Why are they intent on messing orders up?

Yesterday: My dad brought home BLT's. I asked for no mayonaise. I get mayonaise.

Today:My dad brought home a beef-and cheddar sandwich. I asked for sweet peppers. I don't get sweet peppers. I get no peppers at all.

AARRGGH!

Ain't that the truth.

I don't understand it.

I heard this on an episode of COPS:

"You know what they say about the Drive-thru?"

"Always Go Inside."

Probably the worst is at Burger King and Mickey D's.

Last week my mom was at the dr-t at a Mickey D's and the idiot at the dr-t dropped her change.

It's usually some 17 year old kid who's more interested in getting into the waitresses apron than making your order correctly.

Whenever I order "no mayo", I make sure to say it 2 or 3 times and then ask them to tell me what I ordered. It sounds condescending, but if I don't do that, 50% of the time they'll put mayo on.

Lately I've been checking my order before I drive off. 90% of the time they forget to put an item in the bag, but they don't forget to make you pay for it

It seems to be better on weekends here, when parttime students are behind the counter instead of the regulars...

I mean when you go inside to avoid the madness at the drive thru.

I went to Nebraska once to my sister's college. A McD's in Lincoln Nebraska had a drive thru where you conducted all the business at the window.

" At the restaurant I’m at now we have something called a wing
hunt. When a customer orders say 12 wings and we only have 11 we go on
a wing hunt. (Look under stations etc. for a dropped wing and pop
it in the microwave and wola we got 12). Its sounds bad but when we do
it our entire kitchen staff is in hysterics its pretty funny. Most of
us smoke so we try to get the orders out as fast as possible so we can
take smoke breaks. If we didn’t do the hunt, we would have to wait 8
minutes for wings to cook and in the time a rush could happen then we
might not be able to smoke for another 3 hours… "

I very rarely have to worry about it. I do not eat fast food, except for the Venison, Dove, Quail and other Fleet of hoof and winged type. Every once in a while I am forced to grab some pizza or tacos, Etc.

Yeah, we either asked where he lived or the name of the restaurant (it was in Ohio somewhere). One member said "Hey, I know that place!" and I guess the thread was printed out and shown to the restaurant's manager.

What pisses me off here in Taiwan is that they NEVER can comprehend the difference between Diet Coke (or "Coke Lite" as they call it here) and the sugared crap.

Me: "Diet Coke".
Idiot: "gah?"
Me: "Coke Lite. Lite. LITE." (pointing to it on the counter menu)
Idiot: "Ah! Dei, dei. Dite Coke."
Me: (look at receipt, it says "Coke Lite")
Idiot: (goes up to soda machine, fills cup with sugared Coke)
Me: (walk behind counter, dump cup into sink, fill it with Diet Coke)
Idiot: "gah? Ooooo! Dite Coke! Solly, solly!"

It never, ever, EVER fails.

Depends on the location. My hometown Mickey D's is staffed by a bunch of idiots. The Taco Bell & KFC are even worse. The Mickey D's near my new place is probably the best I've ever seen re not fvcking up your order. Sonic is probably the best, at least you're parked & have time to check it without some impatient fast food junkie honking at you for holding up the drivethru line. Sonic also isn't skimpy with the condiments or napkins.

I didn't know till last month that they had Circle K out in the Midwest. I went down to East Peoria (IL) for a College Bowl tournament and there was a BP with a Circle K. I thought they had them only out west.
