Anger with local fast food places...

I thought I'd bitch about bad service:

On 23 April 2007:

"Lunch: Quisnos for their equivlent of a "French Dip Samwhich", bag of chips and a drink ("Diet Coke"?). We took this back to Kathie's office and that is when I noticed they'd not put the "dip" in. I called them to complaign and was told "just come back for it". Let's see, that's 8 miles round trip and lunch would be very cold by the time I'd made the trip. I didn't bother..."

I'll give them another chance in a month or so and keep a close "eye out" to see if they provide the "au juice"...

On 24 April 2007:

My wife went to McDonald's and order the "Asian Salad". She got home and found that the almonds and the "Asian" dressing but it was their Southwest Club [or something like that] salad! She went back to McDonald's, gave the woman manager the "bad" salad and the woman there requested "one Asian Salad". The manager was then handed the wrong salad!

The manager when back to the food prep area, demaned "an Asian salad" and stood there until her minions finally were able to produce one! (I probably should not be so snotty about "the minions". After all, they probably do a great job with fries and 'bergers and it really isn't there fault that English isn't their native language. Still, if I worked in a Mexican place, I'd like to think that I'd learn enough Mexican Spainish to produce the ordered food...)

Moral of the stories: Know what you're supposed to be sold and then check to make sure you're actually given it. I was standing there when they didn't give me the "au juice" at Quinos. In my defense, I was distracted: the clerk didn't speak very good English and there was an attractive woman customer (late 20s) standing there with with a lovely amount of cleaveage showing...

My wife went through the drive through window and didn't want to take the time to actually check what she had been given. I don't normally check either but then I almost always go inside so that it would be natural for me to see the items as they are accumulated...
