You’re goddamn right. That’s why such lame ass policies exist, because the corporate jack-offs that have never worked a single shift in any of the stores they’re making the rules for. That’s why I made it a personal policy of mine to never work in a corporate establishment when I was in customer service. Some of their “customer is always first” rules came dangerously close to offering sexual favors if the customers asked for them. :rolleyes: ---

In addition to that, were Microsoft™ the manufacturer, employees would press the chocolate button beneath the dark colored swirling semi-solid, and inexplicably receive a dispense of strawberry. They’re working on a patch for that problem. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fast-food/176549.md?page=3)
