Idiots, all of them

Yesterday we went to Lagoon, which is a whole other post and maybe one I'll just leave to Rheanna. I want to share about the idiot experiences I had. With my food voucher I had a coupon for $2 off the giant mug that had free refills, so I splurged and spent the $10 and was determined to get my money's worth of the soda and lemonade, so now my body is flowing with corn syrup, good stuff : )
I found one of the counters that my coupon was good at and asked about purchasing one. I gave him a $20 and he gave me back two $5s. He then left for a while only to come back and say they were sold out, so I should try around the corner where they normally don't accept the coupon, but would under the circumstances. So he opens his drawer and gives me back my coupon and then gives me back my $20. Assuming he just refunded $10, I start to walk away. Hearing his protest, I realized I'd been given the full $20 back. So I pull out a $10 to pay him and he says that he gave me two $5s, no a $10. I returned the two $5s and he was happy. Wow, idiot #1!
I went around the corner to the other concession stand and presented my coupon and request. The response from this kid was, "huh?" I had to explain that it was a coupon and that I was going to pay $10 for the mug with refills. He seemed a bit hesitant, but decided to go along with it. He got the mug and started filling my root beer. Instead of trying to do it slowly, as soon as the foam would creep near the top, he'd stop the fountain and then dump all the foam off the side, leaving a sticky mess on the outside of my cup. He then half winces in pain and makes a sniffle. He pulls a nasty wadded up tissue from his pocket. Oh great, he's going to blow his nose over my drink. I already decided that if this happens I will just dump my drink and get a refill elsewhere. Well, instead he uses his tissue to wrap around an injured finger. Wow, ever hear of a band aid? People like that give the fast food industry a bad name. Idiot #2!
Later I returned to the first idiot to get a refill. He is not going to do it b/c I'm supposed to have a card that says I'm getting refills for the day. I informed him that I had tried buying from him and had to go around the corner. Fortunately he remembered and gave me the coveted refill card, just reaffirming the stupidity of idiot #2 for not doing it in the first place.

Then, on our way home we found another idiot, although we don't know who it is : ) We went to Wendy's for a cookie dough twisted frosty. We order it and then see a sign that there is no syrup for a chocolate frosty, which is fine b/c we'd just get vanilla. Then we see that they are out of spoons. Are you kidding, what kind of fast food place is out of spoons? Go across to Albertsons and just get some, who care is they aren't individually wrapped. So since they took my order, I ask how we are supposed to eat them. Well, we could maybe have our own in the car, go take one from McDonald's or just wait until we get home. Are you kidding? If you don't have spoons, don't sell the item. We got frosty shakes to drink with a straw instead.
