Also, do not order an item and expect me to know you want one for every member of your family without telling me. How should I know you have three kids and a husband stashed away? If you say you want 'a deluxe breakfast' then you get "A" deluxe breakfast, not 5, unless you specify a number. And then have the sense that when your total is less than $7 to know that your order ISN'T right and say something. Don't expect me to fix YOUR mixtake for free after the fact.
[can I have fries with that?]

I am allergic to american cheese and learned LONG ago to say WITHOUT CHEESE!!!! I can't tell you how much cheese I have scraped off of things! I have never been so frustrated as when McDonald's started serving sweetened tea north of the Mason Dixon. I HATE sweet tea. I learned IMMEDIATELY to ask for UNsweetened tea! I rarely eat any fast food anymore, but sometimes a small order of fries and a tea are what I need to get me through the afternoon. I felt like pouring the last glass of sweetened tea on the cash register

Chased a neighbor's cat off of the front steps today, and found a dead chipmunk on the second step, with its head WEDGED into the crack that it was trying to escape into. Apparently the cat grabbed it as it was diving in and broke its neck trying to pull it back out. I finally had to get a stick and force it over to the largest part of the crack before I could remove it. Stupid cat!

Mrscoach, I can't find it in my heart to have any sympathy for your plight. As a person who eats I can attest to the fact that most people who eat are a pain in the a-- when hungry.

I would last only long enough as it would take me to grab the mustard and squirt it in their face.

I was getting bike fuel too and the cap was off and a drunk staggered over with a cigarette in his mouth to have a look in my bike's tank. I encouraged him to move away from the fuel filling area! scary

Because they already know who they are going to place in that position. They have to go through the motions with unsuitable candidates in order to satisfy the "We did due diligence" requirement of recruitment.

I hear you! I feel your pain. Having run a cafe, I think I try so hard to be polite to the poor waiters etc. However, if they are being really stoopid I tend to be more harsh than normal!

I was the customer from heck this morning. I'm cranky, exhausted, sad, and car shopping. The debit card reader at McD was broken. Neither of us had the cash on us to pay. The nice Mexican ladies insisted that we take the coffee and cinnamon things, then kept being nice. By the time we ate, then went to the ATM and came back with cash, those sweet ladies had completely changed my bad attitude. So thank God for you hard working women who see someone in distress and feed us comfort food.

One of my bugbears too, as I always drink it black. If I had wanted a half a cup, I'd have asked for a half a cup .

Stay away from those evil places. Places we go, they bring you the cup and an insulated pot and if you want creme and sugar it is on the table.

Aw...mrscoach -

poohbear.. so did you find that employee mysteriously tied up with excess cord yet?

GeoffC - I know what you mean. I've learned to ask for it to be filled to the very top, when I order. I hate paying for a cup that is not filled up.

I also hate when cold drink cups are filled to the top with ice and then you only end up with a few sips of drink. **I know.. you can't please everyone.. my coworker likes it to be all ice. **
