According to that the speech I gave yesterday in speach class was 89% good!
And here it is:
Every place in the world has its own little oddity, Pamplona has The running of the bulls, Arizona has the London bridge; recently I discovered [Place Name Censored]s oddity, Arbys!
At first I came there thinking it was just another fast food restaurant, but soon realized it was the nexus of raw human stupidity. This is not to say that everyone there is stupid, just a larger percentage then say a Mickey Dees or a Bee Kay. This stupidity makes me very angry, but it is impossible to go anywhere else because Im too darn lazy to walk the extra block to get to the Taco Bell. So anytime I need food at work, Arbys is the only place to go.
I think one of the most heinous crimes they have done was on one day in August. It started out a day like any other, until I entered Arbys. Upon entering I waited about 10 minutes in line for the chance to speak to one of their very inefficient cashiers. After meeting with one of them, I ordered a gastric delight known as the Beef n Cheddar. Now the Beef n Cheddar always comes with two goops inside, there is the cheesy cheddar goop and the sweet special sauce goop. What is needed to make it palatable is a third goop, this tangy goop is known as Horsey Sauce. So I asked them to include Horsey Sauce. So after I get my To Go Bag I look inside and find the sandwich, my fries, but no packets of horsey sauce, so I say, Hey I asked for Horsey Sauce and the cashier said, its in the sandwich, so I headed back to work, then I opened the foil surrounding the sandwich, and there was no horsey sauce! I had to suffer because of their ineptitude! It was horrible!
Another instance of Arbys ineptitude was something I like to call the Long Line Debacle. This is during a time when a particularly inefficient crew was working the register. The debacle was, at what point does your boredom of waiting in line become so immense that it crushes the long-standing social tenant of not talking to strangers. The answer was 15 minutes, when me and another victim of the poor service calculated that at the current rate of service the staff was not even making its own wages. Our hunger pains grew as the cashiers fumbled around in state of total confusion. Anarchy was looming there was talk of violence, finally it was my turn, I ordered waited five minutes for them to process it and left. To this day I wonder if they were just a little bit more inefficient would we have a revolution on our hands.
Of, course colossal stupidity can have its positive sides! One fine day not more than a month ago, I came to Sbarros, an Italian restaurant within Arbys that serves grease wedges and rubbery string. When paying for the cheese grease wedge meal I gave 11 dollars so I could get a full five-dollar bill back. The staff however couldnt work with such a strange method of payment. After they tried to give me the one back. I said Its so I can have a 5 back. The cashier said, No the you get $4.85 back. Then, I said, but Im giving you a one so I can have a five. He said, Hey Im in college algebra, I know math! I simply pointed to my shirt, and said, Calculus. He was flustered and gave me the five, after he already gave me the four, so I ended up making four dollars. Some people call that stealing, but if youve listened to me, youll think its justified.
Thank you, and have a great speech class!
