so i need to vent a little bit, so i've comprised a list out of my frustration:
things customers do that makes me wanna punch them in the face:
1. talk on their phones while i am trying to give them their food...just hang-up. seriously.
2. bring their dog with them and then proceed to let it lick my hand and stuff while i am holding their food...just leave the dog at home and whatever you do, don't share an ice cream cone with it- i wanna vomit everytime i see that.
3. hand me their garbage to throw away or better yet a whole bag full of stuff they've been getting together while waiting for their order....i am not a garbage lady. go clean out your car somewhere else.
4. wear moo-moos (is that how you spell that?) ...if you have to wear a moo-moo you shouldn't be eating at sonic.
5. order a super-sonic cheeseburger and chili cheese french fries and diet coke....again if you're trying lose weight just don't eat at sonic. ordering a diet drink really won't help you out all that much with all that other crap.
6. wear american flag print pants or have fake american flag painted nails.... i believe in patrioticism but their is a fine line between being patriotic and being white trash.
7. tell me to keep the change when it's only 4 cents or less.... this means either a) they think my service only deserves a 4 cent tip or b) they are too good for pennies but yet they think i am not. either one makes me angry. tip me decently or just not at all.
8. give me a credit card for an order that is less than $2....this requires a lot more walking than is really necessary.
9. pay me in all change for an order that is more than $5....i have to take all that change home with me. thats just not cool.
10. roll the window down 5 inches or less because they don't want their precious air conditioning to get out of the car. this means i have to turn things sideways to get it to the customer....just roll it all the way down dammit.
11. leave their car running when it's 105 degrees outside. this means my legs are practically on fire when standing next to a car.
12. let their children order because they think it's cute....it is not cute, it's simply annoying.
13. press the button before they are ready.....this defeats the whole point of having a button.
14. request a drink carrier for 3 or less drinks when i am already out at the car...anyone can hold 3 drinks while driving, besides most cars have at least 2 cup holders.
15.press the button and ask for ketchup after i leave when i just asked them while i was out there if they needed any and they said no.
16. tell me i messed up their order because they think i handed them an XLC when i really handed them a sonic-sized cheese tater tot.
17. honk at me to get my attention....a friendly excuse me miss would do just fine.
18. ask me which drinks are which, when it is blatantly obvious which one is which....you would have to be blind to not be able to tell the difference between a cherry slush and a coke.
19. comment on the weather.... i know it's really fucking hot, i don't need you to tell me it is.
20.ask me what happened to my eye...a) it is not my eye that is covered with a bandaid, it is my eyebrow, get it right. b) even if i had actually hurt my eyebrow somehow, it is none of your business, just don't ask.
21. hit on me when you have children in the backseat.
22. try to be the funny cool dad by making some stupid remark like, is this water really from the ocean?....it's not amusing. at all.
23. call the route 44, a route 66. call the foot long coney,a coney island.....read the menu board before you order.
...everyday that i work each of these things occur at least once. i have a really low tolerance for stupid people and for some reason sonic attracts all of them. i think my days there are numbered.
