We had one of “those” days this past Friday. We stopped by a Pei Wei restaurant for lunch,
ordered up and found a table. First,
those new-fangled soda machines that let you have 100 choices, only had the
same typical sodas available, the others “were out”. Why bother?
Then I ordered brown rice, got white, the Moose ordered his
with a spring roll, they didn’t bring.
They corrected their mistake, but no thanks to the girl working the
floor. She was a nincompoop.
Then since we’re heading to The Compound and the family is
coming out to help, we stopped by Dunkin to get a box of doughnuts for the
morning. Yes, they’ll get a bit dry, but
there isn’t anything around The Compound except McDonald’s. Why bother?
The Moose decided to order a soft serve cone, one of his favorite things
in the whole world is ice cream. The
machine was not working, unless you wanted ice cream soup. Then he opted just to have a one scoop
cone. The girl behind the counter put
less than one scoop on the cone, didn't fill the cone with anything, and
balanced a small half size scoop on top.
They charged 3 bucks for that thing!
We're tired, tired of dealing with nincompoops and their
antics. It seems it's this way with almost everything. The real funny thing is they don’t
even know they’re that stupid.
Izzy,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. It seems that people are just clueless. Don't get me started about the stupid drivers who think they are the only ones on the road. Doesn't bother them at all to inconvenience 20 other cars around them while they stop in the middle of the road trying to decide which way to go. It was a 3 lane very busy road at that.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees these things. Yes to the drivers on the road. I don't think I've driven anywhere in years, where I haven't either been cut off, or someone picked the wrong lane and instead of going to the next intersection and turning around, decides we can all slam on our brakes and wait for them to get over.
DeleteI know how you feel and it is so frustrating to spend money on something and only wish you hadn't. I can't even count the times we have thought about going out to dinner only to stay home because why spend $40 on something that I can make better?
ReplyDeleteWe too eat in most of the time, for that very reason. We've just had a busy couple of weeks, and needed a break. We'd have been better off going home and having a bowl of cereal instead!
DeleteCould it be, that all incentive to be better has no meaning for most, because we have forgotten to reward those that do try harder ?
ReplyDeleteWhere's my trophy for just getting up this morning? We can not continue to allow our kids to "tie" at t-ball and expect anything more from them. What a mad, mad world.
DeleteTotally agree, In the haste to reward all we have left out those that excel. Save the praise for actually going beyond the norm !
DeleteIt's chronic and pervasive in our society anymore.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, I just don't know how to fix it. They look at you like you have three heads when you tell them where they went wrong, or better yet; they send you a form letter via email.
