I guess I'll just regale you with some stories of crazy dd customers.
Types of funny/annoying customers:
1. The Goldilocks.
I cannot tell you how many times a day people complain to me that their coffee is too hot. Seriously? you ordered HOT coffee. It's in the name. So then I remind them that we have iced coffee too. Oh no, that's too cold. So then I put ice cubes in their coffee. Whatever, just means less coffee for you. I especially enjoy when they specify how many ice cubes they want.
2. The really specific orderer:
I love it when people come through the drive thru and are like "I need (you really don't NEED anything from dd, but okay) an extra large hot coffee with 6 skim milk, 8 splenda, 4 pumps of caramel swirl, 4 ice cubes, and could you stir that really really really really really really well, like, with a spoon." We're supposed to have the customers through the line in 2:30. It takes these people 2 mins and thirty seconds to order.
3. The indecisive drive thru-er
If you don't know what you want, and can't decide within a minute of looking at the menu, please come inside. As I said, we're timed, and your um..., uh..., is not helping us.
4. The smoker.
I dont want your secondhand smoke in my face when I have to hand you your change.
5. The bad driver.
I hate it when I have to like climb out the window to give someone their change. "somebody hold my feet!!"
6. Just plain inconsiderate
Don't make me wait for you to finish your phone call. Don't make me stand there with the window open in the winter while you search for 4 pennies. Don't come in and order a gigantic order with no warning and expect it to magically be ready in a flash. Big orders take a while.
7. Impatient:
Where else does your food come within two minutes. Hold your damn horses. This is what's wrong with America. I'd like to see you make 6 sandwiches and coffees in that time.
8. Anger Management:
One time a guy threw a pound of coffee at one of my coworkers because his food didnt come fast enough. People swear and yell at us regularly. One guy swore at us, squeeled his tires and sped off because we were out of glazed donuts. Then he came inside and yelled some until he finally decided on a different donut. People are just ridiculous sometimes.
Honorable mention:
- This guy a couple of weeks ago asked me if he could get my number so he could "shoot my hands" (take pictures of my hands for a project he was doing, apparently). Don't worry, I said no. Creeptastic.
