A Rant

 Ok seriously people, when the hell did our world spin soooo far outta control? Hav..ing recently gone back into the service industry I noticed a trend in sobbery here to for untold by mortal man. Why do some yuppie assholes have to screw up even the simplest pleasure for the rest of us? Lord knows you can't just get a cup of coffee anymore, you have to have a half-calf, part skim, part soy, grande, no fat, carmel maccahido. The more qualifiers they put on the order A) The more chance to get it wrong. B) Once it is wrong - gives the bastards an excuse to unload on the  PERSON (key word here folks) behind the counter. C) Takes the entire attention of the server so no one else gets waited on. Is that the plan? They have to be the center of attention even if it's for just that short period of time?

  Now once they have their item come the and-a's. They can't give the whole order at once so now it's and-a stick of sugar, and-a candy cane, and-a bottle of this, and-a bit of that.....I'm sure you see my point here. Once again tying up the server with just them so no one else can be waited on.

  Well now this level of luniacy has crept into one of the simplest instutions in America...chicken wings. I remember when wings were simple the only choice you had was hot, mild, and how many you wanted. Not so any more. Now it's mix the hot and the garlic with som terraki on the side, now I want em extra extra crispy, all flats, then grilled but don't burn them. Then the and-a's started, and a blue cheese, and a celery, and-a some fries, and -a you're charging me for blue cheese then I want another one 'cause thione isn't full enough. <---This was an actual order from a Lincoln SUV driving soccer mom. This is just the one that came to mind first, but it seem everyone who walks through the door has a special need these days. 

   Get over it people - just eat some wings order all at once and relax. Always remember the guy/girl behind the counter is human too, and sometimes mistakes happen, this however is not an open invitation to dress him/her down like scolding a child. End of the day - the person your yelling at is holding YOUR FOOD. Think about it.
