It's all wrong ...

Last friday I discovered why certain food chains use the phrase "Drive Thru." (can't give you the name in case I get sued.) It's because "Thru" means sit and wait in a f*cking queue for 20 mins, get to a window, order some food and then get told "that'll be a few minutes can you go and wait in bay 2 please"

What ??!!??

I wouldn't mind if I was orderering something slightly unusual like Hot deep fried Hippo B*llocks (I've tried them - not nice.) No - I was only orderering a, err, damn libel.... "Big Mick" [see how cunning I have been in disguising the name.]

So picture the scene and sympathise ...

Spotty gimp: "Good mawning. Ow are ya"
Me: "Hungry... and it's afternoon not morning"
Spotty Gimp "What can I getcha? What can I fetcha from the Retcha?"
Me: "Retcha ??"
Spotty Gimp "Yeah, couldn't think of anything to rhyme with restaurant"
Me: I'll have a Big mick please [done it again]
Spotty Gimp "Can I get you anything else?"
Me: "No just a Big Mick"
Spotty Gimp: "no I meant anything else instead of one of those."
Me: "NO .. just a Big Mick!
Spotty Gimp: Please can you go and park in bay 2 - that'll be just a few minutes

Genius. I wait for 5 minutes, he brings it over and I'm thinking "perhaps this is not going to be too bad. At least it'll be freshly cooked. Wrong !!!
Colder than a penguins arse. Words weren't enough. I just stared at him.

Spotty Gimp "Sorry about that. today's my last day. I'm off to be a supervisor at Asda"

Me: [Twitch]

Seems like Big Mick is loosing his touch - its not the first time I've heard he couldn't satisfy a customer. Anyway.....after much bitter experience I've found the only way to get good customer service is too complain like a whinging bitch
