Ordering A Number 2 At The Drive-Thru
I am cleaning up outside our fast food place. There is a long line of cars at the drive-thru. A woman gets out of her car with her little dog and lets it do its business right next to our outside seating area.
She locks eyes with me and then gets back in her car with her dog, leaving a steaming pile of doggie doo-doo right there without any attempt to put it in a sanitary bag and dispose of it in the special trash bin provided.
I grab a takeout paper bag used by our store and, using my special tools for just such occasions, I take her “leftovers” and place them in the bag.
She has just reached the drive-thru so her window is down. As she is ordering, I walk up to her car and hand over the bag.
Me: “Ma’am, you forgot this.”
Customer: “What is that?”
Me: “I believe you dropped it.”
The customer opens the bag and screams.
Customer: “You little c***! Get me your manager! I’m gonna get you fired!”
The manager comes over to the window and the customer complains.
Manager: “Ma’am, dog fouling carries a fine of $500. Would you like us to put it back where we found it and report your license plate to the police?”
The customer took the poop.
My manager told me not to do that again because what I did so close to customers and food was a big health no-no, but it was so worth it.
Not every bad drive-thru customer gets their comeuppance, but it’s amazing when it happens! Sadly, they’re not the only bad examples, as evidenced by these 13 MORE Crazy Stories About Drive-Thru Customers!
