We're now all used to video calls in which "I love you" and "I miss you" are batted back-and-forth like cupid's shuttlecocks, but what to do if you're craving a good, ol' fashioned insult?
Thankfully, Wiener’s Circle, Chicago’s famed hot dog joint known not only for char dogs and cheese fries, but also for vulgar late-night insults from its sassy staff, has got your back.
As promoted in this hilarious spot from agency Quality Meats, the food vendor is now offering up Curbside Abuse - allowing customers to order virtually face-to-face with its foul-mouthed staff by Facetiming the number 773-BITCHES, or, by adding 'curbside abuse' to the order on Tock, Grubhub or UberEats, a free profanity-laced earlashing of your choice when you pick up the order.
“Shit’s so fuckin’ weird in the world right now, and people seem to miss the everyday normal shit they used to do. Like yelling at us to get a fuckin’ hot dog. And I miss yelling at their motherfuckin' ugly-ass faces too,” says long-time employee Poochie Jackson.
“People just want something to smile about. And apparently hearing us call them yuppy-ass bitches makes ‘em smile. Even though you can’t see their fuckin’ mouths behind their masks,” said manager Evelyn Morris.
Irreverent and genuinely chucklesome, the spot and service it extols also helps fight the good fight, with the shop matching all sales with a donation to both the Chicago Community Covid-19 Response Fund and the Chicago Black-Owned Restaurant Relief Fund.
