George Carlin was incorrectly credited with the quote: "Your grandparents called working at fast food opportunity" or something like that. Either way, he was incorrectly credited with it.
That was then, this is now.
This morning, I go through the Mickey D's drive through because it's there and I have the munchies. I haven't eaten any of their food for a long time because it's basically crap. But I was hungry. It was there. You do the math.
I place my order, drive to the first window, the lady taking orders and money for the orders does her thing and I drive to the second window....
Ok, I work in a place where attention to detail is pretty important. And even my ex-coke head moron assistant can follow a basic line of orders. Apparently the twit working the second window was never blessed with such capacity. She got my drink wrong... and got my order wrong (it was a simple steak and egg bagel). And she got snarky with ME because I said it was wrong! I wasn't rude... I wasn't a j-o, I just said "that's not what I ordered."
Let me give you a guideline: If you are in your 50s and the ONLY job you can get is working the drive through at Mickey D's and you STILL screw it up and blame anyone but yourself, you REALLY don't need to act like the world owes a favor. In fact, do the world a favor and shoot yourself in the head.
I'm not lying when I say that SO many of the fast food joints around here are worked by disgruntled middle-aged people that feel that life has passed them by. Life passed them by because they refused to get the hell out of the fast food industry! I don't feel sorry for them! They just continue to plug away at a job they hate and look at you like YOU'RE the problem! Hey moron! If my ex-cokehead assistant can get a job in something other than flipping burgers, get off your lazy ass and get a better job! Don't look at me like it's MY fault that you're plugging away at some minimum wage crap! What the hell did you do with that degree you're paying off?!
Douche.
