I CANT HEAR YOU SPEAK LOUDER

Drive through speakers aren't motion sensitive. If you aren't in a car they won't know you are there. They only know if someone is at drive through if the speaker hears the sound of an engine.

>be drunk as fuck
>dont own a car, but the doors of the establishment are already closed
>walk between cars to order from drive-thru

*orders the cheapest thing on the menu*
*pays with a $100 bill that doesn't even have a blue strip*

>>10330806
>what is a camera

>>10330820
>orders the most expensive thing
>tries to pay with a check

>>10330825

not every drive through place has outside cameras. not every drive through is equipped with monitors near the registers. A bell sounds in the employee headsets when the speaker picks up the sound of an engine that lasts more than 2-3 seconds.

>order 4 different things each with different instructions for what you want added/removed
>spend 5 minutes at the window checking the food before you drive off

>>10330806
There's a sensor under the pavement that detects the metal in the car

>>10330834
>>10330839
you ya know you could just install an incredibly cheap camera so employees have an idea of who is ordering what because it's 2018 and we don't need anything more convoluted than that because cameras are very very cheap

>>10330796
Nigga you could've easily went in and chilled, probably would've gotten some free food and shit. I'm in South Texas so most Whataburger's (fast food workers in general) here don't care after-hours. Also it's fun too watch people get in fights around 2AM.

>>10330769
jeez woman you need to lurk more

>>10330851

you're assuming that an employee is always going to be at a register staring at monitors. Having an audio cue allows employees to be able to take orders while bagging orders . The audio cue lets employees know when a customer is ready to order while the employee is doing something away from the register such as cleaning dining room or getting supplies from the storage area/fridge/freezer.

*quotes old interbutt video*

I worked at a drive thru. I have some stories.

>Be me
>Pretty dead night, nobody's really been going through
>Talking to buddy when headset beeps
>"Hi, what can I get you today?"
>No answer
>Repeat
>Still no answer
>Repeat again
>SILENCE
Fast forward 5 minutes, assume the sensor is fucked and forget about it
>Manager runs in saying we have 10 cars in line
>Suddenly hear honking
>Not consistent honks, just one long ass honk that never ends
>FINALLY person drives up
>"Why didn't anyone take my order?!"
>Check speaker, it works fine
>Still wonder why one wouldn't just drive up if they apparently can't hear the speaker

>>10330851
You sound like an absolute moron

>>10330746
Fuck I hate those retarded things. I haven't seen one in at least a year thank God. Whatever braindead piece of trash thought of that deserves to be raped repeatedly.

>>10330873
lol you watch family guy too?

>>10330874

>repeat 3 times
>still no reply
>customer ignores you until they figure out what they want

>>10330869
What fast food place have you ever seen where they don't have at least one person dedicated to drive thu orders? dumb fuck. Also a camera would more efficiently work as a motion sensor to begin with. What about wind and other loud shit? You could still have an alert tone with a video motion sensor.
plus I HAVE SEEN THE FUCKING MONITORS AT MCDONALDS AND OTHER FAST FOOD PLACES
a video feed just makes sense in every way and it's what they use

>>10330690
I don't do that.

>>10330911

Having a dedicated drive through employee doesn't mean they never leave the area. There might be a dedicated order taker during breakfast and lunch rushes , but early morning, afternoon, night shift, and grave yard shifts may have less people (only one person for fryer and grill, only one person for drive through and front). The person taking the order is also the person who has to make the drinks and bag the food.

>>10330911
No way dude, a camera would be too hard, instead we need to install magnets and shit in the ground, a microphone to listen for engine noise and an infrared sensor to look for engine heat, all this gets piped into a server that processes the information using the latest in machine learning software to send a beep to the drive through if it thinks it detects a car.

>>10330869
>>10330925

they make camera's that beep whenever they detect motion in a specific area, they are easy to setup and cheap.

Source: I setup a couple for my houses security system.

>>10330925
>The person taking the order is also the person who has to make the drinks and bag the food.
which is why it might be helpful to know which car you're dealing with ON THE MONITOR YOU"RE LOOKING at

>>10330930

it depends on the restaurant and if it's okay with the regional manager.

>>10330753
don't talk shit about dunkey

>ayyo can I get a fuckin' uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

>>10330690
ive always wanted to do that. just dive up, yell "ill have a number 1, thanks" and then pull right up to the window where you pay.

>>10330835
>being this much of a picky fuck
why do people do this? i understand doing that at an actual sit down restaurant but for fast food? at that point, just make your own damn food.

>>10330982

only do this if there's no car behind you. They want to know if you want it as a combo, what size, what kind of side, what kind of drink. If you do this while cars are behind you they have to take your order at the window while holding up the car behind you. The customer behind you gets all upset and demands free stuff.

>>10331006
I do it all the time because I don't like ordering through the stupid speakers, I prefer to order by talking to the person in the window directly so there are no mistakes made. Plus it's a pain in the ass trying to understand those shitty speakers.

>>10331012

If a car pulls up right after you and pulls the same stunt it can complicate things. It's not uncommon for customers to say their order and pull over without employee ever getting a word in. While a customer is talking to you at the window they are being yelled at by a customer through the head set.

>>10331012
>>10331025

it's not just the customer that's yelling at the employee, but also the person in charge wondering why their drive through employee is putting a customer on hold. Kitchen likes to make the order as quick at they can to things going. They like to hear your order through their headset so they can prepare everything as quick as possible.

>>10330718
god damn, that's a blast from the past

>>10331025
>>10331037
sucks to be them, but as the customer I prefer to order face to face and that's what they are going to have to deal with

>order over speaker at BK
>they fucking always forget something, need to go back in anyway

>itt: too fatass and lazy to get out of the car and walk into the fastfood trough to place an order and complain about the process to accomodate their laziness.
Never change /ck/.

>>10331178

>finish work
>want to get dinner for the family
>too tired to walk up to counter and get food
>order food
>something goes wrong with the order I paid good money for
>minimum wage employee tries to guilt trip me into feeling sorry for them when it was their fault they screwed something up

lol @ all the bottom of the tier wage workers who are getting so uppity in this thread. You have literally the lowest job in the US when it comes to respect, people literally make fun of you if they know you work in fast food, it's worse than being a garbage man or even a sewer worker you are at the very bottom of the work force.

Me and some friends skipped class one time in high school, and decided to get high and go to Taco Bell.

We were in the drive thru and had a brilliant idea. We scrawled on a scrap of paper "Speaker is not working right...please yell order VERY loudly so we can hear you. Sorry for the inconvenience!", and taped it to the order speaker.

We ordered and scarfed our food down in the parking lot, and then ran inside, ordered more food, and then sat down near the front and waited.

It only took about 30 seconds before, audible in the entire restaurant...

"KKKKKKKSSSSSSHHHHHHAHHHHHYEAAAAAAAHCAAAANIHAVE*loud static and screeching*ANUMBER4PLEASEKKKKKKSSSSSSHHHHH"

This happened 4 or 5 times before poor LaQuisha at the window screamed back "WHAT THA FUCK IS GOING" while we were dying in our seats

>>10331813
They can't even hack the gibson. Fucking plebs

>>10331707

Why do people keep complaining about retail/food industry workers sounding or looking lifeless? You are not the only customer they are dealing with. They are still people and they get tired repeating the same thing all day and being treated like trash. They are not always going to fake a smile or preppy attitude for everyone for 6-8 hours straight. If you are off-put by a fast food employee not being super happy to see you, why expect them to be super happy after dealing with the 50thcustomer that day?

I just thought of something sad, do some of you losers work in fast food and come to /ck because you think you are cooks? I sure hope not, because you are the not cooks, you barely even work with something that could be called food, to call a fast food worker a cook is like calling a janitor a sanitation engineer, it's just sad.

this has been mentioned a lot, seeing as you're illiterate it makes sense you're one of the retards that somehow falls for it

fucking kek

so how do fast food workers even stand what they do without killing themselves? I would be so embarrassed if I had to work at a fast food place and anyone knew about it, I don't think I could even wear the uniform outside.

>>10335590

Peer pressure. The job is stressful for everyone, but you want to stay strong as to not look like a weakling in front of your co workers or customers. If you are working fast food is usually the most convenient choice for you at the moment and you really need the money.

>>10335590
>so how do fast food workers even stand what they do without killing themselves?

Because most of us are in high school? I'm a senior, 18 and it's frowned upon of course, but everyone is in the same boat. All my coworkers are in high school, even some of my managers. Nobody gets a good job at this age without experience, so nobody gives a shit.

>>10335590
people who are lifers in those kinds of jobs either have mental deficiencies or like how it frees them from any responsibility or effort, even getting fired from one of those jobs doesn't matter at all since turnover is so high they can just jump to a different identical job they can squeak by on with just below minimum effort

>>10335590

Not everyone lives next to a place with no skill labor that is also hiring.

>>10331964
Why are food service employees such sociopaths?

>>10333021
I had something similar happen.
One of the people on my end of operations started to have a visible mental breakdown and this led to a viscous interdepartmental rivalry. The other side of operations feared and hated us just because of -his- shit. Finally one day he got his ass fired. Finally.

As I was going out to take my smoke break a woman from the other half of the department walked up to me with a smug look.

>"Are you gonna follow your little buddy out the door?"

I explained the guy was never 'my buddy' and the question was pretty damned out of bounds.

Nearly two decades later I came across her working in a chili restaurant. Automation had caused her to get pink slipped. So yeah, this lady who was a total bitch to me got to take my order. lol

One time I had my ass hanging out the window and mooned the people inside at the pick up window. One of them noticed I had a little bit of doody stuck to my ass hair so they wiped me. Nice people.

>>10330735
Do you know how annoying it is for us when you faggots "need a minute" decent people with iq above the functional retard level know what they're getting before they come, you're holding the line up for everyone then we get blamed for the slow service. I think I speak on behalf of all fast food workers when I say fuck you, you indecisive faggot.

>drive up
>Uhhhhhhhhhh how can i take your order dude
>"Sup my man I'll have a number 2 combo with the tea"
>Dude your voice is amazing i love you
> Wtf my voice is absolutely nothing remarkable
>"Thanks man"
>Drive up, see the dude poking his head out the window
>Rips a fat vape
>Fuck bro, sorry didn't mean to puff at ya...wanna hit it?
>"I'm... I'm good man, thanks"
>RIGHT ON I RESPECT YA, Here, drink's on the house!
>Burger has store bought greens and tomato on it, meat has proper seasoning on it, fucking delicious. He's working alone at a night shift.
>Go back the next day to thank him and his ass is fired
Thank you Wendy's stoner, your burger was awesome.

>>10336122

I kind of like it when people need a minute to order. Gives people time to finish making orders, restock, or clean something.

>>10331960
SAY CRISPY

>>10336122
Fuck you nigger I don't know what's on the menu and i want to try something new. Also don't talk about IQ when you're working fast food, buddy.

>>10336122
maybe if the menu signs were a bit further back I wouldn't need 15 seconds to read them at the fucking speaker

>>10336185
>>10336209
it's a fucking McDonald's or Burger King or some other fast food shit. it's pretty mich the same menu everytime and it hardly ever changes

>>10336276
I don't eat there often enough to remember the menu dude. Don't forget to change your tampon.

AY YALL OPEN?

>>10336185
I make over 11 an hour at my joint and I'm being groomed to be a shift manager, I'm not some dumb shit fast food worker they just pick up off the street, you probably live in your parents basement, don't judge me faggot

I hate when you get the fuckers with like 6 people in their car ordering. Or I've seen fuckers go up and order a large pop and thats it, there should still be death by firing squad

>>10336579
I'm making 17 an hour fixing people's computers but nice try dipshit. Enjoy your dead-end low paycap job with shit tier benefits.

>>10334729
Have you thought of just writing it down, maybe pretending to be dumb (unable to speak)?

>>10335590
Wear a jacket lmao

If I wanna use a coupon do I tell the person at the ordering microphone or at the pay window?

>>10337247

Tell them at the speaker because sometimes the coupon only works with certain sizes. If you request a large combo and the combo is for a small combo they will have to change the order at the window.

>>10330926
you forgot it needs internet as well

>>10330690
>"Will that be everything?"

I park my car and go inside just so I can use the machines and not have to speak to anyone.

Best late night crew

>>10334729
do you have a website

I worked at wendy's for three years when I was in college and funny enough the only time someone's food got messed with a manager did it. This rude nigress would always come through at 2 am (we closed at 2) demanding everything be cooked fresh and always had an attitude. She pissed off the manager one night and she rubbed her tortillas all over the fryer.

>>10330746
>automated recording advertises new menu item
>say no out of habit
>actually wanted to order it but now I have to get something else

>>10334729
So stop using the drive thru, asshole. Do the wheelchair-confined expect to use stairs? Do epileptics expect to go to raves? Do the morbidly obese expect to be allowed on elevators when they exceed the weight limit? The drive thru isn't for people like you. It's for people who can make their order done quickly.

>>10338196
Tyler Durden.

Is there anything more annoying than when someone lies to you so they don't have to do their incredibly easy job? The only chic fil a in my town serves everything except soup and ice cream during breakfast there just might be a wait period. Walk in and order a spicy deluxe at like 7am like I've done multiple times "oh sorry we don't serve that during breakfast" says the new dumb spic girl worker. Literally walked out to my car and ordered it off the phone app and she had to walk it out to me. I just don't understand how you can be that fucking lazy.

>>10337042
Yeah, I was wondering that too

Yes, its the product of our automotive culture and our convience culture. Sad really

>Get 4 free tacos

Good times

>>10331883
How much is she getting paid everyday?

>>10335721
Because no one's fucking paying them.

Currently at Montana's BBQ. What's the best shit there to order?

>>10330690
>Alright uhh, shit. Fuck. Goddamn look at that... I'll ummmm, jesus. Ah fuck me. Ok. Ummmm. Ahhhhhhhhhh...... Well... Actually- no wait. Fucking hell... uhhhhhhh

>People who order fresh or something overly complex

Literally why are you even coming to a fast food place? The stuff is all garbage that's going to kill you quicker, I hope people don't actually eat it for the taste. Not to mention how fucking overpriced every place is now too.

>>10339421
Sometimes I go to certain ones just to interact with an attractive woman.

>me: i'll have a whopper jr. with no ketchup and that's it
>employee: is that everything?

every fucking time

>Go to Jack in the box
>Wait 5 minutes for them to respond
>"uhh, can i take your order"
>Yeah, can i just get an order of two tacos and a dr. pepper?
>"we...uh...dont got taco lettuce"
>Nevermind then, ill find something to eat at home

>>10337247
>>10337254
You tell them at the window because they will rip you off or give you less fries or whatever if they know you're using a coupon

>>10339497
>no ketchup

why?

>>10330804
>Needing the prompt
Who gives a fuck. Just shout what you want and hopefully they will get it mostly right.

>Drive thru at Sonic
>Order the supersonic burger with tots and a strawberry slush

>>10338196

WINRAR WINRAR

I fucking hate these motherfuckers who say this. I usually stay silent when they ask me that stupid question

they can fuck right off

>>10340883

A lot of miscommunication can happen at drivethrough or they might have not been there when you started declaring your order. They are just making sure everything is right or else they end up getting yelled at the window.

>>10339497
>>10340883
it could be interperted that 'that's it' was for the hamburger itself and not the complete order

>go to local taco Bell, usually order the five dollar cravings deal and a quesorito
>Tell them I want chips and salsa instead of cardboard twists
>They say ok, give me them anyways and I can't go back in because I have to get to work
>Do it again a couple days later, same thing
>Try again but state that they gave me the cinnamon twists last time when I didn't ask for them
>"Okay, if there's ever a wrong order like that you can come back inside so we can get your order right "
>I tell them I shouldn't have to come inside every time you guys fuck up
>They fucking give me those shitty cinamon twists again
>Have time to go in and tell them, black dude behind the counter walks up and I start to tell him they keep getting my order wrong but he cuts me off before I can finish with the same shit the window lady gives me, gives me the chips and salsa
>He walks away before I can finish saying they're deliberately getting my order wrong at the window so I throw the twists on the ground and walk out
Good thing theres a ton of taco bells around here, they probably spit in my food now

>>10333021

I just said hey she said hey back, but she was clearly ashamed. Personally, a job is a job.

Sorry kid but cussing just ain't my thing.

>>10340900
these fucking things can be avoided if we had fucking working speaker prompts or hightech speaker systems with or without touch screens to accurately modify our orders. these fucking drive thrus need to get updated

how are we supposed to advance constant orders with these primitive speaking machines imagine the hard of hearing

>>10341631

it's their job to ask. They hate upselling promo items, drinks, and deserts and they hate having to repeat orders they clearly understood, but they have to do it.

>>10338772

>"What size?"
>"Okay your total will be $4.09 at the window. Thank you!"

>>10341708
Not that, I just hate the faggot complaining about people taking their time with their order as if they would leave their station any earlier

>>10339082
I've honestly never seen a restaurant of the two big fast food chains in Europe not having a drive through if they aren't in a mall or something.

>>10341715

Order taker is usually responsible for keeping their station stocked and cleaned as well as taking care of front others and bagging orders and making drinks. If someone is taking a long time to order they can slow down the speed of service.

>>10331012
>I just drive right up to the window to order!
>this is better and smarter!

I PROMISE you, each and every time you do this, the employees say to themselves "What a fucking retarded idiot, he can't even use a drive thru properly"

that guy got drunk. he'll be angry again tomorrow.
