That was the time and place for the Ron Burgundy voice. “Oh baxter, you know I don’t speak spanish” or “Stop talking like that, I can’t understand you!” would have been quite appropriate.
sounds like you’re a little uptight. you are surprised some teenager (presumably) isn’t taking his part time, minimum wage, dead end job seriously? you NEVER fucked around at all when you had a job like this? it sounds like it may have been a joke that just didn’t reach its target audience, let it go.

No, I’m completely at ease, but when you get older, you start seeing a lot of things differently. When I’m hired to do a job, I do it, and do it right. My parents taught me about work ethic. I won’t ever visit that place again after hearing this.
There’s nothing funny about it. You have a job to do. Do it. If it was a joke on his part, I find that completely unacceptable. You’re not paid to fuck with a paying customer. And if his english is truly that broken (which deosn’t seem to be the case at all), then he has no business working on an intercom. Put him in the kitchen where he doesn’t have to interact with people. This kind of really bothers me. It just shows how accepting our country is becoming with fucking mediocrity. If I was working with someone doing that, I’d let them hear it. That’s total bullshit.

Hmmm… Maybe he was fucking with you. And they pretty much teach spanish to every kid in high school these days.
:mamoru:
Mighty Taco isn’t about being uptight. And gay.
He was probably joking around until you came along.
yeah, i agree with you there, i’m just saying, we all did stupid shit when we were younger. i just don’t think talking to someone in spanish is that horrible of an offense.
I would like to know what mighty this was, and possibly what day/time so i can try to get the same service and respond in a slightly different way…
if you don’t want to publicly post such information, at least PM me which mighty it was, i won’t post anything you dont want me to…but i wanna give it a shot :lol:
Ive come to expect the drive through people to talk to me in Spanish down here(NC). It seems like they are everywhere down here in comparison to Buffalo. Ive worked at 5 different restaurants in Buffalo since sophomore year of HS and have never worked with a non-English speaking Mexican until I moved here. It seems like you have to speak spanish to communicate with anyone in the kitchen at the restaurant that I am at right now. Its ridiculous.
Call and bitch like you plan to. I’m sure that will make your day.

Maybe your reading comprehension isn’t where it needs to be? I’ve already stated that i’m not the type of person to complain about this kind of stuff and also that I understand that the person doesn’t care about his job. By saying that it will “make my day” you’re implying that I do this all the time. Once again, I’ve never in my life bitched about something like this, but it pissed me off. Didn’t ruin my day, my life, whatever, it’s just annoying

Spot on Joe:tup: The people who are supporting this kind of behavior are a good example of that. And its not even that the joke wasn’t funny,I have a sense of humor (though this really wasn’t funny). It was his poor service after the fact. All he had to say was hi, $8.92…$11.08 is your change…thank you have a good day. Not hard.
Considering it was Mighty Taco, I wouldn’t have given 2 shits.
I don’t walk into Mighty expecting any sort of semblence of customer service. As long as my Super Mighty is delicious and artery/toilet clogging, I’m satisfied.
fuck that. if i was making minimum wage in a job that i could easily replace, you bet your ass i would fuck with every single customer. i think it’s funny. :tup: X2
Come take a visit to northern Virginia. Every store… i mean EVERY store… any food joint, lowes, home depot, target, wal mart etc… fucking FILLED with people that don’t speak english. Every person in the joint. How does this happen? You go ask someone where something simple is… and you get a blank stare…
Let me tell you its fucking thrilling. Useless.
The only place that consistently has english speaking employees is Advance Auto. Seriously.
I think the concern was the employee being a dick about it afterward.
If the kid/guy chuckled that he was sorry, said have a great day or even said haste la vista I think that would have been a pleasant visit.
If I was greeted in Spanish, I would let their be that weird silence, then I would say something along the order of “What the hell did you say boyee” in a very heavy souther tone. That or possibly “I need two beers” in spanish…
as thats all I really know how to say well lol…If the guy acted like a tool after I would be upset though.
