Faith in Humanity

Yesterday I had the prime example of why I hate humanity…

Its not just that I hate babies… .*mumblesLittlepunkswon'tshutup…mumble*

No no… its cause when you work FastFood, you see people…. you see THEM, not the "Hi" and friendly version when you pass by each other for the only time ever… no no no.. its when they need you to get them something. THEN they show their true colors.

First car, old man, in drivethru. During transaction he asks "How am I doing", i say "Good, you?" he says "Doing alright".
Simple. I give him his food, we both say have a nice day. He drives off.
Yay, see, I like those kind of people… nice, but not trying to pry or talk your ear off.

2 cars later. Women… has a coupon. "4 Arby Melts for 5 dollars"
An Arby melt is 2 ounces of roast beef, with melted chedder cheese, on a sesame seed bun.
Well, total would be $5.58 after tax.
She gets to the window.
Her – "Oh, i'm sorry but I forgot to ask, can I have one of those arby melts on a chubatta roll?" (The bread we use for the subs… USUALLY would cost 50 cents extra since its a sizable change."
We decide sure, manager not gonna charge…
THEN, after we make it..
Her- "Oh, i'm sorry, but for the cheese on the one with the sub roll, can you put it on the side?"
… so we have to throw away the other one…
Ok. We make it! YAY..

THEN, she's like "Also, could I have a cup of that dipping sauce?"
Me – "The (Ah-Jew) *Idk how its spelled, thats just how its pronounced)
Her- Yeah..
Me- That would be 25 cents extra for that, is that ok?
Her – Well, last time i was here, they gave me just a little bit of it.

Now… here's the thing… if someone gave her it last time for free without manager's permission… thats wrong.
Also, we can't just give "A little"… its portioned cups… that we add water too. We have to add a specific amount, or its gonna come out all lumpy.

…. seeing as how we should have charged her for the change of bread (If she wanted an onion roll, wheat, sourdough, or even double-cut… thats free) and how she wants the dipping sauce.
We add in 50 cents… thats still 25 cents less then normal.

So, we do all that. We make it.
(I at this point think "Oh… she wants to make a French Dip with all this.." )
Then we hand her the food, and give her the recipt.
Then she notices the fact that the total is not $5.58 cause we added 50 cents for the changes… and the sauce…
So it was $6.08
THEN she starts going off thinking its cause the cheese is on the side, and this and that… mind you this is during LUNCH RUSH, so we had 5 cars behind her, and the drive-thru time was going up like crazy.
And she practically tosses the cup of cheese back through the window saying "I ain't paying no dang 50 cents just to put cheese in a god dang cup."
When we didn't charge for that.

So the manager pretty much says to himself "**** it" and we refund the 50 cents and yadda yadda…
And finally its done and she drives off.

….. this is what I hate humanity.
I mean, yeah… theres some nice people. But not really.
Not really..
