I was flying home from vacation yesterday morning. I was in the Minneapolis airport waiting for my next flight. There was 2 food businesses right next to each other. I walked up to one to place an order-A cinnamon bagel and coffee. I told the guy behind the counter what I wanted. He said “Sorry, all orders have to be made from the touch screen”. OK,well no cinnamon bagel listed on the touchscreen menu, just plain, so I ordered that and my coffee. Paid with my credit card, as they wouldn’t take cash!
So a minute later the guy yells out my order number and says “A plain bagel right?” I said “no, I want cinnamon , but didn’t see that option on the touch screen” He sighed as he had already toasted my plain bagel. So he threw it away and made me a cinnamon. Handed it to me then walked away. I said “Do I get my own coffee, or do you get it for me?” He said coffee doesn’t show up on his order screen, so he didn’t know,the cashier usually gets that for customers. I said “What cashier?” How convenient
The place next door sold smoothies. After my bagel and coffee a smoothie sounded good. (It was a long layover). I figured I’d go right to the touch screen. First one didn’t work, so I tried the one next to it-nope, no worky. I semi sarcastically asked the guy behind the counter if I could just TELL HIM my order. “No, it has to be done through the touch screen”. Sigh. “Do you have a screen that works!?” He informed me the one on the end did. Well, I got the smoothie ordered, and when I went to pay I got a message saying the touch screen is not linked to the credit card swiper. F*** this!
I walked away and sat down and watched person after person walk up and unsuccessfully order anything. The employee never made an attempt to fix the situation or help in any way. Just stood there doing nothing as he had no orders to make.
