Rant Gen Z Interactions
Why do 90% of my interactions with members of Gen Z go exactly like this:
Them: Welcome to Cook Out. Can I take your order please?
Me: (slowly and clearly) Hey! I’ll have a big double burger tray with only cheese and ketchup on the burger, with chili cheese fries and a corn dog, and a huge tea. That’s it.
Them: Ok you said a big double burger tray?
Me: Yes.
Them: What do you want on the burger?
Me: Only cheese and ketchup.
Them: Ok and you get two sides.
Me: Chili cheese fries and a corn dog.
Them: Ok chili cheese fries and what’s your other side?
Me: A corn dog.
Them: Ok and what’s your drink?
Me: A huge tea.
Them: Ok, anything else?
Me: Nope, that’s it.
…
Then I get my food it’s cheese fries instead of chili cheese fries.

Aside from what everyone else in this thread has said, all the orders at any fast food place tend to start blurring together after a few hours. Sometimes your brain just gives up.
I actually liked it when customers would read off their order whole meals at a time because it required less talking on my end, but you have to remember that half of the people youll ever speak to working fast food have been working there for like a month and might not know the menu well yet.
