Today at Taco Bell I walked in and noticed a lot of people not eating... waiting with their receipt in hand indicated to me that there would be a bit of a wait but I ordered anyway. Just before I ordered they called a guy's order number and he kept asking "is this mine" while digging through the bags, pulling items out. They repeated his number but it was like the number didn't mean anything to him and he just kept taking inventory of the bag. They read off his rather large order and was like ok this is mine, out everything back in, took it and left. My order number was 43. After a few minutes they called "38" and then I realized why everyone was waiting. Oh man this is gonna be a while I thought to myself, but it went by fairly quick. It seemed as if the place was filling up as fast as they were calling orders. They finally announce "order 43" and I get up to get it and this toothless old lady who had just ordered her shit starts moving towards the pick up counter behind me shouting "Is it a 7 layer?" Now, here's where I'll give the other guy a pass on not knowing his order number, because he clearly had been waiting and was 98% sure it was his order but disregarded the order number process. This saggy tweaker lacked the foresight that most people have, that I described at the beginning of this. The foresight to look and realize that all these people aren't just hanging out at Taco Bell to enjoy the sweet aroma of rehydrated beans, they're all people who had already ordered their food several minutes before you leaned your stolen bike against the building to come in here. No you hag, it's not 'yer 7layer' Step the fuck of my shit, pay attention, don't throw away your receipt, take note of your number and sit the fuck down. The world Taco Bell doesn't revolve around you.
Update from the next morning.
So this morning at McDonalds... (yea I eat fast food, and yes I hate drive-thru's) a crusty old biker-tweaker type kept bitching and asking where his muffin was and that "he wanned it b'fore mah dang coffee gits cold" First of all your coffee is currently 10000 degrees and will not get cold for another 30 minutes, secondly and more importantly you were given a receipt with your order. That receipt has a number on it. They call out that number when your order is ready. There's also a big, bright TV screen in clear view that shows which orders are ready and which ones are still being made. Now when the lady asks you what your number is and you put up your arms and go "I unno?" like you've never been to a fast food restaurant in the last 20 years. Then when she asks "do you have your receipt?" you scoff and, with attitude, turn around, sift it out of the trash and hand it to her she then tells you that it's coming right up. Because there are other orders before yours, as you could see from the monitor right over your greasy head if you payed a-fucking-tention. Again assholes, don't throw away your fucking fast food receipt...there's important information on it that you'll need in a few minutes. There's not a crew of people back there making McMuffins just for you Randy.
I swear these two are a match made in heaven.
