Well.  Chicken?

HE:  Okay, so you want a chicken biscuit with no chicken? 

Me: No, I want a plain biscuit with chicken on it.

HE:  Okay. Ummmm. Sir? I have to charge you the same price as a chicken biscuit.

Me: Ok. No problem.

HE: So do  you want the plain biscuit?  And the chicken on the side?

Me:  No, it's okay if you open the biscuit up and put the chicken in it.

HE: Errrr.  Drive around.

[DnATL]

Yeah, sorry.  It was a Hardees. 

Rise-n-shine, motherfuckers!!

So you want a biscuit with chicken inside are you sure?
