Today, I accidentally asked the cashier at Wendy's how much their 99 cent chicken nuggets were. I guess he is still laughing at me. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, while working as a cashier at a fast food restaurant, a customer asked me how many chicken nuggets were in our 6 count chicken nuggets. FML
Today, while working at McDonald's, a woman asked me what came on a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit. Trying not to laugh, I respond, "Bacon, egg, and cheese." She then realizes the stupidity of her question, and launches three dollars worth of quarters at my face and says, "Laugh at that, jerk." FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend where he went to lunch. He said he went to Wendy's. I teased him and asked if he got tired of eating burgers and Frosty's all the time. His response? "What? No, I mean at Wendy's. You know, the hot girl from work?" FML
Today, I was hungry and I was trying to buy the cheapest burger at Wendy's, but I'm so broke that I had to call my friends to lend me some money. Ugh. FML
Today, while waiting on a customer at a restaurant, I accidentally asked a midget if she'd like a children's menu. FML
Today, my family asked me to get dinner, as they'd heard a popular seafood chain had chicken baskets for $4 each. I had $15 on me. When I got there, the restaurant staff laughed in my face and insisted they had never, ever had $4 chicken baskets. The alternative? $14 for ONE chicken dinner. FML
Today, while checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML
Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML
Today, I noticed I was overcharged at a fast food place, so I asked the cashier to correct it. He got an attitude, so I asked for the manager. The next thing I know, some dude shoved me, yelling, "Shut the fuck up Karen." I fell and hit my head. People in line laughed and cheered. FML
Today, I was working with the kid I babysit for. We were out and he complained that he was hungry. I spent my very last $2 on chicken nuggets for him and a coffee for myself. Just as I sat down, he knocked over my coffee, spilling it into his chicken nuggets. Then he cried for over an hour. FML

You were probably tired, right? It happens. Once I was on a particularly long shift, and told a customer to, "Have a day!" really cheerfully. I could tell from the look on his face, he thought I was a total airhead.

And when was the war of 1812?

The war of 1812 actually lasted 32 months, from 1812 to 1815, so that question isn't entirely that silly.

True, I suppose it's not. I suppose the question should be "When did the war of 1812 start?"

A good comeback could be that they work at Wendy's

I wouldn't worry about that too much. It happens to everyone.

As a former Wendy's shift leader, let me tell you that you don't even enter into the top 100 stupid questions asked; by customer and coworkers. I once had a coworker ask the drive-thru if it was 'for here or to-go?' and didn't understand why everyone, including the customer, laughed at her. Your silly moment was probably good for a small laugh, but odds are the cashier won't even remember the next time you go in.

I work at a McDonald's , and asked someone in the drive through that same question, but to be fair I usually work front counter and I am used to having to ask that question

That is exactly what happened. She had just been swapped to DT from front counter. We still teased her, but it was in good fun. Working fast food kinda fries your brain.

It does go both ways. I used to work at a fast food restaurant, and sometimes there were customers who ordered their food "to go" at the drive-through. It was probably just out of habit though. Another one of my favorites were the customers who would order something (at the drive-through) and then seem shocked at the price when they pulled up at the window (as if the item's price wasn't on the menu outside), and then drive off.

I guess they don't teach reading in school where you come from

It's ok OP, when I worked fast food I had people come through the Drive-Thru and say their food was to go. My other job I had a coworker who was a twin and I knew that, but saw his brother one day and thought it was my coworker. I said sorry! You look just like your brother. Then I was like DUH! They're twins! Everyone has a brainfart. =)
