Water You Doing To Us
(I’m working the drive-thru on a slow night at a popular chicken restaurant. My coworkers and I are slacking off as everything is done and the manager has gone home for the night, leaving me in charge. A car pulls into the drive-thru when this happens:)
Me: “Thank you for choosing [Fast Food Place]; what can I get for you?”
Customer: “Yeah, let me get a [one-person-sized meal only totaling to $5].”
Me: “And your drink?”
Customer: “Actually, scratch that. Let me get a [meal totaling to about $15].”
Me: “Okay… No problem. What else for you?”
Customer: “Actually, scratch that. Let me get a [big meal ranging to about $20].”
Me: *literally banging my head against the wall as my coworker unpacks the previous meal choice and starts the new one* “No problem. Will that be all for today?”
Customer: “Scratch that. Let me get a large water. That’ll be it.”
Me: *pause* “Just pull up to the window.”
Coworker: “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!”
(A bunch of teenagers pulled up to the window and I handed them their water as they laughed, driving off. While we were shocked, it at least relieved the boredom.)
