Well, since the blog the other day got some people talking about a doctor or hairdresser working on you, and instead talking with other people, I thought about the bad customer service I've gotten the past few days. In the span of four days, the following have happened:
At Pat & Oscars, after waiting 30 minutes for my girlfriends pasta, we went up to ask what was going on (I had already gotten my food). We have no clue, since they said "It will be ready in a few minutes," and it was. Yet, no explanation. No offer to give us a free dessert or anything. Just brought over the pasta, as if waiting 30 minutes is the norm.
At McDonald's, I went into the Drive-thru after LA Fitness, to get a large Coke. I get extra ice, because I love chewing it (sorry Dr. Giglio, my dds). And I figure I'm getting less calories from the soda that way. I was given a drink with no ice. And, I didn't realize that until I was a mile down the road. I turned around only because, the soda was warm, so it wasn't like I could even drink it. And I was thirsty from basketball.
At Bronx Pizza in Hillcrest, my girlfriend picked up a pepperoni/onion pizza. She loves the onions, I usually pick them off. But, I didn't need to pick them off this time, as they forgot to put them on.
On Saturday, I crashed a party for someone turning 30. I brought a bottle of booze, and decided to bring a cake. In Vons, the tag said "German Chocolate Cake," but it was just a plain chocolate cake. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just a mislabel.
The night before, my girlfriend and I were going to see The Wrestler. I brought her flowers, and she said what most women say the opposite of when they get flowers. She said, "These things stink." As I sniffed, I said "It smells like a brand new tire." She thought they smelled more like manure.
We took them back (before going to Pat & Oscar's). They looked at us weird. Until they smelled them. Then, both agreed they smelled awful. They couldn't figure out why for the first few minutes. They then realized it was these small flowers, and suggested replacing them with babies breath. I said, "Well, we're going to get something to eat, and a movie. The flowers would just sit in the car." They didn't seem to be jumping at offering me the $15 back, so I said "Can you give me credit for another bouquet, and I'll come back another time?" They did that. But, it's weird I had to ask.
And none of those things were really big deals, but it's just strange that so many of them happened in such a short span of time. There are even a few more I'm probably forgetting. I just had nothing better to blog about!
