That'd be great if people could picket ******* customers .

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I don't treat food-service workers like crap. I spent some time in college working in food service, and have a rough idea of what it can be like. Besides that, though, it's just plain wrong to be sh*tty toward someone who's done you no wrong.

I even go so far as to address them as "sir" and "ma'am" when they're in their official capacity. Maybe it's a silly idea, but I've always believed that if you treat folks with respect, they'll return the favor more often than not, regardless of their age or job occupation.

P.S. Oh, and Tiamat? Here's a for ya.

Have you ever spent time in the drive through line when some dumb ass is just sitting there looking at the menu forever? I have. Those people deserve to be ****ing tasered! That's why Tiamat had to go inside to order anyway.

Dude, I'm already standing on the ground. Worry about the rest.

I went in cause I had 15 minutes to get from one patient to the other and there was literally 8 cars in the drive through. So today I called the store where it happened and talked to the manager on duty and first ask for the corporate number and of course he wanted to know what was going on so I proceeded to tell him. Part way through the conversation he says...........wait for it.............................................."I've been having trouble with that particular employee off an on for some time now as well as the Manager that was on duty. They both have been on pretty thin ice in fact, the manager is on probation as we speak."

To which I said to him then possibly if you already having trouble with them you should relieve them and yourself of their trouble! Oh and he informed me that he didn't think it was appropriate for me to refer to said twit as a "sandwhich jockey." To which I said that I didn't think it was appropriate for his employee to refer to the people who are paying his rent, buying his groceries and putting the clothes on his back as stupid!!

I told him I'd been eating there since I was in high school and would never darken their door step again. Did he offer any free food to try to get me to come back, no! Did he do anything to try to win back my consumership, no the big giant twit! And to top it off I of course got no phone call from their corporate office which I left the complaint with. So it's just as I thought, they don't give a crap about the people who purchase their food so I am going to picket them tomorrow! TWITS!!! It's a matter of principle now, well it was before but it's worse now.

Do something zany (but harmless), Tiamat, and maybe you'll attract the attention of an AP photographer ... (whose photo will move nationally/internationally on the raw news wires, and I can use it to fill some space on one of my pages, and post it to our Web site).

Suggestions?

Wear a sandwich board. Heh. Get it? Sandwich!

Tiamat, I think a boycott would be more effective. If your the only one this fired up over this place, then you should probably just let it go and find someplace else to eat, but if you can find others, get them all to stop going there and right a letter to the company telling them you are doing so. If they are as bad as you say, you'll probably get your justice anyway as they are sure to go out of business.
