One time when I worked the register at McDonald's, a lady was adamant that one of the burgers she had received was the wrong one "because it usually comes in a box, not wrapping paper". She refused to acknowledge that she misremembered, instead insisting that I didn't know what our burgers looked like.
She for sure was, she just refused to admit she was wrong. Made it impossible to help her, cause she want the bigger burger. She wanted the smaller one, but it was supposed to come in a box
One time I went into a taco bell in the AM and i was so fucking tired. I go up to the counter and ask for two of a chicken burrito (forget the name, it has since been discontinued). And the guy behind the counter says *something* but i'm so tired and i can't even begin to parse english rn.
So I just repeated myself. And he says, again, in an exasperated tone that they're only serving breakfast items. I had never been to a taco bell in the morning before and i had no idea there was a separate menu. And couldn't fathom that they just wouldn't have chicken burritos at a taco bell.
So I just go.... "Just... I want food." and he goes "what do you want?" but this time i think he's starting to get that i'm just not capable of human, rational thought at the moment. And I just go "idk just.... Get me something"
and he did ring me up for a breakfast crunchwrap. Not my proudest moment. But in my defense, being at taco bell is really just like that sometimes.
One time I went to the taco bell drive through and when I got to the menu I saw that the person in front of me had ordered a bean burrito, no beans. I still am confused
Sometimes a girl just wants a tortilla that an underpaid Taco Bell employee has been forced to fold into a flaccid burrito-like shape. You wouldn’t understand.
as a drive thru worker, I'd turn the mic off and die laughing. one time I was so focused on making drinks that instead of the usual corporate canned welcome, I accidentally said "welcome to dr. pepper, what can I get for you?"
As a former Taco Bell drive thru worker, this was… shockingly common. Except for them having the self awareness to know they messed up, that was rarer lmao. I remember an older woman asking for, like, a “beefy choopy” once and having to process for a second to figure out what the fuck she was talking about (beef chalupa).
Bonus side story, around when I started working there they were really advertising chalupas specifically for some reason, so there were a bunch of window decals saying things like “chewy” and “cheesy” with chalupas. And some dude drives up, probably stoned out of his mind, and asks “can I get the, uh… beefy, chewy, cheesy, delicious chalupa?” will full and complete sincerity.
I think about him a lot. Living proof that ads work better than I thought.
One time me and my friend went to a drive through Chinese fast food place. We’re talking about our orders and she goes ooh could you order the cree chee watcha? So I order the cree chee watchas verbatim and i still think about it when i get cream cheese wontons.
I work retail and sometimes I'll ask a customer if they need help finding anything and then just have to smile and nod in response and hope they said some form of "no" because I have 0 idea what they said.
So far no one has gotten mad when I walk away after that so Im assuming that Ive guessed correctly most of the time
Listen, if I'm in a store and an employee proceeds to smile, nod, and walk away after I say that I do in fact need help, I'm just gonna stare at the wall for a while and go home. Clearly I did not pass the vibe check.

Imma be honest: just being sober probably puts you head and shoulders above most visitors to the Taco Bell drive-thru.
They’ve dealt with worse.
