    Default Expect a fastfood place to get your order right? Buena Suerte!

    I went to a local fast-food place(which shall remain nameless, to protect the guilty) to have a quick early dinner today. I ordered one of their "healthy combos," which consisted of three whole items.

    I place my order...

    "Oh, you want the kid's meal."

    "Uh, no, I want the combo which is above the kid's meal on your sign.

    After almost getting my order wrong, the statement is again made, "You want the kid's meal."

    "No, I want the combo listed ABOVE the kid's meal on your sign.

    And a third & final time. "You want the kid's meal?"

    "No, I want the combo ABOVE the kid's meal!" and my big order of three items was finally understood at this point. Of course, after this one, I'm thinking to myself, "You effing moron!"

    It's hard to enjoy even a simple dinner when it's this frustrating just placing an order!

    So, how often do others have the same problem?

    Probably 90% of the time!

    I think it's just an accepted part of our society now. Am I wrong?

    (I'm not even going to get into the ones that don't speak english!)

    i once asked for a fork to go with my salad and got a spoon and three straws, no napkins or fork.

    i also love how when i order a pizza from the taco bell/pizza hut combo places, how they always ask if i want mild or hot sauce.

    Since we don't eat fast food, I would say that we never have the problem.

    I would put the ineptitude rate of most fast food workers in the better than half range, but in their defense a lot of times the way the restauraunts are ran is often a bigger problem. I could never figure out why to order Hamburger + Fries + Coke the clerk has to push like 26 buttons on that damned console.

    For a short time, the McDonalds nearest my house had two of those self-order touch screen computers. That was so much better than trying to comunicate with some seventeen year old with less competence than Beavis. Unfortunately, they took them out.

    My friend ordered a pineapple pizza from the union on campus last week. The worker asked him, "just pineapple? no cheese?" And my friends says, "well yes, I'd like cheese on it too please" So that's exactly what he got: Pizza crust, pineapples and cheese. hahahaha A couple of us keep cracking up and giving him a hard time about "Tony's sauceless pizza" hahahahahahaahh

    Sheeeit. In AZ most of them DON'T speak english, or at least extremely little. You got Jose and Alberto up front taking orders, who obviously JUST learned the minimal words to take a standard order (and don't understand if you say anything other than "#2 with coke please"), and then shouting the orders in spanish to their non-english-speaking cousins in the back. I would bet my eyeteeth that at 99% of the fast food places in AZ, NONE of the staff besides management are legal workers. And probably some of the management are illegal too

    I regularly order a chicken sandwich with side salad instead of fries, and often get told I can't get that, even though it's advertised that I can

    And forget getting a dressing other than what's offered on their 'premium' salads - each one comes in a packet and that's what you get, like it or not.

    Fast food people are assholes! I used to work in fast food(go ahead, laugh at me), at McDonalds when I was in high school. I was THE nicest employee ever, always gave great service, was prompt, accurate, and took the time out to be friendly. I felt screwed over because after all that and getting commended by the managers many times, they screwed me out of raises and promotions, simply because I didn't have a penis. So yeah, because of that, I always expect accurate and good service because I feel like I paid my dues, why can't they?

    A few weeks ago, I went to the Taco Bell in Atlantic City, NJ and it was horrible!! They tried to double-charge me, probably due to a misunderstanding, because I was getting beans instead of meat in my chalupas(I'm vegetarian) and it was supposed to be the same price. They fiddled with the prices a few times, and finally the middle-aged Hispanic asshole of a manager screamed at me, "DO YOU WANT IT, OR NOT??" At this point, they were charging me $5.05 for something that shoulda been $3.47, and they refused to tell me why it was adding up to so much. First of all, they shouldn't have charged me extra for beans because it was a direct substitution and I've had this confirmed for me at many many Taco Bells around the world(literally around the world! I even went to Taco Bell in Australia), plus even with a $0.25-per-item surcharge it shouldn't have been that much. And I didn't want food that someone might have spit in, so I said no and me and the manager got into a big argument. OK maybe I was in the wrong to respond to it, but she was very unprofessional and I think she was trying to scare me. Haha yeah like some 5'2" manager would scare me, at 5'7", in my 300hp louder-than-a-monster Mustang! So I revved up my Mustang's engine in response to her literally pushing the drive-thru window's tray repeatedly at my car in a threatening way, then drove away with no food at all and reported them to the corporation. I got a free food coupon outta it at least! :-) But yeah, there's really no reason for that to have happened at all. They were unprofessional, impatient, uninformative, inaccurate, and just plain rude.

    Well, even when they take my order correctly, they always forget something. Especially Wendy's. I get salads without dressing, hamburgers without condiments, I order extra cheese and they take off everything EXCEPT the cheese I've given up.

    I rarely eat fast food, but sometimes it is all I have time for. I walked into a Carl's Jr. recently, and asked how big a large drink is. The cashier just stared at me like I had two heads and said "it is a large." I asked for clarification "How many ounces of liquid does a large drink cup contain?"

    "Oh. 32 ounces."

    These are white middle class kids working at the fast food places around here. I can imagine what it would be like with a language barrier.

    Oh it's terrible having an accent and going someplace to order. Of course it's my fault but sometimes... like... WOW.

    "And I'd like capsicum" (bellpepper)
    "Olives? Sure."
    "No, capsicum!"
    "Pepper? Okay."
    "Well, yes, pepper, but I want capsicum!"
    "I thougt you didn't want the olives?"
    "I want CAP-SI-CUM."
    "Oh, you want that sandwhich toasted!!!"
    "Yeah....sure."

    Fark.

    My favorite:

    Wendy's - this happened TWICE!

    "I'd like a cheeseburger, plain, please"

    I get a cheeseburger with everything, I take it back. I tell them I wanted a plain cheeseburger......

    "You don't want cheese on that?'

    It's a f*ing CHEESEburger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I asked for a plain cheeseburger once, with extra pickles only, you can only imagine......

    oh god funny I should read this right now. I'm pissed off because I went to Quizno's and got a cobb salad and they FORGOT TO PUT THE CHICKEN IN IT!!! I mean that is the most important thing. How in the HELL do you forget to put the fucking chicken in it? I am so annoyed.

    I always talk with the guy who runs this Quizno's when I go in and he's there so I'm going to let him know he's got some tard making the salads today.

    OMG I have that same problem! Every fucking time I go to Wendy's they will fuck something up, whether it's forget to put in my sandwich or forget to give me a straw or fork or the wrong salad dressing or whatever, they ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS fuck up at Wendy's!
