I realise the fast food/chain food businesses aren't particularly well-earning jobs, but it would be nice if they didn't hire complete fucking morons. It's on par with having people who can barely speak English managing the drive-thru.

We usually get pizza from Papa Johns. We don't like the local joint's pizza, and our local Pizza Hut doesn't have chicken as a pizza topping, plus often the PJ's pizza is tastier than PH. We generally order online, and it should definitely be done by the time I arrive there to pick it up (we live in the delivery black hole). However, there's nearly always some kind of issue, no matter how minor. Either it's not done yet (and I definitely don't arrive before the supposed 20 odd minutes it'll take to get ready), or they forget something... like today's order of cheese sticks, which I waited way too long for. And sometimes you just end up home and  look into your box to notice they've either left out a topping altogether (like anchovies on Kreestof's half of a pizza I got a few weeks back) or they just ignore the directions you gave to have mushrooms on only one half, and pineapple on the other half and then you find both on a slice.

Today I blame the stupid dipshit behind the counter. You could just tell she was a dumb bitch from looking at her. As I was waiting for them to make our cheesesticks, some guy walked in to pick up his pizzas. I don't know what exactly he ordered, but I know one of them was supposed to have lots of veggie stuff on it, with the exception of black olives and fresh tomatoes. The dipshit was like "oh yes, I have your large beef and your large cheese pizzas ready". I've no idea which one was the screw-up, but neither beef or cheese really come close to veggies.

Last time at least, when they screwed up with Kreestof's anchovies, they did give us a free large pepperoni pizza, because we'd also had to wait once we got there to pick up the pizza. So that was nice enough.

Gah!

Sometimes news sites really suck.

CNN's main page news remains about the earthquake and subsequent tsunamis, which, with a currently projected death toll of 60,000 people is not surprising. However, under their "More News" header is a link to CNN affiliate Sports Illustrated's article "Swimsuit model survives tsunami". Because yeah, that's just so important in comparison.

Giving it a quick look over, yeah, it's sad her boyfriend is still missing, but the fact that that story warrants a front page mention on CNN is ridiculous. They had a similarly ridiculous story article on CNN the other day too, about some interior decorator who occasionally appears on Oprah fucking Winfrey, who also happened to be in Thailand. Once again, it's sad his friend is missing, but that all kind of pales in comparison to the complete carnage that's been inflicted, wiping out entire villages and towns at a time. But maybe a semi-famous person's face on top of a story helps make it more... real?

Some people's priorities are completely screwy.
