I Don't Make the Prices.

Fact: I don't make the prices.

Another fact: I don't really care if you end up buying this food or not.

Example:

A woman comes through drive thru yesterday while I'm in back booth alone and asks for a Vanilla Ice Cream Cone, which at our store is 1.29. I tell her the total, and she goes "no no, the vanilla cone is 1.08." now, I'm standing there staring at my screen that clearly says vanilla cone, 1.29 and I suddenly think "Great. Now she's going to argue about the price."

And true to my predictions, she sits at that window and tries to correct me on the price. She's saying stuff like "dear, the price is 1.08. I was at McDonalds last night." now I'm getting really annoyed. I absolutely hate when adults call me dear. If you don't want to pay the extra 21 cents for your damn vanilla cone, I don't care, just don't call me dear while your at it.

The woman keeps insisting that it's 1.08, and my other coworkers with headsets on that are listening in are all rolling their eyes with me, and all I keep saying is, "Ma'am. The Vanilla Cone is 1.29, not 1.08. I'm sorry."

Finally this woman pulls up to my window and goes "I was just at McDonald's last night, how come they only charged me 1.08 then?" I finally ask the woman if she came to our McDonald's last night, and she goes "no! No I most certainly did not!" and I said "that's why, because different locations can charge what they want within a certain range depending on the demand in the area." well didnt that just blow her mind.

All in all, the woman spent like 10 minutes holding up the line over 21 cents. Had it been anything over 75 cents, I probably would've understood where she was coming from. Money is money, but come on guys, we're talking about 21 cents.

Fact: you can come to McDonalds, or you could drive away and choose to spend your money elsewhere. I really do not care whatsoever.

Fact: Arguing over 21 cents with an 18 year old who has been standing in that window for 5 hours isn't a good idea.

Fact: no amount of haggling will make me give you your ice cream for 21 cents less. Nice try, lady.

People be crazy. I think there's a full moon out, or something.
