I would like a smile with my Hamburger

I just went to the bank to make a deposit and decided to go get a hamburger instead of eating a frozen dinner today. The drive through was packed so I went inside. There was one guy who had already ordered and me.
The young girl behind the counter axed me "whut you want"?
I answered " a big bacon classic combo with a coke to go please"
She said " And"??? (sounded more like UUUUNNDD though)
I said " that's it"
She said " WHUT U WANT TO DRANK????" she replied rudely and incoherently
I figured that the hula hoop in her ears may have messed up the poor things hearing, so I said again politely " a coke please"
At this point I had no idea what the bill was so I was waiting to have her tell me, instead she turned around and walked to the counter behind her for something. It was a distance of about 4 feet but it took her at least 2 minutes to cover the distance. She came back and looked at me like I had just shot her dog and called her a bad name.
She stuck her hand out ( with really pretty nails about a foot long I might add), and just stared at me like I had just peed on the floor.
I asked " how much do I owe you"? She pointed at the cash register read out that was facing her and rolled her eyes,
I said, " there isn't a screen over here."
She then said FIVE FIFDY!!!! and I thought the nails might get me as she waved the hand at me. ( I got another eye roll also for free)
I gave her my twenty and she stared at the register for a while until it said what change to give. She then handed me a bunch of ones with about 3 dollars in pennys on top which the nails caught as she slamed it into my hand, the pennys fell on the counter.
She then began the journey to the back counter again. ( my food had been sitting there a while ) she made it back in about a minute and a half this time, that is pretty good for a distance like four feet.
I got my food then I waited for a while on my coke, Oh I almost forgot she didn't even look at me when she handed me the food, I then said " can I have my drink please"
she said " somebody else got to get that I busy" ( there was no one there), The manager came by and handed me a coke finally and ran back in the kitchen.
I asked the girl for some ketchup, and she threw it at me and I left.
Would it be to much for us to ask for better service? I just wanted to snatch her across the counter and slap her up side the head. It isn't your job to like your job, but it is part of your job to act like you like your job. Could they not find anyone else to hire that would be more personable? I will never be going back there again. If I wanted to be treated like I would go eat lunch at the prison.
My five fifty paid for 1 hours worth of her pay, I only took up 15 minutes of her time, if she gave a rats butt about her job it would of only taken about 2 minutes. My five fifty bought her two gallons of gas so she can drive to work and treat me like crap. My five fifty taught me a valuable lesson, if she ever comes to me asking for a job then somebody else got to handle that I busy.
