I'm sorry to start out this like this, but last weekend I put in over 24 hours in less than 3 days. To make things worse, Arbys had coupons. So I need to let out some of my pet peeves and educate the masses about fast food etiquette.

1. You get what you pay for. You paid for fast food, not a five-star restaraunt. A man came up to me and complained that the fries I visibly burned myself on were not hot, because he wanted them cooked specifically for him and we had brought some up for everyone when eh walked in. He then rejected the chicken we gave him and wanted bigger fillets and refused to move out of my line until they were done cooking (5 minutes on chicken), thus holding up everyone else. I hate this.

2. I am a cashier, not a maid. I constantly see people dump crap all over the tables withotu a care and walk out. My personal favorite is when they set the trash ON TOP OF the trach can. It doesn't even require any movement to dump!

3. Don't let your two-year-old order for him/herself unless he is a genius baby who can speak coherently. I am busy and I don't want to get yelled at because I got your order wrong on account of I can't understand the tyke.

4. Don't order unless you know what you want. I hate it when people come up and stand there looking at the menu board and won't let the people behind them to go ahead. I also hate having to refund a whole order because you want onion petals with your combo instead of curly fries.

5. Always announce coupons first. Reringing up an entire order sucks, just so you can save 10 lousy cents on a turnover.

I'll think of more later, I'm sure.
