The Nest’s Top 10 List

Esteemed Guests of the Nest
I Was FIRST!
I was First Commenter on Sammy’s Teaser of 6/14/16. It's mine, mine, MINE... and nobody can ever take it from me!
Your internet expert on xxxxxxxxxxxl!
4,107 searches (and counting) can't be wrong! We are your destination on the Web when you want to search for the bizarre term of "xxxxxxxxxxxl"
The actual Heimlich maneuver poster is a nice touch! 🙂
Yes! It wasn’t what I was looking for (There was a CHOKING poster with some blue faced guy holding his neck that seemed like it was in every fast food restaurant when I was a kid), but in lieu of the blue man, it worked out just fine! I think we had that one hanging in our grade school cafeteria…
This was great, ES. I hate places like that…always trying to sell you something you don’t want. LOL
I remember one place I ate at where I was a regular, and they all knew what I wanted already when I came in… the lady at the register went through the whole rigamarole not too much unlike what I outlined above. Then afterwards, quietly motioned her head towards the back and said they had a big shot boss from corporate in so she had to try to pitch the “add ons” to me in case he was within earshot. I’d have gladly told the big boss to shove his hot apple pies he was trying to pawn off on unsuspecting customers up his own piehole…
It’s all about the money, ES. Those pies are fucking good, though.
So Ronald always said…. but what were they made of? I vote for Grimace’s guts…
I love Grimace, so purple and fluffy. But he wasn’t always like that, originally he was a real douchebag.
Did you remember that from my McDonaldland post? I miss his four arms and milkshake fetish….
Yes! Scaring the shit out of kids since back in the day.
I am super picky about what “fast” food places I go to anymore, precisely because of shit like this.
I don’t understand why people as a whole put up with this kind of overly aggressive sales tactic. Electronics stores are the absolute worst… I won’t even go in one anymore because it’s impossible not to get hounded. Maybe that’s why I’m such a Luddite…
I do most of my shopping for stuff like that online, for precisely that reason.
Oh they are like our phone company, my dad came home with 3 brandnew white phones as he visited their crib to pick up the data cable he forgot as he bought a black phone. but the idea with a free toy is not bad, think I would buy my food there :o)
Yep, see my comment above. I’d rather live in the Dark Ages than enter the high pressure sales world of the electronics store…
the worst is that those phones are made in hell, they are totally crap. but I’m afraid when I send him to take it back, he comes home with 6 new dump-phones :o)
Maybe they have some value as a chew toy?
I would laugh if this weren’t the damned truth.
It is. Just take my fucking order and be done with it…
Is riding the unicorn like riding the lightning?
Yes, only much, much more exciting. Plus, you get a balloon…
Well, the balloon totally makes it worthwhile. Where do I sign up?
Just complete the survey on the back of your receipt and tell us about your experience here at The Nest. We only throw away the negative entries…
Oh…
Well that explains why you haven’t gotten any of my previous entries…
Well, to be fair, nobody is entered into the unicorn ride contest yet. Coincidentally, I need to empty out my wastebasket right now….
I do so love coincidences.
The best! The worst offender is the place I frequent on my midnight drives. At 1
AM I want in and out. I don’t want to be peppered with “this for a dollar more”. They can’t even make my burger fries order fast. Gah.
Geez, why would they even try to push extra sales at 1 in the morning!? At that time, they should just be thankful there are people giving them business!
No I don’t want fries with that, but if I did, you would be the first person I would tell!
LOL, that’s a great comeback for that line! I’d use it, if it weren’t for the fact that I always get fries with that! 😉
Wouldn’t it be great to walk into one of these places one day and just buy what we want, no questions asked? I am tempted to buy a “crappy meal” to get my free weird-looking new-age MLP though.
I’d buy one just for the poneh and then tell them to feed the possums with the nasty food!
Love that the server is playing solitare.
Gotta keep busy while aggravating the customer!
