why oh why oh why is it that everytime you go through a drivethrough, they get your order wrong?!

friday - maccy D's.
Was at work and fancied a big mac, took a 10 ppl strong LIST, yes LIST to McD and they took the said LIST and ran it through the till. Paid for everything on the LIST but ended up getting back to work minus 2 burgers :mad:

saturday - BK's
Went to BK today, drove up to the funny mic and the typically spotty 17 yr old does his ten minute intro before asking my order.
"2 XL BK Double cheeseburger meals both with strawberry shakes and a strawberry shake on its own please" (right, now youre all following what i want now right?)
"sorry sir, could you repeat that?" - so me "ditto"
"ok sir that will be £5.80" he says, leaving me puzzling why its so cheap??? so i get to the next window and says - "you have taken for two meals havent you?"
"oh you wanted two meals!!" he says
"yes" i say, "thats why i said TWO meals with a spare shake"
"Oh right" he says, takes my tenner and then proceeds to pour 2 shakes while some other bird goes off and gets the burgers/fries.
So they both come back, he passes me the 2 drinks, she passes me the burgers/fries..... but still no spare shake?

so me says "im still waiting for the third shake?" she says "but you didnt order that (in a typically 17 and bulshy horrid bitchy voice). I say "yes i did and id like a third shake pls" she says "but he hasnt charged you for a third shake" i say "i dont care, ill pay for the third shake, but can i just have it please?" she says " HOOOOOGE SIGH - so why didnt you just say so!!!"

Me gets very very very stressed being condescended to by a spotty 17 year old BK working SLAPPER with an attitude problem who forgets completely the meaning of customer service, especially since id done nothing wrong and had been completely courteous. Que big wheelspin and launch off out of there with a big big temper on:mad:

Why is it that ppl in this world can be so completely stupid and arrogant!!!!!!! I'd vote for a complete sxoc boycott on burger king if it wasnt for the fact that theyre burgers taste soooo goooood

I generally am prepared to put up with any ****ty attitude on the part of staff at fast food establishments, for the following reason.

If you give them any attitude in return, you just don't know what might happen to your food before you get it passed to you through that hallowed window. I saw that "Life of Grime" or whatever it was called on the telly, so just be nice!

Although I do agree fully with what you're saying. How is it that even when these places are deathly quiet they still manage to fook your order up?

After having worked on a drive-thru McD's (yes, I made mistakes too...) I realised there is only one way of getting what you order:

At the first window, check, then double-check your order. Keep going until you get it right, but *don't* get stroppy with them - it only makes them make more mistakes (accidentally or not). Check the receipt before you move forward. *KEEP THE RECEIPT IMMEDIATELY TO HAND*

At the window you get your food, sit there and check it *all* against the receipt before you drive away. Don't take a stupid amount of time, but then again, don't leave until you've got what you ordered. If they tell you to move forward, ignore them. If they persist, tell them you're checking your order. Ignore them if they get stroppy.

The amount of times I've received the wrong order, and checked, as far outweighed the amount of times it's been right. Aside from anything, it's *sooooo* satisfying to turn round to the bolshy little git giving you you food that's been saying 'Come on, move forward!' and say - 'You've forgotten XYZ - here it is on my receipt.' Make *damn* sure you haven't just missed it at the bottom of the bag though ;)

I'm moving to your area...

I don't trust fast food - I'm a veggie and not sure that the food isn't contaminated.
Plus, I don't trust 17 year old, hormonally-suffused boys and the company mayo

The good thing about drive throughs is that they can screw up your change as well :)

Went thru mcd's once, asked for 2 big mac meals, gave the kid a tenner and got just over £15 change :D

that's how it SHOULD be, they pay us to eat their food ;)

Mmmmmmmm, Big Mac (cue Homer style drool!)

You still can't beat a KFC Tower Burger when the munchies hit at 2am. I think it's the hash brown, they're just great

Joe Pesci definately was right, how can they get it wrong on such a regular basis, well it seems that way to me, but maybe i just frequent drive thru's more often than most!!:D

I don't class McD's as being 'FOOD' myself. Its fking disgusting artificial $hite.

And when your dealing with spotty little feckers on 4 quid an hour, its just asking for trouble.
Thats why you should never have your car serviced at MotoSave, there staff consists of the McDonalds rejects who got sacked for gobbing in your burgers.

Last time i ate at McD's was four years ago, nutrient definciencies aside, i just can't stand the stuff.

I had this vision that in years to come the only way you could eat out was to go to a McD's, since they seem to be taking over the whole food industry. It's worrying the amount of kids you see eating that crap, and we wonder why more and more children are being diagnosed as obese....

I think I saw a film where a man says his toast wasn't done enough, so the chef took it back, stuck it in his pants for a bit, spat on it and then gave it back.

You'll be wanting to watch Trigger Happy TV.... the one when the biker goes up to the speaker with helmet on and goes "ONE CHEESE HA*£RUJHFKESDFHU*mumble*, THREE BEEF *muffle* ASDKJIORHNKDFNDFHF AND *mumble*mumble*ASJDIERHEHSNGFKD"

etc

I believe that was from that Classic... American Pie. Might be wrong though... I'm sure it was a teen movie :D
