SPECIAL - STUPIDITY
S P E C I A L - S T U P I D I T Y
here's a special treat for y'all. the following is the actual Email
I sent to McDonalds this morning. The account is factual.
this occurred exactly as described. only the names
have been changed to protect Jack Shit.
THE EMAIL:
I went to get some coffee since I ran out yesterday, and couldn't get to the store because of work. I figured as long as I'm here, I'll get some food. I went to the drive thru, and both the lunch and breakfast menus are up. it's 6:30 am, but I want a quarterpounder w/cheese, something available at stores with the 24 hour menu. this is where the problem starts...
Order Taker: "can I take your order?"
Dr Chip: "do you have the 24 hour menu?"
OT: "what?"
DC: "do you have the 24 hour menu?"
15 second silence
DC: "does...this...McDonalds...have...the...24...hour...menu...?"
5 second silence
OT: "we're on breakfast now"
this is horrible.
1) this is a yes or no question.
2) I had to ask 3 times to get an answer
to a very simple yes or no question.
3) the retard taking the order apparently lives
under a rock, as he seemed completely clueless that
there are McDonalds stores with a 24 hour menu.
4) he answered a yes or no question with a statement,
one so stupid I couldn't even believe he said it...
OF COURSE YOU'RE ON BREAKFAST, IT'S 6:30 IN THE MORNING.
unbelievable. but wait, it gets worse.
DC: "alright, I'll take a number 7 meal and a large coffee."
OT "that'll be $4.37, please pull around."
get to the window, pay him (the order taker was wearing a white shirt and I think a tie, assumably the manager on duty),
and wait for the order.
out comes the large coffee. next comes the bag of food.
no comment from Mr Manager.
30 second wait. he starts packing a bag for another order.
as I'm watching him, he looks up and sees me watching
him, and gives me a look of utter stupidity.
Dr Chip: "I need the other coffee"
Mr Manager: "what?" (another "what?")
DC: "I ordered a number 7 and a large coffee.
where's the coffee that comes with the meal?"
MM: "I thought you wanted a large coffee WITH the meal"
DC: "no. that's why I ordered a number 7 AND a large coffee"
manager looks stupid for 5 seconds.
MM: "so, what do you want to do here?"
I left angry. this is unacceptable.
there it is, ladies & germs. the way my Sunday started.
the way my Big Blog ended up. see you next week.
