What's Your Story?

[AKAtude]

Recently, a radio personality was telling a story about going to a fast food chain restaurant that specializes in selling chicken (he didn't mention which one). When he got there, they were out of chicken, but had fish! Chicken...fish...

As I recounted this story to some friends this past weekend, they too had tales to tell. Someone told of a Burger King that ran out of Whoppers. I suppose those two for one specials were too much for them to handle.

Someone else told about being the last car in a drive-thru and the restaurant closed before he could place his order. He drove to the window to ask if they could take his order since he was the only car not served, and they said no because they were closing.

So, does anyone else have a story to share?

My Dad and I went to McDonalds and they ran out of French Fries It was the middle of the day on a Saturday. My Dad was like "what the hell, don't you specialize in french fries? How can Mickey D's RUN OUT OF FRIES?

I guess they never heard of inventory control.

This is not a story per se, it is just an observation.
Whenever I patronize a black or west-indian restaurant, they NEVER have everything that is being advertised on the menu! You place your order and the waiter or waitress tells you that they are all out of that! I'm telling you this happens to almost everytime!

I still love my peeps though! :P

I went to a fast food resturant once and ordered a sprite with my meal. The person told me that the soda machine was out of order. O.K. no problem, didn't need one anyway! So, I told her to give me a cup of water instead. She told me the water was broken!!! I was like what the....?!?! How you be a resturant and have NO WATER??? I asked her how they were washing their hands then and she looked at me like I had lost my mind!! Needless to say I canceled the order and called the health department the next day! JUST NASTY!!!

The caf here at work is ALWAYS out of something. How can a cafeteria run out of plain old basic American cheese? or butter? You have to get to lunch early or they will run out of everything.

This is in light of the fact that the caf at my old job, WHO WAS RUN BY THE SAME COMPANY, rarely ran out of anything because they had their stuff together.

There's a new BK that just opened close to my house, I've been there twice and have ordered a milkshake--twice. Guess what? They were "just" out--twice.

I've also been to McDonald's that was out of french fries, but they were substituting hash browns! How 'bout, NOT!

Can you believe this? My family and I went to a Burger King for breakfast one Saturday morning following my little boy's basketball game. We drove up and were waiting to place our order when a young woman comes on the intercom and informs us that she can't take our order until the manager comes back with some change. What???? Needless to say, we decided not to wait and instead went across the street to the McDonald's.

Whoops....Sorry, I had to edit this post. I forgot to add that the manager was on her way to the bank to get change, not to the safe at the restaurant.

Well, I can relate. I went to a Kentucky Fried Chicken in my area and not only did they not have chicken, but they didnt have macaroni & cheese either. Imagine pillin gup to the drive through after waiting for 15 minutes, only to see a sign that says "Sorry we out of chicken" (shaking my head)

Please tell me that is not really what the sign said. Please.

This is a little off, but what gets me is when I go to a restaraunt and order a Dr.Pepper and they say "We don't have Dr.Pepper but we have root beer." How in dee hell is root beer a substitute for Dr. Pepper?

How about Kenny Roger's Roasters running out of Chicken. DAMMIT! That should never happen, but it did. Oh and one of KFC's in my area, was shut down by the health dept. What's up with that. They gave no explanation. And I've eaten there this year. GROSS!

I went to Taco Bell and you know how they say "welcome to taco bell would you like to try one of our value meals today". Well I say yes, I would like a #3 ( you know how you have to place orders by numbers to make it easy on the workers) and they told me we are all out of combo meals today would you like to try our original taco.

Okay I have one. Oneday I went to McDonalds. I don't know about everywhere else, but in Compton McDonalds stops selling breakfast at 10:50. So I go through the drive-thru @ about 10:55 and they tell me, "We're not selling lunch yet." I say, "Okay, well are you still selling breakfast?" The girl tells me no. So I ask them what are you selling? They told me to come back in 5 minutes.
How are they not going to be operating for 5 minutes. This is McDonalds!!! They don't all break at the same time. So what's the deal???

That has to be my most ghetto experience EVER!!!
