“The two orders in front of you, yours and the two orders behind you were all for a 20 piece bucket of chicken, I’m Gonna Be Completely Out Of Chicken!”
These words came hurdling out of a smiling face, lurking behind an outstretched hand poised to rake in more money at Kentucky Fried Chicken’s Drive through window. What do you suppose he expected me to do, unload a pig as a backup? I suppose he could have changed the KFC sign temporarily to DBCGWH (Don’t Be Chicken, Go Whole Hog!)
Or, he might not of had any plan except to say “Hi, drive on by!” to those customers that have always taken fried chicken for granted.
Then I started to imagine what his manager is gong to do when he gets interrupted by the telephone with, “We have a small problem down at the store!”
It’s nigh impossible to gallop to the coop and quickly butcher more chickens when you’re running out of time, this is one instance when you should have started running when you were still in time.
A sign, “Everything ordered now will be ready for pickup in 24 hrs.” doesn‘t strike me as being very close to the proper solution either. What kind of a sign would you have made if you were the manager? Or what would you do?
“We chickened out and closed early?”
Meanwhile, I’ll keep coaxing my treadmill powered scooter uphill!
