Unfiltered Story #250361
(I go to a particular restaurant with golden arches, that has just made their breakfast menu available all day. It’s about half an hour past their old cut-off time, and I’m excited that I can still get breakfast there anyway.)
Me: I’d like [breakfast sandwich], please.
Cashier: We don’t have that right now.
Me: Oh–sorry, but I thought you served breakfast all day now…
Cashier: We do, but we don’t have that particular sandwich right now.
Me: Oh. Well, thank you! I’ll go somewhere else.
(Once back in my car, I find it odd that they’d stop selling just one sandwich after the old cut-off time…but our location is known for poor service, so I take it as a fluke. There’s a second location 10 minutes away, and I decide to try to get my sandwich there. Once I arrive:)
Me: I’d like [breakfast sandwich], please!
Cashier 2: We don’t have that available right now.
Me: But you have all-day breakfast, right?
Cashier 2: Yes, but we don’t have that sandwich now.
(At this point, I’m very confused, because the sandwich–which is still posted on the menu board–only consists of an English muffin, cheese, Canadian bacon, and egg white; and they’re clearly still offering other breakfast sandwiches that are very similar to the one I want.)
Me: Well, instead, could I get [similar breakfast sandwich] with no meat, and egg white instead of a regular egg?
Cashier 2: [speaking slowly to me as though I’m a clueless child]
Ma’am. We–do–NOT–serve–egg–whites–after–ten–thirty! [holding out his hands to gesture around the restaurant] We–do–not–have–any–HERE! I–can–NOT–make–them–for–you!
(I gave a curt “thank-you” and left. Why either of the two cashiers could not just begin with “I’m sorry, all-day breakfast doesn’t include sandwiches with egg whites” I still do not know…it wasn’t posted on the menu, either.)
