Nothing worse than realising your order is wrong when you're already miles away from the shop *L*


Hope the day is salvagable

I hate it when the person at the drive-thru window forgets to give me a straw for my Diet Coke and I drive away without thinking to ask. Dammit, all I wanted was a Diet Coke and a way to drink it without spilling it when I rear-end the car in front of me at the light while looking in the bag again to make sure there's not a straw in there. Is that too much to ask?

One thing might be worse. Driving away without your order after paying for it. Not that I've done that, necessarily. But if I had, it would have been embarrassing.



And if I had done it more than once, I'd have been too embarrassed the second time to go back for the food.

I hate to have to be the one to tell you this shocking thing. However, in many fast food establishments the personnel are so low level that they can't even operate a normal cash register. Instead of a cash register with numbers, the cash register keys have pictures of items they sell; punch the picture, get the price. The thing you need to do here is to always ask for a straw.

Joe Pesci said it best in Lethal Weapon 2:

[after receiving the wrong order at the drive-thru]
Leo Getz: They FUCK YOU at the drive-thru, okay? They FUCK YOU at the drive-thru! They know you're gonna be miles away before you find out you got fucked! They know you're not gonna turn around and go back, they don't care. So who gets fucked? Ol' Leo Getz! Okay, sure! I don't give a fuck! I'm not eating this tuna, okay?

If you wanna really piss of the Drive Thru people, when you give your order - ask them if you can have it to go....

I don't eat lettuce. I'm allergic to Mayo. I cringe when imagining what went into the special sauce.

So I order my food plain. After enough screw ups, I order it specifically. as in:

"I want it plain, just meat, bread and cheese."

It would seem there is more effort in volved in slapping mayo and rabbit food on it to start with. How freaking hard is it to understand the word Plain????? How do you screw up after I define it for you??????

Bastards.

LOL...you sound like my husband...normall after he explains to the waiter/waitress how he wants his burger and the look on his/her face is as though he is talking another language, I usually chime in and say...nothing on it..except cheese...ok?

Then they usually look like they understand and say..."Oh....just plain?"

*Shakes head!!!

Try that with the added fun of a language/accent/culture barrier, and you will beg the NRA to demand a longer "cool-off" period for purchasing a handgun in Florida, so that enraged gringas won't kill innocent people manning drive-thru windows. You will, I promise. Here's a close approximation of my recent ordering adventure at Pollo Tropicale:

Me: "I'll have the grilled chicken breast with white rice, no beans, and a medium Diet Coke."

Drive-Thru: "No rice?"

Me: "Yes rice. No beans, just the white rice."

Drive-Thru: "Nothing else? Just rice?"

Me: "Grilled chicken breast, white rice and a medium Diet Coke."

Drive-Thru: "That comes with rice and black beans."

Me: "I know. I don't want the beans, just the rice."

Drive-Thru: "It comes with it. No extra charge."

Me: "Give my beans to someone else, then. I don't want any beans."

long silence

Drive-Thur: "You wanted a large Coke, right?"

stunned silence; counting to ten; deep breath

Me: "Diet Coke. Medium."

Drive-Thru: "Drive up to the window please."

So I did. In my randomly filled grab-bag was 1/4 chicken including a drumstick, no chicken breast, and a Family Sized order of white rice, for which I was charged extra. (If I had let them give me some beans, a side order of rice would have been free.) I didn't give a damn anymore. I was hungry and didn't have the energy to explain.

At least the drink size was right. Medium fits in the cup-holder; Large has to be strapped into a child seat.

It wasn't Diet Coke, of course, but Coke Classic.

I didn't find that out until I got home, because there was no straw in the bag.
