This past Friday after having worked late, I decided to just drive through McDonalds and grab a burger and fries. The adventure started off in that comfortable old shoe kind of way...the long line at the drive-thru...the people in the car ahead of me that took 10 minutes to decide what they wanted...the cashier that was baffled when I gave her exact change...the drink that was handed to me with more dripping down the sides than in the cup, The lid only half attached. The subsequent request for napkins to keep the drink off of myself and my truck interior....I got my food and proceded to check the bag to see how many items were wrong, as usual.. And then HORROR of horrors!!!! The fries were neatly set upright in the bag and a napkin was carefully placed to keep them from spilling!!!!! Fries are supposed to be scattered all over the bottom of the bag!!! An abomination...the rendering asunder of time honored tradition...When will it end??? Whats next?? the loss of the traditional "hand the bag in your general direction while looking the other way ritual"??? I shudder...I am afraid that next visit when I order vinegrette dressing with my salad...I will get it instead of ranch... Friends, the world as we know it is shattered...I say stamp this behavior out before it spreads... | ||

I don't bother with drive throughs anymore, Once at Wendys they wouldn't serve me because I was on a motorcycle, and stated its safety regulation. | ||

Don't worry, these things happen. Nothing & no one can be perfect. Even politicians sometimes tell the truth. Rare, noteworthy, but it DOES happen. | ||

Don't get your shorts all ruffled just yet. Those fries may have been scraped off the floor. ( Just being the optimist )  | ||

I worked for Burger King Corporation for 15 years in varying capacities. The fast food industry is tough, but pays well and has some great perks. However, it is thankless and at the bottom of the dining out food chain which means you get some of the most difficult people to deal with. Imagine someone returning their Whopper to you complaining it was missing the "extra pickles" just like if they'd paid $49 for a filet mignon at Charley's Steakhouse when the reality is they just paid $3 for two. I still look back on those years fondly, but thank my lucky stars every day that I don't have to do it any more. | ||

If only they didn't have to close the business when a power shortage happens.....not because they can't see, not because they can't cook, and not because they can't open the money drawers.....it is because they cannot read a watch to time the fries and cannot count $4.85 change back out of a $10 bill. | ||

>>>>cannot count $4.85 change back out of a $10 bill. I went through a drive thru a couple years ago . . . kid was really nasty when I was ordering. I get to the window . . . give the airhead a $10 and she gives me change for a $20. I said . . "excuse me, but . . ." and she says "what now?". "Oh nothing". . . I just drove off. I made a statement about the state of the American education system in another thread . . . I stand by it. | ||

Went to a Home Depot and picked up a bunch of 2-foot cut re-bar. Pre-cut rebar came in 2, 4, 8 - and maybe 12 and 20 foot lengths... but all I had was 2 foot sticks. Check-out queen had to get her measuring tape to CHECK that they were 2-footers and NOT 4-footers... I guess to make sure I wasn't trying to rip them off! When she's ringing me up, total comes up to something like $17.81 so I hand her a $20 and she punches it into the machine and I realize I have a handful of change and can make the 81 cents... and she says "Too late, I've already entered it in the computer" - rather than attempt a futile lesson in math, I took three deep breaths, held out my hand and took my change. We are reaping what we sow. | ||

I waited nearly 6 hours for wall mart to put 2 tires on the rear of my truck, as a result of that and the garage employee' tantrum the next day at the neigboring parts house, I no longer do business with wally world, You must have been in a hurry Slaughter, I would have calmly asked for the manager. and politely related my issue, if any out of the way commentary were to happen, business goes elsewhere. If the management does not know that there is a problem then they cant correct it, if on closer examination management is the problem then spend your hard earned money elsewhere. | ||

Steve: My wife was on the other end of the equation. . . she picked up about 40 pieces of that tiny wrought iron picket fence looking edging . . it was supposed to be like $12.50 per 2' section. She gets home I unload the entire trunk of her car, she pulls out the receipt and the mouthy gal, complaining about having to put it in boxes charged her amex . . . drum roll $12.50. | ||

I hit up a McD's on the way to a show and got 2 McMuffin's. I'd would have liked to have the egg in them as well, but I guess they were chasing the chickens around trying to get the eggs.....to make them Egg McMuffin's. It's amazing how dry they can be w/o the egg for added grease.... | ||

Somewhere in the earlie 80's, a friend of mine used to work at McDonalds as a cook. His older sister was an assistant manager and got him the job. We used to get all smoked out and go by for some free food on a regular basis. One day my friend Johnny (the cook) is on break out back getting smoked out with us. He's in a bad mood so someone asks what's up Johnny ? He says he is so pissed off at people ordering anything outside of the standard stock offerings on the menu. He then starts laughing like a maniac. Of course we all want to know what's so funny. He says that some A-hole ordered a couple of burgers with 'no pickel' so he drowns the burger and the bun with pickel juice but no pickel. What a tool !!! I'm laughing right now thinking about it. As far as I know he did that to every 'no pickel' order he could. Wait till I tell you guys about my cousins friend who worked at KFC. | ||

I was refused service at a McD's 24h drive thru here in France. 4 am starving & needing coffee, been punching a rig up the road all night. Now a semi won't even get in the car park, let alone fit under the canopy, as I explained to them, doesn't matter, I'm on foot not driving thru, so I can't get service. I had to walk past their dumpster point on the way out so I picked up their traffic cones & spread them across the entrance. Made me feel better but still hungry, arses. |
