Well, it USED to be a pretty decent KFC with generally friendly, fast and efficient staff... Until, that is, the rude and obnoxious biddy from hell, SUSY-Q, was mistakenly granted her learner's license to manage!
Now don't take me wrong, I've been a regular customer there for roughly TWO years (so this staff KNOWS me, often addressing me by FIRST NAME), spending in recent months around $125 mostly on coupon meals, sometimes saving my large cup for easy refills without wasted Styrofoam.By habit I'll buy a fresh meal, bring my cup, present it to the cashier for charge. MOST staff there freely CHOOSE either NOT to charge me at all or else charge me a TOKEN cost (like. 25 cents) for such refills.
On my latest trip I paid for a $5 3-piece meal and an additional $2.99 for a Mega Jug, which I mistakenly ordered thinking it was the regular large plastic cup. When the girl handed me the mega jug bucket I told her I'd take it but really didn't want to drink that much soda, asking for the next smallest cup (the large) instead, which she gave me; I told her I'd RETURN sometime soon to fill the mega jug (which I did NOT), taking out a large soda instead. I did this OUT OF CONSIDERATION FOR THE
KID SO SHE WOULDN'T HAVE TO CANCEL THE ORDER AND RE-RING IT! She appreciated that FAVOR!
So in a couple days I go back, finding a line of customers whilst I'm considering my next $10 7-piece coupon purchase, and started refilling my large plastic cup with soda, thinking I'll remind the cashier I'm actually owed a MEGA JUG refill.
When out of the blue the biddy from hell, SUSY-Q, accosts me from behind and starts Sir-ing me with her
uppity, accusatory tone, not even bothering to ask my true intent.
'Sir, ' she cracks loudly for all to hear, 'you have to PAY for that soda!'
As if she's automatically assumed that I'm trying to steal it, implying I'm a soda thief by LIBELING ME IN PUBLIC. Watch it, KFC, you're itching for a nice neat little lawsuit.
'I know, ' I say.
'Just so you know, ' she cracks further in her typically smart-alecky tone. She THINKS she's real clever with the quick comeback. We'll see how clever she is when some regional manager shows up to give her a lesson in good manners or FIRE her smart-ass from the job!
Promptly I explain the entire Mega Jug thing ('Since we're splitting hairs here, I say), even pointing out the girl cashier who I bought and PAID FOR IT from; she was sweeping in front of SUSY-Q, biddy from hell.
'Bring in your mega jug then!' she cracks further still with her scoffing, smart-alecky tone.
Now THAT makes a whole lotta sense doesn't it? I'm already SHORT-CHANGING my refill by using a regular large
cup and SUSY-Q thinks I should run home and return with my mega jug! Rather RETARDED!
'You know, ' I finally tell her, 'since I'm a regular customer here you could cut me a little slack on
this.'
Then SUSY-Q biddy launches into her public lecture series:
'If we did that for everybody we'd go out of business, ' STILL in her curt, smart-alecky tone.
'You know what?' I tell her, 'KEEP your soda.'
I left it there and walked!
You know what else? In hard economic times businesses go out of business by piss-poor hiring practices and managers making lame-ass public remarks emphasizing what LOSERS they are for being ignorant punk-FLUNKYS trying to grand-stand and exhibit their non-existent intelligence.
To upper KFC management: It's the CUSTOMER SERVICE, stupid!
But this SUSY-Q biddy from hell picked the WRONG patron to libel and falsely accuse of soda-theft in public!
And I won't return to that outlet until she's either FIRED or QUITS.
Sooner or later she'll screw herself, I'm sure; after all, that's likely all she's ever really been qualified for from the start.
