/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Do you have autism? There's nothing unusual about asking for more time to decide. They ask you immediately because many people have already decided.

Post soyboy wrist

>>15871823
would you prefer they say nothing?

can anyone explain to me why drive throughs are deliberately designed so that you can't see the menu until you're at the point where you're being asked to order?

>>15871855
YES actually

>>15871861
They usually have one before. But when they don't, yeah it's fucking retarded.

"Welcome Burger King"

"I'll have a Whopper, Large Fry, Large Water, and the new classic chicken sandwich please"

.....
.....
.....
"Whopper and 10-piece"

"No. I want (repeat order in perfect english)"

"10-piece chicken?"

...
...

Finally get the order right. Pull up to the window. Take the bag and drink, get a bit down the highway toward home when I realize there's no chicken sandwich. Fuckers just forgot it. Spent fucking $17 for a Whopper, fries and a water.

I go back. And of course they didn't give me a receipt. But the manager was cool and gave me my rightful dues.

>>15871861
no

>>15871881
You're such a Karen. Don't you understand how much these people bend over backwards for you?

You're paying for the food and the service!

>>15871823

back to plebbit

>>15871897
I worked at McDonalds for 2 years bitch. I know what the story is. I always treated my customers right. I could take an order, run a register, and cook your fries simultaneously without issue. I remember sometimes around 2am I could remember several orders in my head and enter them into the POS a couple minutes after the person left the intercom. Could practically run that whole stupid shop. I have ZERO empathy for the plight of the fast food wagie.

>>15871823
You are expected to know what you want when you approach the register. If you don't know yet, get out of line and wait until you've decided.

>>15871861
It’s the expedient service option, you’re kind of expected to already know what you want, otherwise you’d have walked inside

>>15871823
If it's not busy, you stand off to the side while you decide and let others order.

>>15871912
But see, that's exactly the sort of thing a boomer would say and no one would give a shit.

But if you're some Hispanic chick, that doesn't speak English, fucking up every order, working 25% as efficiently, you're Kweeeen on TikTok.

>>15871918
>>15871926
Learn to read

>>15871823
Who the fuck is Karen?

>>15871949
Learn social etiquette. You don't even have to talk, just don't walk up to the counter and look at the menu. Non-verbal cues give it away.

>>15871954
kek do you live under a rock.

>>15871968
Again, learn to read. I specifically said I stand to the side. The side is away from the line or counter.

>>15871823
i look at the menu and if they ask what i want i stick one index finger up and say "one minute", not aggressively tho

>>15871855
they should just say "hi"

>>15871896
>>muh anti-white karen meme
lmao

>>15871975
I'm sorry I don't follow all your latest twittertranny ecelebs.

>>15872070
ok boomer

>>15872070
How old are you exactly?

>>15871954
a 'karen' by leftist definition is usually a white person dissatisfied with rude or incompetent service

>>15872136
If by "white person dissatisfied with rude or incompetent service" you mean "middle aged plus lady who calls you a nigger for telling her you don't serve breakfast in the afternoon", sure.

>>15872136
Like that really needed to be said, lol.

>>15872136
>t. raised by cunts
ok, dave

>>15872148
thats not a karen thats just an asshole. im talking about the true to twitter original definition

>>15872160
Huh?

>>15871823
Jesus Christ you are autistic. Just kill yourself already.

>>15871823
>Why am I expected to know what I want as soon as I walk in?
You aren’t.
>I'll even try to stand off to the side to make it clear that I don't know yet.
I dunno man, maybe you’re doing it wrong?
Like if you’re standing at the counter but just to the side of the register, it’s fair for them to assume you want to order.
But if you’re clearly not at the counter and not standing in line, yeah they’re kinda retarded to ask you anyway.

>>15871823
saliva went down the wrong tube and i started coughing while i was waiting in line. Get to cashier and say " hey how are ya?" the bitch sprays herself with hand sanitizer and says " BETTER THAN YOU" whilst standing behind a blast shield, a face shield, and a face mask.

>>15871861
>can anyone explain to me why drive throughs are deliberately designed so that you can't see the menu
Not everything is a conspiracy, friend.
Can you explain why that would still be an issue, given we're now in an age where even feral homeless crackheads have smartphones?
You’ve got a menu in your pocket, and you can look at it while sitting in line bro.

>>15872243
He said drive thru, Do you want him to look at his phone behind the wheel? You illiterate fucking retard!!!

>>15872250
>Do you want him to look at his phone behind the wheel?
While literally sitting still in a fucking drive through line? Yes. Are you really this retarded or just pretending?

>>15871823
Complaining about "Karen" is what ruins customer service, you utter retard.Customer is always right.

>>15872344
people get tickets for being on their phone in the drive thru

>>15871823
>Welcome to x, what can I get for you?
>Just a moment, I’m still looking
>*pause to continue looking at the menu board and make a decision*
>alright I’ll have y and z please

It’s literally as simple as that

>>15871861
supports impulse buying

>>15872411
The customer is never right

>>15871861
Too cheap to put in two signs. If it were just one people would probably forget what they wanted.

And as said by >>15872949 encourages impulse by with fries, super size, etc.

Personally I'm a fan of just going inside and using a machine if possible. This has fucking revolutionized the taco bell experience by showing the number of options you can get with their various foods.

>>15872991
>Personally I'm a fan of just going inside and using a machine if possible. This has fucking revolutionized the taco bell experience by showing the number of options you can get with their various foods.
Also, apps. Taco bell has an app and it really opens your eyes to what you can do to the food.

>>15872896
Where is that enforced? In my area road rules only legally apply on public roads, and on private property like carparks are only used to determine fault in the event of accidents.

>>15871861
another point to this I never see mentioned is that mushbrained people would keep the line held up by looking at a "before" menu 5 minutes after the cars in front have moved on

>>15873387
on the flip it's annoying when an app will limit customizations and you just know anything you write in is not going to be filled. I just want onions on my mcchicky, fuck you mcdicks

>>15871861
To fuck with you, personally

>>15873474
lel

Dont get in line if you dont know what you wanna order

>>15872243
What if you don't want to download an app for a fast food place? Going through their website on a phone is a hassle and I don't want a Wendy's app cluttering my phone.

>>15871823
>Why is this normal behavior?
because the majority of the population eats at FF joints A LOT. They know what they want and they eat the same thing every time.

Those of us that don't or just want to see whats new on the menu are the minority.

>>15871823
you've been waiting in line for 5 minutes cunt
you should already know what you want.

>>15871855
>>15871863
>>15871823
this is why Japanese restaurant/store staff have a set script they follow, cuz of fat /ck/ autists like these guys

>>15871881
They had a burger called the "A1 Ultimate bacon Cheese burger". So I ordered it. The girl read back my order and said
>Bacon double cheese burger?
No, "A1 Ultimate bacon Cheese burger".
>Do you want that as a meal,
no.
>anything else
no.
>that will be $1.60.....
You got my order wrong.
>you ordered a cheese burger?
no. I ordered an "A1 Ultimate bacon Cheese burger"
>oh ok"..........
I guess I will get the total at the window.
The sandwich was crap.

>its the same shit since you were six years old

>>15873400
b.c canada in maple ridge, wendys drive thru. fat loser cop just stands next to the true and tickets people the moment they go on their phone. really fucking scummish

>>15873788
no, it's not.

hell half the things that were on the menu when I was 6 are gone, there's all sorts of bullshit gimmick food now.

what was a large coke is now a small, and a large is fucking huge.

I occasionally go to Mcdonalds and order a small coke (normally I get water).

for some reason this confuses the mexican. I have to watch the screen because they will put a large on the order. I will correct them and they will tell me
>but senor it eez thee same price!
I don't care I asked for a small.

Sometimes I get up to the window and they hand me an enormous coke (enough for a small birthday party). I get my order, then dump 3/4 of the drink out in front of the window before leaving.

I am fructose intolerant and drinking more than about 8 oz in a day has unpleasant effects.

>>15873817
tree* not true

>>15873711
>Going through their website on a phone is a hassle
Not sure what to suggest then, anon, other than getting out of your car and walking inside if you want a long gander at the menu.
If there’s a line at the drive thru, you shouldn’t have any difficulty pulling up the menu on your phone.
If there isn’t a line, then there’s literally nothing wrong with telling them “ayo hol up a sec” when you get to the menu because it’s not like you’re holding up the flow.

>>15871861
I would guess it is some marketing crap that supposedly leads to people spending more. Like maybe people who had more time to decide were more likely to decide based on price, where as people who didnt have time to decide made choises based on impulse, whatever caught their eye

>>15873891
I suppose that's why now menus are usually tv screens showing big pictures that consequently have to slideshow between multiple screens because the whole menu doesn't fit like that.

>>15873817
Man, that fucking bites. Sorry you gotta deal with that shit, anon.
In my Burgerstan state, you can’t fuck with your phone while driving, but you also can’t be ticketed for a traffic violation in a private parking lot, or anywhere else that isn’t a public road/highway.

But the faggots in charge made damn sure to give an exception to their “pets”.
>(d) This section does not apply to the following persons:
>(1) Officers of this state or of any county, city, or town charged with the enforcement of the laws of this state, or federal law enforcement officers when in the actual discharge of their official duties;
In other words, cops can fuck around on their phones all they want while driving.

>>15871823
She looks like she screams and gets flush when she cums

It's because you're either looking at me and not the menu and/or you're standing in front of the register. Literally no one cares if you say you need a sec to look at the menu. I actually prefer it so I can take care of BOH stuff without thinking you're about to order.

>believes the anti-white propaganda

I see (((their))) plan has worked perfectly

Why do any of you fags give a flying fuck what some wagie thinks of you? I don't even treat them like real people.

>>15871823
Don't you have queues?
Don't you have self-service machines?
I'm confused, how far is the US behind the rest of the world in retail and hospitality?

>>15871881
>>15873768
Burger King has the worst food and the worst customer service out of any fast food chain. They hire retards who are impatient and don’t understand anything you say.

>>15873822
Lmao then don’t drink over 8oz you pussy, do you not have restraint?

>>15871823
When you walk right up to the register, versus hanging back a bit, you appear ready.

I was a bit annoyed by this druggy-looking black woman who worked at a Moe's at my college cafeteria (a subway-esque place where you ask for specific toppings) and aggressively asked you what you wanted when you were in the second row of a horizontal line and at least one person was between you and the place where you could actually see what they had.

I don't even know why they still bother calling it "fast food" when it takes as long as a casual sit-down place now.
>wait 5-10 minutes behind maybe 2-3 cars at most
>finally get to speaker
>every speaker is fucking old and garbled and you can't hear them and they can't hear you
>finally manage to order after they repeatedly get confused about what you want or keep trying to get you to the window by telling you your total while you still have shit to order
>get to window and they tell you to pull up to the door of the building and sit there for
>someone comes running out 5-10 minutes later with your food
>it's probably wrong

>>15871823
I once told the cashier to shut the fuck up because she tried that yelly pushy shit on me. Just instinctively without even thinking about it. She gave this shocked expression and it was clear she wanted to go off but couldn't because she had to keep her shitty job. Then I just rolled with it and said I don't need this attitude I'm going to mcdonalds and walked out because I knew they were gonna spit in my shit.
Mcdonalds wound up being the better choice. Don't even know why I bother with KFC.

>>15874914
>Don't you have queues?
Of course. How else would you wait to order something?
>Don't you have self-service machines?
You see them sometimes, but realistically it’s already obsolete tech as literally every fast food chain has an app now. No need to wait behind some moron who has trouble navigating a screen.
>how far is the US behind the rest of the world in retail
Zero; it’s several laps ahead. If there’s one thing in which the US is objectively the #1 Undisputed World Champion, it’s retail consumerism.

>>15871823
You're supposed to look at the HUGE ASS LIT UP MENU THAT'S DIRECTLY INF FRON OF YOU AND IS SEEN FROM THE ENTRANCE OR EVEN ANOTHER SIDE OF THE STREET retard AND FUCKING DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT BEFORE GOING TO (short) LINE OR A FREE CASHIER dumb fuck adhd retard how hard is it to choose one from 5 burgers and 3 sizes of fries. Always hated idiots like you standing in front of me in the line. Good thing i can destroy this damn planet even more with 1 person 20-minute long deliveries to my doorstep.

>>15875329
>stand the maximum distance away from the register that I can without looking like a fucking weirdo peering and squinting at the menu from the middle of the room
>clearly appear to be in thought, rubbing my chin and everything
>HAY WUT KNAI GETCHA SIR
fuck you whore

>>15873822
>>but senor it eez thee same price!
Wait, what? How is S and L sizes same prize if it's legit more beverage? Or is the same cup shape shenanigans as they have in bars with glassware, when drink named Big Booty has maybe 5ml more liquid than a shot of vodka but it's poured into a really long glass with tons of ice?

>>15874784
>>>/pol/
And never come back.

>>15875380
>Today I was at my job and some sweaty fat guy told me to shut the fuck up

>>15875471
>be working the counter at Chic-McWendyKingBell-N-Out
>see some guy standing back from the register
>he clearly appears to be in thought, rubbing his chin and everything; I’ll restock until he’s ready to order
>2 minutes pass
>UM, EXCUSE ME! Manager, please! Yeah I’ve been standing here for TWO MINUTES, with NO SERVICE, and I KNOW your cashier saw me, but instead of helping me he was stacking cups!

Such is hourly-pay customer service. That’s why you err on the side of ‘helping’. Complaints about bad service will make your shit job shittier, but complaints about being helped “too quickly” will be laughed at.

>enter food store
>a few steps ahead of someone
>don't approach the counter all the way
>give person behind me a gesture that they can go before me
>They either do so or stay back and look at the menu as well
Wow so hard.

>>15871823
America only

If you'd been there in the last year, you'd realize that board is more fit for faggots like you than anyone else now.

>>15875475
The small containers cost the same as the large ones. And the cost of soda is practically nothing.

>>15872136
Although middle age white women can be pretty annoying, it's pretty obvious that teenagers on reddit and twitter have never spent any amount of time around niggers, who regardless of sex and age will always cause a disturbance.

>some fat, sweaty autist comes in and stares at his feet for five minutes, occasionally looking up at the menu and wiping his brow
>the line is getting backed up, people behind it are grumbling, manager giving me a dirty look
>Welcome to KFC Sir, what would you like to order?
>he doesn't say anything, just stands there kind of mumbling to himself
>Sir what would you like to order?
>he finally looks up, desperately trying not to make eye contact, and brushes his unkempt greasy hair away with an equally greasy meat mitten of a hand
>SH-SH-SSHHHTTHHE SHFUCKP R-ROASTY he blurbs out in a garbled, half-mumbling tone
>What did he even say? Is that even English?
>he looks like he's gonna cry now, his face is turning even redder than it was originally and his wide, jello-like legs are starting to tremble visibly
>I-I don't need this attitude, I-I'm going to my mom's I mean McDonald's he stutters out as his colossal frame turns and moves
>he runs out of the store, clearly exhausted by the effort, and falls over halfway through the parking lot

>>15871842
They're the ones with autism. They see a person standing well back from the counter, not attempting to get attention, and staring up at the menu, and are unable to conclude from body language that this person is not ready to order. Instead they have to rely on routine: see person, ask for order. They're autistic as hell, the whole lot of them.

I tell them I need a minute to decide.

>>15872136
real karens in my experience are typically dumb single coalburners who do shit like order 2 giant footlong steak subs at subway with the works and then explode because it’s not $5 each.

Anyone that eats fast food is retarded. Anyone that eats fast food and then complains about it can fuck off and die.

>can I just get a small coffee
>CAN YOU PULL AHEAD AND WE'LL BRING IT OUT
>15 minutes later some shithead walks out
>yuuuup

>>15876980
Because if they don't some bitch complains on social media that nobody asked for her order.

>>15873768
I love these situations bc I don’t have autism. Sure it takes some time, but any small error assumes you get a full refund and full extra meal normally per corona precautions. Unless it’s not edible, I just call the 1800 on the receipt say how disturbing the food was and that you want refund and coupons. I get free food all the time. Order no guacamole? Oh no I’m super allergic and this was triggering. I may never eat here again, unless I get a 20$ gift card well... then ya know... I may go back. It’s really easy anons just be the Karen and fuck cooperations

>>15875380
That’s actually not a bad option although swearing means they can refuse you service. It’s better to be petty like shushing them or just asking “am I allowed to speak yet?” Or other similar “are you done yet? Bad day at home eh?” And other demeaning things that aren’t technically explicit

>>15875619
I guess that makes sense. I forgive you. I keep forgetting how many retards exist.

>>15871912
Honestly it all depends on where you live and what time you work. You got the easy time of late night with people who are generally more chill. Try working soccer mom hours or the morning rush and then you can talk. Until you have had to deal with parents screaming in your face because you asked them to get their kid to stop throwing food on the ground and stomping on it you can't say shit.

>>15872951
This is pretty much true. The customer is almost always a huge liar who trying to get you in trouble for their benefit.

>>15873822
Autistic af, son and racist to boot.

>>15879693
are you a spic?

>order a standard, medium sized combo meal
>literally one of the numbered meals
>nothing else, no alterations
>"can you please pull forward"
No, thats for people that ordered some super specific crap or a ton of food, I just want a cheeseburger and fries

>>15872136
i never got yelling at the employee, like of course they are going to do as little as possible; you gotta yell at the manager for not managing his subordinates properly he's the one who truly fucked up.

>>15871855
"How can I help you"
is the goat of food service introductions.

>>15871823
Why are you in line if you don't know what you want. You realize you can just stand at the back and stare at the menu, and people will just get in line in front of you, right?

>>15875380
based

>>15871823
>>15871861
How the fuck do you not know what you want by the time you order? It's not like any fast food restaurant has overhauled their menu in the past 20 years you insufferable faggots. They have served the same slop they always have.

>>15871861
>drive through
Disgusting swines

If you're not a native English speaker you have no business being in the drive through. Motscha googie kroombay frappushingo is not a drink we serve. El crossan con ham y sheesh is not a food we serve. No, we don't serve colada nor do we sell diet esprai.

t. South Florida

>>15872243
Just drive while staring at your phone bro!

>>15871881
What kind of stupid faggot goes to burger king for water

>>15871823
You had all the time in the world to look at the menu, nobody forced you to get in line. You could have walked in, looked at the menu, decided what you’d want and then stand in line.

>mfw I worked in a cafe and people would wait until the point of sale to look at the menu and then take forever digging their credit card out of their purse

>>15876704
That was me you cunt

>>15871823
you are severely autistic,

>>15871983
Lmao you're such a fucken autist.

>>15871823
Because in muttland, it is common for people to eat at the same place, getting the same meal, at the same time, on the same days of the week.
It's a disgusting and vicious cycle, and they expect that you are just following the average routine of stuffing greasy fried food down your throat on your lunch break.

>>15881253
You just outed yourself as a great torture victim. I would love to tie you up and put you in a minivan full of fat alabama bitches.

>>15871881
It's based how well it works just to be polite, especially before the workers see you. I just say yes mam no mam, please, and thank you. I always get what I ordered and manage to have warm interactions with even the most ghetto fastfood workers.
