Lmao. I am not an attorney so I probably speak pidgin english.
I dunno. When told to press one for English, do you marque dos?
I agree with you that standard minimum wage should not be $15 per hour. I also agree that they messed up smothering a biscuit in gravy. But a side of gravy in a bowl should have been acceptable and you could dress your biscuit how you please.
Ordinarily, it would have been fine to just serve a bowl, but again, driving. If they think they deserve a wage that will let them raise a family of four, I expect them to have the reasoning skills to figure out that knife-and-fork are not compatible with drive-through.

And I've no problem with smothering a biscuit in gravy; it's smothering a sandwich, the whole point of which is to be able to pick it up and eat it with your hands. Again, very simple reasoning; if you can't figure that out, perhaps you shouldn't be having kids.

I used to drive the turnpike between Tul and OKC frequently. Virtually every time they handed me my bag at the window I would have to check and get them to reopen their window and hand me napkins. Ya know, it was not like I intended to take it home and eat it. Gerrrr

The biggest problem with the $15 an hour thing is that it might be reasonable in NY with the general expensive living prices there, but not in Oklahoma. We have real people here doing real jobs that a $15 an hour minimum would put many business in the red. It is not sustainable in many places unless we would be happy driving into MD's here and paying $14 for a plain burger and fries.

If the economy would sustain it with the quality of workers available, it would already be there not as a minimum wage, but as a standard to get good help.

Incidentally, el gerente couldn't figure out how to process a refund. Every time he tried, he came up with a figure more than I paid. I told him the correct amount, and he still offered more. I repeated the correct amount, and he gave it to me, annoyed.

At what point should his annoyance at my rejection of his dependence on his computer overcome my honesty? #15now
