if you were in such a rush why didn't you walk inside where, if it took too long, you could walk away instead of being stuck forever

>>6495030
Or don't shovel shit into your mouth the first moment your job lets you slink away. Pack a sandwich or wait, whiny bitch

>>6495044
>if you were in such a rush why didn't you walk inside

Because it wouldn't have been a problem for me (or the dozen+ people behind me...) if the stupid fuck'n soccer mom hadn't ordered 9000 specially made items during the lunch hour rush.

The local McDonalds is very much on-the-ball and (if there isn't a stupid fuck'n soccer mom screwing it up) will usually have your food hanging out the window as you drive up.

> or wait, whiny bitch

Howabout you go in the restaurant if you're going to order $900 worth of shit for your ADD-addled kids, you lazy self-centered bitch?

If you have so little time to go out for lunch, why aren't you bringing one from home?

Stop blaming other people for your problems.

peasant.

I was stuck in line once and the car in front of me, no shit ordered like 7 combo meals. All with special instructions. She finally gets all her food and then she proceeds to pull up just a tad so you'll have to drive around her, gets out, opens the side of her minivan and feed all of her fucking kids right there in line. Nearly all of them were in car seats and she's feeding them combo meals. Yea I was mad and very hungry.

OP should have prepared better tasting, more nutritious food at home and brought to along to work, he would have saved the money (and pollution) costs of driving, AND avoided the stress of a social interaction.

then order something ahead of time from a restaurant and just go pick it up

She ended up cussing me out in the drive thru, and demanded a refund and the free food plus coupons for next time for her 'inconvenience'.

Then I had to deal with complaints from the next people in line for waiting too long. Fun times.

As I mentioned, I didn't have anything at home to make for lunch.

> why are you getting so testy about needing it quickly

Because I only get a 1/2 for lunch and have to use that very limited amount of time to drive to McDonalds, wait in the drive-thru line, order my food, pay for it and get back to work so I can eat, hopefully leaving me 15 mins out of my 8 hour+ workday to take a fuck'n break.

An unemployed soccer mom has ALL DAY to do whatever the fuck she wants and shouldn't be using the drive-thru between 11:00-12:00 when the burger joint is swamped with people who have actual jobs and minimal time to eat.

This is just as shitty behavior as showing up at a restaurant 20mins before closing and asking for a 12-course meal, or a dozen people running the waitress ragged, then leaving a $1.50 tip, all of which you guys would be up-in-arms about.

>>6495030
Either that or the restaurant should accommodate for this by adding a "12 items or fewer" drive through.

I feel your pain on having to wait for food during lunch hour, though. I went to a local fish place, ordered a fried haddock sandwich (seriously takes like 60 seconds), waiting 15 minutes, went back and told them I only had 10 minutes to eat before going back to work.

His response? "So and so who ordered 20 things for his whole family was ahead of you, you have to wait."

I told him to refund me and that I was never going back to his shit hole.

Seriously pisses me off when restaurants directly targeting lunches can't figure out that most people have 30-60 minutes for lunch. Some even less.

>>6495304
Goddamn you're an entitled fuck. You wanna be a big boy with a "8+ hour" workday and act superior because you have an "ACTUAL job" (maybe it's her day off, queermo), but then bitch and moan about not getting your garbage "meat" and salty bullshit fast enough. Jesus Christ, anon, you are such a fucking baby, I can't even stand it. Let me guess; your "actual" job is a summer gig your parents made you get because you're out of school for the semester? And you didn't bring lunch because mom didn't have time to make tendies for you? And when you get home you're gonna post the "REEE" meme all over /r9k/, aren't you?

>>6495318
No, he's right. Anyone who has ever worked in a real restaurant on the lunch shift knows specifically to expedite any orders for single diners and that people often only have a short time to eat.

I learned this by cooking *before* I had a 9-5, and I get specifically irked by places that feel the need to keep things "fair and in order" when the big family doesn't care and I need to get back to work.

>>6495328

Sure, but since when is McDonald's a "real restaurant"?

Also, if the drive-thru line is really so long then why not just skip it? Park. Walk in. Order your food to go. Much faster than the drive-thru.

>>6495364
>Sure, but since when is McDonald's a "real restaurant"?
Making it even more of a travesty. The point of McDonalds is "get something really fucking fast. I don't care if it's cheap and shit, I just need it fast."

If they can't get something done for you fast, then they have failed at literally the only thing McDonalds is supposed to be good at.

>long
From what I'm gathering, the line was fairly short, just held up by a single person ordering too much food for a drive through.

>skip it
Nearly impossible to do once you're already in the line and someone pulls up behind you.

>>6495174

M8 people who pay with checks are the worst. They're almost exclusively over-entitled white baby boomers with a heavy lolbertarian/neocon streak who, despite paying for everyday transactions using the monetary equivalent of a VCR, get upset when their transaction takes three times as long, and get uppity as fuck when you have to take their ID.

Soccer moms and Mexican women are running a close race for second.

>>6495328

Thank you.

Now that I think about it some more, a better and simpler policy would be when the stupid soccer mom who orders a bazillion items during the lunch hour rush shows up at the 2nd pick-up window, she is immediately told to go to the park-and-wait space while all the other people can proceed thru the line.

After all, she has all the time in the world and should expect a delay when ordering a ton of shit.

>>6495249
Maybe they were working a job and taking care of their children. Which is something that seems to be strange to you.

>>6495380
Boy, you seem to know her schedule really well. Why don't you just go ask her not to do that yourself? Just pop in on her anytime, since you know for sure she has all the time in the world.

That's an incredibly reasonable solution, and one I would endorse.

She's inconveniencing everyone by doing that. If she can wait for her food to be ready, she can also wait for others to make their order.

McDonalds should be well staffed enough to accommodate this during a lunch rush.

What McDs needs to do is take a bulldozer to the drive-thru ordering menu/intercom. If you want to stay in your car, you'd order from browser or app and pay electronically (e.g. with a credit card), or you'd have to go inside. The browser or app displays an estimated time until it's ready, like any carryout/delivery-focused restaurant, adjusted in real time since they have networked order-tracking computers up the kazoo in every McD, and it displays when your order is actually ready for pickup, at which point you drive to the pickup window, authenticate who you are, and pick up your food. The whole "talk into a Alexander Graham Bell style intercom" model is so fucking over. Drop the 19th century technology, and if someone doesn't have a phone able to interact with the system, they can go inside order like people ordered in prehistoric times.

Sure, but why would you ever wait that long to make the decision? As you are pulling into the parking lot you scope out the line at the drive-thru. If the line is short, then go for it. If the line is long you head straight for the parking lot instead.

>>6495451

>>6495455
>why would you ever wait that long to make the decision?
Where do you live? Bumfuck Iowa? In every city or town I've ever lived, lunch rush at a fast food burger place means a car pulls up behind yours within seconds. If the soccer mom was next in line after the person currently ordering, there's literally no way of knowing you're going to be spending 10/15 lunch minutes waiting for someone else to get their order.

What you're saying is an unreasonable expectation, unlike OP's.

>Only getting half an hour for lunch

>>6495455
>Sure, but why would you ever wait that long to make the decision?

As I mentioned up-thread, this McDonalds is very fast during the lunch hour rush and it's usually never a problem to get in and get out in a few mins.

The problem arises when a dumbass soccer mom with a mini-van load of little kids decides _this_ would be the perfect time to order dozens of specially made items. At that point, you've already burned X amount of your limited lunch time go to the restaurant and will only burn more time driving down the road to the next joint, where you'll roll the dice to see if another stupid soccer mom has gotten there before you.....

It's literally throwing a wrench into the system.

The soccer mom should either go before 11:00 or after noon, or the restaurant should immediately shuffle her off to the park-and-wait spot.

>>6495469
>Where do you live?

Houston TX.

>car pulls up behind yours within seconds
How so? You pull into the parking lot. You haven't yet commited to entering the drive-thru line yet. You then look at the line. If the line is short, you move your car to the line. If the line is long, you never even get into the line and you park instead.

>>if the soccer mom was the one ordering
Yes, that's true. Yet another reason to forgo the drive-thru line entirely and to park and go inside the restaurant instead.

>>unreasonable expectation
How so? It's a decision that takes less then a second to make. Heck, I usually determine whether to hit the line or the park before my car has even pulled into the restaurant. You can see the line from quite a distance away.

I think that some people are simply too lazy to get out of their vehicle and walk a little, even though it's faster overall. Either that or too socially anxious to go inside and talk to someone in person.

>>6495481
>You then look at the line. If the line is short, you move your car to the line. If the line is long, you never even get into the line and you park instead.
Okay, how about this scenario?

>only 3 cars: two sedans and a minivan
>decide to pull into drivethrough
>first sedan in and out in a minute
>car pulls in behind you

>spends 25 minutes waiting for $400 worth of McDonalds
>late to work, speed eat what is essentially dogfood
You don't seem to be thinking this through. It's actually pretty easy to find yourself in this situation. I've been in it before, all except for the late to work part because I work in the city and never drive anywhere for lunch.

>>6495481

The drive-thru is much faster 99% of the time, as most people have jobs and need to get back to them in a hurry and thus ain't fuck'n around;

"Hello, welcome to Mc..."
"I'll have a #2 with a Coke."
"Thank you, your total....

>>6495488

I actually did a science fair project on that several years ago when I was still in high school. I sat in the parking lot and timed people with a stopwatch. In my testing walking in was faster about 80% of the time. the drive-thru doesn't save much time, rather it's a convenience for people who don't want to get out of their car. You think it's faster, but it rarely is.

>>6495490
>Sure, the scenario you describe could happen. But you'd avoid the majority of the delays in most cases. I never claimed what I was proposing was 100% perfect.
You know what *would* be 100% perfect? If the restaurant realized to whom they cater (poors, people in a rush) and set aside obscenely long orders during the lunch rush to prioritize individuals.

>Agreed. Thinking things through would involve bringing a lunch to work thereby completely avoiding the annoying delays and shit-tier food common to McD's.
Don't get me wrong-- I don't know why on earth OP thought McDonalds was acceptable for lunch. I get Wendy's every once in a great while, but I'm talking fewer than 4 times a year. Bringing a bagged lunch is smarter and cheaper, but sometimes I want to go out for lunch. Of course, for me, that means getting real food.

That being said, I'm not here to judge OP's taste in lunch food. I'm here to address the point that if a restaurant specifically caters to people on lunch breaks (as many do), they should be hyper sensitive to the single diner.

>>6495493

Are you fucking kidding me? That's the exact OPPOSITE of what the drive through should be for! Drive-thru should be for quick orders, not for a car full of people all getting separate menu items while all playing separately. Just fucking go inside where there are most likely multiple cashiers who can help you! It defeats the purpose of quick service!

>>6495513
I know people are stupid, but the system isn't that hard. At first it would need a big ad campaign explaining it, and signs posted explaining it, but it's like self-checkout lanes in the grocery, within a couple years even some 50 year olds can use them. And if someone can't, there's always the door. Drive-thru should be like an express lane at grocery stores, it's not for everybody, it's for people who meet criteria that will allow them to get in and out fast. Don't meet the criteria? Then you go inside and get slow service, or go to an even more paleolithic burger chain that still uses intercoms and a first-in/first-out drive-thru queueing system.

It's perfectly legitimate for someone to want to go out on their lunch break. That's why restaurants have something called a "lunch menu."

>>6495546
I've been to this sushi restaurant once that did use a similar system. It gets explained beforehand, but afterwards you just file in your exact orders on an tablet, and it gets processed automatically. Pretty neato.

But there's always old people like >>6495552
says. And generally a lot of the people that eat at fast food chains are not the type to want a system like that in place (yet)

>>6495553
Okay, but lunch, as a concept, isn't exclusively for people in the middle of a workday. So it's still your fault if you CHOOSE to go somewhere and it takes forever. McDonald's doesn't owe you shit regarding OTHER paying customers.

Why? It's not safe to leave all those children in the mini van by themselves, and it's illegal. Also, more people go inside to order their food. It would greatly inconvenience those people if the mom brought all those kids inside to order.

Think about it. Soccer moms are practical and safety minded. :)

When it comes to restaurants, it pretty much is.

I worked at a very nice place that had a separate lunch menu, and I've never seen a cook get yelled at more than when he took more than 10 minutes to finish a dish during the lunch rush.

>>6495575

>>6495566

Except that for the vast majority of people with jobs, it is exclusively the only time they can get lunch.

An unemployed soccer mom on the other hand, has all the time in world to get lunch and can easily go before 11:00 or after noon and not jam up a bunch of other people.

We're talking about McDonald's, bro. That's like comparing the customer service in the clothing department between Walmart and Barney's. The managers at McDonald's are just gonna go smoke a joint behind the dumpster.
If we're talking strictly fast food, then no, the "restaurant" doesn't owe a customer shit just because another person who likely paid even more money had a complicated order that took longer. Should they? I don't know, I'm not a business owner. All I know is, if they lose one or two customers due to not cordoning off soccer moms, I don't think they're sweating it.

>>6495591
You keep throwing out that the soccer mom had nothing to do. How in the everloving fuck do you know this?

I don't need to be a world class chef to smell shit, buddy.

I already stated the target demo: poor people and people in a rush.

OP is at least one of those.

>>6495678
>OP is at least one of these
And the mother with children is who the happy meal is directed at, so your point really isn't getting through here. She's just as valid as a customer as anyone else, and if you think you can assume what her schedule looks like just because she isn't working, you're retarded.

You can't smell shit because you're full of it, my guy.

>>6495689
>She's just as valid as a customer as anyone else
Here's the deal:

>woman is late for whatever
>orders 8 happy meals once
>never heard from again
>her order pisses off 8 regulars who order 1 adult meal every day
>6 of the 8 decide they won't patronize McDs anymore
This is called a major loss. Each store is evaluated on how much money it can bring in individually. Did you not know this?

>>6495689
>She's just as valid as a customer as anyone else

But she's not. that's the point. In the same amount of time it would take to accomodate her crazy-ass complicated order the store could have served multiple normal customers: it's more efficient for both the number of customers served, as well as the number of meals sold by the restaurant.

What her schedule does or doesn't look like is completely irrelevant.

>>6495699
If 6 out of 8 "regulars" decide to ditch you over such a thing, they were getting pretty sick of your to begin with. Nothing is as fragile, or predictable, as you're making it out to be.

>>6495713
>Nothing is as fragile, or predictable, as you're making it out to be
Numbers say otherwise. Especially if there's a comparable fast food joint nearby. Regulars are regulars because they know they will get consistency. Once that's disrupted, they bail. I've seen it happen.

Even shitty fast food places go to great lengths to accommodate their regulars. I worked at a Papa Gino's (similar to pizza hut in New England) that kept a jar of special pickles for this one guy who liked only them on his tuna sub.

If you legitimately think you wouldn't alienate the SHIT out of a huge portion of your customers by forcing cars with more food than others to be treated differently and wait longer, you're a moron. And how do you even enforce something like that? Like, what's the cut-off? "Oh this lady had three cheeseburgers for her and her two kids, but this guy had three cheeseburgers because he's a fat piece of shit. Hmm. I guess he gets served first because he has to hurry back to the cash register at Sears."

>>6495720
I'd have to see those numbers and how they were derived, you can make numbers say just about anything.

Either way, I don't really care, fast food is garbage and they deserve to lose business until forced to undergo meaningful change. It's too bad for the individual franchises and employees that work there, but oh well. If it's as you say it is, sounds like a business I'd really hate to be in.

>>6495727
>Like, what's the cut-off?
You've clearly never worked in a restaurant.

>how long on order 23?
>10 minutes
>"Okay, ma'am, since your order is so large, it will be ready in 10 minutes. Would you mind pulling your car into a spot so others can order? We will bring the food out to you."

Literally no one would be "alienated" by this.

>>6495733
I don't care much, either. I think all McDonalds should be demolished. I'm speaking more about the principle.

>>6495513
Good, people too stupid to use it don't deserve to use the drive-through and are probably so poor and uneducated that they're too obese for fast food anyways.

That's the other thing that needs to be enforced, people should only be allowed to eat fast food below a certain weight and body fat percentage.

>>6495736
>Literally no one would be "alienated" by this.
I would be alienated by this. I don't want people bringing things out to me, once I've paid and grabbed the food, that's where human interaction ends. I don't like waiting for people, but I am fine with waiting for an entity composed of people.

At such a point, I would've just gone inside. The logistics of what you're suggesting are also a bit difficult to track and having (teenage) employees bring things out to people's cars would be publicly questioned to a degree.

Nah. There are ways to streamline efficiency in a way that is relatively opaque and creates no anxiety or the question on the part of the customer. I wouldn't agree this is one such way.

>>6495206
Double drive thrus always fuck up the orders

>>6495747
>paid and grabbed
During a busy rush, they use both windows-- first for pay, second for grab. Don't you know this?

What's so bad about pulling up to the second window and them saying your order will take a bit, because it's so large and that they'll bring it out to you? You sound pretty fucking autistic, tbh.

>The logistics of what you're suggesting are also a bit difficult to track and having (teenage) employees bring things out to people's cars would be publicly questioned to a degree.
Actually, a lot of places do this. Sonic is a major one. Culvers (midwest chain) does this. I can't think of others off the top of my head, but I'm sure if I spent 5 minutes searching I could come up with dozens.

>>6495757
>During a busy rush, they use both windows-- first for pay, second for grab.
Which is still one contiguous process. Without the altering the entire concept of a drive through, I'd much prefer it to be done in a relatively serial way.
>Don't you know this?
I haven't eaten fast food in years. But yes, I remember.
>What's so bad about pulling up to the second window and them saying your order will take a bit, because it's so large and that they'll bring it out to you?
Because I don't like it. That can be traced to a number of finer reasons, but in a blunted sense, that's what it resolves to. It's not a good way to handle exceptions or edge cases, and indicates the underlying system needs to be refined with a more efficient way to alleviate major bottlenecks.

In a personal sense, I don't like things brought to me. It doesn't feel comfortable, and that isn't likely going to ever change. If I knew this was the case, I would've just gone inside. Maybe for other people this is fine, but I'm not other people.
>You sound pretty fucking autistic, tbh.
That's because you aren't good at putting yourself in other people's shoes and figuring out how they work. Nor are you inclined to try, you're stuck on yourself. Autism is a convenient catch all, but it doesn't make your conclusions any less unintelligent.
>Actually, a lot of places do this[...]
I'd gather if you looked at how these places function, how they're engineered, and where they're located, you'd find it all conducive to that. You can't always take an existing system and change it like that, you start getting results you might not have expected.

Either way, interesting to know. Got other things to do than argue about fast food.

>>6495818
>Because I don't like it
>I haven't eaten fast food in years
You're not the target demographic.

The target demographic doesn't mind, as is demonstrated by my examples.

>>You sound pretty fucking autistic, tbh.
>That's because you aren't good at putting yourself in other people's shoes and figuring out how they work.
>I don't like things brought to me. It doesn't feel comfortable
No, it's because you're autistic.

>I'd gather if you looked at how these places function, how they're engineered, and where they're located, you'd find it all conducive to that. You can't always take an existing system and change it like that, you start getting results you might not have expected.
Of course. Those places are used to high volume orders. Just like what we're talking about. What's the problem?

>Either way, interesting to know. Got other things to do than argue about fast food.
Ah. You feel the need to respond, but don't want to engage further. You want to "have the last word." Yes, you have autism.

>>6495834
Why are you getting so angry. Could it be you yourself, are just a bit on the spectrum? :^) It's okay, Anon.

>You're not the target demographic.
That's not how discerning demographics works. You know too little adequately judge or control for sources of error.

>The target demographic doesn't mind, as is demonstrated by my examples.
"I know everything. See my examples?"

>No, it's because you're autistic.
This has already been addressed. It will now be dropped from the exchange.

>Of course. Those places are used to high volume orders. Just like what we're talking about. What's the problem?
Volume and throughput isn't all that influences how a chain is designed or how it functions internally. You're confusing your oversimplifications with usable knowledge that stands on its own.

>Ah. You feel the need to respond, but don't want to engage further.
Actually, yes, that's exactly how it is. Don't be so foolish, we're all disjointed and conflicting inside. This is why it's funny when people throw around terms like "autism" while in the same breath brandishing such dim ways of thinking, showing they barely understand themselves, much less those around them.

You think you know more than you do. You think you see more than you can. You think your awareness stretches across more than it does. Learn from that. That's my last word.

>>6495857
>Why are you getting so angry
Calling you autistic and getting angry aren't the same thing. You'd know that if you could feel.

>That's not how discerning demographics works.
You literally said that you haven't eaten fast food in years and that you're not interested in talking about fast food. You are not the target demographic.

>"I know everything. See my examples?"
>I don't even know when to greentext

>This has already been addressed. It will now be dropped from the exchange.
Most autistic thing ITT

>Volume and throughput isn't all that influences how a chain is designed or how it functions internally. You're confusing your oversimplifications with usable knowledge that stands on its own.
You mean how you simplify things by saying these places *shouldn't* take special notice of customers ordering unusually large orders during a rush?

>Actually, yes, that's exactly how it is.
So you're admitting you have autism?

>You think you know more than you do.
I know more than you. I've actually worked in the industry. I worked in it for years. You have no credentials beyond being an internet autist.
>You think you see more than you can.
Again-- you're just autistic
>You think your awareness stretches across more than it does.
I'm actually incredibly realistic in what I understand
>Learn from that.
Take your own advice, kid.
>That's my last word.
Toppest of keks. You just can't seem to let it go, can you? I bet you'll respond to this with your autism in full force, too.

>>6495818
>>What's so bad about pulling up to the second window and them saying your order will take a bit, because it's so large and that they'll bring it out to you?

Well tuff shit for you. You shouldn't have ordered dozens of specially made items in the middle of the lunch rush.

>>6495480
>It's literally throwing a wrench into the system.

Except it's precisely not that, you inbred fuckwit. That is, unless "soccer moms" are physically flinging metal bolt-turning apparatus into your local McDonald's drive thru, in which case you may want to consider finding a new place to live.

But more to the point, McDick's is already on top of this. Two-lane drive thru ordering and that waiting spot are used to deal with those kinds of customers. If your local joint can't handle it, tough. Wait in line for your slop, you petty piece of shit.

>People who aren't me shouldn't order what they want or use the drive thru because then I have to wait longer, WAAAAAH.
>Cunts with spawn in tow should totally go to all the trouble of unpacking their crotch fruit to save me a couple minutes!

Your sense of entitlement is every bit as fucked up as the whiny examples posted earlier from STFU Parents.

I thought that exact thing today. There could at least be a sign before the drive through that says "No Large orders at drive through".

Oh please tell me that's never come out of a person's mouth in the last century.

I like ordering 4 bacon breakfast wraps from tim hortons in the drive-thru. It comes out just under $10.

Sometimes the employee acts like I just slapped them in the face. What the fuck man, that order should be easy as fuck.
