I still like to see their expressions when they say the bill is $6.05 and I hand them $10.00, and then I hand them a nickel,you can see the wheels turning and the smoke comes out of their ears.

Confused

Who needs to wait around for Skynet to take over? The machines are already in charge, and people too dumb to think for themselves without one now.

I'm sure their systems are all computerized.  Cash drawer probably won't even open until rebooted/online.  And I'm sure they are not trained to think for themselves - a good manager would have just given you the food and appologized.

Thanks,

John

I went to Popeye's chicken resturant around 11:30 to pick up lunch. I ordered at the drive-thru, my total was $27 and change.

As I'm at the window ready to pay, the cashier repeats the total, but their computer system locks up and they can't run credit cards. My food is ready and in the bags. I just need to pay for it, take it and drive away.

So, I look in my wallet and I have exact amount in bills, and change down to the penny in my car. I tell them I have amount and repeat the total in cash.

I'm like, "Here's cash, give me my food, put it in the register when your system comes back online."

Nope, but I can pull up, park and when their system comes online in 30 minutes then I can have my food.

I told them I'm not paying for $27 dollars worth of chicken that is ready now but you'll give to me in 30 minutes.

Went next door to another restaurant and gave them my $27 for lunch.
