Fast Food Pet Peeves

[Der Nister]

Oh the world of fast food. What a description (ha!) well it's not always fast and we debate about to what degree it is food.

I have a few of my own fast food pet peeves but they have never driven (pun intended) me to drive my car into a fast food building trying to cause damage. Unlike the SPAZZ in Florida that recently did this.

Can you imagine what else that guy would do if you fucked with him?

Anywhoz - in case you didn't already guess *i'm bored* and thought this topic prolly has never been covered here on dgn *we may find out why* but I thought it would be funny to hear some other peoples fast food pet peeves or funny fast food stories.

My *strangest* fast food pet peeve is they always try to push additional items on me even though I always end my oder by announcing "that's all". They somehow feel I am wrong and I wasn't finished - oh, but I was indeed.

Yours?

I just hate it when you order something WITHOUT lets say tomatos, and there it is, on your burger, a HUGE SLICE of tomato. *gag*

I don't mind eating tomatos, but only when they are fresh grown in my gardens.

[Der Nister]

Oh yea - that reminds me of white castles obsession with onions. I have a dis taste for their food to begin with but every now and then when it was late I would get some of that junk they pass off as food.

I would always say no onion's but those a**holes seemed to ignore my requests every time.

I finally stopped going there (and my body thanked me).

[hunhee]

Hmm.. fast food.. such a bad thing for the body. Why do we need it? It's not that convenient, and seriously isn't that much cheaper than good food.

I used to be pissed when I went to get something from a drive thru and the order would be wrong. I would want to drive it back and tell them about it, my ex would always tell me that's the fast food way. You give them your order how you want it, and they give you what they want to give you. ARGH!!!!

This was something I copied and pasted from my website. It was written many years ago near the time I started my website around 1997.

"Okay...true story. This one is about fast food restaurants... particularly BK (I hope you all know who this is). One day I went to BK and asked for a double whopper with cheese...no tomato. I got my order and took off (I should have known that there would be a probelm since I have had MANY before)and low and behold, they fucked up the order. They actually gave me someone elses order...which was cut in half and had tomatoes on it. The next day I went to the same place and ordered the same thing. THIS time I asked the drive thru worker to tell them to not mess up my order this time...and told them what happened the night before. So I drove to the next window and picked up my order. I drove forward slightly to check my order before I left. AND GUESS WHAT?? Yep, I checked my burger and they forgot the cheese I ordered! What a bunch of misfits! Are they worthy of the money they make? At least when I worked in a fast food restaurant, I made sure I got it right! Damn. So I backed up and gave them the burger and told them to put the cheese on it. Luckily I wasn't in a bad mood or I would have blown up at them.

Ok, day 3 in a row at BK. I ordered two Whopper juniors with cheese, no tomato...and guess what??AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! They FUCKED me again! Again, they forgot to put the cheese on my juniors. How much more of this from them can I take? I will tell you this...I will attempt to find BK online and mail them my complaints. There is no excuse for fucking up my order 3 times IN A ROW! Sure I have had my problems with other fast food restaurants, but NOT LIKE THIS! And another thing...having to wait 15 minutes at any of the stores is VERY ANNOYING. Is it worth buying the food there when it is bad for you? And then to wait as long as it takes to get your food...only to get it cold by then?? I do not think so!"

I know that one all too well,when I say no pickle and onions,I mean it.where did it become mandatory that all burgers must have pickles,yuck,not everyone wants the same thing,also beware of some places that will scrape off the items you don't want and say its a grill order,I caught McDonalds on this bullshit,

Also make sure you get everything you ordered before you leave,Taco Bell is notorious for missing items you already paid for.

[Hellion]

Also do not go to Rotten Cow(Hot & Now) got food poisoning from the one in Roseville,never went back again.

[prettystar1sky]

My fast food pet peeves:

The mascots.

That BK King scares me!!

So does Ronald McDonald!

I can do with out them.

----But my biggest peeve is when fast food places don't Dr. Pepper for a fountain drink choice.

And that just bumbs me out.

That seemed to always happen to my mom. So one day she went in there completely pissed off. Needless to say, they remembered her, and she always got free Tacos.

Reasons why I love my mother. Also not a woman affraid to make a scene over a food order!

[creatureofthenyte]

Just something Ive noticed, the few times Ive actually been into a fast food place in recent years; most of them, like McDonalds, depending on where you are, they are staffed with immigrant workers, so there could be a slight language barrier or language comprehension issue. Also their headset/radio equipment could be faulty causing them to not hear your order properly, even if You enunciate every syllable.

Just curious though, if you go to the same location, and they fuck up your order more then twice, why not go some place else ???

The only fast food joint that I go to these days is Subway; they make your sandwich to your order and you can stand there and watch them do it, which all but rules out the chance of them fucking it up.

[predaking]

I hate it when you have to repeat the order 3 or more times, I could understand once but anything after that is just plain stupid

[Destroit]

I hate how some of the places always have a long drive-thru line and take forever, like White Castle and sometimes Taco Bell.

[FarrIL]

Oddly enough, I only remember one fucked up order. I said "Only beef and cheese" and they put the rice, the sour cream the tomatoes.... and then, for some reason, added chips and nacho cheese to my order. o0

Even if they goofed my beefy cheesy melt, at least I had nachos to munch on. -.o

My complaints dont lie with the employees, they lie with the other customers:

New Year's Eve, 2006. My friend Sarah and I were at the Wendy's in Lake Orion and a guy ahead of us obviously had a very short temper and I could tell, by the way he conducted his speech and spoke towards the two employees at the counter, that he thought he was better than they. he complained about his flat pop and told one of the girls to taste it. She gave him a new one, which he tasted before taking it. Then he said something, apparently the woman didnt hear him correctly and he said something, almost as if to say "Do you not understand English?!"

When Sarah and I got up to the counter, we got our orders and I thanked the women for serving us, and told them that the guy ahead of us should have been a little more grateful, because those two women didnt have to serve him, nor did they have to treat him so nicely, despite him being disrespectful to them BOTH. They had every right to piss in his soda and spit in his food.

It is annoying when fast food places mess up your order when you are paying for it.

I understand that people make mistakes, but sometimes it gets to be ridiculous.

Let's see:

BK: "Can I have two of the Whoppers that you have on sale right now?"

"Sorry we are out of Whopper meat."

"Excuse me? Are you kidding me?"

WTF? You have this huge sale on whoppers and then you run out of the meat to make them with???

McDonald's: They are notorious for NOT putting cheese on the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit.

They are also pretty good at giving you exactly the opposite of what you ordering.

I order extra mayo and no lettuce

I get extra lettuce and no mayo

I order it extra mayo, no lettuce, and it is already supposed to come with a tomato. Open it up....regular amount of mayo, lettuce, and NO tomato.

Taco Bell: I always order white onions on my tacos. Half the time they forget to put them on there. Or they will forget to give me my side of sour cream. That pisses me off because I have to pay extra for that.

Wendy's: I want a baked potato instead of french fries with my combo meal.

They tell me to pull up because they need to make some potatoes. No problem

10 minutes later Im getting ready to go in and ask what is taking so long when they come out and tell me that they are OUT of potatoes. WTF??? Why didnt you tell me that 10 minutes ago?

A lot of the restaurants do this too. I ask for a dipping sauce ONE dipping sauce and they charge me for it. I mean, its not much, but I just paid you for the meal and I cant have one dipping sauce? Its crazy. Some will just give it to me but a lot of them will be like well I have to charge you for it. Its just crazy.

Big Boy was actually going to charge me to put a slice of tomato on my fish sandwich. I told them to forget it.

[saechalyn]

This has happened more than once.

I'll have the chicken club, just the sandwich.

Would you like to try our new blahblahblah?

Uhm, no, thanks, just the chicken club, just the sandwich.

What to drink?

No drink.

It comes with the combo meal.

I didn't order the combo meal which is why I said JUST THE SANDWICH twice.

Did you want our blah blah blah dessert special?

No.

Then they charge me for the combo meal anyway.

[JaneDead]

i HATE HATE HATE mcdonald's but one time about 2 years ago maybe i was in a rush, going to a wedding, and had to stop somewhere to get my kids food. they wanted mcdonald's so i got it.

we got just chicken nuggets and fries. so i get to the window and they say they fries are not done, pull over and park. so i do.... i watch car after car after car go by.... i look at the clock; it has been 10-15 minutes... i think wtf? how did NONE of those people get fries? so i finally go in just to get my money back and say "i ordered fries but just want my money back." i swear 7 people working there all looked like they did NOT know what to do with that request. i was like i just want my money that's all. to which they say "the fries will be ready in a mintue." really? that is what you fucking told me 20 minutes ago. i know it doesn't take that long for some fast food fries!!! i said "i have been waiting 20 minutes now. AT LEAST!" to which they all looked confused again. they finally bring out some (undercooked) fries and say here you go. no sorry, no nothing. just some damn gross ass fries. again i was like wtf? i just wanted my money back.

i lived by that mcdonald's for 4 years and any time i ever went there which was rare cuz i HATE HATE HATE mcdonald's they ALWAYS were slow, fucked up my order each time and were just down right stupid people working. it has to be the worst fast food place ever. i don't mean mcdonald's is, i just mean that place by my old house. seriously, i think they require their workers to have a low IQ just to work at that one.

[Homicidalheathen]

My daughter worked at Taco Hell and won't eat there now. Does that tell ya somthin? Yah. She said, the things I see people do just to be mean.....

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

That fast food exists.

[CandyQuackenbush]

I will say this:

I hate some fast food. My stomach will not let me eat it ever since I came home from Iraq the first time.

I can tolerate some. But it's mostly Arby's, and once in awhile Burger King, and now every blue moon, Wendy's.

I can start to eat these, but then I think my stomach knows the greese level, and reacts. Unless I am drunk, then it just wants something to make the beer shut up.

[odims_sphere]

The customer service at fast food joints is terrible, but I guess what can you expect from people making minimum wage, or close to it. I know that wouldn't be much motivation for me to bust my ass. I guess what I'm trying to say is what I hate most about fast food I can completey understand why it happens.

[Homicidalheathen]

OMG that is so funny!

I have gotten sick off of McDonnalds Big macs twice (I am stubborn lol)

I can't handle white castle.

[Hellion]

You know why they call it "Fast Food"

Cause it leaves your body"FAST!!!"

[Head Wreck]

fucking hell, i'm sure thier trying to kill me with that grease, not even the canteen in work fucks up that big.

recently i've been spreading tomato purree over bnaan bread and melting cheese over it in the oven. quite nice as iss, or add your own toppings,

[jadnifer]

Went to McDonald's last night.

"I want 3 grilled chicken honey mustard wraps with no lettuce."

"There is a 10 minute wait on grilled chicken, but we have crispy. Would you like that instead?"

"That's fine."

We get to the window:

"There is a 4 minute wait on the crispy chicken. Do you want to wait?"

"I guess so."

"Please pull around the building and come back through and it should be done."

We get back in line and the person in front of us is there for like 5 minutes, then we got our food. We stayed in front of the window and checked our food to make sure it was right before we left and we stayed on their timer.

Know tell me why they said that they had crispy chicken ready when they really didnt??? DUH!
