at least her mommy loves her, bad service, change is bad, defensiveness ahoy, i used to be a therapist!, miss cleo told me i'm special, paper is obsolete!, pretention, special snowflake syndrome, writing shit down is hard :(, your rules don't apply to me

Keeping track of checks is for old people and losers with low credit scores
Over in bad_service, beccaweccavt makes a post about some "bad service" she receives from a mechanic who charges her less than they should have but OMG doesn't cash her check immediately! The denizens of bad_service are confused. beccaweccavt then proceeds to let the community know that she's unable to keep track of her written checks because she's a bookkeeper for a large corporation and has a credit score of 800.

Keep on truckin', beccaweccavt. Keep on truckin'.

	Yeah, I got some terrible service from Swiss Chalet a couple days ago. I ordered one chicken dinner, and wound up with two, and was only charged for the one. Me: blink I have a second chicken dinner. Boyfriend: Huh. How about that. Did they charge you? Me: No, look. points to receipt So. Wanna free dinner? Boyfriend: Sure. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well - free food CAN be confusing. I still vividly remember how confused I was by being given a free doughnut... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	What kind of doughnut? (I plan on living vicariously through you.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Krispey Kreme classic glazed.

I think part of my problem was that I was staring at the menu trying to decide whether I wanted a Boston Creme or a Raspberry Creme when I was handed it without a word being said to me (!). The rest of my problem was the minor detail of having had only 3 hours of sleep (none of them consecutive) the night before.

According to the friend I was with, she's never seen anyone quite as boggled by being given something free!

	I received a coupon for a free dozen for filling out a Krispy Kreme survey. I redeemed the coupon this morning, and I think it's a safe bet that I will consist of roughly 85% doughnut by this evening. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	When I went to America, I felt like I was getting free food all the time, what with the price and portion size! I miss getting meals that costs half of what they costs here, and feeds me for 2/3 times as many meals. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	See, I'd point that out and go pay for it. Half because I like to think of myself as honest (even when I'm not), and half because I expect karma to eventually give me a Terrible Smiting otherwise. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I ordered it via phone, and it was delivered, and the delivery guy was already gone. I wouldn't know where to send it. I figured it made up for all those 'free appetizers' that I keep being offered if I order via the website. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
