Lol, no, that did never happen

I give normal orders at restaurants and the staff there are too brainless to follow it properly, does that count?

Stuff like: No "dressing on my salad", or "give me a hashbrown" is one they find especially tricky.

>>16030710
I tell them things like "Give me the butter." and if they don't give me the butter I slap it away and say "NO! I DON'T WANT THAT!"

No mayo
No mustard
No pickles
That's it

>>16030663
I give big orders, and then they usually forget something.

>>16030663
hope you enjoyed your spit and pubic hairs

My fifth grade teacher once ordered a cheese less cheeseburger, when the wage threw a 404 he complained that he wanted a hamburger.

some newfag just found out about dunkey i see

>>16030663
I once asked for no ketchup on a burger from mcdonalds and they gave me extra ketchup and no patty. They can barely handle the fucking number combo system let alone a special order

>>16030663
I order grilled cheese from McDonald’s which is just the bread flipped backwards and a few slices of cheese inbetween, pretty sure I’m a joke there since the last I ordered my food when they called my number the lady was smiling at me

>>16031092
>add spit
just pick and wipe off the shit you don't like, or just eat it you tastelett

>>16033120
At McDonald's the food comes sealed so they can't personally spit in your order. They prepared it before you got there.

>>16030663
Oof dude, at the Mcdonalds stores I worked at they would've spat in your food if you tried to pull that off

>>16033169
That's why I do it and then just walk out. What are they gonna do about it?

why does every mcdonalds ive ever been to forget to put the sauce in the bag 50% of the time?

Complicated orders go directly against my own interests.

The people who might work at a fast food restaurant are the dumbest people in the city, if I give them a complicated order, I will inevitably get something that I don't want.

Therefore I describe my orders as I would to a small child, so that they can understand and give me my tendies without any problems.

>>16033281
if youre so smart why do you eat at mcdonalds

>>16030663
Ever get stuck behind some woman in a drive through? They're always ordering like 14 bags of food, and every single fucking this is
>number 7 with extra onions
number three minus lettuce
>number four with no mustard
>fries extra crispy but just those fries no others
and on and on it goes. I don't know why they're like this. Every fucking time, though.

>>16033295
Well the answer to that is simple.

I have never ordered anything from a fast food restaurant on my own

>>16030663
that's not a fast food joint if ur ordering like that. there is a menu behind the cash register or at the drive thru. you pick what is listed on the menu. some places have auto order systems.

so u can pick a menu item and add stuff like ketchup or mayo or extra patty or extra cheese or something. even ask if they can put half sprite and half pepsi or something like that.

oh yeah, i dont order meals from mcdonalds, i name every item individually. in australia we dont have 'number 1 number 2' etc, i dont even know what the meal i get is called, but everytime i order its like this:

drive thru: hi welcome to mcdonalds what would you like
me: ill have a hamburger with no pickles, large fries, 6 nuggets and a large diet coke
drive thru: *repeats it* anything else?
me: thats all thanks
drive thru: would you like me to put it in a meal so itll be cheaper
me: yes please
them: that comes to *amount* drive through

one time the person in front of me at the drive through had a license plate that said "blknloud"

the driver was white

>>16033297
women (especially the older and fatter) have ZERO regard for other people in line. they have no problem using every coupon paying with a check. it's literally why i only do my grocery shopping at 11pm now. all single dudes who are in and out.

>>16030663
i read what's on the menu:
>welcome to wendy's, may i take your order?

>may i have a biggie bag with a dr. pepper and sriracha?

>you want the 2 for 5 with a single and what else?

>no. a biggie bag with a dr. pepper and sriracha

>oh, the biggie bag...what kind of drink?

>dr. pepper

>and what kind of sauce for the nuggets?

>sriracha

>you want it medium or large?

>no, thank you.

>ok, $5.41 at the second window

this happened today while i was getting rained on. i'd almost swear Shaniqua did that on purpose.

>>16030663
I just go up and say "can I get a large Big Mac meal with coke and a Mars McFlurry" or something to that affect because I'm not the kind of sperg who'd chat that kind of shit at fucking Maccy-Ds.

>>16033387
What's in a biggie bag?

>>16030663
Somebody vocaroo this shit

>>16032622
You are a literal manchild you even have a fucking toy HAHAHAHAHA

Done

>>16033521
Kek thanks chum

>>16030663
No. I hate when people do this because 90% of the time they get it wrong anyway and then people complain and it just wastes everyone's time and money. "I'll have a medium #5 meal and that's all" with card ready in hand to pay. Its fast food. Be fast. If you don't like what it comes with don't order it or don't eat there.

>>16033506
bacon doublestack
small fries
4 pc niggets
small drink

>>16030663
Order modifications are easier through the app. For instance, my typical McDonald's order

>>16033671
was your order correct upon receipt?

>>16033671
Dude you can literally get two McDoubles for $3 what are you doing

>>16030663
No, because I don't like the taste of other people's spit.

>>16030663
No, because my sense of entitalment is not so big that I expect some poor overworked underpaid slave to go out of their way to do extra work for me.

>>16033690
Every time

>>16033731
Fuck mcdoubles

>>16033671
Ok movieblob

>>16033671
Holy shit, it only costs $16 for 8 double cheeseburgers? No wonder Americans are so fat.

>>16030663
I order big orders, then retract them.

I also NEVER pull up to wait if they "instruct" me to. Just a waste of my time to pull up when I'm already at the window?

>>16033851
So you just sit there holding up the line?

>>16030734
>I tell them things like "Give me the butter." and if they don't give me the butter I slap it away and say "NO! I DON'T WANT THAT

>>16030734
Hell yeah. Make those wagies dance.

>>16033816
>Fuck mcdoubles
why?

>>16033671
>3 mayonnaise
>8 burgers
24 mayonnaises
Fat

>>16034146
The extra slice of cheese is worth it to me to get double cheeseburgers over Mcdoubles

>>16034494
Aren't double cheeseburgers and McDoubles the same thing?

>>16031349
>karen orders a cheeseburger, no cheese
>"so a hamburger then?"
>"no, i said a CHEESEBURGER with NO CHEESE"
>"Ma'am, a hamburger and a cheeseburger no cheese are literally the same thing"
>"I DONT CARE, I WANT A CHEESEBURGER WITH NO CHEESE"
>inb4 Do AmErIcAnS rEaLly????????

I do enjoy going to a sit down place, and asking the zoomie waitresses for virgin screwdrivers and diet water. I tip double my usual if they catch on and play along.

>>16031236
When do you usually order? Because if it's during the lunch rush, then yeah, they'll forgot something since they have to serve like a 100 other costumers.

>>16030663
I like to ask for off menu items to test their patience

>>16033307
Why do you associate with people who eat at fast food places?

>>16030663
>Order burger
>request it with only cheese and lettuce
>be served bun with cheese and lettuce

>>16034540
The only difference is the mcdouble has 1 slice of cheese whereas the double cheeseburger has 2.

The mcdouble was actually a great marketing ploy as McDonald's was able to keep a double cheeseburger on the $1 menu when they needed to raise prices

>>16034895
You can't fault them for following your instructions correctly.

>>16033120
It's literally easier for them to make it without that stuff. How retarded are you? Do you just post whatever dumb cliche you can think of in every situation?

>>16033329
Why not say "hamburger meal"? I've never worked there but from how they punch shit into the till, it seems like the workflow is easier if they know it's a meal beforehand. Maybe some wagie can correct me.

>>16033671
do amerifats really order 8 cheeseburgers holy shit its not a meme.

>>16035184
you're correct, and it's been a long time since I ran a window but you're also both decreasing a store metric when you remove items you've already input (which is a shit system since idiot ordering take back shit or say shit wrong constantly), and there's also a metric that incentivizes combos/etc as on the whole those are considered upsells. so even if you sold, say, every item in a wendys 4for4 individually 50 times, while you'd make more money, your upsell would be lower than otherwise, both because you'd have less 4for4 sales compared to nearby stores, the combo is considered an upsell, I guess they've figured on the whole more people get a combo as a 'oh it's cheaper' but you're still spending more than you would because you probably don't need a 1400kcal meal even once a day, whereas if you just buy individual 4for4 items they're just small items, unless they're talked into upsizing those it's taking away from your upsize quota, it's basically a lose/lose situation. additionally they always told me to ask "medium or large?" when someone orders a combo, basically implying small doesn't even exist, about half the time when someone was asked that they replied "does small not exist...?", and a shockingly large amount of people would reply that it doesn't matter... I'd 99% just ask, decidedly different from instruction, "would you like to make that medium or large" instead, which worked well and wasn't a shitty devious way to try and scam our beloved retarded customers. anyways all our metrics basically work to fuck you over one way or another unless you're one of the top 5% earning district stores, and even then they're the only ones receiving the labor budget to allow for that success. remember to rate and subscribe.

>>16035139
Fast repetitive tasks are much easier when they're the same every time. Any type of alteration to standard process is a little speed bump.

>>16035252
Curious: I usually abuse the apps to order. Especially in recent years all their "coupons" have been through the app readily. I'll use McDonald's specifically as my example: I often make 2 orders (since it's 1 coupon per order), one right after the other. I usually end up with a decent quantity of food for like $5CDN. So far they've usually figured out it's all one person and everything's served to me effortlessly. I've never had anyone mention anything, but that doesn't mean much.

Do you know if this is particularly annoying? Does this reflect poorly for the store? I don't care if I'm somehow abusing corporate for like $3 off but I would feel a little bad if it fucks up employee/franchise performance by jewing in this manner.

>>16030663
Only at in n out ad chick fil-a cause they hire young people whose first language is English.

The rest? Fuck no, McDonald's is the worst though I swear their illegal employees are shipped in with their lettuce.

>>16035295
so I left right before the apps hit us (thank god), I'd imagine for the people serving you it's not annoying, just a normal order, if anything a little easier since you don't have to deal with lemegetuhhhhhhhh shit, if you're not literally bug abusing the app it's probably minutely subsidized by corporate and still a positive in the system since they've figured they get people to make a visit to the store that would not have otherwise be made, justifying a tighter profit margin; this is also often a way of getting people 'in the door,' so if you get a, idk, fucking burger for half off but still piss away money on a fountain drink that's at most 30 cents to them, that will recover whatever the coupon lost. this is astoundingly common but people are just so mentally absent they'll go somewhere for a deal and then just dropping money like it doesn't exist on dumb shit they don't need. lastly it's also competitive for them to even offer coupons in the first place, since as long as one restaurant has any similar deal that specifically attracts customers, that's their entire market share until you decide to compete with it

>>16035307
>cause they hire young people whose first language is English.
who you think work in kitchen, cabron?

>>16035346
Nah senpai, innout has a open windows for the kitchen it's all legal 20 somethings in there.

>>16035339
Well I KNOW it's annoying that I use the curbside pickup, but that's only due to covid where the only alternative is picking it up in drive thru. The couple times I've done it through drive thru (after ordering on the app) I just got the feeling it fucks with their flow even more than having to walk out to my car.

They've never fucked up one of my mobile orders that I can remember, so my assumption there is that the machines printing the order receipts and the cooks are less inclined to fuck ups than the ESL working the till.

Having said that McDonald's in my area at least seem on top of their shit. Burger King has been a nightmare the last couple times I tried it, same with Wendy's. They don't see nearly as much traffic and I honestly think their employees are just somehow worse at their jobs. Orders wrong, takes longer, food's cold.. Idk how McDonald's has better quality control while being the cheapest. Quantity I guess.

>>16035382
How do you know they're legal? Have you personally seen their papers? Didn't think so.

>>16030663
At McDonald's I just order the 2 cheeseburger meal with mac sauce. This has never been an issue whenever I order it. Big Macs have too much lettuce.

>>16034806
Holy shit I can't stop laughing

>>16031092
all three brands of tastelet. you want them to change your diaper while they're at it?

>>16030663
cant do custom orders at fast food places in this country.
you order exactly off the menu or you go somewhere else.

>>16033731
not him but McDoubles are $6.95 ea what are you talking about

I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.

>>16035609

Not that anon but what's wrong with someone who dislikes a specific taste? I don't get mayo on mine because fat on fat tastes disgusting

>>16035618
legitimate question, do american stores really use the numbers on the menu for ordering
what the fuck is a number 9?

>>16033120
>wipe mayo
>absorbs even deeper into the bread

>>16035627
not very common but i've seen people do it.

>>16035627
It's probably helpful for large orders. So that the line isn't held up by a paragraph of food items being read off.

>>16035627
It's rare for there to be enough items on the menu for there to be a number 9, but people definitely use the numbers here for convenience.
As for "what" each number is, that varies based on the restaurant.

>>16035627
>>16035636
It's mostly a convenience thing for the undereducated staff. They put the numbers on the signboard for that reason since most earlier POS stations/registers didn't have fancy displays and were basically just "push the 1 key for this item, push the 2 key for this item", etc. Rather than having the new staff spend half an hour scouring the keypad for a specific item, they gave all the major commonly ordered items and combos a number and programmed the machine with it.
