D'Angelo's? He vows never again

Beetle discovers that to get the "free" drink he allegedly won with one of those Big Papi scratch tickets, he would have to buy something:
... So I ripped my Big Papi scratch card in half in front of (Mindless Counter Lady) and told her she can keep it because I will never be back. ...

He showed her!
The counter person didn't make the rules on the scratch ticket. I don't have a ticket in front of me, but I imagine it says that you need to buy something. Perhaps it is misleading, but God forbid Beetle take responsibility for not reading the ticket in full. If I were the counter person, I would hope Beetle keeps his promise and not return to my store. Real classy calling a person who makes $7.50 an hour "mindless". She probably has a lot more important things on her mind (like making rent) than Beetle's free $1.50 drink!
Wah wah wah.
Wah wah wah.
BLOW ME tblade.
I didn't say I blamed MCL, it is obviously not her fault.
The rant is against D'angelo's terrible sandwhich shops and their faux "promotion".
I am also sure that somewhere on the card the rules where present... in 1 point font illegible to the human eye.

"So, instead of being a jerk and walking to the front of the counter and demanding my free drink, I actually wait in line again to get my prize"
Wow, you really deserve credit on this one. Actually waiting in line! Who does that? I appologize for making any comment against someone who actually waited in line. We should all learn from this shining example of civility.
You didn't say that you blamed MCL, but the ripping of the ticket was directed at MCL. Sure, this could have been handled better by D'Angelo's, but taking it out on the couter person solves nothing and will only reinforce in her head the idea that customers who act like jack-asses don't deserve good service.
As for your request, I don't think UH is the proper forum for that. Perhaps you should troll craigslist (NSFW): http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/m4m/201261505.html
Hey Tblade,
Hey Tblade,
I think you ten minute break is over.
Time to get back to the drive through window.
Classy.
It appears you're using trying to insult someone by implying that the person is a foodservice worker.
If this is indeed the case, it speaks much worse of you than of Tblade. I presume you do, in fact, consume food. Our society needs all types.

Informative, though
It does help to show why Beetle was so dismissive and rude toward the person working the counter at D'Angelo's. If he thinks that working a drive-in window is an insult, then it's no surprise that he acted that was to the D'Angelo's worker and then tried to justify that he didn't blame her.
Whatever you say Geeka

Wow.
Every post you make convinces me that you're more and more mature, logical, credible...

The tickets don't say you have to buy anything
And the incompetent employee at the D'Angelo's on Canal Street repeatedly gives me a free sandwich AND A NEW SCRATCH TICKET when I redeem mine. (I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to get a new scratch ticket, because, uh, duh.) A couple of weeks ago I got a total of five sandwiches for my $3.79 or whatever.

Incompetent?
Or perhpas s/he just likes you? Maybe s/he is hooking you up because you treat that person well when you come in for a sandwich?
Hmm...
I really like your positive way of looking at it. Sincerely.
But I doubt that's it -- I've admittedly been pretty rude to her on, well, most of the occasions that she's screwed up my order and then been rude to me about it.
It's actually kind of comical. About once a week (usually when my job has free D'Angelo coupons), I go in and ask for "a 6-inch sub with provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, mayo, and nothing else." She insists "oh, you gotta order a salad sub," which is not listed on their menu, then she hits "SAL" which comes up on the receipt as "SAL SUB" and results in there being salami on my sub. I then tell her I didn't order salami, she agrees that I ordered a "salad sub," so it doesn't have salami on it, I show her the fucking salami on my sub, and she gets really confused and yells at the people making the subs while they try to explain to her what the "SAL" button means.
I now try to avoid the place when she's working because I'd just prefer not to have this interaction.

What are you, communist?
Not eating meat! That is so un-American. I would expect nothing less from a foreign-bread radical such as your self. ;)
Foreign bread?
I get my bread right here in Boston, thank you!

No French Bread?
Damn. I hate people that are smarter than me. Needless to say, there are a lot of people I hate!
You scratched Big Papi?
Now we know the real reason he's having heart palpitations.
