People who are standing directly in front of me in line at ____________ (insert fast-food joint name) for 10 minutes and then, when it's their turn to order...
The following is representative of an exchange that happened in front of me at Subway today:
Employee: "Hi. What can I get for you?"
Customer: "Ummmm. I'm not sure. Hold on."
15 seconds pass...
C: "Ummmm... What comes with such and such?"
E: (Explains to customer what menu right in front of her stupid ass says.)
C: "Ummmm.... Does it include ______?"
E: "Yes, ma'am. Just like it says on the menu."
C: "Yeah. I don't ummmm..... want that then. Ummmm.... I guess I'll have... Wait. What size comes with a drink?"
E: "All of the meal combos come with a drink."
C: "The meal combos? What's in the combo?"
E: "The combo includes chips and a drink."
C: "What kind of chips?"
E: "Any kind. Your choice."
C: "What kind do you have?"
E: (Very calm up to this point...let's go with a slight rolling of the eyes and points to the chip rack that is literally 5 feet in front of this moron's face.) "Here's our selection of chips."
C: "Ummmm..." (Finger to her lips like this is the most difficult decision she's made in her entire life. To be fair, judging by her cognitive skills, maybe it was.) "I'll have the bar-... No, I'll have the baked ones. Oh, wait. I'll have barbque."
E: "OK. What kind of sandwich do you want?"
C: "What size's do you got?"
E: "6 inch or foot-long."
C: "Can I get 2 6-inch sammwiches?"
E: "Yes. You can get whatever you want. Maybe you'd like to think about it for a minute while I help someone else?"
I flash the clerk a smile and a give her a "Thank you" nod.
C: "Ummmm.... OK. No, wait. I know what I want now. I'll have 2 6-inch BMTs."
E: "What kind of bread would you like those on?"
C: "What kind of bread do you got?"
E: Points to the bread menu literally 1 foot in front of this idiot's face.
C: "Ummm... I'll just have white. No... wheat."
E: "For both of them?"
C: "Yeah."
E: "Cheese?"
C: "Sure."
E: "OK...what kind?" (Employee is now getting the hang of this game.) "We have ...(lists cheese selections)."
C: "What kind goes best on that?"
Me: "Swiss. You should always get Swiss on a BMT."
C: "Really? OK....ummm...I'll have Swiss I guess."
E: "OK...Swiss on both of them." (Clerk looks at me funny and preps sandwiches)
E: "What do want on your first sandwich?"
C: "Ummm...they'll both be the same."
E: "OK...we'll just make it a foot long. It'll be cheaper that way."
C: "Oh, no. I can't eat a whole one. That's why I want 2 sammiches."
E: "I'll cut in half."
C: "That's OK. I'll just have 2 smaller ones."
E: "OK. Fine. What did you want on those?"
Einstein finally gets her veggies squared away.
E: "Will there be anything else?"
C: (Yells at someone across the store.)
Four young teens, 12 - 14, come running over and start the same process as mom.
After a little over 20 minutes this gaggle of idiots finally manages to pay for their meals, and surprisingly, found their way out of the store to their car without help.
I REALLY hate stupid people.
