Ok, I know, I know your job sucks sometimes… and I feel for [some] of you fast-food and/or coffee service workers at various sorts of outlets, sincerely – I’ve been there, I did it and I wasn’t perfect either, but when I worked, I was there to work and to that end I GAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A SHIT, not a lot, but enough to do it as close to right as I could! So, please: first, don’t interrupt me before I’m done giving my order – LISTEN, THEN ask me to clarify if necessary, and THEN, again, please! – REMEMBER to get my order right, as I specified it. Remember my salt, pepper, ketchup, and napkins, too, please – these things should be understood, not only given when asked for! If you’re courteous and quick, I might tip you, too, but if you act like you don’t give a shit, like I’m a big pain in your ass and a burden on your day – me, a customer, the nerve! – then, no, I won’t tip you. And like you, I won’t feel bad about it either. —Screwed Over Too Often

another reason to get out of your car and go inside…
easier to get your inevitably fucked up order corrected.
I dont pull away from the window until I have looked inside the bag. With places that have gained my confidance, I am less careful. With places that eff up my order, I check more carefully.
Call and complain, they’ll send you some coupons. GV knows what’s up
Sounds to me like your life will improve immeasurably if you didn’t eat at fast food places anymore. Pack a lunch. There is less garbage and you won’t be so big.
Seriously OP, go a couple weeks without that shit you’ll wonder how you ever ate it.
Take your lard-laden arse into the joint and get this garbage yourself…….hey, how about not eating it all and perhaps you would be more pleasant and and not pumped up on chemicals and heart attack inducing byproducts. Fuck it, eat the shit and die!
That’s the spirit Koda
You might tip them? Fuck that. They make $10/hr…..that’s more than they deserve. They should be grateful people even eat that shit.
I always go in rather then thru drive thru, ive had this issue to many times happen to me. Not worth it. The best is when I asked for a hot chocolate with a peppermint tea bag in it I drove home after and went to drink my hot chocolate and it was so watered down. Guessing who ever made it thought i asked for a peppermint tea with half hot chocolate. It was disgusting,
Tasted like nothing.
Word of advice get out of the car and go in. Its worth the extra couple minutes.
GV is right, check before driving off. I gave up hope when Coke “WITH… NO… ICE” became too difficult.
TJ, you are right. Every time I eat the crap it is less and less frequent, and every time I ask myself “ugh… *BELCH*… WHY???!!???”
I’m thinking of re-packaging it and selling it as chewable crackfix.
There is a time and place for righteous indignation. The combination KFC/Taco Bell is neither.
i agree stop eating that crap… You’ll be better off. Most of the people working there don’t want to be there and make it perfectly clear that they don’t want to be there. The food is treated horribly before it finally makes it to your take-away and the shit is so full of salt, sugar and MSG that i’d rather eat the cardboard cakes in China than that piss.
It’s essentially like ordering a huge dose of bad karma for your lunch.
if you want a good dose of junk food, why not go to the Spud wagons or street vendors that pepper downtown? They’re awesome.
