Why are you mad right now?

[Seabeast2000]

Hey, I ordered a new Ninja Blender last week from Amazon....because my blender, also Ninja, is an old, underpowered POS.
Anyway, they sent me 2 Apple Airtags and a 3 pack of Poopouri instead. Close...Amazon.....but my vacation to Italy won't be right without a large countertop appliance vs. the totally impractical airtag and poopoori.



Narrator: He is not, in fact, travelling to Italy.

There are several places I straight up do not eat at here now strictly for this reason alone.
It started getting so noticeable that I started to keep track of how many sequential orders they would screw up and anyone that hit 3 in a row got axed forever. It was a surprisingly large amount.
Like come on man I worked in food service, we all have. It isn't that hard. I know shit happens when you get busy but come on now.

Marco's got an order wrong, and they did the right thing by us on that one, so I appreciate them for it.

Jimmy John's has gotten several orders wrong, and now this other sandwich place. NO Mayo and add three items (to a couple different sandwiches) should be an easy ask, but apparently not. Counting, reading, and assembling sandwiches doesn't seem too difficult, but I guess it is.

Marco's Pizza as a company rocks and will always make it right in my experience. Marco's is a staple in my family, and generally in my town really seeing as they started here. I worked there for years when I was a young man as did my father when times were tough in the 90's. Marco's cheesy bread filled my hungry stomach many a times during both our tenures there. My kids absolutely adore it too. I often forget they franchised it outside of Toledo.

I see Marco's pizza ads on tv all the time. It looks pretty good. The trouble is I'm in New England and the closest Marco's is in PA.

Marco's is great and the only pizza chain I'll eat at. They screwed up my pizza and basically said, "Next one is on us!" Just like you should when you screw up to that extent. My girlfriend and I were able to get her half of the pizza fixed up with only one item we needed from a store, but still, Marco's made it right.

Still, I don't get what the fucking issue is in the city I am. Most can't seem to get a damn order right. It is insane, honestly, as the amount of wrong orders I've had in 2 years exceeds that of which I had in 35 years of my life prior to that.

This has been my experience too lately. I'm basically done with delivery at this point because of all the things that have been incorrect or straight up missing. It's much easier to resolve if I check the order while picking up at the restaurant and point out any mistakes then.

All the more incentive to just cook food myself...

Doesn't seem to matter if I order in person, order online and pickup, etc. I don't know what the fuck people's problem is, but $15 an hour? Maybe when you can get a damn order correct on a consistent basis.

I think I need to institute a new system:
1st time -- 3 months if they get an order wrong (This is all assuming they are not like Marco's and make it right)
2nd time -- 6 months
3rd time -- Never again

Seriously, if you can't understand how to put a fucking pickle slice that is length wise on a sub sandwich, then there is not much help for you.

My girlfriend and I typically cook (well, I do most of the cooking, but still), so it isn't like we get take out often. That said, when I order it or when it is mine, it's wrong far more often than when I was living in Washington, where most people are airheads and on various forms of intoxicants.

Listen, I'm sure y'all have valid complain about your sub/pizza/whatever places, but none of them will compare to the stupidity or the Dunks that neighbors my complex when I ordered ONE donut - a Boston Cream - and they put a fresh one in the bag, ICING SIDE DOWN.

How fucking dumb do you have to be, to put a donut with warm frosting side down where it will ALL stick to the bag? And I didn't find out until I got to the office 20 mins later and was like, "what the actual fuck is this?"

Another time I ordered a hot chocolate and one donut, and I got the donut only and stood there waiting for a drink that she forgot about. I paid for it, and it was legitimately HALF THE ORDER, of TWO ITEMS!

I had to do a captcha yesterday and it looks like they've added AI generated image verification or something (a bunch of words or filer patterns over top of animal images) on top of their autonomous car image verification. Fuck entirely off. I don't understand how they're able to outsource that to the consumer level and force us to do it to be able to log into our account or use the service.

I lost my wallet during the weekend. I don't have a clue if I dropped it somewhere or if I got pickpocketed or something. I never take the thing out of my pocket since I pay everything using my phone these days, so I have no recollection of when I had it and when I didn't... There's nothing of any particular value in there, but it sucks that I'll have to renew my driver's license and other cards if I don't find it somewhere. I think the actually wallet is the most valuable part of it - it's a Legend of Zelda wallet my wife bought me from a Nintendo store in NYC.

Yet again, I put in a seemingly simple sandwich order that I ordered online (so they can refer to a receipt and not get confused). What do they do? They screwed it up of course. They fucked it up to such an extent that I think 2 of 7 were correct, and only 5 were in the bag.

"Well, dumbass, you should've checked before you left." Yep, you're right. Between getting told recently to stop being so pessimistic and to start trusting people more, as well as feeling awful, I ignored the thought that told me to check the bag before we left when picking up the order. Yes, I had the thought as we were leaving that I should check the bag, but said, "No, I'll trust that they did it right."

Thankfully, for everyone's sake, my girlfriend handled it, because I had my jackass button hit so hard (plus I feel like shit and was getting a food headache/swimmy from needing to eat) that I probably wouldn't have been too nice about it.

Also, why would you put length wise slices of pickle so that when you fold the sandwich, the pickle is folded? Just why? (Not to be confused with the standard pickle slices you find on hamburgers.)

I guess I need to babysit/monitor people while they make my food from now on, despite whether or not I am dealing with allergies (or perhaps a cold/flu), because people are going to get it wrong on an alarming basis.

Just to bring this back around to give everyone a "score": I think they got ONE fucking sandwich correct.

I really enjoy that place, but yeah, I'm not going back for three months. Hopefully the smooth brain who fucked up my order is either fully trained or future endeavor'd. Either way, take a fucking lap.

I lost my wallet in the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC the night before the day before I was supposed to fly back to the states and holy shit is that one hell of a story and a half.

Why am I mad right now?

I’m mad because my ex-wife’s ex boyfriend got abusive with her in front of my kids, then followed her around the city we lived in, forcing us to move, costing us both thousands of dollars. The worse part is seeing my daughter, who he treated as the cause of all of the problems in their house, cry several nights a week because her best friend now lives in another state and she we can’t get ahold of her. I’m not a ‘the world’s fucked up’ kind of pissed. It is. I’m not ‘my gf cheated kind of pissed off’. I’m that primal, you fucked with my children kind of pissed off….

Uh, are restraining orders not a thing anymore?

I was given two surgery options: One is three surgeries and likely won't actually fix my physical symptoms, and the other is just one surgery, but it means an ostomy bag for the rest of my life.
