"Hi, I'd like a double whopper with cheese...

[Warik]

... no pickles, no mayonaise, add bacon, and some medium fries please."

"Sorry, we're serving breakfast now."

"When do you start serving lunch?"

"10:30"

*looks at watch*

"It's 10:25."

"You can wait 5 minutes and we'll be glad to serve you."

"... or I can go to Subway. cya."

Mangy peons.

Mangy peons.

Condescending----those people work for a living just like you do..........

 

[Warik]

When my boss asks for something urgently, I don't say: "wait 5 minutes." I drop what I'm doing and I do it.

I'm disappointed, by the way. I was expecting some kind of leftist "respect the working class!" (As if no other "class" worked) response.

Are you truly making a change for the better?

[Milhouse]

What pisses me off is showing up at a Mcdonald's at 10;31 in the morning and asking for an egg Mcmuffin

Actual conversation between me and the drive thru girl 3 months ago;

Drive thru: Hi can I take your order

Milhouse: Yes I would like the Bacon and Egg Mcmuffin Combo and an extra Egg n Bacon Mcmuffin.

Drive thru: Sorry breakfast just ended at 10:30

Milhouse: But it's 1031 surely you must have some kind of Mcmuffins still there?

Drive Thru: No we are not allowed and breakfast ended at 1030, thats our policy

Milhouse: Excuse me but I have been stuck behind 3 other cars the past 5 minutes in line who took their sweet time trying to decide whether they wanted hash browns or the pancakes, that not fair. You should at least assume seeing my truck in line for the past 5 minutes that I want breakfast

Drive Thru: Sorry nothing I can do sir. Breakfast finishes at 10;30 and then we start serving the lunch menu.

Milhouse: Ok I understand that, but answer me this.Who the fuck in their right mind wants to eat a shitty big mac at 1030 in the morning? I am sure the kids are just lined up right now to get a fucking happy meal right now.

Drive Thru:Sir there is no need to talk like this.

Milhouse:Fair enough, but at the same time don't you think it's fucked that you can't get an egg mcmuffin one minute after breakfast ends when you have been waiting in line for 5 minutes?

Drive Thru: I agree with what you are saying sir, but I don't make up the rules.

MIlhouse: I know you don't make up the rules but if you did wouldn't you do something about this?

Drive Thru: I might sir, did you want anything? There is a lineup of cars behind you?

Milhouse: They can wait just like I did, fuck em. And then when they pull up and ask you what the problem was you can tell them.

DRive thru: Im sorry sir but I have to ask if you want anything because you are holdong up the line. You could come in and talk to my manager if you want. I am sure he can help you.

Milhouse: Nah thats ok, besides he won't be able to get me an egg mcmuffin so he won't really be helping me. Thanks anyways, I am gonna go over to Wendy;s and get a double burger. Have a good day.

DRive thru: You too sir,

 

[HappyScrappy]

mmm, jack.
that reminds me of in college it was all you could eat in the dining halls, but they had studen towrkers spooning out the crap for you. I was always ravenous after wlrkouts, so I'd ask for more. they told me that I could only have more if I left and came back.
I asked them how far away did I have to go to consititue leaving. they said the door.
so I'd walk to the door and then come back for more.
they apparently did see the humor in that as I did.

 

[supersizeme]

for real give these people a break. how would you like to deal with cocks coming through the drive thru all day? if i worked in a drive thru and 10:31am rolled around, i would be like you ain't no gettin no biscuit. take yourself to whataburger and get a sausage and egg taquito w/cheese cuz they serve breakfast till 11. you have to draw the line somewhere and they start serving people breakfast food at 10:32 or 10:33, people will continue to come back later and later and say "well last time you blah blah blah" and you have a big mess on your hands. i agree it sucks and i have been denied my eggwich many times because i was a couple minutes late but that's part of life. go to jack in the box and get an ultimate breakfast sandwich...they serve this shit all day and it is damn good if i remember what the thing tastes like. you have a heart attack halfway through the mofo.

 

[HappyScrappy]

you are plain insane if you get mad at these people prior to getting your food.
my friends in high school worked at these places and they were constantly adding... their own sauce to asshole's orders.
they weren't doing it to everyone, only the pricks.

be a prick and rest assured that you are getting extra calories.

 

[Warik]

You make a lot more jack than these people though.

And with good reason! =)

Millhouse, next time what you do is lock your doors, close the windows, and turn off your car for 5 minutes. 1 pissed off customer leads to 10 more. See how they like it.

This makes me want to go watch: "Falling Down." Remember the fast food scene? Michael Douglas rules.


-Warik

 

[HappyScrappy]

"Falling Down" was a great movie.
but I always chuckle at the name - it makes me thing of what a documentary on me when I'm drunk would be titled.

 

[WODIN]

Your more motivated warik, but you will learn to let shit like this slide with those who are not as motivated as you are. That or you'll go wacko like on of my coders...

 

[Gilbyag]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! lmao, these are funny...

 

[Milhouse]

First off I mentioned I was in line 5 minutes before breakfast ended so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Fallin Down was a great flick and I remember the movie Big Daddy where Adam Sandler went thru the same thing.

You would think Mcdonalds and all would get the message and have breakfast available till 11.

 

[Kryp2o]

"You can wait 5 minutes and we'll be glad to serve you."

-Warik

Ah . . . if you eat at subway, you'll be buff like Jarred in no time !!! hehehe

 

[Warik]

That or you'll go wacko like on of my coders...

I will never go wacko knowing that there is a hot, steaming, sexy, voluptuous computer at home with Tribes 2 and Klipsch Promedia speakers waiting for me to play and get slammed by the bass from a fusion mortar direct hit. AH!!!!!!!!!!

-Warik

 

[HappyScrappy]

Warik, when was the last time you laid?
I identify with you, so don't take this as me ripping on you.
I'm just curious after reading this thread.
getting laid really should be the answer to all of life's problems.
except STDs

 

[Night Fly]

I will never go wacko knowing that there is a hot, steaming, sexy, voluptuous computer at home with Tribes 2 and Klipsch Promedia speakers waiting for me to play and get slammed by the bass from a fusion mortar direct hit. AH!!!!!!!!!!

-Warik

I am REALLY starting to wonder about you, Warik.....lol

You would much rather play these games, then go out clubbing with me!

 

[RyanH]

Warik, what do you expecte, those workers are trying to make a "living wage" off of 5.00 an hour....Do you expect them to be overlyanxious to help you........

 

[§äñît¥ Pôí§ðñ]

yea i definitely thought of "falling down" when i read that, Warik

lol.......

 

[Warik]

You would much rather play these games, then go out clubbing with me!

It has nothing to do with you. Clubs have loud music and obnoxious little kiddies. If you want, you can come over and we can play Tribes 2. I'll pilot the bomber and you can be my tailgunner.

heh heh heh

-Warik

 

[HappyScrappy]

uhh, wouldn't you want to be her tailgunner?

 

[Jimsbbc]

yah, but one time i went through the taco bell window after i had ordered a large coke and she asked if i wanted hot sauce with that. Out of pure curiousity i said yes to see what she would do. She then handed me a bag full of nachos, burritos, and tacos + my drink. I was like what the fuck???? Ok. So I left. I guess they got the order mixed up, but they do that all the time.

 

[RyanH]

I'm still LAUGHING that you guys expect PERFECTION from workers who only make 5.00 an hour, at best, and who have to deal with the demands of ivy tower yuppies who call them names like "peons"

 

[Yellowbomber]

UUUUHHHHHH have to eat again

 

[Jimsbbc]

Ryan,


I think everyone here has had a shit job at one point in their life, and can relate

 

[WODIN]

I will never go wacko knowing that there is a hot, steaming, sexy, voluptuous computer at home with Tribes 2 and Klipsch Promedia speakers waiting for me to play and get slammed by the bass from a fusion mortar direct hit. AH!!!!!!!!!!

-Warik

Your half way there..... LOL!!!!

 

[Warik]

uhh, wouldn't you want to be her tailgunner?

No... I like to fly the plane and crash it into the enemy vehicle station. Are we talking about the same thing here??? Tribes 2, right?

(hehehhehehe)

-Warik

 

[HappyScrappy]

 

[Milhouse]

Ryan get off your fucking whiny moral high horse. Every single one of us here who busted the take out person's balls had a job like that at one point. It was dealing with these "put on the line questions" by hard ass customer which made us successful at what we do today. It's called working under pressure.

I personally have a right to ask questions and bust someones balls if I am buying something, and who gives a flying fuck whether they make $5 or $50 an hour.

A JOB IS A JOB NO MATTER WHAT THE PAY.

Aside from that your protecting the $5 an hour people is more insulting with your patronizing of the so called little people then me busting some girls balls.

She could and did take care of herself well and doesn't need your help. She will do just fine in life without your sympathy.Besides I gave her a 5 minute break from having to ask for the 1000th time "would you like to biggie size that?".

You should see what I do to the fast talking telephone soliciters when they call, if there gonna learn to sell properly they need to learn rejection, how to listen and not talk a million miles an hour. I give them an even harder time and the weak ones won't last and thats the way it should be.
I bust their balls just so they can learn what I did to get where I am, and that is how to handle all situations.

I can just see when you are in court as a lawyer and the minute someone throws you off gaurd you will be stamping your feet like a 5 year old.

 

[runner]

just out of curiosity, ryan, have YOU ever had a shit job like working at mcdonald's? i don't know much about you except that your daddy bought you a benz...but then you accuse warik of being in his (ivory) tower and i'm left wondering just how well YOU can identify with those downtrodden whose rights you so vehemently defend.

not a flame, just curious.

 

[Warik]

I'm still LAUGHING that you guys expect PERFECTION from workers who only make 5.00 an hour

I get paid $0.00/hr for living, and I strive for perfection everyday.

I get paid $0.00/hr for playing Tribes 2, and I am going to go perfectly crash my bomber into the enemy's densely populated vehicle station right now.

Cya.

-Warik

 

[MattTheSkywalker]

Runner,

I don;t know RyanH either, but what I am seeing is a guy that has no real problmes of his own so he looks to solve everyone else's.

Except he can't see clearly because he doesn't understand day-to-day problems. Never had them.

Ryan - nothing wrong with that. Just the way it looks.

 

[RyanH]

Most of my friends are lower to middle income, and are minorities, so I do have some understanding of what life is like for so many Americans. Also, I pay taxes, go to school, pay bills, pay insurance companies, just like so many of us do.

Simply because one comes from a privileged background doesn't mean he or she is incapable of understanding other's problems, now does it? George Bush is from a priviliged background doesn't he? Most of you would argue he understands problems he has absolutely no experience with. JFK was from a privileged background as his entire family does, and the Kennedy legacy of public service to all Americans is remarkable....

Faulty logic once again being applied.....

 

[Jimsbbc]

Ryan,


You never answered the question. Have you ever had a shit job that payed minimum wage for any length of time?

 

[RyanH]

Jimsbbc: I've been fortunate enough to have jobs while I was younger that paid well. NO, I have never worked fast food.

But why does the carrier of the message count---when its the message that really matters?

 

[RyanH]

And this post isn't about me------IT'S ABOUT WARIK'S dire TREATMENT of poor minimum wage workers........

 

[Jimsbbc]

Ryan,


I am not discrediting your view or opinion. I was just interested if you had worked in fast food, or something like that.

 

[RyanH]

Maybe I should trade in my benz and get a job at McDonald's------It would probably be good for us to live life on the other side at least at some point....

 

[Rotten]

I'm still LAUGHING that you guys expect PERFECTION from workers who only make 5.00 an hour, at best, and who have to deal with the demands of ivy tower yuppies who call them names like "peons"

I don't expect perfection, but I do expect them to do their job. That's what they get paid for(even if it's just $5/hr), and that's what they should do. I worked those jobs in HS myself and I gave 110% no matter what I was paid. Why? Cause that was my job.

I argued with the manager at McDonalds because their sign said something was on sale and they were charging full price. I told them that's what the sign said and the manager said I'll check it. I said OK I'll wait, and he told me that he didn't have time to check it now. I called and got the owners number and he sent me a voucher for a free meal. I wish I would have stayed there(god, why didn't I think of that?), but that wouldn't have solved anythng besides making me feel better and I wouldn't have gotten a free meal.

 

[HappyScrappy]

I tried to explain to the manager at a McDonald's once that the sign they had up showed that something was .01 cents and then obviously probably meant $.
he just said, no, we mean cents, you want to buy it.
so I told him I take a hundred and gave him a penny.
he then acted like I was the idiot.

I also like it when signs randomly have things in quotes. our dining halls at school used to have "pizza"

and the all time best was when I walked into a mcdonalds and the girl behind the registered yelled out to the back people "I'm supposed to be invisible!"
I told her if it made her feel better I could pretend I didn't see her.
she didn't seem to get it. but I watched her carefully and nothing extra was added to my meal... at least not by her.

 

[Frackal]

I'm still LAUGHING that you guys expect PERFECTION from workers who only make 5.00 an hour, at best, and who have to deal with the demands of ivy tower yuppies who call them names like "peons"

Hell yeah...I'll be working at KFC until I leave for college, and my favorite part about being there is fucking with some SUV driving, cellphone carrying, fat yuppie bitch...luckily my boss is cool about it and enjoys making fun of customers as much as I do.

And for the rest of you, listen up. We are paid to:

Serve you your food in a relatively timely manner.

That's it. Not to suck your dick, get you forks, fill up your pops, carry your shit out to your car, clean your motherfucking table. Most of the people that I work with other than the managers could give 2 shits about their jobs for good reason.

You're paying 3 bucks for a meal, you should feel lucky that it's correct and fresh. Other than that...

Not everything is a criticism Ryan. I'm not broke either.

 

[HappyScrappy]

wait - you aren't paid to suck my dick?!
