A Whopper Of A Mistake

, | Right | March 18, 2015

(I work at a popular fast food chain which just so happens to be placed right next to a fairly popular burger place. Today I am working drive-thru for the first time when this happens.)

Me: “All right, take your time and order when you’re ready.”

Customer: “Okay, I’ll take a Whopper with no pickles.”

Me: “Um, we don’t have that.”

Customer: “That’s okay; I’ll just have a burger then.”

Me: “We don’t sell those either.”

Customer: “Then what do you have?”

Me: “We sell roast beef.”

(By this time the customer has realized something is amiss.)

Customer: “Where am I?”

Me: “You’re at [Store].”

Customer: “Oh, my god, I’m in the wrong place.”

(With that she takes off and I give her a friendly wave as she passes by. Needless to say everyone in the store is laughing as my manager comes to the front.)

Manager: “What happened?”

Me: “Customer was wanting [Burger Place] and came here by mistake.”

Manager: “That happens a lot. My favorite is when they come inside and still try to order from the wrong menu.”
