Food Fight

[Sensation]

Crappy day being around two friends that aggravated the shit out of me. Neither one of them drive and I promised one I would take her shopping. My back was aching and all I wanted to do was go home and lay down. I even got into it at a fast food drive thru because they forgot one of our orders after we waited in a long line for our food, Then he said he couldnt take money at that window and we had to come in to pay for the rest of the order so I threw the food back into his face, frenc fries and burger went flying everywhere . Me and my girlfriend were both on the same side about the situation, but my male friend saw me as being in the wrong instead of sticking up for me. Stupid bitch. He is always anti-me in situations like this a fuckin thorn in my side, its like he does contrary stuff just to get attention, and because he is a basic doormat and lets people run over him, he feels I should do the same. Pissed me off

considering it is not the fault of the fast food window person that your back is sore, not his fault that your friends suck, probably not his fault that you got into the wrong line (if he said "yes this window takes cash," then he fucked up, but corporate/franchise policies and bad signage are not the window-server's fault), and probably not his fault that one part of your order was missing (the average franchise splits the task of getting a burger from the freezer to your car between so many people, the error could have been made by any of several others), i don't think anyone should have taken your side in the matter. throwing food at people IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. you're depressed? fine. you're upset? fine. you do not have the right to throw food in someone's face because they didn't personally alter the fabric of reality on your behalf to eliminate your back pain. throw the goddamn food onto the pavement if you must make a scene in expressing your anger. ask to speak to a manager if you're able to count to ten, force a modicum of calm, and wish to express your dissatisfaction productively. DO. NOT. THROW. FOOD. AT STRANGERS. abusing the waitstaff says "i am a crazy bitch with the table manners of a nap-deprived three-year-old." speaking to the manager, requesting compensation, and communicating with individuals with actual clout shows you to be an assertive, reasonable adult who is unhappy with their service and wants them to fix the problem.

in short, physical assault, whether it be with your fist or a burger, IS NOT ACCEPTABLE in ANY adult situation unless YOU ARE BEING PHYSICALLY THREATENED. we all flip out from time to time, and i don't think you're a terrible person for losing control this time, but i cannot condone smacking some minimum-wage server because you are having a bad day.

if your friends are aggravating the shit out of you, at least take out your frustration on THEM, the cause, rather than Counter Man. if you don't want to deal with them, find some other way to prove you aren't a doormat by getting out of having to schlep them around. do not assault store and restaurant employees with foodstuffs.

Lol Sen that sucks that you had such a rotten day. I'm not laughing at you I'm picturing the food flying. Food servers are used to psychos and psychotic behaviors trust me(My nephews have stories believe me). It doesn't make it right what you did(that was funny but wrong) Everything was too much you triggered you snapped. Thank goodness the cops weren't called. So let this be a gentle reminder if your friends do something to aggravate you-take their asses home. If you don't feel well tell them you'll see them another time and stay home. If the foodserver messes up drive to the regular parking lot get out of the car and walk around the block let the offended friend (whose food was messed up) deal with the manager. Go kick a couch cushion throw eggs in the sink just to break them (think Humpty Dumpty) unless you really like eggs. Take your meds and take your prescribed pain pills for your back if necessary. The day is done- you get a shot at a better one tomorrow.

hang in there

Don't eat there again or you will end up eating someone else's pubic hair. Food service is underpaid. Most people work fast food because it's the only industry left that doesn't drug test. People who work at those places don't give a shit and don't take shit from people either. If you give them a hard time they will smile nicely and fill your order with bodily secretions. I know this because I've done it.

I threw it in the managers face,not the young cashier. because they clearly made the mistake and could have easily taken our money there instead of telling us to park and come inside after waiting in the drive through for so long.

At some other fast food place if they mess up the order your food is free.

Yes sephia I will take your advice and stp being a fucking cab for these lazybones

Being a former waitress, I must tell you to always be nice to those preparing your food. I have seen firsthand what some people actually WILL do to your food if you're an asshole.

My advice is never go back there to eat. Besides, you're supposed to be on a low carb, healthy diet so it's for the best.

i've never worked in the fast food industry, but i've worked in catering and been a waitress. one of my ex boyfriends, the nicest and most level-headed person on earth, admitted to doing gross things to people's food while working at subway, a place where you'd think it would be safe.

i've also had an experience throwing food at a fast food employee! she deserved it! she deserved a fight outside, and she's lucky we were in the airport or she would have gotten her ass kicked!

ok. this was pre-911, so before all the security stuff at airports. i was interning at the airport during college, so around '98 or so (i graduated in '00). i went to the hamburger place (which shall remain unnamed) at the airport and asked for a sandwhich without meat. that was too complex. i even told them they could charge me the regular rate, but it had to be made my way, and i didn't want meat (i'm a vegetarian). they couldn't handle this, and argued with me that their inventory would be off if they didn't give me meat. well, why not just throw it away, or adjust your inventory then? what's so hard about that? i'd never had a problem at any other of this particular restaurant with my no meat orders. well, this girl making the burgers got all up in my face about it, and was calling me stuff and really being a bitch to me. i just asked for her manager's name and number. then she served me my meatless burger. i opened it at the counter, and sure enough, there was spit in it. i threw it at her and she got hit with mayo everywhere! i told her that my way didn't include spit, and told everyone in line that this restaurant served spit in my food and not to go to it. pretty much everyone in the line left.

i did call the manager and never got a reply. i guess they valued my busienss. i never ate there again, obviously. i think the workers were on some kind of work-release program, at least that was the rumor.

that girl was apologizing and claiming there wasn't spit in my food. i told her that i'm psycho and don't care if i get arrested, that i'll jump over that counter and beat her ass if she dares to cross my path again.

of course, never heard a peep from her again. i saw her all the time in the airport, and she ran the other way when she saw me! i guess she understood me.

BTW - don't be mean to cashiers and then pay with anything OTHER THAN CASH.

Like a personal check that has your home phone number or your home address

on it.

Don't be shitty with customer service reps when they know where you live.

Just trust me on that shit.
