Title: They F you at the drive-thru......
Post by: Poogie on February 17, 2007, 11:26:01 PM
As Joe Pesci said in Lethal Weapon 2, "They f%#* you at the drive thru."
My wonderful hubby went and got us some dinner tonight at the Jim's, near us. This is a real good hamburger and mexican food place. It has a drive-thru window, which makes it even better. Well I was dieing to have one of their huge juicy hamburgers and some fried zucchini, which DIDN'T happen. I opened the bag and there was his huge double cheese burger and the zucchini and 2 plain burgers. We usually get one plain burger and break it up for the pooches. My huge juicy burger was not there. Usually if this happens we take it back but this time we didn't, I just put the extra stuff on here.
We were f#$%ed at the drive-thru once again. Which brings me to the great question....Have they f$#%@d you at the drive-thru? And how badly?

I once asked them to hold the onions.
When I got home, the *&%$#@! thing was piled high with onions & nothing else.

I don't bother with specifics anymore, since they always treat you like you're being rude.

Still, at least they assemble the darned thing for you.
I really hate going to one of those places that wants $7.99 for a burger, because they never assemble it for you.
The top part of the bun is always on the other side of the plate, the vegies are in an inconvenient place, & the sauces are in these little cups off to the side.
You'd think for $7.99, they'd know how to fix a sandwich, but they don't. They just throw the stuff on a plate & make you fix your own *&%$#@! sandwich.
And that doesn't include a drink.

That's why I prefer fast food, because despite the staff's attitude, $4.99 gets me a burger that's been assembled, and a drink!

The McDonald's drive-thru has actually made me late for work.

A McDonald's restaurant is about a mile away from my job and I pulled up to its Drive-Thru with at least 15-20 minutes to spare before I had to be to work one night.
There was only 1 car ahead of me.  I paid for my meal and waited. 
And waited.  And waited.  And waited...

Finally, after over 10 minutes had passed, the car in front of me, who had obviously ordered one of everything on the menu, pulled away. 
I pulled up to the window only to wait some more.
Then, when the girl finally came up to the wndow she said, "I'm sorry but we're just putting fresh fries in the fryer.  It's going to be several more minutes."

I felt like screaming, "AAAAAGGGHHHHH!"

Since I had already paid for my food, I wasn't about to leave without it.
I finally got it and raced to work.
I'm supposed to be punched in by 10:30 and when I got there the time clock read 10:31.
Dammit!"


And Poogie...this entire time I thought you were a guy.    :buggedout:

I think a requirement of fast food joints is to hire the most space-head teenagers on Earth. "Over a BILLION ORDERS F#CKED UP".
Whar REALLY p**sed me off once,I gave the young pimple faced mo mo behind the counter a twenty,and asked for two tens,(as I needed exact change to pay the house sitter) and she called the manager,who held my twenty up to the light,making a big production number out of inspecting the thing.When I got y two tens  back,I gave her an exagerrated look of mistrust,and held my  tens up to the light and inspected them! "I don't trust these idiots ..."

Hey in Little Rock you get screwed every time at the drive thru. They have a special sales tax on take out food.

I cannot count how many times my order has been screwed up in the drive-thru in times past. It doesn't matter what fast food chain it is, either. In these parts not only are they manned by the most space-headed teenagers imaginable, but a large portion of the workers do not speak English very well. Now I make it a point to not budge from the pick-up window until I have inspected all of my food and ensured the order is correct.

Well if they really did "F" you at the drive-thru, I'm sure they'd get a lot more orders.  :wink:


I know. I know. Bad Joke!! But I couldn't resist.  :bouncegiggle:

Actually we rarely seem to have any problems where I live.

Ugh, well i never go to fast food places, they digust me, damn places degrading america and making everyone fat and lazy...grr...but anyways, it wasnt a drive thru, but my father went once to a dunkin donuts (that place wicked sucks anyways), and ordered "large, just cream" meaning, large COFFEE, with just cream no sugar, but since they are too dodo-brained there, and with the addition that they seem to seve everything BUT coffee there, donuts sandwhichs cookies cakes pastries sugar drinks, but anyways, they handed him a large cup of CREAM , no coffee just a cup of cream. What idiots! gah!

Well, at first I thought you were maybe a teenage kid because you had A Bug's Life avatar.
Then, you later mentioned you were married and when you changed your avatar to Elvira, I thought maybe you were an older guy who either really liked Elvira...or were really in touch with your feminine side.

Other than that, I can't recall you ever giving any kind of hint that you were a female.
So naturally, I thought you were a guy.

I was going through our local McDonalds unaware that a power outage had crashed their computerized cash registers, the total for food and drink was $14.22, I gave the young man a $20 bill, he explained about the downed register and then figured the change on a calculator. He said "your change is $34.22", I told him he added the 14.22 to the 20 instead of subtracting it, he tried again, said my change was $20, I then said give me back 3 pennies, 3 quarters, and a five. He called the manager because he thought I was trying to short change him, I had to explain to the guy how I arrived at the change amount by starting at $14.22 and then counting to $20.00, had to do it twice to convince him, I don't think these two were stupid, just mentally lazy due to depending to much on modern technology. At the time though it was really aggravating.

What I always to do after ordering through a Drive Thru speaker is to mention that I'd like that "to go", but I'd like my food unspoiled, so I decide not to say it.

Drive through's are a dangerous beast.  In the rush of service, quality tends to go down, and I've had plenty of moments where the staff have been under the pump and forget an item or two.  A quick check of your items usually solves these issues though.

Go back to the "What's a Karma?" topic...that is the biggest hint I can think of. You probably didn't read the thread because you already knew what a karma was or you were there before I was.  :smile: There's other little hints here and there but I can't point them out.  :smile:  :smile:

I rarely use the drive thru, I can get out and go in and get it faster with less chance of a screw up than if I when to use the drive thru ... I don't know how many times I've gone in and got my food and left and saw the same cars in the drive thru lane that was there when I went inside. The more time you try to save the more you waste. It's like getting pizza delivered it takes a hour or longer around here to get one, whereas if you drive in and pick it up it take 15-20 minutes max and you don;t have the added delivery fee every one charges here now for gas or tips.

Try going inside and getting it verses driving thru, you'll find I think that going in is faster in most cases.

SAY NO MORE!!!! A wink's as good as a nod to a blind bat!

Back to the topic for a mere second, my dad never used the drive-thru, believing it was quicker, mostly he was right. But I tend to buy fast food in off-peak hours or times when only the drive-thru is open. I guess I come out about even or have no choice of going inside.

I have little trouble with getting my orders mixed up but I tend to keep it simple and find an item I like as is or I go elsewhere. Or I get two small burgers or sandwiches and no sides, just the way I eat these days.

I used to ask for no onions sometimes at Burger King, but after getting a burger with no onions but double helping of mayo a few times, I just pull the onions off myself when I don't want them.

A number of years ago, an urban legend did the rounds of South Africa that a McDonalds in Pretoria North employed a person working on the drive-thru who made a habit of putting his loogeys / greenies  :buggedout: onto the client's burgers. That branch almost closed down as a result of that unfounded rumour.

I buy all my snotburgers there!!!!!!Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............nutrition! :teddyr: :tongueout:

Jack in the Box came to Central VA, back in the mid '70s, & didn't last very long.
It started out with reports that they were putting horse meat in their burgers, then they found out that that meat was coming from Australia, which started reports that they were putting kangaroo meat in their burgers.

What always bugged me, was that I was the only kid on the block who never got one of those square basketballs.

Post by: raj on February 21, 2007, 08:35:15 PM
Yeah, but did you try their soylent green burgers?  Mmmmm, tasty.

I really can't eat fast food anymore, it just doesn't sit well in my stomach, and I'm not a health nut by any means.

I stopped by the Wendy's up the road from my house the other night.

I got a taco salad and a 5 piece chicken nuggets.

I got home and hadn't checked my order. They had forgotten to give me the chili beans to pour over the salad in addition to the 5 piece chicken nuggets. they at least had the common courtesy to give me the honey mustard sauce however.   :lookingup:

So, I go back there only to find out that they're out of chili.  so, I give the salad back in exchange for a jalapeno cheeseburger thing.  I also managed to get the chicken nuggets.  But they were cold as ice.

I get home and they've also forgotten to put the jalapeno's on the burger.   :hatred:

Once again I go by that Wendy's AGAIN, they apologize to me and tell me that they're out of jalapeno's.   :hatred: :hatred: :hatred:

Trying not to kill the guy working the counter, I politely just tell them to give me my money back.  He then proceeds to tell me that they can't as their credit card machine went on the fritz and they can't give me cash back as I paid with debit card.

I proceed to tell him that if he values his life, he'll just give me the cash back.    He does this and I then go to a nearby chinese place and got some chicken lo mein.    :cheers:

 Hi, Raj :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

Just a spoiler reminder: what you mentioned is People!  :teddyr:

We Africans have evolved, we don't cook and eat people any more. :buggedout:

No, we don't. :tongueout:

We now have chefs to cook the people, food tasters and waiters to serve them! :teddyr:
