Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Mom wanted Wendy's, and I told her that was a bad idea, but she made me do it anyway. Surprising nobody who lives here, they messed up the order completely, which made her angry. That is why I don't go there to begin with, they ALWAYS mess up the order.

The Burger King near one of the stores I work at has just straight up given up on everything to the degree that is it downright FASCINATING. Here's how my last visit went down...

So on my lunch break I head inside and no one is at the counter but I'm a patient person so I just stand there and wait. Eventually I see some people and we make eye contact but they they just disappear again. Still fine...I am patient. A lady comes in behind me and I noticed she has her food so I assumed drive in order that went wrong. After about 3 minutes she asks if I ordered yet in which I say "Not yet". At this point she steps in front of me and yells for service in the front.

So eventually a dude wonders up and is like "What is it?" and she says her order was done wrong as if they got someone elses order wrong. They say they will remake it but then the woman says they need to take care of me first because I've been waiting ( Very nice of her ). They take my order and the order of a 3rd person. The drive in lady leaves but comes back yet again before I get mine and they got it completely wrong again. Then the lady who was behind me also noticed her order was just missing items completely.

I finally get my order but my lunch is almost over so I just eat the fries to hold me over so I can have the burger later. There was really rude woman behind the register at one point and was not caring about anything even more so then the others. After the 3rd screw up from the Drive in lady she just asks for the manager...who happened to be the rude woman. She has them make the order again and then throws the bag at Drive in lady while saying "here you go" and walks off.

In the 20 minutes I was there they managed to get every order wrong. Hey I work in customer service...maybe it was the customers lying or something? Nah. They got mine wrong too. I just had to laugh at how obsurd the whole thing was.

I swear some places just want to go out of business and for people to lose their jobs. What they don't seem to understand is that other places nearby tend to take notice. Had our BK go under because of horrible service. None of the people who worked there could find a job within 30 miles if they put that BK down as a previous work location because of how infamous it got. Nobody wants to deal with service that bad.

Wendy's is nearly always good for me. Sometimes they might forget to hold the pickles, but otherwise it's fine.

Burger King, on the other hand, is a crapshoot every time.

If I buy a hamburger I usually get no toppings, or just lettuce and tomato if from Wendy's. Wendy's almost never gets it right, actually no place really gets it right around here. I don't eat out at fast food places too often though. Cheese is always the worst if they mess it up.

Saw a big ol' Saint Bernard running around the parking lot at my Lowe's today. Very friendly doggo, I think he was lost .

Me when I see pets in general, even around owners.

MWR had an anime night and showed the Dark Tournament From Yu Yu Hakusho and out of the 10-11-ish people that ended up staying the lowest rank was 1st class petty officer(enlisted) and LT. Cmdr(Officer). Lower ranks showed up but they were so put off by the brass that they quickly left. I don't know if I should laugh or be ashamed.....

Put off how? Were they just intimidated by the higher brass being there?

My guess is intimidated. We kinda went from serving food, to sitting down talking about anime with them. It might be a little weird when that super strict BMC wants to talk to you about how Botan is best girl period.

[RyuDragnier]

Yeah, I could see that being awkward. Also, he's dead wrong, Shizuru is best girl.

Indeed the correct choice.
