Was I actually being difficult with this impatient drive‑thru customer?

[Joe917]

I work drive through at mcdonalds and take cash. There were only a few of us in the kitchen, and we were backed up. This guy pulls up to the window who has probably been waiting a while. All he ordered was a coke. I ask him how he's doing. he's like "good..." I took his cash. Im bad at counting change so I was taking a few seconds. While I was counting his change to give back to him, I ask him if hed like a receipt. He was like "what I'd like is to get my drink so I can go home". I gave him his drink, and said have a nice night. He said nothing, and sped off.

No. It sounds like he was the one being impatient not you. You did nothing wrong!

[Twodogs0525]

He might be used to paying at a first window, then getting his order at the second window. It makes it seem like you're not waiting that long for your actual order. I can't remember the last time I paid for and got my order at the same window.

[Twodogs0525]

But no, I don't think you were being difficult at all.

Assuming you were not counting change for 5 minutes I'd say he was the difficult person here.

[Joe917]

It was more like 5 seconds

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Why do you have issues counting change?

[Joe917]

I never properly learned

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Maybe that’s something you can rectify now that you have a job that requires it, especially if it’s something you’re insecure about

[Joe917]

Im working on it

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Good, keep doing that

Apparently he didn't want a receipt.
