This idiot stoner kid came in one day with his friends (He had a goofy look on his face. What else could it have been?) and ordered a double quarter pounder with one extra piece of meat and cheese. We couldn't do it because it would throw off our inventory. I don't really care, but I think we just saved a life that day by not allowing him to poison himself like that.

haha I hated my stint in the fastfood business--I worked at three different wendy's stores over a period of 5 months. I didn't like the first one after two weeks, cause everyone was speaking filipino, and I'm haole, not understanding a word of it. So, I transfer to a crew whose store didn't open yet, who does training at the highest grossing wendy's in the nation, which is 45 minutes from where I live. I liked that place and the drive better than the other two places, because once my regular store opened up, the managers were hell since we were understaffed and I was a reliable worker. I had to work shifts like 4-10:30 on a school night, 4 being the earliest I could get there after school band practice ended, and I'd end up staying awake until like 1 AM doing my calculus and other assignments on a routine basis until I had to quit due to an F on the midquarter in calculus in second quarter.

No kidding! Sometimes it just looks like someone peed in a cup, put some foamy stuff on it, and called it beer. Nasty stuff.

Hey! I take offense to that! :p

Seriously, there are some awesome beers made in America but it's all local brewing companies, I don't know if they are distributed worldwide. Do you guys have Sierra Nevada? Good stuff. I agree on the bud/miller/garbage, it probably tastes like what I peed out when I drank 20 good beers. :)

A friend of mine (who happens to be of mexican decent) related to me a story about going into a store for some Clamato juice (tomato juice with clam juice added) He couldn't find it, so he approached an employee and asked "do you have any clamato (prounounced kla-mah-to) juice" to which he recieved the response "I'm sorry, I don't speak spanish." He said it was all he could do to not bust out laughing!

Buddy of mine went to the states and stopped to get a coffee, only place close was a micky D's so he went in and asked for a medium double double. They were like "what?" so he repeated it a few times, another worker was like "I think he means a big mac", "No I mean a medium coffee, two cream two sugar" they say "That'll be $1.25 or whatever, buddy hands the guy a Toonie, they say "sorry we don't accept PESO'S", "Your sign says you accept canadian currency", "yeah", "this is a toonie"

Idiots.

When I worked at a music store, someone called and asked if we had any potatoes. I said no and that they must have the wrong number. My boss yelled at me, I guess potatoes are something percussive or something.

I once ordered a Half and Half at a bar and got just that, a large glass full of Half and Half. I had to explain to the bartender that a Half and Half is half guiness and half Bass Ale. He says that's a Black and Tan, I say no, a Black and Tan is half Guiness and half Harp Ale. Either way, shouldn't you stop and think to ask about it before pouring 16 ounces of creamer into a glass?

People are stupid everywhere.

OK I'm pulling rank here!! :D. An Irishman living in Dublin - home of the black stuff and the original Black and Tans. The drink "Black and Tan" in Dublin has always been half Guinness and half Smithwicks (ale). Harp isn't drunk that much in Dublin at all. I guess any ale and stout can be substituted for Guinness and Smithwicks, but it wouldn't quite taste the same as a Dublin "Black and Tan"!!

I remember I needed new strings for my fretless, and my dad had called round one evening and mentioned it to him. (For some reason he loves picking up my fretless and playing "Rudolf the Red Nosed Raindeer" on it and then puts it down - that's the extent of his musical capabilities). Anyway, I knew I wouldn't get a chance to go buy new sets of strings for a few days (I had none handy) so my dad nicely offered to go get me some such equipment for me as he was at a loose end.

He came back with strings that evening but he went into the store and asked for "a set of strings for a fretless". He got the "O-K. What guage do you want? And particular make or brand?". "No - it's ok. Once they're for a fretless". The shop assistant asked him to double check with whoever he was buying them for before making a decision. He called me, put me onto the shop assistant, I explained what I wanted, and strings appeared that evening!! he he. Never send someone on an errand unless they have half an idea what you're looking for.
