“I’m so hungry, I could eat at Arby’s!”
My response to this may well have been “so are you’re heading across town now to beat your ex-wife again or just back home to terrorize your elderly mother?”
“Aaaah, just throw it over the fence and let Arby’s worry about it.”
Anybody else ever notice the Arby’s sign looks like a penis and testicles?
My beef …
You go up the counter, the clerk says “Can I help you?” then immediately turns and continues their conversation with another clerk. Sometimes I feel like reaching over the counter, grabbing them by the shoulders, shaking them, and exclaim “LOOK AT ME WHEN I AM TALKING TO YOU!!!”.
LOL 
Not sure what their sign looks like. But I think penis and testicles are the main ingredients of their pressed beef.

Yes, I know it is a hat.
If sly really wants to improve customer service, or the service of those particular stores, then he’s going about it the wrong way.
Dude, you need to ask to speak to the manager. If you get no satisfaction, then you speak to a higher up. If you do that, and write letters, you may get some free stuff.
But to just make a snippy comment and walk away plays into the hand of the poor customer service representative. They’ll jsut shrug, say “what an asshole” and remain unaware.
But the Falling Down comment WAS over the top.
Perhaps you should investigate the wonders of 19th century technology. Around here we have a fascinating device which we like to call the telephone. It allows one to speak to another who is located some distance away, thus obviating the need for many tiresome and pointless trips. One can conduct a conversation (and yea, even personal business) without being in the physical presence of one’s conversational partner.
I daresay you could have eaten the tasty roastbeef sandwiches you were provided and negotiated a partial refund, a full refund or mayhap even some free food by using this wonder of the late 1800’s. And you could have continued to watch your ballgame in peace and comfort. All without threatening physical violence to an underpaid roast beef lackey.
I shudder to think how you’d react to any real difficulties. How long have you worked for the postal service, anyhow?
OK, now tell me again Why I should feel bad that a BB gun wasn’t put into your hands that night…?
Because if you had that with you at the ARBYS, you’d have ended up a bloody splatter on their tiled floor & a bad headline on your local news.
Get that Anger Management help now…Before there’s a next time.

Dear Diary,
I was just working at Arby’s tonight when the strangest thing happened. I was training a new member of my staff, Sarah, to work the drive-through when this raving psycho came in babbling about not getting his club sandwich. We were suspicious that maybe he had received the sandwich, and was just trying to scam some free food off of us since people try that sort of thing from time to time, but since even despite our best efforts mistakes do eventually happen, we gave him the benefit of the doubt and returned his money. Then on the way out, he threatened us!!! for accidentally missing a sandwich (or so he claims!) by asking if we’d seen this movie where the main character terrorizes some poor fast food employees for not being able to give him breakfast after 10:30. I hadn’t seen the movie, but Sarah had, and when she overheard the comment she was rather paranoid and afraid of him coming back later that evening to threaten or frighten us more.
I really hate this job sometimes, but I know I have to keep working here because otherwise I’ll never finish getting through school. But crazy-ass customers like this, being unnecessarily hurtful and difficult really do make it hard sometimes. I know he’s just venting aggression from other parts of his life on some poor, faceless and nameless fast food workers (hell, we’re not people are we, we never make mistakes, we’re just robots)… but still. Sigh.
Until next time, diary…
Yours,
ManagerMissFuckFace
Hey sly, you ever heard the fucking phrase “you get more flies with honey than vinegar”? Lighten up before you give yourself hemorrhoids or something.
Having not seen “Falling Down” myself, I was particularly confused as to what made that girl stupid until someone more enlightened than myself informed us.
I suppose that I am a “fucking dimwit” as well because I happen to have never seen that particular film.
Very well. I suppose I will check myself into a home for people who have not seen “Falling Down” and thuly need help with our day-to-day activities, such as wiping our asses and not killing people. I must have made it this far in life due to pure luck! How fortunate I am to have people like you to tell me I am stupid for not knowing the plot of a movie. To think that, until today, I thought that stupidity consisted of something more substantial than not having seen “Falling Down!”
Off to make my macaroni necklaces!
Next time, check the bag before you leave Arby’s.
Just want to point out, you had a bad day, and you went out to do three things. None of them got done, and your pissed. Well you know what, its your own fault!
The video store, did you even wait to get a half decent responce? And even if you did, what you couldnt wait five minutes til the guy was finished? I mean if you stand infront of him long enough he will listen! Jesus a little patience wouldnt go astray!!
The store place, you were waiting for the guy to come back, fair enough its an awful inconvenience the guy should dream of taking a break never mind actually taking one while you need him, oh the shame! And so the Employee returns, and your not at the cash register or wherever you were supposed to be, what were they supposed to do? Wait for you and leave a line build up?! Call your name over the announcer?
“Attention Customers could the guy in the … shirt loooking for such and such please make there way to the register”?
Yea I can see that catching on… and instead of waiting until the guy ahead of you was done, you leave your basket and make some snide comment? I mean for gods sake there business isnt going to fold because they lost one customer, but youve gone away empty handed!!
And Arbys… so they forgot your sandwich, you couldnt just go:
“Hey listen I just ordered from here and you never included my club”
Instead you threaten the female manager?!!
You know its not the above thats wrong with Customer Service, its people like you that are wrong with Customer Service.
BTW, listen to your wife.
I thought this was a thread discussing that song done in a Stephen Hawking voice whose video features pneumatic young women using pneumatic power tools.
I’ll get my coat.
