I love this country. I love the way it makes me feel safe to live here; I love being able to freely travel inside of it; I love the way its citizens can freely travel around the world without anything more than its passport. Above all, I love the principles it was built on and mostly, I love the single greatest thing it offers, CHOICE.
We a free to choose where to live, what to drive, and above all else, we a free to choose where to work.
It's that choice, of being able to choose where to work, that defies grasp of imagination about why some people choose to work in places they don't like.
I can come up with a few answers to that question. The number one of those would be money, "Hell, I hate my job but it pays well, so **** it." But on those jobs which don't pay well or pay minimum wage (the ones we have an enormous abundance of), I can't really understand why people keep doing what they do even if they hate it.
The story:
I had a some friends over a few minutes ago. We got together at my place and just drank and played cards the whole night, there were 6 of us (3 males, 3 females if you wanna know) and we just got hungry like an hour ago so we all decided that one of us should go to Wendy's and pick a bunch of things up.
Someone wrote down what everyone wanted and it came out that we had 5 spicey chicken sandwiches, 3 biggie fries, and a medium frosty on the list.
I decided to pick up the food and drove to the nearest Wendy's. I put my order in through the drive through window and payed with my VISA. Drove to the next window where the guy first handed me the sandwiches in one back, all stocked on top of each other, and next the fries and frosty.
As usuall I started going through the bags to check if everything was there. Fries were all there so now to the chicken sandwiches. As I was about to check the bag (still parked at the window) an older gentleman behind me started honking since I didn't move my car right away.
I figured I'd just continue but he was quite persistent in his Buick. Upon that, I just said, "Ah **** it, it looks like they're all there!" put the bag down on the passanger seat and drove home.
I get home and start unloading the food when one of my friends discovers, yes you guessed it, one Spicey was missing.
**** **** *** BITCH **********ER DIE *** FRY-IN-HELL
I'm not pissed that they stole my 3 dollars, I'm not pissed that I drove the distance to buy from them when I had a BK and McD's 100yards from my house, but I am pissed that not only did I not get my sandwich, they also didn't fill the bottom 2 fry boxes to the top, the fries were cold, the chicken was dry as ****, and they didn't include any napkins.
Now I know that those sorry little **********ers went on to say, "Look guys, just give this ******* the cold fries, the fucked sandwiches, **** him out of his money, and don't include the receipt in the bag. What's he gonna do through the window, LOLOLOLOLOLOL1111111!!!!ONE"
Where are people's morals? Why work at a place where your goal should be customer satiesfaction when you don't have any interest in staying true to your duties as an employee. Get another job, do something for ***** sake but don't drag your potential customers into your bullshit.
I know it's just 3 dollars, **** em, I'll donate 50 to a charity and have but at least take them from me the honorable way. I'm sick of being fucked over for cash or food, and if they at least gave me the 5th sandwich and took an EXTRA 3 bucks I'd still be a little happier because at least everyone including me would have gotten their dinner.
Worst of all, there's nothing I can do about this. Nothing.
I'm steadily loosing confidence in society, where are we going to end up with these kinds of people overflooding our industries?
I'm not mad at society, but God I'm just so damn dissapointed that it makes me sick to my stomach.
Sorry this is so long, but I had to get it off my chest.

Whats a matter in this cruel world when a man can't get into his 87 civic hatch and drive to a fast food joint late at night and order some good american food to eat with his drunk friends in their nice apartment. I bet those Wendies employees are members of rx7club, or worse yet terrorist suicide bombers sent here from Afganistan to ruin the fast food chain once and for all. First it was the gas stations and 7/11's, now its Wendies. Next it will be subway. Instead of Jarrod its gona be Al Jazerra.

Don't get me wrong Srce, I got nothing against you, but you need to look at the bigger picture, All the ppl hurting/killing their kids, all the rapists/child moletsors, drug dealers, the whole ******* world is fucked, After all the events lately (earthquake, tsunami, all the strange weather) it REALLY makes me wonder if this is the endgame, or armegeddon so to speak, I'm not really religious or anything but ****, sumthing's going on the world is swirling down the **** drain, I actually have regret that I brought my son into this, he doesn't deserve to see/hear/feel all this ****, he never asked to be here...It's completely, irrevocably, unreasonably, FUBAR'd out there, and I'm starting to wonder....
