Patience is a virtue.

Sorry for my long absence. Had really been busy recently.
Fastfood. i cant really say im a fan of it(except for KFC) lol, but of course i do eat it once in awhile like any other teenager. But what really irritates me most whenever i go for fastfood is the other patrons of the fastfood restaurant.

U see, i dont mind queuing for my food, but when it comes to certain situations, i get real impatient.
I dont know if im lucky or what, but 7 out of 10 times i visit a fastfood restaurant, i meet another patron which is so irritating i feel like knocking him down. These ppl can be irritating in several ways and i shall kindly list them out here.

The queue is long, and after waiting for about 20minutes, im finally SECOND in line to order.








Yes!


Then within this close range, i can hear the conversation between the fastfood cashier and the customer which is about to order.
Im really amazed by how ignorant ppl can turn out to be at times. The queue had been for so long and yet, when the customers reach the counter, they had not thought of their order yet..and this happens ALL D TIME. Ill take MacDonalds for instance.

Staff : Can i take your order sir?
Customer 1 : Yesyes. Errrrrrrrrrr, give me er... hang on a sec.
After 1min or so..
Customer 1: OK, i would like a burger.
Staff : What burger??
Customer 1: Hmmm. Mac Chicken please.
Staff : Thats all?
Customer 1 : Errr, no, gimme a large fries please.
Staff : anything else for you sir?
Customer : Oh, and 1 large coke please.
Staff : Why dont u take our MacChicken VALUE MEAL sir?
Customer 1 : errrrrrrr.. set how much? ala carte how much?

I somehow do not understand how blind can these ppl be. I mean, whats the purpose of the menu's up there with those pretty little lights decorating it????

Staff : Set is RMXX.XX , ala carte is RM X.XX
Customer : OK give me a set then. Wait hang on, Fries without salt and my burger without any vege please.

At this point, this painful ordeal for me has alr taken 10mins . But im still ok with it as the customer has their rights to choose how their food should be prepared.And A lil patience wont hurt anyone right?then..

Staff : No add on sir?
Customer : no no no.

about 1min later...
Customer : WAIT! Can i add on a sundae ? strawberry flavour...

@#$^@&#%*$^*$^(%&
The staff then cant help with this add on because the machine has alr printed the receipt and received the payment from the customer. Then the staff has to call the manager whom comes hurrying with a key to somehow unlock d machine and put the customers sundae as an add-on which is slighty cheaper than d normal one.

Finally after all the fuss, the food is then served to the customer on a tray.

Customer : WAIT, didnt i tell u to take away?
