Incompetence of Fast Food Staff

[Quintillus]

I get the wrong order somewhat often at my on-campus fast food location, but since I almost always eat in it's not a big deal - easy to switch it for what I really wanted. The most recent time I got a chicken sandwich instead of a hamburger, but I'd been considering getting that anyways, and it was more expensive, so I ate it instead of exchanging it.

Off-campus I tend to have better luck, but again eat-in tendencies help with the times an order is wrong. I was rather upset when I didn't get any mushrooms on a pizza I ordered last November and didn't realize it until I got home, though. The same place has remade an entire pizza simply because of putting on green olives instead of black ones in the past, though, so overall they've done well with fixing mistakes. Also made the mistake of giving me a Large instead of a Small pizza once ! The most recent staff isn't nearly as good as most old ones, though.

I almost never eat at McDonald's, and never eat their hamburgers. Tried one once when I was about 8 and it was the worst burger I've ever had. Can't even choose what toppings you want (though it's so bad it wouldn't even matter to me). They've had a few good non-burger items over the years, though - chicken parmesan sandwiches, fajitas, ice cream sundaes. But those always tend to disappear from the menu after awhile .

I normally watch the order screen behind the counter that they use to compile your order and I'll point out anything wrong based on that. I always get plain burgers, since I learned that trick I haven't gotten one with toppings.

I ordered some Quizno's delivery once but I got something completely different. Although it was okay as I discovered the southwest chicken sandwich and how tasty broccoli and cheese was! Turned out they switched deliveries by accident. The guy had great taste though! The delivery guy eventually returned later that night and gave me my original order free of charge.

people eat at Mcdonalds ???

I don't have too many problems with orders being messed up. The problems are usually with understaffing and the resulting long waits. The staff that IS there usually does a heroic job.

That being said, I have problems with Burger King having cold food all the time. McDonald's must have better microwaves.

As for fast food in general, it is a guilty pleasure of mine. And I can never get the reasonable portion sizes. Instead, I need the triple burger, or the double quarter pounder combo super-sized...

Not any more, homeboy. After that first Red Robin burger my mouth rebelled against me and refused to eat McD's ever again.

I went to the dentist to subject my rebellious mouth to a rather painful exam, but my mouth was unswayed. I'm considering waterboarding......

Fast food is just barely food and sometimes not all that fast, but it is indispensible for feeding the kids when I come home late and nothing is cooked because we need an ingredient from the store.

I almost never go through the drive-thru, preferring to go inside and watch as much as possible of them filling my order. The only place I don't need to check on is Subway, given the assembly line is right there. Though I have had to interrupt even there and ask them to start over again because they switched sandwiches in the middle and put sandwich A with veggies B.

McDonalds has given me a "hamburger" with no meat. That was one of the few times I didn't catch it, and I got all the way home before discovering we were effectively a full meal short. I wrapped it back up and took it back, and asked the manager what was wrong with it, and even had to explain what was missing. They're not the only ones, Taco Bell once gave me a taco with no filling, and we're constantly being shorted something no matter where we go.

The Hungry Jacks where I live has never got an order wrong, despite getting something there weekly. McDonalds either screws something up or takes ages generally, and the nearest Red Rooster must have ******** monkeys working there, because they have literally never got an order right when I've gone there.

I've never gotten a mistake on a fast food order. And while I don't eat at McD's I do eat at a lot of burrito joints.

If I did get a mistake I'd probably just tell the employee. No need to call the manager. Just point out that I ordered ketchup with those mexi-fries, damnit!

Oh please their food is plenty palatable! It really depends on the restaurant itself. Before I committed to losing weight, I would indulge in a double quarter pounder every once in a while. There was something about the meat and cheese that meshed together SO well. And the fries were so crispy and hot. MMMMMMMM.

McDonald's makes me wanna barf .

 

[Valka D'Ur]

I got a pizza with no cheese the other night...

What?!

Thats almost as silly as hearing Dave's story on his hamburgerless hamburger .

If that dosent work I recommend going to the local jail getting naked and forming human pyramids with random male crimminals

 

[dutchfire]

Never had a single wrong order, but I don't go to the drive through.

 

[Masquerouge]

Ciceronian, I advise you to ditch McDonald's and head over to Red Robin.

Red Robin is probably the best burger chain. They top In-n-out, if only because they have more variety.

I just slouced into my comfy chair in front of my PC, opened up CFC and got my McDonald's lunch out of its bag.

I seriously question anyone referring to Mc Donald's (or other brands) as lunch.
Once in a while as a "dinner-replacement" I can understand, but not as lunch. Nor breakfast.

mmmm this thread makes me hungry

I always order quarterpounders with NO cheeze at McDonald's... And each time I open it in front of the cashier and guess what.. there is cheeze in it!
And then I have to say :" sorry I didn't want cheeze in my qurterpounder" and the stupid teen gives me that suspicious look thining :"why don't you want cheeze as*hole?"......... I DONT LIKE CHEEZE DAMNIT how hard is that to understand just don't put cheeze in it, it's one less step for your lazy arse to put in the making of my hamburger.
