Drive-thru incident...

Tonight I had the pleasure of doing drive-thru with Mr. Quaid... Recently I discovered that there is a little switch in the headset controller box that activates the loop detector with no car present at the speaker. When other people are doing headset I often flip the switch to confuse the hell out of the person because no matter what happens when the loop detector activates it transmits the "Ding" to all the headsets which tells the order-taker to do their job. Activating the switch can give the order taker "phantom" cars. I did this to Quaid twice tonight... to get him a little confused... Then when a car did rock up and I was standing next to the switch he assumed that he didn't need to take the order... he thought it was a phantom. I promptly told him... "Quaid, take the order, there's actually a car at the box." To which he says "Come on, I'm not falling for that one..." I tell him again... He holds down A and transmits the following to the orderbox, not knowing that there's actually a car there: "Whoever it is out there: FUCK OFF!" The customer hearing this immediatly inquired to what the hell he had just said. To which he fell on the floor laughing... That problem took a lot of explaining to get rid of...
