I mean obviously I believe what I am arguing, but I don't expect others to believe it's the one and only way. Simply to see another side. I always at least try to see another person's side. That's why I always preface with "I see what you're saying.."

Has anyone said that you should expect good service, regardless of the place. From Outback to Commanders, Red Lobster to Antoines, without customers these places go under.
Heres something ya'll can all relate to: So I went to a Sonic in Lafayette on Sunday night (no, not Mr. LSUBalls world famous one in Rayville). Ordered a foot long Coney island chile/cheese dog at the drive thru. Got home, opened the foot long box and guess what I found inside? 12 inches of fried tator tots with melted cheese. Ok, by now you are axxing yourself, "Did he bring it back". The answer is from the movie "A Few Good Men.... "you damn right I did". Cussed the place out, got 4 free deluxe hamburger coupons as a bribe to STFU. Will I ever go back again? Hell to the NO.
And I didn't call anyone a count!

It's things like that that make people hate working in the service/restaurant industry. Why couldn't you handle it like a civil adult? Go back, inform them that they messed up your order and ask for and extra order of tots or something since you had to make the drive back, then move on with your merry life. Some people act like an order being wrong is the end of the world.

Come on LL, how hard was it to look in the box designed for a foot long chile/cheese dog and see that it is cheese covered tator tots. You'd think they would have done that before handing me my order at the window. Fast food places and morons are akin to white on rice.
I hope you're joking.

I sure hope you didn't expect any different. Keep in mind it's a bunch of 16 year olds making your food in fast food restaurants.

I worked at Sonic when I was 16. In case all of you rude people forgot, 16 is still a child. At least I was still a child. Most employees at 16 have never dealt with the public in their life and don't have thick skin.
One time a man came and wanted us to fill his ice chest with Sonic ice. He was friendly enough and we did it. He was a scary-looking man with a braided ponytail down his back But he was nice.
So I go to get his credit card to ring up the order and he says he already gave it to me. I assure him no.. he did not give it to me, but I go look inside anyway. Obviously, it's not there because he didn't give it to me. He can't find it anywhere and instead of assuming he lost his card, he screams and yells at me and swears I stole his credit card.
I calmly tell him that I have no reason to steal his card .. because obviously he can call and cancel it as soon as it's stolen. Why would I steal something that he can cancel on the spot? And if I had for some stupid reason wanted to steal it, wouldn't I "pretend" to find it when he started flipping out? So he screams and curses me out.. 16 years old I am.
And he calls the cops on me. I'm crying hysterically because I've never dealt with a cop or anythign like this.. and this man seriously couldn't' own up to losing his card so he called the cops on a 16 year old girl at Sonic and said I stole his card.
They had to file a report and everything for it.
Here's the kicker, I called my dad when he said he called the cops and I got suspended for a week from work for calling my dad to come.

How hard is it for you to check your bag? They're 16 fricking year old kids and they're human. They don't deserve for you to make a scene cursing them out because they made a mistake.
If/when you have 16 year old daughters and they call you crying because some 40 year old man cursed them out, you see how you feel. There is no reason a grown man should be flipping out on these kids for a fricking mistake. Bring your food back, get the right thing, get your coupons, and leave it at that. Cursing isn't helping your service.

It aint the end of the world but when it happens 7 out of every 10 times, it sucks. I'm mad and I aint taking it anymore!

I had a really, really good Christmas bonus one year.
I found myself at Sonic (only because the wife wanted a Limeaid) with only $100 bills.
I didn't want to be a pain in the arse, so I let the girl keep the change from the hundred...
I figure that bought me a little karma, if nothing else.

I would have died
I remember one woman came and had no extra cash for a tip. She felt horrible and I assured her it's really not an issue. Well she came back an hour later and handed me a $20.
