Same thing happened to me this morning, over here in Manahattan. I stopped at McDonald's for breakfast (which I rarely do), and wanted an egg, cheese and bacon bicuit, but wanted to substitute Canadian bacon for the standard kind. I had to explain to the Mexican girl behind the counter three times what I wanted, and how to put it together...and had to say each word s-l-o-wly as if I was giving directions to a total idiot. Her comprehension was that poor. And her attitude wasn't any better.

After she finally got that message, then she automatically bagged my breakfast to go, when I specifically previously said it was to stay. Lastly, the doofus charged me for a hash brown and had tossed it in the bag. I told her I did not order a hash brown, and wanted it taken out of the bag, and naturally wanted to be reimbursed for the extra charge. The girl talked in Spanish to her manager before her manager handed her a calculator. It turns out the doofus was so stupid she couldn't even figure out how much to reimburse me for the hash brown (she calculated about twenty-measly cents, which severely underpaid me, but at that point I didn't care anymore). This girl has been working there for months, so it wasn't like she was a new employee, by the way. After all that frustration, I didn't even feel like eating the lousy sandwich.

LOL! I KNOW the feeling.

We had a liquor store that sold here in this little village, populated by the wealthiest people in the county. The two brothers were Iranian, I think. When you would have your selections rung up, they would purposely short change you. For instance, if your purchase was $3.50, and you gave them a five, they would give you back a dollar bill and NO CHANGE! You could say, hey you owe me fifty cents, and they would chatter, "no no no, eet's juust a few pennies, eeets not much." And they WOULDN'T give you the fifty cents. They got away with it for about a year until the local boycott of the store caught up with them. They were going broke, and were forced to sell. It's now owned by a very sweet Hindi man who KNOWS how to treat customers.
