This morning I'd like to nominate a Guy and this is just today..lol.. I went to WhataBurger for a taquito and iced tea w/no sugar..paid after he told me to go to the first window..now here's the clicker after i paid, he told me to go to the next window.no DUH!..there was a car in front of me that I'm sure got the same message..lol..but the guy said back to me to move up.I looked at him and wondered where did he expect me to move up to..up to the sky?? So I got my meal and he hands me my iced tea and then asks "do I want sugar with it since I asked for no sugar"..well he got another look and I said "no thats why I asked for no sugar thank you".... So ok I never worked in one of these places but do they really train people to ask stupid questions or is it a Gift? Let us here your nominee story and whomever tells me the best, gets Best response!

hi rosekitty I have often gone to my favorite restaurant for breakfast and made it a point to let the waitresses know I was a diabetic. hence I did not want any powered sugar on my french toast and on my pancakes I wanted sugar free syrup. then I would again remind them when I ordered french toast that I was diabetic, but lo and behold my french toast came with a thick dusting of powdered sugar, again I had pancakes and asked with my order to please bring me sugar free syrup so what happened, right 'my order came with a big potof very sweet very sugary syrup. dont they remember for five minutes what the customer orders? And this is a place where I ate quite frequently too. and the waitresses mostly knew me by name so why do they tune out my requests?

Hatley..they tune out because the Manager hasn't trained them well to stop,think and listen.. Maybe next time bring your own syrup and say dry on the french toast..I was a great waitress and yes i'm bragging, but all my customers got special treatment and I made lots of tips..to be younger again just for that..lol.. huggs

Okay - at the moment, I'm drawing a blank on a nominee story to share. However, to answer your question - I personally think it's a gift - and it's frequently the "gifted" who get hired for those jobs of asking downright foolish questions,or making bazarre requests like - move up - when there's nowhere to "move up" to ! And yet - I often find such moments to be entertaining - for how dull would life be without them ?!

Hi Rosekitty, Right here goes, my daughter and her boyfriend got off the train and placed an order for a meal to bring home and ordered extra BBQ sachets as this is the only way my daughter will eat these chicken pieces and paid extra for them, when they wer given the meal they asked had the sauces been put in the box and they were told yes, they phoned me to say to pick them up and I drove down town to get them, we got home and went to start eating and guess what the sauce wasn't there so we phoned and were told that they were definitely put in and it like well where are they then. She won't eat without so I drove all the way back down there and the guy said well I put them in, I said well we haven't got them and I want them, you'll have to pay for more, I don't think so, so I asked to speak to the manager, the manager came out and I told her I wasn't happy and meanwhile our meal wa getting cold and she looked at a section and suddenly saw a bag with all these sauses and gave them to us, which were in the box of course, NOT. I said but by the time I drive back to the house the rest of the food would be cold, she said sorry but we don't have time to cook more but did give a credit note for another meal another day. I was that hungry I just accepted but boy was I annoyed. I said are you going to pay me for the extra diesel used too. Grrr. So we didn't enjoy this meal at all and other than my daughter collecting the free one for her mates haven't used the place since. Ellie :D

I have been a real idiot now Rosie. I sent an E mail today meant for one person to someone else. The e mail mentioned (not in a nasty way) the person that I sent the E mail to in error. Am I not an idiot now?!! I surely do feel like one.

I nominate myself Rosie. I woke up and rubbed my eyes. I rubbed something into my left eye and it's either still there or has scratched my eyeball. Either way it's sore! What an idiot!

I have a nominee. My neighbour, Gary. He borrowed his mother's car, brought his beagle with him, specifically against her instructions, and the beagle ate all the seatbelts. CHEWED CLEAN THROUGHH ALL OF THEM! Hows that? Do you think we can nominate him?

After reading about all of the non English speaking folks working fast food, I now know why I couldn't find a job--I spoke English (and quite well too!). Sadly the reason that Amercans like myself ARE so disillusioned today is because jobs here are being given to everyone else! Unfortunately I was forced to lie and 'dumb' myself down to get a job at Sears! No wonder our economy is in shambles!!

We have a guy at our Whataburger who knows who we are when I drive up and ask for an egg sandwich, add mustard. Then he knows what the rest of our order is, but some of them have been really dim!

This guy was maybe high but I have found that many are not very smart that work in these places. I mean with the low pay they are not getting the cream of the crop! xoxoxoxoxo

My idiot award today goes to myself! I had to repot my spider plant, it was in distress because the pot was too small. So I got out a pot I'd gotten on sale, a hanging one, and put the plant in, all happy with room to spread its roots out. Then after all that, I realize the the attached hanger part---has no hook!! So the poor thing is on a pedestal till it recovers enough to move to a different pot that does have a hook, of which I no longer have any!

I think the biggest Idiots are the one who think they can earn thousands of dollars in one day through internet without investing any money in the sites. Those people join in many sites thinking of earning money in big amounts in less time but everything takes time to grow and also to evolve.
