everybody knows...that the world is full of stupid people
Actual occurences in life for me...
To set the scene, I work in a coffee shop/donut place, a Dunkin Donuts to be exact...I really screwed up because I demonstrated speed and efficiency with handling drive thru customers, now I am damned to drive thru hell.
I have people who come through and tell me that they want the following from other places:
crossanwiches (BK item)
Mochaccino (starbucks)
Mc anything-you-can-think-of
I never knew that "regular" coffee automatically meant "cream and sugar", not where I come from it doesn't
I have people who apparently don't know how the drive-thru works, they just bypass the speaker and drive right up to the window...one day I'd finally had it with the brain-dead idiots
B-D idiot: What? Was there a place to order back there? I didn't see anything at all.
(Not only is there a speaker with a highly visible "place order here" right on it, it's surrounded by a 6'x 8' menu board, no reason not to see it)
Me: You didn't see it?
B-D idiot: no, there's nothing there that I saw
Me: And they actually gave you a license?
I had some woman pull that bypass-the-speaker thing and pass it off as "well I'm from Iowa", I was like "Well, I'm from Omaha, Nebraska, been all over Iowa and they have drive-thru systems there that are pretty much the same as this one, have a nice day." The look on this woman's face was priceless, no wonder people out here think we're brain-dead redneck morons.
More lovely examples of idiocy from today-
"what's in a vanilla kreme donut?" (um, the words vanilla kreme don't describe it all for you.)
I have seven coupons here I want to use...(it says on each and every one of them "one coupon per visit")
One customer wanted 3 dozen donuts, wanted to pick out each one, in the drive-thru
I have to honestly say though, that for every stupid, moronic one that tries my patience, there's 10 wonderful individuals who love me because I know them, what they want, and so on, it's just some of them...whoa buddy, did they take your pointed stylus away from you because they feared you would injure yourself??
