it's actually funny to watch as someone who works tangential to the industry but not actually in it, it's so extremely common you would think it would be harped on in management training

Why do you make excuses for these people?

>patient and always polite to fast food workers
>I get it, it's not the best job, so I try to be kind
>some nigger basically throws my food at me
>BBQ sauce when I asked for honey mustard, ranch and buffalo
>zero napkins
>zero caring or human decency
So what did I do wrong here?

>>18122039
because you are today's faceless drone #398 awaiting his processed hog anus slivers and the employee hates his fucking job and probably is your typical emotionally underdeveloped retard, it's really not complicated to understand

it's not about making excuses, it's about stopping for a minute and considering that you opted into this experience

>>18122039
>So what did I do wrong here?
ordered fast food.

Welcome to the industrial world.

Just learn to cook your food at home and stop looking for attention and indirect affection in public spaces, coming from strangers.

>>18122039
Your first mistake was being polite to blacks

In Japan it's still fast and cheap and they never fuck up my order. One time they called my phone to ask if it was okay for them to deliver my order a little bit earlier and apologised.
The only difference is they are super autistic here, you can't add or remove stuff from menu items or ask for things they are not allowed to give you. I remember some white guy asking for mayo and the manager was like, Sorry. No mayo. He started spazzing out and had to settle for ketchup while everyone behind him looked annoyed at him.

>>18122039
And you're still spending money on fast food.
Imagine being retarded. The moment you see this shit you stop buying from them.

>>18121925
>no longer fast
>no longer cheap
that's the thing. Every now and again I'm tempted to go get a quick bite from a local burger joint, but there's always lines around the building and it's like what's even the point? Why am I going to wait in line for twenty minutes to pay $14 for a shitty burger and limp fries prepared by some high school age darky that doesn't give a shit about their job? Fast food has become a massive waste of time and money.

>>18123962
They do add or remove stuff from the menu without any issue, they just don't want to deal with you.

the black guy at mcdonalds drive thru window gave me a second blue raspberry fanta slushy and when i said i already had mine he casually shook his head and motioned for me to keep it.

I've been noticing fast food has been cost creeping upwards making them such a shitty buy when I could upgrade to fast casual for 1.25-1.5x more cost but with a more than 2x food value proposition, however even fast casual is not safe. The fucking zoomers behind this one local hipster sandwich doesn't know what the fuck belongs in a BLTA... the ingredients are in the fucking name. I'm afraid the quality of food will continue to decline despite cost inflation because the humans being employed are becoming worse and worse. Like, how the fuck do you not know what's in a BLTA?

I watched this happen to the store I worked at.

somehow im the only one in my city who noticed that getting a burger at a local diner or bar or something is only marginally more expensive than eating at a fast food place these days, so i just do that instead. fast food seems completely pointless now.

Based, that's the way it should be. Order from the menu or cool your own damn food, picky faggot. Your special snowflake orders only fuck shit up anyway.

Thanks for letting us all know you are making this shit up.

>>18121925

I couldn't agree more. I've bascially stopped going to fast food restaurants unless someone else is paying, with Chik Fil A being the only exception. Everywhere else is a complete crapshoot whether or not there are employees who are properly trained or care enough to make the food properly. The prices are also reaching absurd levels for the slop they churn out.

lol no thats the most real thing in his whole story. I got banned from reddit subs for not using "she" when referring to that faggot. And reddit is antifa central

I would honestly not be surprised if a good chunk of drivethru type fastfood chains close in the next year.

>>18122039
Expecting basic human decency is now racist, and to even suggest it will bring seething leftists out the woodwork.

>>18127340
yes yes wagie now make my extra cheese extra steak quesadilla.

>>18121925
Sounds like you need to stop being a bitch and learn how to make things yourself

>>18127402
>No coupons
That irks me to no end. They claim each store is just a franchise. They should force each fucking store to accept the coupons.

>>18127433
kek it's so transparent when these wagies come into these threads and suggest asking for extra pickles or no tomatoes is somehow some big egregious violation of decency.


shut the fuck and make my order before I ask to speak to the manager

>>18122039
>So what did I do wrong here?
You got emotionally invested in hour a fast food drone acted towards you. If customer service people are polite to me I'm polite to them, and if they aren't I treat them like a human vending machine and don't say a single word I don't have to for the transaction. Simple as

The no longer fast part is the funniest to me. I saw somewhere on financial news mcdonalds was trumpeting that they had gotten the average drive thru wait really low, like lowest of all time or something they said. So i got to thinking how that could be, and i think they must of used a number where the timer starts when the kid is done talking to you through the speaker, and the timer ends when the kid at the window tells you to go park in spot 3 to wait an hour for the fat kid to bring it out.

I bet another major factor, beyond the labor burnout, is online ordering for pickup/delivery. No time to relax because there will be a dozen orders coming in online.

>expecting basic caring or human decency from a nigger

Just learn to cook. Relying on goyslop for sustenance is a Hell in and of itself. It takes time (attempts) to learn, but the cooking itself is really quick. Sorry if you have an electric oven though.
Not cooking for yourself ended up being a form of slavery to the Bilderberg Group. Cooking is freedom.

What the prices did across the 2010s I'd call creeping up. What they've done for the last 2 years I'd call Weimar Hyperinflate. Every menu item is at least 25% more expensive than it was. A fucking burger, just the burger, at McDicks is $6 now.

I was just thinking about this the other day but McDonald's is hella expensive now. Costs like 12 bucks for a chicken nugget meal or something like that. Fuck it I'll just stay home and make food

>>18125060
Antifa are the only reason you have a job, otherwise the capitalist would enslave you fucking UNGRATEFUL prick

Maybe have the United States give other nations our gold reserves as required payments for debts and you might see the kind of fucking instability needed to recall the Weimar inflation.
I'm not splitting hairs - if you're still using USD to pay for the burger it's not comparable.
