They get minimum wage for a reason........

[GlowinRedM]

Since I coin collect, I have alot of coins and I would want to see what would happen if I tried to pay with Kennedy half dollar, Eisenhower coin dollar, Suesen B. anthony silver dollar. Hehe

 

 

 

With people these days I would be afraid to.

Yeah making burgers badly really takes it out of you. Yet a normal Corner store which cooks you nice burgers, fish and chips managers to make it nicely. I don't know how they survive! :roll:

 

 

 

Seems like you've never worked in a fast food place. I like working at Timmy Hos, but when it's busy, you might not have a second to think for a hour. And that's in the middle of the day on a weekday. When I get home, I'm completely exhausted, and I haven't sat down the entire time. It's not the slackers job you think it is.

 

Ya, I'm a cook in a restaurant (not fast food, not mega fancy, but it's a faily nice sit-down pizza restaurant), and when it's dinner time, it's hell. No time to breathe, and if you make a mistake on a single pizza, you're screwed.

 

 

 

Eel, have you ever worked in fast food, or any kind of food service :-s ? It's not exactly proper to make assumptions about something you know little about.

 

 

 

Ya, I work for Wendy's, and let me tell you, the way we have been busy latly, i swear people just phone each other up and say "Hey lets go over to wendy's, i doubt there busy, call all your friends!". I swear it feels that way because we cant keep up half the time with our lineups now, and even with two cashiers, and two people helping, its still hard when you have a family order TO GO (seriously, we get the whole family come in and order, and then say they want it to go, so we waste time packing.)

 

 

 

 

 

I'm also gonna say, Ive seen some pretty stupid people come through before. I'll give you all a tip: Read the menu. Half the people dont. And I still get people asking me for McNuggets and Happy meals (I WORK AT WENDY'S).

[/hide]

 

 

 

my brother hates that too but he works at arby's and he says most of the people that like 80% of the people that come are fat that orders pretty much the meatiest thing to go so they hve to prepare that fast

 

 

 

Personally, i think the companies should stop giving options like doubles and triples. People are getting to obese and there are too many heart problems these days. If the fast food companies just stopped offering the extra stuff, then we wouldn't have this big of a problem.

 

 

 

 

 

@the guy who pays for a 5.25 meal with 11.25: I would just give you the dollar back and ten ring it in and give you the 5 dollars change. Seriously, count the amount im giving you. Also bugs me when a person comes in with a pocket full of change and has to pay using that change. Ive had a person give me 2$ in pennys! After that my boss said that more then 30 cents in pennys have to be given in a roll.

 

 

 

doubles are good but triples are way too much (im defending the big mac here \ )

[The Dark Lord]

I hate it when I pay someone with the new US $1 coins and then they look at you as if you didn't pay enough (They think the coins are quarters.)

 

 

 

Then I have to say "You know those are the new $1 coins, right?" After I say that, they will say "Oh..."

I should hand the McDonalds people an old (really old) quarter and tell them it is a new dollar.

I order a double/triple and am skinny as sin.

 

 

 

 

 

Point is if they didn't offer a double anymore people would just get 2 single burgers.

there is a difference between being stupid and being uneducated.

if its that old then it must be worth far more than a dollar fro its collectors value.

Doesn't matter if your skinny, the fat still builds up in your arteries. Some marathon runner dropped dead of cardiac arrest a while ago, and he ran marthons 365 days a year, but what he ate was all fast food and beer, which was fattening enoguh for him to clog up his arteries and die at 26....

[Moonshadow]

Wow, those are just really stupid. Especially the half dozen thing and the mother. She shouldn't even be allowed to have kids...

I hardly have fast food anymore so thats not really a problem for me.

 

 

 

My point still stands though, people will eat as much as they want to eat -- larger portions available or not.

[lordkrohn1626]

Krohn, do you live in the South?

 

 

 

Florida, currently living in Virginia because of my job.

[Infernalz]

i mean ive seen some stupid people... but woah... i know that most of them will be not be keeping their jobs, will end up dead scratching their heads wondering whha their boss fired them for... and i was gonna throw out some blonde jokes but i think what they did makes for a whole new line of jokes... i mean i knew i wassent the sharpest knife in the butchers block... but they make me seem soooo smart :-w

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and its minnium wage because, hey, do you really want to pay some one that dosent know that half a dozen McNuggets is 6 anything more than like 5 bucks an hour? if i ever see anyone doing that... i will die of laughter... almost did just hearing about it! :XD:

[remoteman]

 

FOUR I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."

 

 

 

alas, people have become to dependant on technology, and donlt realize that there are less high-tech, but equally (if not more ) effective ways to do things.

 

 

 

Stories about buttons on the actual TV, rather than the remote comes to mind, i know several people who didn't even know they existed, my best mates mum left the tele on the same channel for about 6 hours because she lost the remote lol...

 

 

 

Great stories, a good laugh haha.

[Kwisatz]

I work at a corporate helpdesk and people are pretty stupid.

 

 

 

One guy called up and said that he had a "blue rectangle" in his My Documents and that it appeared there by itself. It turned out to be the task pane, and he wanted it "gone because it just showed up there by itself" ... right.

 

 

 

A nice but rather clueless lady called up and said that she couldn't print to any printers. After checking to see that the printers she had were online and that she had an IP address she asked me "should I try restarting maybe? I haven't restarted this computer in... oh a few weeks." :wall: Sure enough that fixed it.

 

 

 

The same dude from my first story once called us up an hour before closing on the day before Independence Day (in America that's a pretty big patriotic celebration, and the office is closed that day) telling us that his electronic timesheet numbers had expired. We don't handle that so we transfer him to one lady who handles timesheet issues, but she isn't there so he calls us back. Unbenkowst to us he left a message on her machine. Getting fairly upset now, he asks for somebody else, so we transfer him to the other person. However by this time the first person we transferred him to put in a trouble ticket. When a user has a trouble ticket they get automatic emails regarding the status of their issue, and the first email they get when it is opened is that "the problem has been submitted successfully." Having had over 30 tickets in the past this moron has the audacity to email us and tell us that "I don't know what submitted means but my problem has not been solved," despite the fact that the ticket says for him to call the aforementioned woman he left a voicemail with to work out the problem. So one of my coworkers has to take 10 minutes of his utter BS about us being incompetent. This is all because his program manager or whomever didn't inform him of his numbers running out, not to mention the fact that it's Tuesday and he has to have his sheet complete FRIDAY! :roll:

 

 

 

One of my personal favorites: For background I'm 15 years old but I look 17-18. I was picking up a computer at 4:30 in the afternoon from an employee who had left the company. I'm in their office putting their stuff on a cart when presumably his supervisor walks in and asks what I'm doing there. I tell him that I'm picking up his old employee's asset, but this guy tells me that he was "never informed of such a major change." A ticket was put in under his name, so he received an automatic email informing him of the pickup. Not only this but he "wondered what a kid was doing here this late banging around." I effectively told him he could suck it and that if he had a problem he could talk to my manager (one of the most awesome people I know who'd stomp this moron if he had to). I tell the dude "have a nice evening!" with a menacingly sarcastic smile, walk back upstairs to my office, close the ticket and say "Asset retrieved." And just a week ago I was down in the dude's office doing some work for him and I ended up trying to not talk to him but he seems to have changed his tune quite nicely XD.

 

 

 

One other time a lady called me because she wanted her home machine fixed. Since the helpdesk (obviously) does not fix peoples' personal computers free of charge everybody else is kind enough to send contracted work my way. I work comparatively cheap to Best Buy and it's a win-win. One girl calls me up and says that she wants me to reload her computer, but her boyfriend "borrowed her modem" so that I might not be able to. I asked her what she meant, and she said "isn't that where you put CDs and such in?" She was nice and well meaning but relatively clueless as far as things go. However it turned out later that that same boyfriend had gotten it fixed for her. Oh well.

It really baffles me why a company of hundreds, possibly over a thousand of employees across upwards of 10 sites ends up hiring people that don't know how to use computers. These people develop or support people that develop fighter jets, tanks, shuttles, and life support systems, and they can't even manage a Dell desktop. This also requires us to maintain a training department. Agh. I could rant forever on how skewed corporate budgeting is but I don't think I shall.

I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve"

 

 

 

:lol: I love the american education system...

 

 

 

And I love the people who can't even locate Iraq (or even it's general direction) on a world map supporting the war because there are "terrorists over there". Fun world.

 

 

 

Sad thing those same people who can't sell half a dozen nuggets because they don't exist, are allowed to make a small difference by voting though. :-k As a result people die, it makes no sense.

[lordkafei]

It's not just minimum wagers...

 

 

 

I once was in a courthouse somewhere in the USA... they were talking on the phone to some poor tech support guy about the computer eating their floppies... I watched as this old fart slid a floppy disk into a crack between the two drives in his PC... "it just ate another one!"

 

 

 

I suppose the inside of the case would have eventually gotten full...
