正在创建课程...
1
One time, me and a group of buddies were driving through Texas, and we passed a building that looked like the Whataburger corporate office.
2
Just to be sure, I checked my phone and discovered, yeah, we did just drive past the Whataburger corporate office.
3
But what I found interesting was that the building had hundreds of one -star reviews.
4
After some investigation, I found that these reviews weren't coming from the Whataburger corporate staff.
5
No, these reviews were from once -loyal customers, who in one way or another had a negative experience at a Whataburger, and we're going to take this issue to the top.
6
Reading people's wordy laments about their terrible fast food experiences has become a hobby of mine.
7
And it's not just Whataburger.
8
Every fast food corporate office has hundreds of one -star reviews.
9
These people have been wronged by a billion -dollar company, and the only way they can get back at them is calling them stupid.
10
The team at Blah Blah Blah have no intelligence whatsoever ever.
11
I ordered three large lemonades, and all three spilled in the inside of my car because the cup holder was way too flimsy.
12
I told the manager named Josh, and all he said he could do was say he's sorry.
13
Sorry isn't going to clean up the mess caused by their stupidity!
14
This guy spilled three lemonades all over his car, and instead of going, ah,
15
I'm so stupid, he went, Ah, Josh is stupid.
16
This just goes to show that you could do your job perfectly and still have angry customers.
17
Also, what did you expect Josh to do?
18
Hey, I just spilled all that lemonade you gave me in that cup holder.
19
Oh my goodness, how could I be so stupid?
20
I forgot to turn off spill mode.
21
Bring your car out back and I'll get a straw and then I'll suck it dry.
22
No need to thank me.
23
That's what fast food employees are for.
24
I can't talk about fast food without bringing up a small local sandwich shop in my area.
25
So here are some of my favorite one -star Sua Boy reviews.
26
We went to the location and blah, blah, blah.
27
We had 30 minutes to close.
28
I know, sucks, but there was a huge regional wrestling match and there were some starving boys.
29
I walked in and let them know we had 20 sandwiches to order.
30
We didn't have crazy expectations.
31
Substituting meat, forget tomatoes if you're out.
32
We don't need toasted let's just feed these boys.
33
Nine sandwiches in, the sweetest girl who was making our food said her manager said, shut it down.
34
And they're not making the rest of the order.
35
The manager had the employee in tears and nine boys didn't get food.
36
I was mind blown.
37
We offered big tips, gave free oil changes to employees working hard to make money.
38
I run a mechanic shop and stay late for customer a lot.
39
We didn't have crazy expectations.
40
We just wanted a whole catering order 30 minutes before close.
41
I know some people are going to be thinking you're a business that's still open
42
so you have to do what the customer says.
43
But I want those same people to ask their mother to make them 20 sandwiches at 9 30 p .m
44
and let me know what she says.
45
And if those nine boys were still upset they should have just suplexed the manager into a table
46
and then made the cold cut combo themselves.
47
I placed an order online for two foot longs.
48
I walked in to pick up my order, and I was thankful I didn't leave a tip.
49
I received one foot long, but ordered two.
50
It is very clear on the receipt that was attached to the package.
51
I showed it to the woman working behind the counter, and she laughed and said, oh, I didn't see that.
52
Let me get that for you.
53
Not sure why she missed that has never happened to me before.
54
Is she on something, or does she not know how to read English?
55
I had to stand there and wait for her to make the other foot long, and then this person continues to write a whole 500 -word manifesto.
56
Are they on drugs?
57
Can they read English?
58
Jeez.
59
Do you think this reviewer is going to tell their grandkids about this story?
60
And then I had to stand next to the sneeze guard for two minutes.
61
Okay, grandma, can we go?
62
And they forgot the mayo.
63
There are a whole bunch of lengthy reviews just like this.
64
And for these types of reviews, I like start thinking about these people psychologically.
65
I feel like these people either have something else going on or nothing else going on.
66
I'm sorry that your lunch was ruined, but if this is the biggest problem in your life, you're doing all right.
67
And maybe this wouldn't have happened if you left a tip.
68
I went to the location at blah, blah, blah.
69
The guy Frank there needs to take some customer service classes.
70
He is not friendly, and when I told him he should be more friendly to his customers, he told me to go ahead and call whoever I wanted to complain.
71
Frank, I love you.
72
You don't to take customer service classes you need to be
73
teaching them idk who was working at around 9 45 on may 17th
74
but somebody needs to give them a hug i pull up to the window to pay
75
and there was three girls standing there doing nothing.
76
One of them mumbled my total and stuck out her hand.
77
I gave her my card, and she did her thing.
78
Then she handed me a crumpled mess of a bag and two drinks with, like, zero ice.
79
No have a nice night, no thanks for stopping in, not even a hello.
80
IDK if all three of those girls lives together and somebody ran over their dog or something.
81
But all three of them looked like they absolutely hated being there, and me ordering my meal was the biggest inconvenience they could have experienced.
82
I feel so bad for these workers, they need a hug, but also screw them one star.
83
I can't believe this McDonald's took my review down, but that's okay, I will recite it.
84
They had no barbecue sauce for their nuggets the whole Memorial Day weekend, for all you barbecue sauce lovers out there.
85
When you went to this location on any of those days
86
and asked for barbecue sauce and you were told they didn't have any more, you must have felt crushed like I did.
87
Like, what was the point of ordering nuggets and finding out they didn't have barbecue sauce afterwards?
88
Why didn't they disclose that fact before ordering the nuggets and paying for it?
89
I'll tell you why.
90
Because they wanted to take advantage of us just to get that sale.
91
What, the employees do take the barbecue sauce to their homes to use for their own Memorial Day weekend barbecues?
92
This is one memorable, unfavorable moment that will be remembered for years to come.
93
You know, there are many who are barbecue sauce lovers out there
94
that went through the same feeling I did
95
when I ordered three 20 -piece nuggets just to find out afterwards they didn't have any barbecue sauce.
96
Like if you agree.
97
I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but do you think they're out of barbecue sauce because the world's number one barbecue sauce lover keeps ordering there?
98
Going through all the trouble to write a review and then recite the review again, all because they were out of barbecue sauce, seems like a lot.
99
But 60 nuggets with no sauce on a national holiday is a tragedy, I'll give you that.
100
I love that this guy didn't even consider
101
that they were just out of sauce
102
and instead went full conspiracy mode thinking the employees were hoarding the sauce for their own barbecue.
103
You gotta have barbecue sauce for your barbecue.
104
It's in the name.
105
I'm not going to act like every fast food restaurant is in the right all the time
106
because I've had my fair share of terrible fast food experiences too.
107
I once ordered a burger from Sonic and they gave me the burger with no meat.
108
And I went, dang, well, that's how my day is going to go, I guess.
109
I didn't write a lengthy review to hopefully be seen by someone at corporate.
110
I don't know.
111
I, like, I got other problems.
112
If reading these reviews has taught you anything, it's that these fast food workers have to deal with all sorts of customers going through all sorts of problems.
113
So please be the customer who shows a little compassion.
114
They are handling your food, after all.
115
Leave a like if you agree.
116
My child works for Whataburger, hasn't been paid since December 2nd, today is 1 -4 and still no paychecks.
117
We've been told lies, saying paycheck is coming to the store, then FedEx is delivering it, and still nothing.
118
He's only 18, so I feel like they're trying to get over on him.
119
Not to mention the shift manager Liz is having an affair with some of the employees.
120
Yo, what?
121
A burger?
122
Thank you all for watching the video.
123
If you enjoyed it, then I highly recommend reading some of these corporate office fast food reviews yourself.
124
They're a real treat to read, just some of the passion that these people have needs to be studied.
125
Obviously, not everyone who leaves a one -star review is an obnoxious Karen, but the ones who go out of their way to review a corporate office are some of my favorites.
126
Thanks again for watching, and wear your seatbelt.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
