maybe they have bad eye sight

I always look at the menu online to see what i want. Even make a failsafe backup option in case my initial order fails.

Unless ive been there before. If ive been there before i can audible easily of needed.


Ive been stuck behind many a person who has no idea what they want, and it sucks.

>go through drive through
>menu is next to speaker

>>6520193
>fucking this
It's so god damn retarded. I always spill spaghetti if I'm not 100% certain what I want

>>6520183
Do online menus keep track of daily specials? That sounds like a great idea.

>>6520193
>go through drive thru
>can't understand the attendant's accent

>>6520193
This. I hate this. I never know before hand what I want because it seems like menus are always changing now. I am just always like..yeah..hold on..OKAY MY PLEASURE TAKE YOUR TIME SWEETY..ARE YOU READY TO ORDER YET..No. Let me read the menu. OKAY MY PLEASURE TAKE YOUR TIME SWEETY..ARE YOU READY TO ORDER YET..No. Let me read the menu. But inside..I just stand off to the side going over it until I am sure of what I want, then get into the line and wait for my turn to order.

>>6520193
This is the realist thing I've ever read. I can't stop laughing.

I try to read the menu first. Some workers insist on asking me immediately though.

>>6520193

Fuckin spergs, man. It's literally that easy.

projection: the post

>>6520265
And then you get >>6520228's shit where they ask you if you're ready every 10 seconds...

>I can help the next person in line over here!
>everyone looking at the menu stares at each other and no one goes up

>>6520262
I hate that. I walk in and purposely stand back away from the register and look at the menu.

And they still ask what i want.

>waiting in line

So glad I don't live in an overpopulated city

>>6520265
If you dont readily know what you want, and need a minute, you shouldnt go through the drive thru.

>>6520267
That's honestly never happened to me. Sounds like the people working are sperging just as hard. The most I've ever gotten was, after a while, they'll ask if they can help me find anything on the menu.

>that customer who just stands there staring at the people making his food instead of sitting down

>>6520283
It's because they have time goals for the drive thru. They need to get stuff done in a certain amount of seconds, I think it is. So they try to rush rush rush you so their times stay looking good for when they are reviewed or something.

>>6520283
The point of that is if I told them I'm not ready, then I'm still not ready until I tell you I'm ready. It's not like I forgot I'm in the line at McDs.

>>6520265
That's still much harder than it needs to be. I mean, they're waiting, the people behind you are waiting. Things can and should be set up so you don't ever need to inconvenience other people.

Sometimes they don't even tell you what it's going to cost, and you have to do a bunch of math for the exact change under pressure at the cashier. I haven't been through a drive through in years because of this bullshit.

>>6520280
I agree with this. Who goes to McDonald's and doesn't know what the fuck they want?
>having a specific craving for nasty grease and salt
>not already knowing roughly which amalgam of nasty grease and salt you want
>mfw

>>6520280
Bullshit. I have just as much right to use the drive thru as every one else. It isn't my fault the menu is ever changing and I need time to match up all my coupons to the menu and figure out what to order and save the most money with my 13 separate orders and 8 kids.

>>6520294
Sorry, you're about a week late to that thread.

what kind of person is indecisive about what they want at a fast food restaurant

"do you have any sandwiches with 5 patties? give me 3 of those"

wow its that easy

>>6520293
>McDonalds and Burger King are the only places with drive thrus.

Get a load of this guy.

>>6520294
The whole point of the drive thru is to make your order quick, then they have a timer in which to make your food as fast as they can.

People who dont know what they want fuck shit up.

If you are going to atare at the menu because you dont know what you want, then go inside.

>>6520299
Better late than never! I was there for that one, too. That is probably why when they said that it came to my mind to post that.

this, untill I afforded a perscription I have to be at the counter to see anything

>>6520302
Yeah, I never even began to imply that. I'm just making the point that, even if you don't know EXACTLY what you want, when you roll up to a restaurant, anyone without extreme autism will have a pretty good idea of what's on the menu.

And Tim Horton's sucks, faggot.

>>6520302
nothing pisses me off more than when canadians go around never shutting the fuck up about tim hortons like its le epic canadian tradition like fuck off theyre in america too you stupid shits your country has nothing special nothing special at all

>>6520280
for the love of god this, we're timed and usually have to have you assholes out in under a minute, no matter how asshuge your order is. people who order a big drive through meal are scum bags who don't know any better.

>>6520294
if you have 8 kids then why are you ordering out of mcdonalds you twat basket?

>>6520323
don't blame the people who order. Blame the people who are above you for putting those constraints and stress on you. Regardless, you get to go home and have mommy start your go kart while you zip around the yard and piss your pants and let daddy clean you off after.

>>6520320
I have a really good feeling you're not entirely sure what projection is, because there certainly wasn't any in my post. I'm gonna stand by my opinion that anyone who takes more than 15-20 seconds to decide what they want is probably not playing with a full deck of cards. That's not projection; that's an opinion.

>tfw go inside the restaurant to not be a douchebag drive thru person and it takes forever to get my order because their priority is the drive thru.

>>6520327
>>dont blame us, blame the people who put work constraints on you
yeah that shit does not actually work in real life you dumbfuck. this is the food industry, turnover rate is high and stress level is even higher. if you have a big order, get the fuck into the lobby and we'll nail it out. get it done in the drive through and you can look forward to a hastily constructed mess of shit.

>>6520381

>>6520193
Park and go inside...

>mfw I see less and less people walking inside which is great for my aspergers
We did it Reddit!

>>6520170
If you're behind the counter, it's part of your job to facilitate traffic and also direct customers. If they don't know what they want, directly engage them. "Do you know what you're kind of looking for?" "Do you have any questions?".

By engaging them, you're either helping them make a split decision, forcing them to make one, legitimately helping them with questions (menus can be confusing if they're structured badly) or giving yourself justifiable clearance to have another customer circumvent them.

When I'm the customer and I don't know what I want, I try to be aware of others around me and always let the immediate person behind me go first if they're ready to order.

My person grief is the people who walk up and say "I don't know what I want, what's good?". The ambiguity of that statement is so frustrating because you are providing me with absolutely 0 information by which to provide you with advice that *may* satisfy you. And then when you give a recommendation, they shoot in the opposite direction.

>Stand way in the back
>Nowhere near the counter
>No line and I'm still obviously looking at the menu
"HELLO BACK THERE... ARE YOU READY TO ORDER? ... NO? OK. I SHOULD HAVE REALIZED THAT ALREADY BUT I'M AN IDIOT SO FORGIVE ME."

>>6520300
I'm always indecisive because I *never* order fast food. It's usually a case of I'm on a road trip or I'm in the mall's food court and am too hungry to wait until I get home or some such. I eat fast food like once every 5 years so I end up not being able to decide how I want to assault my body. The food court is the worst. Forget deciding what food I want, I end up pacing between like 6 different places not even being able to decide which *type* of food I want.

>>6520395
Calm down, Spergson.

>Go up to a stall in a food court to look at menu
>Stand several feet back from the counter and off to the side away from the line
>Still always get asked what I want to order and prioritized over people actually on line
All I want to do is avoid holding people up while I read through the menu.

>>6520310
>get up
>turn on coffee maker
>brush and shower
>get dressed
>coffee is ready

Fuck that noise. I make a pot, pre-mix it with creamer and sugar and leave it on the counter (in a covered container, obviously) and I have morning coffee for a week. If you prefer iced coffee, keep it in the fridge.

Hot coffee is good but room temp coffee is fine, too.

>>6520391
Then he has to interact with a person.

>>6520403
I do that when it's busy. Then I ask if they're finished with my order and show them an old receipt. It's too busy for them to look too closely so they assume it's from that day. I've gotten a few hundred dollars worth of food this way.

>>6520409

>>6520458
It's sealed after it cools. You think coffee goes bad in a week? Maybe if I used milk but I use creamer.

>>6520286
I CIA pose while doing it too.

>>6520468
Ehhhhhhh I don't know enough about coffee in particular to say you're wrong... But it definitely doesn't sound RIGHT to me...

>>6520475
It's fine. If I liked iced coffee I'd keep it in the fridge but I don't. Room temp > iced. You don't get that sugar sludge at the bottom. If I want iced I'll take the room temp coffee and add an ice cube or two.

>>6520469

Same thing happens to Starbucks in my town. Fucking line wraps around the building and spills into the street yet the parking lot is empty as everybody is too lazy to walk inside and buy their coffee. Fucking Atlanta.

>>6520518
>everybody is too lazy
>Atlanta
Think I found your problem.

>>6520526
I know it is a city of lazy, unoriginal fucks but this kind of thing and driving to the other side of the mall are just so far beyond normal human function.

>>6520183
This.
I always check a place (especially if it's someplace I've never been before) and see if they have an online menu to peruse, so I can at least narrow my options down before I get there. People like OP is talking about drive me nuts. And it also usually means they're just as clueless and passively indecisive in other parts of their lives as well.

>>6520290
>Things can and should be set up so you don't ever need to inconvenience other people.

Yeah, but that's not the way the world works. Companies, employees, and even your fellow customers don't normally care that much about inconveniencing people.
There's a drive thru mexican place we go to occasionally that makes great food, but it takes forever if they're making things fresh, which they usually are. But that's not our fault. Once, when we ordered (and it was a simple order, 2 burritos, 1 carne asada fries, 3 horchatas), it took so long because they were making everything fresh, that the car behind us started flashing their lights at us and then drove around us and flipped us off. And the wait had nothing to do with us, we knew what we wanted and ordered right away. That's just one personal example though.
I still say people should check menus online before they go somewhere. And if a place doesn't have an online menu, pick up a to-go menu when your there so you can look at it at home next time.

>>6520562
Thanks for the lecture, Grandpa.

>>6520193
the idea of drive through is quick orders its not for people who don't know what they want or retards who order like 50 dollars in food. If you arent sure go inside

>>6521054
This. I don't go to a lot of fast food places and I like being able to go inside and look at the menu without inconveniencing anyone, but every time I go if someone else is with me they insist I use the drive thru. Half the time they don't even know what they want and we're just sitting there trying to read the tiny print making assess of ourselves. No one gets it.

You can call headquarters for whatever place you are at and report this as panhandling. I did it for Jack in the Box by me because 3 separate people asked me to buy them food in one visit and they apologized, wrote me a letter and sent me coupons for a bunch of free shit. They said give them two weeks to correct the issue and use the coupons and go back and try it and if it was still an issue, call back and gave me their extension and number.

>>6521132
What kinds of coupons?

Thank god I escaped that hell

>>6520310
It's part of the same reason why people get "Go to a bar, to drink! It's the cool thing to do," shoved down their throats all their lives. So, when you tell these people that they can have what they like for much cheaper, and that they are basically being ripped off, they can and will, tell you in so many words, that you just aren't cool enough to understand.
Propaganda designed to drive profit margins at all costs. Even human cohesiveness.

Fair enough! Just lets get back on topic here. We weren't the same two people. It's done and over. Hivemind it is. But I want to know if they have the time constraints on orders up front as they do in the drive thru.

>>6521349
The McDonalds near me started offering free burgers if you didn't get your order in 1 minute. Haven't had an issue getting my order since.
Not a bad business model.

>>6521361
Thank you! I need to find out if mine are doing this. That is great news since I wait 10 minutes or more when I go inside, which is why I use the drive thru instead because it takes so damn long inside even when it's empty.

>>6521361
McDonalds is crazy. They start making my food even before I put my debit card in and the payment confirms.

>>6521397
they start making it as soon as you order it, you order it before you pay hence that isnt very odd

in fact i know of very few places that wait for your payment to clear before putting the order in

>>6521402
yeah but still. If my card forever reason screwed up, then it's wasted.

Ever opened the lid of a cup of iced tea that's been sitting a week at room temperature? Coffee is almost exactly the same.

How about a slice of pizza? Even in a sealed container, would you fucking eat it after a week unrefrigerated?

You're drinking mold water.

The only reason it can last so long is because it's completely dry. Once you mix it with water, it can grow mold just like anything else.

I usually start deciding what I might want as soon as I decide I'm going there. I look at the menu as soon as I enter the building. I even sometimes refrain from getting in line until I decide. And even still, I am so indecisive that I need to take awhile to stare at the menu at the register.
