Figured I'd put em out there and see if they drive anyone else nuts.
Upsell pitches; especially ones that include the word "kicker".
For example i was ordering some hot wings from Domino's. They come with a ranch sauce, the girl asked if that was all and i replied yes. And then she asks me "would you like to add a kicker ranch?"
A brief pause ensued while i gathered my shit and i replied simply "no"
What i wanted to say was. "No i dont.. As evident by me not asking you for it. If I wanted one I probably would have fucking asked. Right. Right.
And what is up with the use of the word "kicker" to describe an additional product. Some upsell marketing bullshit thats not even being used in the correct manner. Kicker can be used to describe an additional outboard motor but not any product you so choose. What is wrong with the word extra, or additional.
And it's everywhere, you go to a restaurant and order a margarita and the dumb shit blonde waitress ask you "do you want to add a kicker shot". Did I tell you to make it strong, did I ask you to also bring me a shot? No. How about I add a kick you in the pussy for asking me stupid questions with words that don't exist.
And now even when you go to McDonalds and you're done with your order the person behind the counter asks you "do you want to add a 4 piece nugget". Holy shit you guys sell chicken nuggets!!? I had no idea! If I knew you guys sold chicken nuggets I probably would have ordered them. Thanks for asking. At least he didn't ask me "do you want to add a four piece kicker nugget"
And it's getting so bad now they even do it at the drive thru with a pre recorded medsage " as soon as you pull up you get some incredibly professional sounding female voice that askes you "hi would you like to try one of our delicious chicken value meals" immediately followed by some shreck sounding mumbling bafoon saying "go ahead when you're ready." And I'm sitting there like, wait a minute, did I just have to listen to a fucking commercial before ordering my food.
And why is this only acceptable in the food service industry. You don't go to sears and buy a saw and the person ask you "would you like to add some kicker blades to your saw purchase? Or. Do you want a socket wrench with that?
Sheesh! Just stop it!
