The wagies' performance is tracked on the computer. Slow performance is penalized >although who knows how, what, they can't exactly dock your pay below minimum wage
They tell you to pull ahead because it makes the computer think your order was completed faster. You have two choices:
>the Chad "NO"
But you are not chad, so you risk getting [extra] spit in your food.
>the Cuck Wait
In most cases you'll get your food within a few minutes, although you risk getting dabbed on like OP.

It's events like this which make me question the "professionals". Surely the processes used at McDonald were made by qualified people with management degrees from fancy colleges. But how did the processes still fail such a rudimentary thing as making a customers order after taking their money? Sounds like a huge legal liability to me.
Are other organisations like this too? Do car designers too barely manage to pass safety tests? Do aircraft manufacturers too ship barely working computer code?

Reminds me of a time I went to Jack in the Box
So I was drunk (I don't do this anymore, don't sue me MADD), making my way home from my local karaoke bar at closing time and I got a hankerin for a chickentatermelt. The kind you wouldn't believe. I'd have sold my left arm for the chickentatermelt.
Anyways, I swooce on into the drivethru real smoothlike, like a python stalking a chinchilla in the height of the Andes. I give my order to the kindly people on the box and pull around. "Oh, here's your drink, would you pull around and park in our designated parking spot?" No complaints, people were behind me, and they gave me my drink. I wait.
I wait. I wait. I wait.
2:30 AM
Even in my drunkenness, I am pissed. 20+ minutes, nothing to show. I finally decide to pull back through, but before I do, I stop to think. I decide to be the bigger man and not be an asshole about it. I pull thru, "OMG, we're so sorry, it's just us two working tonight, we'll make that right now. Feeling contented I was decent to them despite being pissed, I headed home with bag happily. That was cool until I realized that those STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS GAVE ME A FUCKING CHEESEBURGER INSTEAD OF MY FUCKING CHIKENTATERMET EVEN AFTER THEY FUCKED UP!!!!!!!

They're punishing one random person every 30 minute. It makes the punishment more impactful.
Also they're putting the fries in the fridge and drying up the meat with a hairdryer for drive through orders. And their computer is telling them what random item to forget for each order. I head they can get fired if they put napkins and sauces for an order to go. They also put oil at the bottom of the bag, and they slightly unseal the drink cap before putting the drink the bag, and they make sure to make you wait an extra 10 minutes if you order an item they don't like you ordering. Also if you order less than 20 minutes before the end of a shift they will punish you by putting all kinds of body fluids in your items, including semen, there was a customer who got pregnant after she spilled some coke on her vagina, she ordered 15 minutes before the closing time of the restaurant so she had it coming.

what will happen is the cars behind you whose food is already ready will be waiting up to 7 minutes for your nuggies to come out of the fryer

unwillingness to wait a couple of minutes is why the poorly ran mcdonalds in poor areas will just err on the side of having stale fried chicken because people will refuse to wait a minute for something to come out of the fryer

if they pull you forward that's usually good imo, the food is coming out fresh

[Anonymous No.19190766]

>>19190459
I get that, and if the timer-sensor thing didn't exist I'd be okay with pulling over. The problem is even if the order of the car behind me isn't ready, now that their vehicle has initiated the timer, the staff is incentivized to finish their order instead of mine. Because the order of the customer behind me is now being timed, but when I agreed to move forward I helped the staff trick the timer into counting my order was completed.
So it's less likely that they're asking me to pull over in order to ensure that all customers are served, and more likely their doing it to boost their orders per minute. Why should I have to wait longer than expected for my order just to boost McDonalds franchise #4139 average orders per minute?

sure, I guess that makes sense. if you never pull forward then your chances of being forgotten are a lot lower. generally tho it's not just a manipulation of the timers, corporate knows that they pull people forward, it's standard procedure. most of the time they will have the food ready for the car behind, but also when it's real busy the drive thru can get really backed up really fast, so they generally want to just keep it movin

i guess it just comes down to where you live and the quality of the management (and the customers probably)

[Anonymous No.19190864]

Food varieties are important to support human existence. The body utilizes the energy separated from the food we eat to work, ward off illnesses and microorganisms, remain warm, and at last keep us alive. There are three primary parts of food: quality, amount, and assortment. A sound eating regimen generally guarantees an individual eats the right food in the perfect sums with the right blend. as like sriracha sources and other grocery items

I used to work at Red Lobster and now I work at Starbucks and I'm pretty meticulous about serving customers in order. The process of making the food/drinks is one thing - it's an insult to the customers to serve out of order. The OP shouldn't have to demand his food be served first.

Online orders gum up the works. When someone wants a Traveller at 8:30am, or orders their drink online, they're always expect to show up when they want to and have their ready. Even when there's a giant line.

Serving online orders before in-person orders is a marketing ploy to make people order online more. But if everyone orders online, you have the same customer backup that you did before. We can't make the food/drinks any faster. In fact, having to watch the online orders and plug them in as in progress/filled makes the process take *longer* because I have to wash my sticky hands before I can tap the screen.

We got one of those McDicks around here when there are two order stations in the drive thru that merge into a single lane.
>Dude on the left was already ordering when I rolled up the the other station
>Hello fag whatchu want
>I'll have quarter pounder
>Ok roll up the window to pay
>When I start moving, the other guy was still ordering
>He fucking floors it to avert the injustice of being served later than someone who arrived later
>He finishes his order at payment window
>drives to pickup to finish his huge ass order
>He gets sent to drive up area while they make his bacchanalian feast
>I instantly recieve my single burger and drive off
>see him angrily waddling over to the pickup window in my rearview
I laughed my ass off all the way home
