		<description>Just count up all the thousands of times you actually GOT what you ordered.  Then balance those thousands of good orders against this one where Jaq got a piece of unwanted tomato.  

Unless someone is mean, crude, or offensive, you are way off base in your judgement of this person.  "Yelling" at them (your words, not mine) is totally uncalled for.  You have no idea whether the order person was talking to three people at once, had someone tapping on their shoulder, or was trying tp pick money up from the floor.  

"You don’t need to read my blog. I personally don’t care if anyone does."  You have to be kidding.  You don't care?  That's why you post personal experiences on the web instead of in a notebook?

I want you to consider this next part carefully:  "Young People" work in fast food because the jobs are available and the work fits wheir schedule. SOME people work in fast food because that's the only thing they can do, sir!  Maybe they're not all as smart as you are...maybe they can't grasp all the fine points of Battlestar Galactica Season 2.  Maybe they don't have time to watch Battlestar Galactica Season 2 because they're too busy trying to make ends meet by pushing chicken out the window of a KFC to assholes like you.

I actually feel sorry for you.</description>

		<description>Hey, I have every respect for people who do jobs I don't want to do.  I actually think that people doing menial jobs should be paid more than those doing "attractive" jobs.  Because they are less popular, perhaps we should pay people more to do them.

As for who cleans my toilet?  Me.  Who cooks my food? (I don't do fast food very often) Me.  Or someone else, I PAY to do it.  Who washes my suits?  I don't wear suits.  I wash my clothes though.  Who works at the gas station?  I don't care, I don't drive.

My job doesn't mean everything to me.  I hate it.  I can't wait to get out of it.  But that doesn't mean I am trying to still do my best while I am there.  I deal with a wider range of people in my job than the average office worker.  I've worked in fast food, and service industries in the past.  I may do so again in the future.  I know that customers suck.  But some employees suck too.

I am nice to people &lt;em&gt;most&lt;/em&gt; of the time.  It is only when presented with incompetence, that I rile against the situation I am in.

And I'm sorry, I don't understand your point in the first reply.  I know I stink when I come out of the toilet... only slightly less than the toilet stinks when I leave it.</description>

		<description>Good day to all..

This is a quite funny blog but yet sustain any real purpose other than a reason to moan and groan.

I've been running/working in a QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) for 2 years.  I must say in defense of the workers who are there and have to put up with people like you have every reason to do what they do and here are my reasons why.

1)  You are the person who treats anyone below you (in your eyes) like 3rd class citizens.  You act like you are the only one coming out of a bathroom smelling like roses.  Maybe you should trade in your adult books and start back with "Everybody Poops".

2)  From my experience, the more the customer complains/yells at my co-workers it gives everyone a bad attitude.  The more you yell at them; wether you mean it or not; comes off as a put down.  I don't blame them for not wanting to deal with you.

3)  You are a jerk and here is why.  Have you ever said anything positive to drive-thru person?  They apologized to you, but did you ever apologize to him/her?  I'm sure you have never made a mistake in your life, but when other people do, you feel the need to exploit it?  Do you have an opinion of your own or do you feel you need to take advice from someone else's ideas and work?  People like you are scum in our society.  You feel since you make more than the KFC people; you are almighty and above the cardinal law of mankind.  

To close out....I'm going to let you in on something.  We are all people; no matter what we do or where we do it, you have no right no complain about what you get.  You are a reason why ignorance is a deadly virus in our society.  If everyone gets a degree and has a top of the line job working for a super company and doing super important things! Answer me this:  Who cleans your toilets?  Who cooks your fast food?  Who washes your suits?  Who works the gas station?  These people play a huge role in society day after day.  While your job may mean everything to you, it may not be more demanding or even less stressful then the workers at KFC.  People mess up and deserve a second chance.  I think you would agree with that in some certain aspect.  

You, sir....are a crybaby</description>

		<description>P.S. AARGH!

Did the Maccas thing tonight. Spent $30 odd bucks &#38; then hubby gets home MINUS two junior burgers &#38; a Sundae. He did the honourable thing (bless him) &#38; forwent his Big Mac, seething as he had a cold sausage on bread. What are you going to do - get back in the car and drive the 18 min return trip? Kind of defeats the purpose of "fast" food...</description>

		<description>Ouch! I say that's a bit mean. 

If it's any consolation I'm with you on the fast food frustration. I have 4 kids and we all have our various likes &#38; dislikes. If you put in a special order, you expect to get it that way, because that's what you pay for. My daughter won't touch ANY form of tomato, so if we get pizza we order a special one with no tomato base. The number of times the pizza has arrived, with tomato is ridiculous. We then have to wait up to an hour for another to be delivered.

And to all the w#nkers making mean comments:-
1. Don't come here if you don't enjoy it - there's no compultion
2. Most blogs are egocentric - it's the nature of the beast
3. Get your own blogs. It'd be interesting to see what pearls of wisdom you'd create ;-)</description>

		<description>I won't go through point by point (a big part of me wants to, but...) I just did want to comment on #2.  "They act first, and ask questions later."  

I think the saddest thing about our society is this - UK police do this, as in fact do the lcoal police, from time to time.  It also sounds like the philosophy the army wants people to live by.

As for Farenheit 541 - I love this book, and the film.  I remember seeing the film back when I was a kid, and reading the book soon after.  It wasn't until years after that I knew enough about history to understand the similarties between this and the nazi party.</description>

		<description>Touche, fair response, as to my reading and commenting i need something to keep me occupied. If you liked Brave New World read "Farenheit 451", dystopia where everyone is happy alla Brave New World, unlike 1984.

1) I don't have a site.

2) It's fast food, they can't afford to spend two seconds telling you that they've run out of boxes. They act first and ask questions later.

3) I like tomato too.

4) You need more than 40 minutes to spare to go to a proper "restaurant". Try at least 1 and a half hours for a fine dining experience.

5) Watching battlestar galatica means the evening turned out very bad and u have no faith in humanity u misanthrope.

6) This numbered response thing is cool.

7) Makes everything look ordered and systematic.

8) Like i actually consider what i sit down to write in response to ur eloquent rebuttle.

9) End all your posts with "Schinckel Out". It will add a touch of class and sophistication, like a good newsreader.

Good evening to you sir.</description>
