I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I WANT

if you'll kindly shut the fuck up. JT has a post up about a fast-food experience, and it reminded me of a peeve. I can't stand pulling up to a drive through and being solicited for a combo or other special before I can say a word. It immediately puts me in the position of having to say NO I DON'T before I can order. That's negative marketing. If I want a value meal or a combo I'll tell you. All you have to do is shut your pie hole and listen. DON'T put me in the position of having to answer your stupid question. Now, I may want that special. Then again, I may not. You are NOT going to persuade me to get that special. Why? Because my mind was already made up when I got to the speaker. I KNOW what I want. Don't try to TELL me what I want. And don't make me have to refuse it.

And I realize these people are just doing what they're told. It still pisses me off.

McDonald's dollar menu rocks baby. Pick and choose what you want in reasonable portions. Stuff your face if you want, for only $5. Awesome.

HEY - I'M WITH YOU - FIRST OF ALL, YOU CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY SAID ANYWAY - A COMBO MEAL DESCRIPTION OR TELLING YOU TO KISS YOUR OWN FOOT - A SIMPLE "HI, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'RE READY TO ORDER" WOULD BE MORE THAN A GOOD THING!
