How to behave at mcdonalds:
1. after i say “may i take your order?” in an ever so polite voice, do not proceed to sit there and say nothing, either because you forgot to roll your window down or are just too amazed at the choices on the dollar menu to speak. AT LEAST you can say, “just a sec” and i will patiently, well no. i will wait without yelling through the headset.
2. when you go through the drive through, and the unfortunate employee says “hold please,” HOLD. do not continue to order. i dont know how many customers i have had to raise my voice to becuase they do not understand what the word “hold” means.
3. do not order “a number 1 with a drink.” what kind of drink, stupid? this also applies to cookies and any other product where there is more than one choice for it, ie. a happy meal.
4. would you like to know why the drive thru line is so slow? yes, sometimes the workers are inside goofing off, but 8 times out of ten it is the customer’s fault. say you are in a slow drive thru line and have not gotten to the window to pay yet. there is absolutely no excuse why you shouldnt have your money out and ready when you do get to the window. and if you get just a double cheeseburger and we put it in a big bag, dont ask for a smaller bag. what, are you going to eat the bag too?
5. this one doesnt piss me off so much, im just listing it to inform people. if you see that the people in the back are not wearing gloves, it is actually more sanitary for them not to wear gloves. why? because when someone is wearing gloves, they feel that there is no need to wash their hands. so they proceed to sweep the floor, clean the grill, scratch their dandruff-infested scalps, and pick their noses. dont demand that they wear gloves, just politely ask them to wash their hands.
6. dont have your 2-year-old kid order through the drive-thru and then ask, “did you hear that?” yes, i heard it, and it sounded like he said, “ummmm may i have a giwaffe wif ten pies and some smokes?” what?
7. dont ask for free food because you are high and have the munchies. try going to a gas station and asking for free gas because “you only have half a tank left.” psh.
8. if you go through drive through, and the person asks you to park because youre fries are not ready, park the car. do not just sit there and give an evil stare to all of the workers inside the restaurant. im sooo sorry were taking up an extra three minutes out of your exciting life. suck it up.
9. dont beep your horn while youre waiting in the drive-thru line. we know its taking a long time. honking the horn will only piss us off and make us go slower and do stuff to your food.
10. when you come inside, dont sit your kids on the counter so they can mess with things and try to grab money out of the register. kids are cute, but thats just annoying.
well, i really needed to vent. i feel so much better. thank you for listening.
