re: Rant- Billy’s Boudin in Scott

Kartchner's is better IMO, just go there

Nobody goes to Billy’s anymore, it’s too busy

frick Billy’s. I’ll never step foot in there again.

About 5 years ago I was going to a ball in Rayne from Lafayette. My sister asked me to bring a couple pounds of boudin for our table so I called Billy’s and placed an order for like 5 lbs. and told them I’d pick it up at around 6:30 pm because we were supposed to be in Rayne by 7:00. Woman at Billy’s says no problem.

So I show up at Billy’s at 6:30, and the fricking line is almost out the door. Must have been 20-30 people in line, and they’ve only got two registers open. Well there’s no way I can wait that long, so I walk up to the last register and politely tell the woman that I called in an order hours ago to pick up at 6:30. She asks my name and I tell her and she says, “Yeah, it’s ready, it’s back there on the counter. So I say, “Great, can you ring me up?” The bitch then says, “No, you have to wait in line.”
I’m trying to keep my cool and say, “Ma’am, I called in this order hours ago, and I have to be somewhere shortly and don’t have time to wait in line. What’s the point of calling in an order hours beforehand if I have to wait in line for half an hour when I get here?” Then she say like a smartass, “You can’t cut the line.”

That was it, I lost my shite. I called her a bitch and told her to stick that boudin up her fat arse and walked out and have never been back. And I tell everyone how shitty their service is. frick you Billy’s.

What kind of shitty place takes call-in orders and then makes you wait in line to check out?

This. Billy's is my go to, but when the line gets too long, I head to Best Stop (Or Nunus). It blows my mind when I see poeple waiting in a Billy's line that wraps around the inside of the store and makes it outside too. There are so many other options in that area, which I really don't find that big of a difference between my favorites.

Why didn’t you give her your credit card info. when you called in the order?

She didn’t ask for it.

I assumed that any decent business has a process to quickly take care of call-in orders. I was wrong.

Once again, frick Billy’s.

I absolutely hear where you're coming from, but I kind of have to side with them on this. Any place where I'm able to order ahead and then bypass a checkout line is only because I prepaid for my item.

If I call in an order at the deli counter, I still have to wait in line at the checkout to pay for my order. I've just saved time by not having to wait there while they prep my order.
