Default Re: Dumbest cashier ever? (TR kinda-sorta)

I certainly don't expect cashiers to be rocket surgeons or even competent, but I don't really think it's too much to ask for no tomatoes, and then to send it back if it comes with tomatoes. Politely.

I agree that this is okay. But I think getting huffy and aggressive when someone at a <u>fast food restaurant</u> is just absurd. When you go to McDonald's or BK or whatever, the transaction you're participating in as follows:

- You will give meager amount of money to said business.
- Business will provide you with cheaply prepared food served by unskilled and unmotivated workers.

These are the terms of buying fast food. The degree to which the workers and lack skill or motivation can be stunning (as shown in this thread) but going into a fast food place expecting to pay minimal amounts but expecting to get service better than the typical fast food place is just unreasonable. If you absolutely need better than fast food service to not blow a gasket, then you should go somewhere else and pay for it.
