I went down to Wendy's to get lunch. Went through the drive-through, ordered a Number Six Spicy Chicken Combo, Biggie Sized, with only cheese on the sandwich and Dr. Pepper for the drink. Upon asking for that, this is how things commenced.
Him: What do you want to drink with that?
Me: A Biggie Dr. Pepper.
Him
.K. And what would you like to drink with that.
Me: Um, a Biggie Dr. Pepper.
(Order screen has BGCoke pop up on it)
Me: I said a Biggie Dr. Pepper, not a Biggie Coke.
Him: Oh, sorry. (Screen changes to show Biggie DrP.) What would you like to drink with that?
Me: JUST THE BIGGIE DR. PEPPER.
Him: O.K. Will there be anything else?
Me: No, just what I have already ordered.
Him: I'm sorry, you want what else with your order?
Me: NOTHING. Just give me the total please.
(He gives me the total. It sounds a little bit low. I ask if he has taken into account the sales tax.)
Him: Yes, $5.95 is the total.
Me: You are positive? Normally it is a bit more, because they charge extra for the cheese, and I do not see the sales tax showing on the screen.
Him: $5.95 is your total, please pull around.
Me: O.K., if you are sure. It sounds low, though. (I wanted to make sure, as I was writing a check.)
Him: I'm sure.
(I pull around and give him the check for $5.95 at the first window. He takes it, looks at it, then waves me on to the second window. Then he shows up down at the second window.)
Him: I'm sorry sir, the total is $6.12, not $5.95.
Me: You told me it was $5. 95. You VERIFIED THIS AFTER I TOLD YOU IT SOUNDED LOW.
Him: I'm sorry sir, the total is $6.12. I can't give you your food without the extra fifteen cents. (Yes, he said fifteen cents, he could not even do basic math in his head.)
Me: Great. I have no cash on me whatsoever.
Him: You could write another check.
Me: Give me back my check.
Him: Huh?
Me: GIVE THE CHECK BACK TO ME.
Him: I don't think you can change it, you'll need to write a new one to add to it.
Me: YOU THINK I AM GOING TO WRITE YOU ANOTHER CHECK AFTER THIS? GIVE ME BACK THE CHECK AND KEEP YOUR DAMN FOOD!
(He was staring at me a bit slack-jawed, so I just reached over and grabbed it out of his hand and drove off and went to Taco Bell.)
Him: What do you want to drink with that?
Me: A Biggie Dr. Pepper.
