The Scrappy Frog

Well, since the last post, I have removed the part of the dress on the left hand side of the wedding photo and have begun to play with color! It's been fun but frustrating. I tend to have a heavy hand in real life and that's showing up in the restoration and coloring. Interesting, since it's a digital brush. So now I'm learning to let up a little, digitally speaking!

Okay, now to life in general. Has anyone noticed how service at most fast food joints has deteriorated? And heaven forbid you should wish to speak to the manager. They're just KIDS. Went to a MickyD's today...one with the double drive thru. The other car was first and they took his order. He goes ahead and I wait my turn. The next car drives up and they take his order!!! Completely skipped me. So here I am, yelling hello into my speaker and being ignored. Two more cars drive thru (course I'm kinda stuck, but finally figured out how to get out). There were no cones, no signs, nothing to tell me that that driveway wasn't being used. So, I stop and go inside. The "server" grunts something at me and I ask to talk to the manager. The manager is mixing a drink, turns and looks at me, says nothing and completes the drink, giving it to the person who ordered. Okay, except for no acknowledgement, we're still good. Then she proceeds to take the next order, instead of telling the grunter to handle them. So I "reminded" her that I had asked to speak with her. She said that she knew that but wanted to handle these customers first. I said that's what I wanted to talk about...the terrible service in the drive thru, that I had not had my order taken while 3 other cars had....she mumbles, "I'm sorry" and continues with the order!!!! I'm appalled!!! Whatever happened to customer service!!! She couldn't have been more than 22 so I'm sure she has no idea what that is. Needless to say, an email has been shot off to corporate. This MickeyD's is notorious for poor service, but it's close to work, and thus available.

Well, thanks for listening to me gripe. Gonna try to get some sleep before going to work.
