Accept The Clock Or Clock In

I’m in the drive-thru at a very busy fast-food place. I am used to the wait, as it’s the only decent place in a large area.

The car ahead of me is ordering their food and starts to complain about the wait.

Customer: “Do you know how long we’ve been waiting?!”

The cashier smiles and wordlessly points to a sign on the window.

Customer: “Well… that’s… not good enough!”

Cashier: “$16.88, please!”

The customer taps their card on the machine and pulls forward to the pickup window. I pull up to pay for my order, and laugh when I see the sign that the cashier had pointed to:

Sign: “Don’t like the wait? Ask for an application and show us how it’s done!”
