Actually, Jeff, it's a line manager position. I've been a software engineer for 22 years (holy SHIT!), but this is my first actual management job.

And, I'm quite sure that the level of my incompetence is so astronomical that there is no level of management at which I cannot succeed.

Today I learned that sometimes, even if you ask for something simple (like a drink) three times, you still don't get it.

Me: Can I get a chicken club wrap and a coke?
Drive-thru Dork: How many club wraps? Do you want something to drink with that?
Me: Just one wrap and a coke please.
DD: Okay drive up...
DD: That's $9.19.
Me: Did you add in the drink?
DD: [ignores me.]

I should've just driven away, but he already had my money.

It comes with a side too - fries, coleslaw...I can never finish the whole thing and always end up bringing some home. But still, an expensive 'fast food' lunch.

Today I learned how I will deal with incompetent employees the next time I'm dissatisfied.

Oh and I don't know why everything comes with coleslaw...I can't think of any other fast food-type place that has it.
