2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I used to work at an Old Country Buffet (not sure if you guys have em up in WNY), and we ran out of fried chicken one day. As the cashier I was the one who had to give people who already paid their refunds and tell the people who first came into the restaurant what the deal was. I'll tell ya, you do NOT want to be the person telling paying customers they can't have their fried chicken. "Y'all aint got no fried chicken? What am I here for? What kinda place is this?" etc etc. The manager took plenty of it too, but as the cashier/greeter I probably took the brunt of it. I'll never forget this African American woman who yelled at the top of here lungs, "What! No fried chicken!?" Everyone in the place turned to look. Those Popeye's customers are a lot like the people I dealt with. Looks like those employees were able to bail, though. I have an uncle who heard the story, and he still asks me where the fried chicken's at every time I see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Cat Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 You racist bastard! Oh and BTW it's y'all gots out back on da ice. I wish there was a way for me to post an email I received about a year and a half ago. Have you guys seen this? The Wal-Mart cake? It's a picture of a cake and on it, written in icing, it says: Best Wishes Suzzane Under Neat That We Will Miss You. Included with the email is the hypothetical phone conversation that led to the aforementioned cake message: Walmart Employee: "Hello 'dis Walmarts, how can I help you?" Customer: "Yes, I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week." Walmart Employee: "Whatchu want on da cake?" Customer: "Best Wishes Suzanne." And underneath that "We will miss you".

BLZFAN4LIFE Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Al Sharpton will be involved in this situation. Depriving the masses of fried chicken? Surely that's a civil rights violation. After All, this is America and we have the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of fried chicken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINK The best ones are when the writing on the cake is done by computer so it writes whatever you type in. I've seen pics of some of them somewhere, I'll try to look them up.

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I feel their pain! They never ate my in-law's house, they would have been conditioned in "portion control!" My mother-in-law: "What do you want? Chicken, Pork, or Beef" Answer: "Beef." My Mother-in-law: "Sorry, I don't have Beef." Answer: "Okay, then the pork." My Mother-in-law: "Sorry, no pork either." Answer: "Then why did you give me a choice?" My Mother-in-law: "I was hoping you would say chicken." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
