mathematical genius' at Burger King

No, my story is better. This is so freakin' unbelievabel, but I had 3 people in the car to back me up if you need proof hehe.

Mind you this is 2 or 3 years ago -

I pulled up to the McDonald's on Pioneer Blvd in Artesia in the Drive-Thru. I ask for 3 of those Shamrock shakes that they had advertised during St Pat's day. They advertised them 2 for $0.99 so I figured the most 3 would cost would be $1.50 or so. The guy said $3.00. I placed my order again so I get another total and he said $3.00, so I said how much for 4 shakes, and he said $2.00 haha!!!

Wait, it gets better. I said why are 3 shakes costing more than 4, and he was silent. So I asked about 5 shakes and he said $3.00. I tried to convince him the shakes were $50 each and he seemed to agree with me. He had a hard time following my arguement of why 3 shakes and 5 shakes would cost the same ammount. Meanwhile my friends were laughing their asses off in my car and my sister was mad at me for making a scene.

So finally I order 8 shakes, and got them for $1.00. Hmm, good thing it's a started job.

Not to knock BK Employees, but I had a recent experience with one:

BK: Your total is $4.05
Leon: (gives him $5.00)
BK: (punches in $5 into register)
Leon: Wait, I think I have a dime. (gives him dime)
BK: (gives me a blank look). What am I going to do with this?
Leon: So you give me $1.05 back
BK: (stares some more...)
Leon: (I stare back)
BK: (thinks really hard...)
Leon: (twiddling thumbs)
BK: (gives me $1 back)
Leon: Ummm... okay... oh, forget about it. (leaves)

I mean, I don't care about the nickel, but geez... Can't you subtract????

Fuz · 07-09-2000, 07:57 AM

DUDE!!! You just got scammed by BK! It's all part of their master plan. First they will steal all the worlds nickels using BK employees and mutant ninja cows. Then once the US government creates more nickels and releases them to the public through standard banking channels BK will unleash all the nickels they have been storing and cause global financial chaos! This will allow them to populate the world with mutant ninja cows and rule the world with an iron hoof!

I just have to say I'll never ever go into that McDonald's again. The guy working the counter must've been a high schooler. I know he understands English; this guy was such a lame brain that he messed up two orders. And he called me stupid to my face. Give me a break *******. You forget to give me my change, and you mess up an order because your impatient with me. It's not like I'm a FOB with a bad accent!

FUZ, really though you need to get another job cause between the computer melting and gotapex you have way too much time on your hands.

hapoo · 07-10-2000, 01:22 AM

just cause i dont have anything better to do doesn't mean i can't tell other people what to do

AJ · 07-10-2000, 01:37 AM

hapoo - you are telling somebody he has too much time on his hands

If you make too much fun of fast food employees or give them a hard time, you might end up like those people described in news articles in the threads below:

OK, that's mad gross...although not way out there...Slim Shady refers to it, for god sakes. God, it would be great if the judge just ordered them to do something really horrendous, like eat food prepared by five randomly selected customers from that Burger King or something.

I feel for you, Leon. I gave a Duane Reade cashier a $10 bill for a roll of Life Savers once and got 35 cents back in change. After inquiring about the whereabouts of my $9, the cashier yelled at me telling me that "I was causing trouble from the start." The manager walked by, took the money tray to the back, counted it, came back, told the cashier that she was stupid, and gave me my money.

Leon · 07-13-2000, 09:13 PM

Whoa. I can't believe you were yelled at.

I wish I had a tape of that. Oh damn!

spigidygak · 07-14-2000, 12:52 AM

I got a good one too. I was at Del Taco and I ordered some grub. The total was like 4 something (/me have bad memory happened a couple years ago) so I gave the cashier a five. She then gave my change, which was a ten dollar bill and the correct amount of change.
