Today was the first time in years that I went into a McDonald's instead of going through the drive-thru window. The drive-thru was closed, it was lunch time, and I didn't have time to drive to an alternative McDonald's location.

I waited in line for a few minutes before I realized I was waiting behind people who were waiting for their order. Waiting in line was felt really uncomfortable and I wasn't used to seeing the menu in that format, so there was about 90-120 seconds of awkward silence when I was still searching the menu while the cashier kept asking me what I wanted.

I felt anxious and almost guilty for ordering an extra sandwich on the side. I said I wanted a Diet Coke and the cashier just gave me an insulting look and said, "uhhh okay". I didn't realize until they handed me the empty cup that we had to fill our own drinks in the back.

I thought they would have packets of ketchup by the drinks, straws, etc. but they only had it in the pumps. I couldn't work up the nerve or patience to wait through the line just to ask for ketchup in packets.

It was a relief to get back to my car and eat in peace. I don't know why *anyone* would choose to order in the restaurant if they have a vehicle. It was just an unpleasant experience.

What is your preference when ordering fast food?

I saved this one from a while back:

I just got back from McDonald's and feel like a piece of shit.

There is a McD's right by my apartment that I go to often. I went there earlier today and got a Quarter Pounder & Cheese, a bacon chicken snackwrap, and a McChicken jr. After work I was craving it all over again and ended up stopping by the drive-thru again.

I was pretty worried the same girl at the first window would still be on shift so I put on a winter hat and put the collar of my jacket up. When I drove up with my exact same order as earlier she was there to take my money.

She said, "you're here AGAIN?" as I was handing her the money while trying to avoid eye contact and I just lost it. I have social anxiety and I ended up retracting my arm so fast I spilled the change all over her side and started stuttering something about "my wife" and then I started to hyperventilate and felt an anxiety attack coming on.

I just floored it and I am so glad there was no one in front of me because I peeled out of there. I can still see her face.

I'll have to start going to a new McDonald's even though the closest one is like 10 minutes away. Maybe I'll switch to Wendy's I don't know.

Anyway, aside for just sharing one of the worst and most embarassing moments of 2013 so far I was wondering how you would have reacted and responded to the cashier's remark.

>> No.4657213

Prefer drive thru, but no problem ordering in person either.

Pretty much all big chain restaurants in the known universe follow very similar procedures. Now that you have mastered how to find the line to stand in, and know that you just order a soft drink size, and have hopefully realized that the menus don't change whether you order from inside or outside a restaurant, and know to ask for ketchup for a to-go order, I don't see how your next visit inside a fast food restaurant would be any big deal for the rest of your life. On the other hand, you've apparently been in one at some previous time in your life, so you'd think all this would have already been covered.

Anyway, in the cases I get fast food I usually walk-in and order it to go, since there's usually no one inside and I get my food faster (the drive-thru line is wrapped around the place, regardless of the restaurant).

Unfortunately, most men and women who are passionate about food typically are not shy. It takes a lot of courage (or blind faith it will taste good) in order to try new foods. Take some Xanax and you wont give a fuck who's in line. Just go straight to the front and ask for that shit.

Most people will give you the right of way if you're just asking for a straw or some ketchup.

Not defending OP's autism, but you've clearly never tried McDonald's takeout.

McDonald's food turns into a horrifying, disgusting, dry mess 10-15 minutes after you receive it.

I mean, it's not far off from that even when hot, but waiting to eat it just makes it absolutely inedible even if you're starving. Feels like chewing cardboard.

aspergers and extreme social anxiety/10

Ive been a cashier at 2 fast food places that were both next to college campuses and I got people like you alot. Nervous, wouldnt look me in the eye, get surprised that i ask questions like "What size would you like that?", sometimes speak too quietly to understand. Fast food workers do judge our customers, alot, its one of the ways we pass the time but why should you care? We'll never pass these judgements on to you or another customer becuase that could mean our jobs. And when you do order slow, the people in line behind you will get angrier at you wayyyyy faster then we will. We're paid no matter how long you take to order your 6 cheeseburgers.

If you want to make every fast food trip a pleasant experience just know that all we cashiers really care about are:

>What you want
>What size
>What flavor drink or ice cream or whatever
>Combo or not
>Extras on your order or a side

If you're afraid of questions then know exactly what you want and say "Thats it" when you're done ordering. Fast Food is designed to be the simplest, least stressful way of getting food ever so its pretty hard to screw up. If you need something like kethup then come and ask for it and dont act like a shy wishy washy bitch becuase then itll take more time for us and stand there and determine what you need then you just telling us explicitly.

And if your afraid of people judging you intensely then i would recommend walking in/up instead of the drive through. When we see your car we see a little slice of your life and we get to know things like how clean you are, how organized, what your hobbies are, how shitty your music tastes are, if you have a wife/gf, what your job is and so on just from what we see. So walkup for you asperger-man.

I enjoy Subway, and my ordering is hyper-efficient to the point where they don't need to ask anything beyond "what can I get you today," but I can totally see where the number of choices would be frustrating to a first time visitor. I mean you take in a huge meandering menu and decide on a turkey sub and figure you're pretty much done. what kind of bread? we have italian, wheat, hearty italian, italian herb & cheese, honey oat, or flatbread. (btw, "wheat" does not claim to be whole wheat, it's uses the same wheat as the other breads but has caramel coloring to make it look healthier.) what size? we have six inch and or foot-longs. toasted or not toasted? what kind of cheese? american, pepper jack, provalone, cheddar and swiss. did you want the cheese toasted too? (now the Sandwich Artist starts taking the next person's order while you're like wtf, then the toasted bread comes back out). what kind of cheese again? what toppings? what kind of peppers? we have green peppers, banana peppers, or jalapeños. any sauces? red wine veinegar, oil, mayonaise, light mayonaise, mustard, and honey mustard. salt or pepper? anything else on that? do you want to make that a meal? (huh?) what size drink? do you want a cookie with that? I mean you can apply for jobs or home loans with fewer questions than that.

I moved to a new town recently and they had this frozen yogurt store. I thought it'd be like TCBY where you just go in, order and they make it for you. No, it's self serve. I've never seen anything like it.

I go in, clueless as to how this works, and there is no attendant at all or any written instructions. I don't know if you pay first or what. I assumed you would, but apparently you don't. So I just sat down and waited for someone else to come in and watched how they did it, then copied them. Turns out you pour your own yogurt and add toppings then they charge you by weight. I've never see anything like it.

Drive-thrus are too difficult. Restaurant eat-ins are a nightmare. Ordering over the phone is an impossibility.

I love those few restaurants that deliver to your house that you can order and pay for entirely over the internet, but the food still appears at your house 20 minutes later. All you have to do is answer the door and take the food.

So you can eat the food as fresh and hot as possible. Cold fast food is horrible, and only disgusting pigs eat in the car.

Also, it's often faster to order at the counter than it is to wait through the drive-thru when some dumbass soccer mom ahead of you tries to sort out the order for a vanload of children.

Walk-in is better for many reasons.

If you order from the drive-thru after someone at the walk-in counter you will get your food first. The problem with that is the food you get was rushed and often not put together very well. I've had drinks where the contents where mostly ice and burgers that look like they've been thrown into the box or squished in the wrapper.

In the drive-thru window you often don't have to time to check your order or to make sure EVERYTHING you ordered was not only made right but is actually in the bag. A co-worker of mine had half is order missing by the time he got home. That's money and food he never got back. Because neither of us wanted to drive there and back for 20 mins after a long day of work.

Most walk-in places have free refills, so order the cheapest size and just get up and refill. But then again a medium size is more than anyone could need of watered down coke.

Napkins. Can't say enough about those. Drive-thru get you 1 or 2 of them in the bag.

I've read alot in this thread about people eating in their cars. I don't think i've ever seen anyone do this. Is this common in the United States of America? Why would you dirty your car with crumbs, salt and who knows what else? And why would you eat in a parking lot? Even as a child i took my food that i didn't eat in store to a park table or something of the sorts

You get get an infinite amount of anything while at the counter. Sauces, dips, vinegar, even some toppings in your food. (ask for extra pickles or something, they often say yes.)


This is clear that people know about this in this thread. You order from drive thru and it didn't do well after 10-15 mins in the car. Fast-food seems to breakdown quickly.

Lastly, nearly all the fast-food places need delivery. I've heard some rare places and places in asia do it.

No, you're fucking not. None of those employees are paid solely to clean up after your sloppy ass.

This is actually not true. Drive-thru is always prioritized in a fast food environment, because the fast food lines are timed. Times are supposed to be kept under a certain time and stores/districts are ranked. It's one of the only indicators that your store functions besides the money you rake in, and most stores tend to make about the same in terms of profit if management is intelligent about ordering supplies.

Exactly, but it needs to be cleaned regardless. There are regulations and policies on cleanliness in restaurants, especially for a major chain like McDonalds. If cleanliness can't be maintained with their current staff, then they just hire more people who can do most of the jobs, including cleaning. Simple as that.

My particular 7-11 served pizza, chicken, empanadas, mini tacos, and all manner of rolling shit. Not to mention the source of the biggest mess in the store, the coffee bar. Joe DePinto has even said that he wants to change 7-11's image from being a gas station that happens to sell food to a food store that happens to sell gas. I handled food in much the same way as any fast food joint, and had bigger messes to clean up from lazy fuckwits without a shred of human fucking decency.

Yes, part of our job in the service industry is keeping the place clean. But that is not a focus of our job, and we *do* have better things to do than an unnecessary amount of picking up after shitheads.

Yes, I used to go to Jack in the Box and then drive the quarter mile down to the waterfront and just park and eat it while watching the seagulls. After the first time I just brought a plate and couch pillow to rest it on my lap with, and just some hand sanitizer to clean up. It's better than getting out and eating on the asphalt.

Besides, 9/10 when they hand you a soda via drive-thru the damn thing is overflowing so it drips into the cup holder anyway. My cup holders are a disaster zone from all the dried soda I can't get off. A few crumbs I can vaccuum out later aren't a big deal.

In highschool I used to get stoned with a friend and go to the drive through a lot. We'd eat in his car while listening to music.

I've always preferred walking in (which is not the same as eating in) compared to drive thrus for a few reasons. First, I've never had much confidence in my driving ability. I used to be terrified of driving through that tiny drive thru lane for fear of just wrecking everything. Secondly, it's hard to communicate through the order box or whatever it's called. I can't hear them, they can't really hear me. It's awful.

But most importantly, if I want them not to put 3-4 slices of their nasty ass plastic cheese, it's easier for them to understand me if I'm talking to them face to face, and easier for me to check for fuck ups when not in my truck.

Sometimes, walking in is quicker too.

The cashier shouldn't have been pestering you to order, but don't do this shit. Know what you want before you step up to the counter. You especially shouldn't order one thing and then take a while to order the next one. Orders have timers and having bad times impacts our jobs outside of taking a while for your order.

>I felt anxious and almost guilty for ordering an extra sandwich on the side.
Nobody cares about that. We've all seen worse.

Your cashier sounds like she deserves to be written up.

>I couldn't work up the nerve or patience to wait through the line just to ask for ketchup in packets.
If all you want is something like a water cup or condiments just walk up to the counter and ask, don't wait in line.

>I don't know why *anyone* would choose to order in the restaurant if they have a vehicle. It was just an unpleasant experience.
Ordering your food fresh is more convenient if you come inside and ordering your food fresh is something you should ALWAYS do at fast food places that allow that. Most do.
