Screwed-Up (and Over) By The Drive-Thru Window
Okay, this is not the same as How often do Fast Food places mess up your order?. For this thread, I want to know two things:
1) In what way was your order screwed up. 2) How badly was this done. Basically, it's time to outdo everybody else!!! So go ahead, tell us the worst it's ever gotten....scare me if you can. |

I hate my driveup window! We do about 60% of our business out of the driveup window but- why are people so rude? Customers who come in are much more polite than those that use the driveup!!! They are afraid to get within three feet of the window and expect us to lean out that far with a twenty pack of bottles! Not tryin' to hijack your thread but it definitely works both ways - no matter which side of the window you're on.
PS If you guys would take your avatars off until the board is back up and running right it would sure help move things a little faster! http://flounder.tfproject.org/tfp/sh...threadid=37638 Last edited by Liquor Dealer; 12-01-2003 at 08:59 AM.. |

I once asked for a #4 and got a #1 and a #3. It was quite amusing. Mabye the guys at McDonalds were trying to prove that they can add.

This isn't a big deal, but it sure pissed me off... I was at the burger drive-thru, and my change was something like $2.13. I got the two bills and the dime, but the woman said "we're all out of pennies," gave me my food, and shut the window without saying anything else. Sure, only 3 cents, but what the hell? If I was that woman, I would've said something like "give me 2 cents and I'll give you a nickel."
That happened like five years ago, and I still haven't forgotten it. |

McDonalds put Tarter sauce on my Big Mac. I gave it back when I found out. The expression on the cashiers face was funny. She looked back at the people making the burgers and said "Tarter sauce on the Big Mac?!? Come on guys."

True Story
A acquaintence of mine in high school had a huge anger management problem. One day at lunch he went through the drive thru of a What-A-Burger and asked them to add or leave something off. He rec'd his order but checked it before leaving. They had not processed his order as placed and he went nuts on them screaming at the window operator. He then proceeded to unwrap the burger and launch it through the window at the poor employee and drove off in a rage. To make a funny story even better, after all he was a n A-Hole, he was soon apprehended by our local police department and charged with Assault and Battery.

We used to get home delivery from our local Pizza Hut. The thing was, they'd get our order wrong sooooooooo many times. We'd ring up and complain, and they'd make a note next to our address to give us a free pizza next time. At one stage, we went for a couple of months without having to pay for pizza. (And yes, they honestly did stuff up our orders repeatedly - we weren't "milking" them.)

I've not recieved straws before, but usually it's my fuck ups.
Like the time I paid and then left the store. I started walking back to my house across the street and then realised "Oh snap, I forgot my food!" So I run back in the store and casually walk up to the counter like nothing happened. It's a good thing a girl I knew from school worked there, she thought it was funny. Man, I didn't.

I always check my order before I leave the premises. I have found errors and had to go in and have them get it right. The two that probably bug me most are forgetting to put sour cream on my soft taco and not adding cheese to my chicken sandwich.

I worked at a Burger King drive through for over a year, starting at the end of 1983. I almost always worked "closing", which got me some of the more... interesting... customers. Fer instance, after the dining room closed one evening, we got a bus. The manager wouldn't open the dining room, so the poor bus people walked through the drive through. While this fiasco is proceeding, a car came with a guy who wasn't waiting for 50 people to walk through. He pulled a gun. We served him. Hey, I'm not getting shot 'cause some moron wants his goddam burger! Neither were the people in line. Nonono. Instead, we watched as the state police, who had a barracks across the street, nabbed him on exit from the drive/walk through. Ah yes. Turns out he had a bb-gun. Another time, we ran out of burger buns and substituted Whopper(tm) buns. While this was around the time of the Wendy's "Where's the beef?" ad, no one said anything. It was kind of a let down. Funny how all this is more interesting in retrospect than it was at the time. As far as fucking up orders, I had this one customer who came by occasionally and ordered a burger "well done". Well, all Burger King meat is cooked for a standard time. It's put in one end of a grill, moved through on a chain conveyer belt, and pops out the other end. Try putting it in again and I doubt you'd want to eat the result. Anyway, this guy wanted it WD. All that meant was that it'd be in the microwave longer. I couldn't see how this made any difference, but if I "forgot" to forward that part of the order, he always came back. Guess it mattered to him! Last edited by denim; 12-17-2003 at 12:19 PM.. |
