My boss and I went to Dunkin Donuts one morning to pick up donuts for the entire staff.

Boss-- "Hi, I need twelve dozen donuts."
guy-- "you need twelve dozen donuts?"
Boss--"yes, twelve dozen"
guy--"um, twelve is a dozen sir"
Me--"bwahahahahahahahahaha"
Boss--pissed off--" ok then, [censored], give me a dozen dozen donuts "

Same thing happened to me at Sonic.

I order a number 3 or whatever it was for $4.99 or whatever and the girl tells me total is like $6.17 and I'm like damn tax isn't that much...I'll ask her when she gets here.

So the little girl comes out and asks for my $6.17 and I'm like "The meal was only $4.99", as I point to it on the menu. She looks at the menu dumbfoundedly, then back at me and says nothing. "The charge is over six dollars...tax isn't that much...that's what I'm trying to say."

Again, silence as she holds my food. "See, it's $4.99" again I point. "That's how we ring it up." she says. "Huh?" "We ring it like that." "Like what?" "That's how the total comes out to." "No, it should be like $5.40 or so with tax." "That's how we ring it up." "The meal was five bucks, tax on that is like no more than 40 cents, not a dollar-eighteen." "We ring it up like that." "Like what?" "One piece at a time." "No, no, it's a combo meal...that is why you order combo's to save a little. Ringing it up separately defeats the whole purpose." "Thats how our manager told us to ring it up." "You're manager told you to do that?" I ask, in stunned exasperation. "Yeah." "Don't like 50 people a day order this combo? Do you charge them all this much?" "Yay I think so." "It's OK, don't worry about it." and boom that's the end of it.

Fortunately it wasn't my local sonic, but one in another town.

Dude, this is a pattern. The Sonic right in front of my apartment has been boycotted by me because the price of a #1 combo on the menu is $4.59, and they charge $4.69 every time. I have told at least 6 carhops and withheld their tips every time, and still no change. This is over a period of a year probably.

I find that the average number of errors in my order from fast food is about equal to an average sit down restaurant.

I also think most people have too high expectations of other people, and don't realize that they would probably fall short themselves if put in other's positions.

Also, the quality of a point of sale system seems to have a big effect (affect?) on the quality of service. There's a lot of functions that are poorly designed.

I don't see this a possibly being true, unless you always order the "regular" thing at a fast food restaurant and always order a "substitution" at a real restaurant.

Regardless, if this is so then you should be upset with the real restaurants (where you can reasonably assume decent service) and not upset with fast food restaurants (where you cannot reasonably assume decent service).

Also, you should specify if your "average sit down restaurant" is a glorified fast food restaurant like the Olive Garden.

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 also don't really see how this behavior will get me a loogey in my double decker supreme, but whatever.

I loved being a dick to people who were dicks to me...
Some would bitch because I didn't give them a $5 bill and my answer would always be "I'm sorry, I don't have enough to give out. If you want change, you can go to the customer service desk and they will do it for you."

[/ QUOTE ]

If you ever said that to me, I'd be all over you.

ME: Can I get a $5?

YOU: Sorry, I don't have enough to give out.

ME: What does that mean?

YOU: Sorry?

ME: You don't have "enough"? That means you have "some", right? At least one? If so, why are you saving it? For when a customer needs a $5 bill, right? Isn't that time NOW?

[/ QUOTE ]

Any manager will back you up on this. We are not a bank and you are always told to never give change. Most cashiers do it as a courtesy or because they don't know any better.

You could get over me all you want. You're just wasting energy and I have the last laugh.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, being a cashier is all about having the last laugh.

10 years ago the KFC in my town would charge extra for the drink when you ordered a meal. This is from fuzzy memory and paraphrased totally, but pretty close to an experience I had

Me: I'd like like a #3 with a biscuit and mashed potatoes and pepsi.
Cashier: (on the mic to the back) #3. (grabs empty soda cup from under counter) $8 please
Me: The sign says $5.99
Cashier: *sigs* The meal prices does not include a drink.
Me: Does the meal come with chicken?
Cashier: Yes...?
Me: Does the meal come with a biscuit and mashed potatos?
Cashier: Yes...?
Me: Then it comes with a drink too because that's what the picture right here shows, chicken, two sides, drink, $5.99.
Cashier: Our meals don't come with drinks, you have to get them seperate.
Me: Can I get a manager here please?
Manager: Sir, our meals don't come with a drink.
Me: What? I haven't even told you my problem yet. Does this come up a lot?
Manager: Your total is $8.
Me: Ok, how much is the chicken by itself?
Manager: (looks up at board) uhh, $3
Me: And two sides?
Manager: They're $.99 each
Me: Ok, great. $5, how much is a soda?
Manager: $2
Me: Ok, $3 for the chicken, $2 for the sides and $2 for the soda comes to $7. So give me that.
Manager: It's $8. When you order the chicken with two sides, it's our number 3 meal deal. It's $5.99 and the soda is $2.
Me: So when I order more stuff, I get charged an extra dollar for nothing?
Manager: *sigh* Those are our prices sir. $8 please.
Order comes up.
Me: Ok, I'll pay for the chicken first, then the sides, then the soda.
Manager: It's $8 sir.
Me: You're insane (turns around to leave and hears manager trowing food in trash)
