WTF Sonic Drive Thru Vista

It was a great night for a drive and since we had received a coupon for a free medium Cherry Limeade in the mail we stopped by Sonic in Vista last night.  

When we placed our order for 2 medium Cherry Limeades, our server asked if we had a coupon. I confirmed that we had 1 coupon and I would be paying for the second limeade.

When our server, Briana, delivered the Limeades, she quoted a total of $2.15.  I handed over my credit card since I rarely carry cash. After she ran it through the machine, she said, "Oh, wait. If I run this then it will charge you for both Limeades.  So I need you to pay me cash." 

What?  When she rolled up on her skates and delivered the limeades she quoted me a total of $2.15.  Plus she asked before she rang up the order if I had a coupon.  So I wasn't clear on why an additional $2.15 would magically appear on my card and why after she ran the card, she "realized it."

When I asked her if my card was charged, Briana stated she cancelled it before it went through and reiterated that I needed to pay in cash or I would be charged for both Limeades.

When I asked why can't she just adjust the total and that it didn't make sense. She muttered something.  

So, whatever, I scrounge in my purse to come up with $2.15.  As I'm looking Briana tells me, "Oh, you can just give me $2."  Hmm, first it's $2.15 if cash, then $4.30 if credit card, now she'll take $2?"  WTF is going on?

If it were just me I would have already left but my kids were in the car and the limeades were for them so I had to stick it out. Darn kids.  :)

I found $3.  Briana took my 3, $1 bills can brought back my change...$0.45 and quickly rolled away.  

Okay, I'm not a mathematician but I can do simple arthrimetic. $3 - $2.15 = $0.85, not $0.45.

Oh, and yeah, I didn't get a receipt either.

Kinda makes you wonder if some of the employees are skimming cash....

 

WTF Ava The Elephant Medicine Dispenser

While at CVS, waiting to pick up a prescription, because I actually get out of my car and walk inside rather than be lazy and go through the drive-thru prescription drop-off, I came across Ava the talking elephant medicine dispenser.

The concept is that it's easier to get your baby/toddler to take medicine if you put it inside a dispenser that looks like an elephant, and it talks.  What?

If I were the baby/toddler instead of being eager to suck down my medicine from an elephant's trunk, I think I would be a little freaked out on so many levels.  One, the elephant talks.  Two, call it medicine but basically you're encouraging your kid to eat boogers.  You had better start thinking of your come back line and why it's ok to eat Ava the elephant's boogers and not their own.

It would be interesting to see if any of the babies/toddlers that were subjected to this torture device developed a fear of elephants.

WTF No Fat Chicks

Saw this on a car the other day.  Hmm, maybe why some folks have a problem with Christianity.  If this isn't an example of a hypocritical Christian, then what is?

I have to wonder, if the person who owns this car isn't a Christian, then why didn't they take off the New Song Church bumper sticker.

And if they are, don't they realize the message they are sending?  How can they be salt and light with a No Fat Chicks bumper sticker?

Hypocritical Christians are the biggest stumbling block for the church. I'm not saying that as Christians, we're all perfect.   Since the Lord knows we certaintly aren't, but we're supposed to be the best we can be.  And spreading hate isn't doing that.
