Title: As you guys know...
Post by: -gg- on September 23, 2022, 10:06:51 AM
I am highly intelligent, likable and extremely talented. I also have a lot of compassion for people.

But today was almost too much for me. I went to McDonald's and ordered a sausage McMuffin combination. As I was leaving I pulled into the bag and all of the contents were out of their containers just lying in the bag.

To top it all off, the sausage egg McMuffin turn out to be a ham McMuffin. I cannot stand ham. I wouldn't feed ham to my dead dog.

So I peeled the ham off of the sandwich and struggled through eating it. Even a little bit of the ham taste was still there and almost made me gag.

But today's Friday and the weekend is upon us. I'm going to use my extreme talents this weekend.

How's your Friday going?

I always look inside the bag as it's given to me. every once in a while I find a missing item and point it out.

btw don't you know that hamburgers is the cornerstone of every nutritious breakfast.

For real...I take a quick peek, if items are there, drive away. If they aren't, run inside quick and have them sort it out. Should not be difficult for any adult to do.

that's the biggest lie right there. students had to go to school  and you had to get a work permit and c average. no permit no work. and you couldn't work during school hours. and during the school week you were limited to 4 hours and couldn't work past 8 pm. weekend you could do 8 and up to 10 if over 16. you had to stop at 10 Sundays at 8. and you could only work 5 days a week.

but I never saw any fast food closed in the mornings because students couldn't work.

Not a lie at all.  Same with grocery baggers.  These are entry level jobs, not meant to be career positions.  The only reason I could see anyone much older than a teenager working one would be because it is a second job that fits their schedule, or possibly because of a disability.  There are far too many jobs paying much more and require little to no experience.

You tell me.  There are $20.+ /hr. start jobs everywhere for the unskilled, yet you see 20 and 30 somethings everywhere settling for the type jobs mentioned above.  One guess would be motivation.  When mom still washes your clothes, a 40 hr. work week becomes less of a priority.

I watched a 20 something at a register in the gas station unable to do simple math like calculate change from a dollar. He had to use his fingers and still couldnt figure it out because he messed up when trying to calculate the total of the purchase on the register. Had to use a calculator to do it for him.

Fast food places (and pizza chains too for that matter) have gone to crap in the last 20 years.  I mean they were never fantastic, don't get me wrong, but in the last 20 years armies of Harvard MBAs came in and cheaped out on everything.   Wendys is prime example... they used to have good burgers circa late 90s, now they're horrific.

Pizza Hut is another example - remember when they had good pan pizzas that came out in a big black metal pan ?   

Anyways, like anything else, it's always a race to the bottom.

As a retail manager... I instruct ALL newbies to NOT fall for the "THEY CAN'T COUNT CHANGE!!1!" scam.  We don't pay them to do math. We pay them to put the correct sku into the cash register, input the correct payment methods/quantity, and give the change that the computer tells them to give. Oh.. And, up sell.  While you're finding around trying to make the cannot look silly, your buddy is stuffing the candy track into their backpack.  Dealing with the public is difficult enough.  Why would you want to make a crappy job even crappier??

Ham is pork. Evidently you do not like it smoked. Back when I was in the meat business, I can't tell you how many times I had women complain about a fresh ham tasting like plain porn. Well.... that is exactly what it is. They associate the smoke flavor with ham. LOL

As for giving back change, you start by giving change starting with $.01, then $.05, then $.10, then $.25, then $1.00, the $5.00, or even $10.00 and $20.00 to the cost of the item til it adds up to what the customer gave you.
