People who speak in a rude way

[maddash]

Sitting behind a car in the drive through today and this person in front of me places his order:

I need a number 2 with NO pickles or mustard, and that's IT.

First off, don't [expletive] say need. You don't need a number 2, you'd LIKE a number 2, you'd be pleased to have a number 2. Secondly, why the need to accentuate NO when talking about the condiments. Yeah, so a fast food place screwed up your order before and you don't want it happening again... how is treating them like [expletive] going to change that, again?

Listen, maybe you're one of those really nice people that just come off as rude. You know, they always have a scowl on their face and speak in that halting tone, but everyone seems to say "oh yeah, she actually kind of a nice person". How about putting a little effort into interacting with other people in a respectable way. I know people who actually deserve the chip on their shoulder, but never show it. Why? Because their parents taught them how to act like a [expletive] human being.

I know dumping on antiquated forms of etiquette is en vogue these days, but holy [expletive], how [expletive] hard is it to say please and thank you... even when you don't even mean it. It just makes life easier for everyone.

A post on etiquette littered with expletives. Nice.

Just to pile on...... don't say "Give me a #2 with no pickles", unless you're going to add "please".

I can understand someone saying NO pickles and mustard just to make sure that the person hears them clearly since those drive through mics I imagine aren't the greatest.

The that's IT part was just them being rude.

Never, ever, ever talk to people who have crappy jobs like that. Especially when you plan to ingest what they produce.

I was just thinking the same thing...I didn't know they made cheese & wine drive-thrus.

Starbucks has a fruit and cheese plate. I think wine would be illegal to serve drive-thru style.
