I've never received exceptional service at fast food restaurants, but my biggest complaint is that they just don't listen.
Tonight at Wendy's:

ME: I'd like the Monterey Ranch Chicken, sandwich only please.
GIRL: Would you like the combo?

Most brain surgeons don't make minimum wage.

Oh yeah - same with rocket scientists.

My family used to buy 50-packs of White Castle burgers - they used to (still do?) sell them in bulk like this, frozen. My dad walks into the place, orders a frozen 50 pack - and the cashier asks "to stay, or to go?".

She couldn't understand what the hell we were laughing at, either.....

Whatever man - I hated working fast food when I was 16 also. I don't mind morons - it's the LAZY ************* that I can't stand.

Well you gotta remember, these kids probably make minimum wage, so you can't expect much

Blah, I worked at Burger King when I was 16. I didn't refuse to use my brain, just because I was being underpaid.

here's the BEST experience i've had from mickey-d's so far:

friend and i pull up to mcdonald's drive thru around christmas. my friend wants to know if they have egg-nog shakes, so here goes my order:

ME: can i have a #3 combo, and do u have egg-nog shakes?
McD: egg-nog? hold on.................yes.
ME: okay, i'll take a medium egg-nog shake too.
McD: u want chocolate?
ME: no, egg-nog.
McD: ...u want chocolate?
ME: no, EGG. NOG.
McD: oh, okay, egg-nog. what size?
ME: medium.
McD. okay, u want medium egg-nog. drive thru...

so i pull up, pay for it at the first window, then proceed to the next window. my friend is laughing the whole time, and we both agree they're gonna f#ck this up, guaranteed. we get to the next window, take my combo, then the shake...

ME: (laughing) dude, this thing is brown. looks like chocolate.
FRIEND: (laughing, opens lid) it's chocolate...
ME: excuse me, this is chocolate.
McD: yeah, chocolate shake.
ME: i ordered egg-nog.
McD: what size?
ME: medium. egg-nog.
McD: medium egg-nog? okay, hold on...
ME: dude, i KNOW they're gonna **** me off...(laughing)
McD: u didn't order chocolate?
ME: no, egg-nog.
McD: what size?
ME: medium. egg-nog.
McD: we don't have egg-nog.

LOL now THEY are some f#cktards!

Sometimes the customers can be idiots also. I use to manager at Wendy's and I have heard this several times.

Through the DRIVE-THRU:

Me: May I take your order?
Customer: Yeah, can I have a #...combo
Me: Sure, anything else?
Cusstomer: No thanks and can I have it to GO

The drive-thru is for GO


Another one (not as serious, but...):

Of course we all know that combos consist of sandwich, fries, and drink. Plus its a lot cheaper than ordering them seperate. But quite a bit of ppl do this...

Me: Would you like to try a combo?
Customer: No, but I would like a single w/cheese, an order of fries, and a medium drink.

"Ok, ma'am, you're gonna go to the Texaco station, take a right. Go 5.5 miles southeast. You're gonna see a guy in a yellow poncho, his name is Hank. He'll take you to the whopper lair. That's where you go. You have 10 minutes to get there. Or we take your food."

I was going to taco bell and it was tuesday night at 11:50 PM. On wednesday soft tacos are cheaper than normal so we drove around for 15 minutes so we could get the cheap price. Its now 12:05 AM on wednesday and we go up and order the tacos.

The prices arent correct

Me: I want 10 soft tacos
TB: That will be 11 dollars
Me: Your sign says soft tacos are 60 cents
TB: Thats only on wednesday
Me: It is wednesday
LONG PAUSE
TB: your total is 11 dollars

Most of the time I didn't have to deal with fast food morons. My friend was the assistant manager at Arbys and his brother was the manager and his dad was the district manager so I always got free food. We would walk in there and our friend would take our order then come sit out in the lobby and we would hang out there for an hour.

Generally, you get what you pay for. Cheap money gets you crappy food along with shitty service. Half the crew is generally stoned. About one third of the crew has a high school diploma or GED not including the store manager. The "A+" sanitary plaques you see hanging are given for one A+ day when the restaurant knew what day inspectors were coming. Management will cut corners any way they can to save money, sometimes using left overs and expired food. That's coming from 2 years of experience.

Well, I did leave a few details out of my story. When I got the sandwich the bun was hard as a rock, the chicken was overcooked and chewy, and the whole sandwich was cold.

Still that didn't bother me as much as having to repeat myself.

Besides, I just went up today and got a free one. It was really good this time. Still my favorite chicken sandwich right now.

don't eat at hardee's or carl's jr

You know whats easier than complaing about fast food.......cook your own damn food and you can only blame yourself. If you go out to eat, expect to wait and expect your order to get fucked up. It happens, deal with it or learn to cook!

Whenever I find myself at Mc D's or BK, I brown-nose the crap out of those guys. Ever see those shows on FOX? "When restaraunt workers get the flu" or "People that loogie in your food exposed" or "***-wiping and salmonella...a connection"?
Then there's the chinese food around here. "How you like sweet & sour alley-chicken?"

marc93lx

Yeah I've always said "Don't **** with the people making your food" Thats the worst mistake you could ever make. People mess up and if your a total dick about it, expect to have a little somethin extra in your food. Its like I said before, if you don't want to wait and you don't want your order to get fucked up, then eat at home or deal with the fact that something may go wrong.

EZ as 123
