Quite hard it seems.

While I was in the Mall today I decided to grab some lunch as a little treat.

Off I went to a well know fast food joint and placed my order.

Do you want the original? yes I replied

Do you want to supersize? No I replied

Do you want fries? Then I repeated my whole order and said yes I want fries with that

For gods sake I just want my lunch, when she said how much it was the alarm bells started to ring, I thought she made an error, maybe she had superzied my order. Not wanting to get her into trouble I just put the change in my pocket and waited.


Anyway the order came and she had included poutine as my fries order, that's a damn meal in itself.

I looked at it then looked at her and said whats this Poutine she says, I said I said all I wanted was fries.

She told me to wrap it up for later I said well you placed my order wrong! I was starting to get annoyed by this.

I repeated again and said I didn't want it, all I wanted was fries. The manager came over asked the employee if she had asked me for poutine and she said yes. I then said no I didn't! How am I going to eat all this by myself? She then informs me that they don't normally refund food and what I had ordered would have to go in the bin I never asked for it!

I stood my ground and in the end they gave me my fries and refunded the difference. They wanted my signature and my phone number, I signed it then informed them I was on holiday and don't live here I know, but I don't want them having my number.

Why do they ask all these damn questions, I told them what I wanted its so annoying.

well thank God, at least it wasn't the US.

I don't think you can get poutine here. You can get poontang, but that's a whole different subject.

I didn't know what it was until today.

Very odd, a mixture of fries, sloppy gravy and chicken

Had to look up poutine, now I want some cheese curds (you can't buy them here).

So you didn't give them your number?

This is possibly the most interesting thread since the 'I pulled something that grows out of the earth to make soup and there was dirt in it' thread

No, I don't understand why they would need it.



I take it this isn't a compliment.

Cassie...I think this thread should have been posted in the Maple Leaf.

Probably so corporate could call you and reimbur$e you for your trouble. It's pretty standard in situations like this. You're SOL now.

Do you think I would get more sympathy

I didn't make an error, I did post it in the lounge.

Most of the folk in The Lounge are from the US...they tend not to be too bothered about what happens in Canada.

Nope, they did refund me.

Next time I'll speak up when I notice something isn't right, but I hate complaining.

Not a chance.

I'm sure they care about their neighbours..........reallly.

Ooh look! Another Richmond Hill poster!
