Day = Complete

@tarheel0910 @Blue2010 you're both wrong, per usual.

Yes, they are trained/required to say "My pleasure" in lieu of "You're welcome." But they won't say it after everything you say. They won't say it after you say "hi" lol. They only say it when they'd ordinarily say "my pleasure."

It's just company policy. Some of you get upset over silly things.... (and this is ME saying this)

It's an insult to my intelligence, plain and simple.

To hell with it, I'm just being a dick for no reason. I like when employees are genuinely positive and act like they GAF...but there's a fine line between being genuine or condescending about it.
 
Well maybe not you specifically. Other customers though? Probably.

Here's the thing, and I know I'm weird about this, but I don't want employees at a fast food restaurant to be nice because I know it's 100% fake. You work fast food, so I know you hate your job. Cut the crap. McDonald's employees though, them SOB's are real. They don't say hey to me, they don't give AF how the hell I'm doing, they just hand me a bag of crap and let me go on. That's how it needs to be.
 
Yes they all say it. If @tarheel0910 was inferring they don't ever say "my pleasure" in Georgia, then he's mistaken. I think he may have meant they don't overexaggerate it like Blue was suggesting.
I honestly don't recall them saying "my pleasure." That being said, I don't pay attention to what they are saying. My main concern is if my order is right and to check the receipt to see if I won a free sandwich.

I wish I could find the short clip...if you have ever seen Foolish (one of the low budget, Master P movies from back in the day), Eddie Griffin did a stand up bit on McDonalds and why they call kid's meals "Happy Meals"...basically said something to the effect of "Why they call them Happy Meals...I mean, look at them, working for minimum wage and shit...what the **** is happy about today?"

Disagree. I'm providing them employment so a little gratitude would be nice. I'm not saying they have to be friendly, but a simple "please" and "thank you" go a long way. If they can't muster anything resembling actual human interaction then maybe they should find another job that doesn't require working with the public.

I went through Bojangles' drive through the other day. I pulled up to the menu, sat there for a minute, and then the woman on the headset said, "Take your order?" WTH? That's not even a complete sentence, for crying out loud. I got to the window and the only words she spoke were, "Five sixty-two" or whatever my total was. Bottom line is that the experience at CFA is considerably more pleasant. Considering I prefer their food as well, it means I rarely eat at Bojangles.

I NEVER mix. Nor do shots. Sip it neat or on the rocks is the ONLY way to enjoy a fine bourbon.
You're alright.

I did a shot of it once, because we were handing them out to some randoms who played a game of beer pong on top of Cardinal parking deck across from the UNC Hospital. It was good, but it wasn't as good as sipping.

I mean this is a good-spirited way...but if the ability were there to complete the full sentence, they'd have likely chosen a different employment opportunity.

(Lord, I apologize...)

Oh come on. It's not about ability, it's about attitude. I find that's usually set by the management at each individual franchise, but Chick-fil-A has a company-wide standard that differentiates them.

Meh...if you want a pleasant experience, go to a traditional sit-down restaurant where that's more expected. It's fast food. I don't care about the dude at the window I'm only going to spend five seconds of my day interacting with. Just cut the crap, complete the transaction, and let me go on my way.

This is precisely why you're not allowed out of the house.

You really think the managers care? Go back and watch Clerks. The managers are the worst offenders!
 
I definitely prefer my bourbon neat, but I have been known to have an airplane bottle or two of assorted varieties of borbourn accompany me into Kenan Stadium over the years and they make their way into a nice Coca Cola
Pro move. RH and myself do this as well. It hurts me that @toophly1124 has never been to a game in Kenan. That's gonna be remedied this fall.
