Dear Fast Food Drive-Thru Employee:
Yep. It’s me.
Again.
I understand that your job may, um, suck. I get it. You’d rather be anywhere but there…like the dentist, or Comic-Con, or your mom’s stale basement watching Dukes of Hazard reruns. However, you chose to have a job at a fast food restaurant instead.
At said restaurant, your job is to take my order, tap the corresponding picture button and then fulfill the order according to the screen.
That’s it.
I understand that you aren’t used to custom orders in a drive-thru, but all I ask for is extra ice in my Diet Coke.
EXTRA ICE.
PERIOD.
I’m not asking for 17 pieces in the cup, and then 22 pieces shaped in Nickelodeon characters in an extra cup on the side with a splash of lime. I’m just asking you to fill up the one cup with ice before putting the soda in it.
I request this at the beginning while placing my order. One of your cronies even types it in. I see it on the “verification” screen–there it is: XTRA ICE right under large Diet Coke. So, I’m unclear of your *attitude* when I pass the Diet Coke with three pieces of ice back through the window and ask for EXTRA ICE.
Just like I ordered.
AT THE BEGINNING.
If you need some inspiration on fulfilling custom orders, you might want to take it from this fast food employee:
Love,
Jackie
For Christmas last year…would you get me enough time to even ATTEMPT to be that creative?
PLEASE?!
Wow. Hold a girl’s Christmas presents hostage for 8 months and she goes public on your blog… :\
(PS-I’ll drive if you come up with a song about putting enough ice in the DC)
