Where's a brick wall when you need one?

I am SURROUNDED by stupid people! I swear to God! I had another "McDonalds Moment" as a new friend of mine calls it. I took Ben to the bowling alley today. There happens to be a Taco Bell/Pizza Hut inside and as it was lunchtime I thought 'how convenient!'. Little did I know I was up for another DUH moment! So Ben ordered a personal pan pizza/breadsticks/drink combo, while I ordered a Zesty Chicken Salad Bowl. Easy? I thought so. So after a half hour (no such thing as FAST food anymore apparently!) our order arrives. Bens order was right. Mine was wrong. Mine was actually DEADLY for me to be honest. It was a BEEF salad bowl, and for those who don't know, I am DEATHLY allergic to beef (weird, I know..but then weird suits me! haha). I will end up in the ER very very ill. So, I take my order back to the gal and said 'I ordered a CHICKEN bowl, not beef. I am actually very allergic to beef, this could have put me in the hospital'. She looks at it and says 'Oh, that's not beef, its steak'. I KID YOU NOT! I just looked at her. STUNNED. I said to her 'Steak IS beef' ( you will be proud to know I didn't add MORON to the end of that sentence! haha). She said 'Oh, it IS?'...uh..yah...last time I checked, a steak was a hunk o' cow...AKA, BEEF. Ugh....she was really sweet and really nice and really trying...but HELLO, McFly!
I got my Chicken bowl and it was yummy...and actually lowfat and healthy too...when I was leaving the bowling alley, she gave Ben and I each a fruit smothie for free, which I thought was very nice of her.
Still doesn't change the fact that she is dumber than a door knob. But then, maybe I just expect a certain level of intelligence in people. Who knows. What I DO know is that eating out is off my list of things to do for awhile. My faith in humankind, at least of the server variety, is at an all time low! :)

Hugs to all,
Jaye

LOL. Wow, what a rube! I hate to be rude since she was so sweet to you, but I hope she likes working fast food 'cause it doesn't sound like she really has a future in anything else.
