Why would you put energy into hating someone after your relationship with that person has ended?

That's a good point. All my bastard exs have either moved far away or are now completely ignorant of where I am so I'm happy.

What can be said? I mean, if she was the town whore and got spread like cream cheese on a hot day, then I'd understand some bitterness, sure.

I rarely waste time hating my exs.

I have had to file a restraining order though.

The opposite of love is indifference, not hate.  If you hate your ex, then you never really loved that person.

Indeed.  I don't hate my ex.  I hate what he did.  And I hate the fact that he'll never ever make it up to me because he's deceased.  I think he wanted to and that gives me some comfort, whenever I waste time thinking about it.

But I try not to waste too much time thinking about it because that's time I could be focusing on Enrique and how happy he makes me and thinking about new ways to make him happy.

Yeah, hate's a waste of time.  It drains you of all that is good.

 Shift change? 40 minutes? What, did they fire the whole store and re-hire?

I couldn't hate people at a McD drive through.  I definitely pity them though.

First off, they were pretending they didn't hear whatever noise they hear when someone pulls up to the menu outside. After I drove around, the one person "working" told me about the shift change. My guess is he was just being lazy or didn't want to make the food himself.

The problem in Wichita, KS is that they are all privately owned by someone who doesn't care about stuff like this. Not only will they pull this "closed" or "cash only" crap on you, they also don't have the double cheeseburger on the dollar menu! :x

must . . stop . . fast food . . expectations . .

Back when I was working at Der Wienerschniztel, we used to pull crap off like this all the time. If we weren't in the mood to work, we'd pretty much close the place down and sit on our collective asses and bullshit for a few hours. Looking back now, it was not the correct thing to do at all. Even if was Easter and we had to come in to work.

not all mcdonald's are like that. granted most are. there is one 5 minutes from my house with terrible, inefficient, impolite service. but i choose to drive 15 minutes to get to the one i work at. its smaller but much better service. not everyone is great but for the most part we get paid to work so we work. i just have to complain about the people who spend half an hour sitting at the order board deciding what they want and back up the whole line making other people wait. polite customers get polite service. rude assholes get rude asshole service.

I like the McDs close to my house. They all know me, too, so they take care of me; like the extra apple pie (free!) I didnt ask for ("since ya had to wait"); one girl will shovel the fries in the fry..cup...thingy- and then splash another half a scoop in the bag ( I had told her one time their fries were the best ); they found out that the three extra regular cheeseburgers I get are usually for my three dogs; so a lot of times (not always) they don't show up on the receipt. :-)
   They've also saved oatmeal raisin cookies for me; instead of leaving them out "on display" to be sold.

i bet your'e a polite customer, some manners go a long way to minimum wage workers. i don't give a damn if mcdonald's makes an extra dime but if a customer is nice and pleasant then i see to it that they get the same treatment
