another rant about food

While I'm at it...

You know what I hate?
(and I'm aware that all restaurant employees hate me because I can't order anything the way it comes. they freaking put tomatoes on everything!)

Sometimes at Sonic (usually during happy hour) I get my drink with extra ice, because sometimes I bring a can of diet coke from home and when I finish the cup of coke I just pour in my can from home over the delicious Sonic ice. It's a weird problem I have, needing SO MUCH ICE in my cup, I admit, but it's how I roll.

Anyway, back to the rant. I hate it when the fast food people don't hear my requests because they are too busy rushing in with their own question. As I was asking for my extra ice, the girl spoke over me and asked if I wanted to make it a Route 44 instead of a large. I said no, my drink came with an alarmingly low amount of ice and I drove away peeved.

It's the same thing when I order a burger or something. As I'm asking them to hold the tomatoes, they are yelling over my voice at the drive-thru to see if I want to upsize my combo and to ask me what kind of drink I want.

JUST LET ME FINISH! STOP UPSELLING ME! I'LL TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF DRINK I WANT WHEN I'M READY!

Maybe all this means I should lay off the fast food.

even the girl at panera bread can make me feel like an idiot

Me: I'll have half of the bacon turkey bravo with no tomatoes.
Her: Do you want to change the bread? It's tomato basil?
Me: No, it's fine. Thanks.
Her: What kind of soup did you want?
Me: (sheepishly) Tomato.

it's a texture issue. i don't expect her to understand.
