Saw somthing funny at the mall

[hypnoticgenes]

This lady was trying to convince her son that they didnt have hotdogs...




AT THE "HOTDOG ON A STICK"

[Franchise]

A woman came into the store where I work today to use the ATM.

After a couple minutes, she asked for my help, because she was having issues.

We got as far as the language select screen - English or French.

"This is where I have problems", she says. "I'm American."

Yeah, just tell your kid that they can't have something if you don't want to buy your kid something. Don't lie to them and say that the hot dog shop is out of hot dogs or say that McDonald's is out of hamburgers.

I went to a mid-mall snacking establishment pretzel vendor that was out of pretzels once. That was a sad time.

maybe the kid wanted an actual hot dog and not one on a stick but somehow didn't understand that they wouldn't have a hot dog on a bun?

I went to Taco Time at our mall this one time, and the counter person gave my to go order to the guy in line ahead of me, and gave me his nasty ass nacho salad bowl thingy. By the time my number was called, though, the dude who got my order was LONG gone.

They DID offer to remake my order, but I was pretty pissed and just got my money back, went to the next stand over, which was a Carl's JR and got a Western Bacon Chee.

Twice in the last few months, I've been to Starbucks and ordered a cafe mocha, and the girl taking the order said, "Sorry, we're all out of those. ... (pause) ... Just kidding." Two different Starbucks, two different people. I asked the second girl if this is something management tells them to say now to "lighten the mood" with customers. She said no, but Starbucks does encourage the employees to "be real."

Last Easter I was sitting outside a coffee shop at my mall and the Easter Bunny is sitting there getting pictures. This one lady spent 30 minutes dragging her son, who was kicking and screaming, to get a pic with the Bunny. The kid stood on the bench and the lady walked over with her hands up. I don't want to say she pushed him, but the kid goes flying off the bench and everyone in the ,all, who were all watching it, just stops and stares.

My mother works at Starbucks. She has a collection of wacky hats which she wears year-round and season-appropriately, and if someone asks for something innocuous (lid, extra cup, etc) she'll just tell them it's $5.

The funniest time I had at the mall was when my friends and I told this Asian kid playing DDR and destroying it about the Pump It Up that was "hidden" in the cinema's small arcade/lounge. We walked him across the mall (literally one end to the other) and he thanked us by paying for us free rounds. It was stereotypically surreal.

I went to TGI Fridays once, granted in South America, and I ordered a Burger and Fries.. They were out of Fries... I ordered a Coke.. they were out of Coke...

Yep.
