I know it's not rocket science, it is fast food, but c'mon!!!
I seriously thought of issuing the first Fuck You of the blog to this one, and really should have, but don't have a decent graphic for it. Lazy me. Pah!
Coming home from work, stopped at Taco Bell near my house to pick up some food for the wife and I. I am already hungry, only having a peanut butter sandwich in 10 hours, so have that sick nauseating feeling going on because of lack of food.
Never order hungry.
Because it is like going to the grocery store hungry, you buy more than you expected.
And I did. But it is a good thing because I have it for lunch today, and wife has some for lunch today also.
Anyways, I order my food, all of it steak filled things like Chalupas, Taquitos, Grilled Chipolte Steak Burritos, ect.
Anyways, standing line for 5 minutes waiting for my food order to be completed when half way through it they tell me they can't do it all, THEY RAN OUT OF STEAK, and asked if I wanted to have beef or chicken instead. I told them no, I specifically ordered all steak cause I wanted all steak.
I was then told they could refund my order if I wanted to (I had paid by credit card). I said, no, it was on credit card, won't help me get the food I ordered.
They said it would take 15 minutes for more steak to be done up, and I told them I would wait.
Time on the original order was 6:30pm.
More people are coming in and ordering still, and I am sitting down waiting and watching. I did notice one girl seemed to be busting her ass on one side, while three other employees are working the other part of the line, when she calls out she could use some help on her side. She looked like she was a bit pissed; don't blame her.
They never heard of prep? No one seeing things get low and stocking things back up as they go? Have to wait till things run completely out before actually making some more?
Well, at 7:00pm, my order is finally ready (30 minutes later), and the girl that was a bit pissed on the side I was talking about brings out my order and apologizes for the wait, probably expecting me to be all pissy with her.
I am too nice of a guy at times.
I just smiled and said, that's ok, I can see you are really busy, it happens. No need to take it out on her because of someone elses screw up. It's like chewing out the waitress for the cook screwing up your food, it's not their fault and all you do is give them unwanted grief that isn't thier fault. It isn't fair to them and I won't do it.
Nice thing is, at least all my order was there. Can't say that for McDonalds. Last time I went through there, I ordered one cheeseburger, and two small fries, and they only gave me one small fry (drive through order). I mean how hard is it to screw up counting to three?
Oh yeah, that time I went to McDonalds? The fries were brown and stale.
I changed my mind.......
Here is to you, Taco Bell Prep and McDonalds.
FUCK YOU!
