Headed out Sunday morning to look at a couple Jeeps the girlfriend was interested in. Dealerships are closed on Sunday here, so we could look hassle free. Stopped at Panera for a couple breakfast wraps. Two bites in, and I hit the wax paper the ingredients were on. Walked back in and said " I asked for no tomato, I guess I should have asked for no paper too".  They apologized and quickly made a new wrap.

Saturday I stopped at the apartment complex office to get some touch up paint for the townhouse I'm moving out of.

Me: Hi (holds up paint bucket I purchased from Home Depot) I'd like some touch up paint.
Office person: Blank stare
Me: I'm in 311 B
OP: Ok, which apartment?
Me: 311 B, it's a townhouse towards the back of the complex
OP: Oh. Ok. What's the building number?
Me: 311
Maintenance guy enters office
OP: Hey, can you get some touch up paint?
Maintenance Guy: Sure, what apartment
OP: Blank stare
Me: 311, B
Maintenance Guy: I'm only here for an hour, but ill bring it over before I leave
Me: Great, just leave it in the apartment, we're heading out.
Maintenance Guy: What is the apartment number?
Me: 311, B
Maintenance Guy: 320?
Me: No, 311 B
OP: I'll write it down
Me: It's one of the townhouses in the back of the complex
OP: What's the apartment number?
Me: 311, B
OP: Ok, do you want the paint in the bucket?

Paint isn't there when I get back. Return to the office Sunday at 11 when the office opens and pretty much have to repeat prior conversation.

This is just typical of 80% of my interactions with people in customer service.

Please tell me I'm not attracting this sort of stupidity.

only food I ever sent back was when my wife had chicken and part way through, she realized it was still raw in the middle.

Funny, that place is no longer there.  Sad how quickly it went downhill from a great family spot to dozed dirt.

A Salmonella outbreak can have that effect on a restaurant.

Lower education standards so that more kids graduate is the ticket.
