Drive-Thru law #237: If you request "no condiments"
You still get condiments every time.

What a waste.

if you want specialized grease don't go to places with drive-thru's. make to order isn't classified as "fast food"

3. I'm not talking about tomatoes and lettuce
I'm talking about ketchup, salt or hot sauce. The guy today asked, "do you want ketchup and salt?" I said no, yet I still got 3 ketchups and 3 packs of salt in the bag.

BTW, Sonic (where I went today) is very good at special orders. They still suck at condiment packets though.)

8. They fuck you at the drive-thru....
"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?"

4. Or you gets 15 packets of catsup for 1 order of fries
or you ask for condiments, but still dont get them. I ask for a specific number: "I'll have TWO packets of hot sauce", and I get six. Sometimes I hand the excess back to them.

5. Try ordering
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 01:47 PM by hobbit709
a bacon cheeseburger and all you want on it is mayo and onions.
Q-you don't want bacon and cheese either
A-if I wanted a plain burger, I wouldn't have ordered the bacon cheeseburger.
And I've had that exchange more than once in more than one place.

10. LOL I got something similar a couple of weeks ago
McGarbage has double cheeseburgers on its one-dollar menu. I ordered two double hamburgers -- I've done this before with no problem. But the guy on the horn says, "um, so you want the double cheeseburgers with no cheese?"

Of course, this was after i sat at the horn for a couple of minutes, listening to his cell phone conversation. :eyes:

6. Law # 444 - Don't use "fancy language" in your requests either.
I pulled up to the window and was asked, "Do you want ketchup?" I said, "Yes, and don't spare the ketchup either". After a 2 second blank stare she proceeded to close the bag without adding any ketchup and handed it to me. I did a double check just in case she was so fast I missed it. After confirmation of NO ketchups, I said that what I meant was I wanted A LOT of ketchups. She gave me 5 and I figured that I should consider that a success and drove off.

12. When I worked fast food, we wouldn't give you much if any
1 ketchup packet for a small fry, 2 for a large fry unless they request more. If the customer requests a non food item specific condiment, like ranch dressing without getting a salad or chicken strips, charge them 20 cents.
One napkin per sandwich.
Our manager was a cheap skate.

13. I hate it when I've ordered something take away or from the drive through
and I dont check it until I get home and it ends up being something completely different from what I ordered.

15. Chinese carryout is the worst for this...
The places around here... you order one egg roll and you get a pint of red sauce, and a half pint of the hot sauce, no to mention sixteen packets of hot mustard and soy sauce, plus duck sauce. I'm sure they give me more calories that I'll never consume than some people eat in a day.
