Don't you hate it when they fuck up your take out order?
 

Wanted Cajun wings and got some lemon-pepper and pineaple shit instead. Not I have to drive back and get my order. Crap!

Yup. Sure do.

Which is why I check it before I pull away from the window.

Yes, I hate it as well. Especially when I say Coke NO ICE and they put the entire cup full of ICE. It fucks up the whole taste!!

Same, saves fucking around and going back...

They never fucked up that bad with me. Mostly it's just something small which I don't give a shit about. Not to mention I mostly order take outs when I'm drunk or high, so I probably won't notice.

I know what you mean, the soda then tastes like shitty tap water from the melted ice.

That's what I always do when we do get take out which usually isn't that often these days.

When I am in the car the order is always correct even though I check it, well I do recall getting super flat soda once but that was not really wrong.
Yet if I send anyone else, my order will almost always end up fucked up.
Then my latest peeve is when I use a restaurant delivery service, it typically will be a last minute choice and we will order around 8-8:30pm (they close at 9). Then when the order arrives it will be mine that is fucked up and of course the actual restaurant is now closed so they can not fix it and can only offer you a credit which is just stupid since most often they want to just credit you for the fuckup. Like I really will ever redeem, let alone go in for a side of missing hush puppies or something.

Pf Changs did that to me last night even after the guy read my order to me and packed the bag. Luckily the food I got by accident was pretty damn good and probably better than my original order!

Indeed,take a look while your at the window

Infuriating

Its second only to movie talkers :mad:

fucking hate it - i keep promising myself that i am going to call head office and raise hell when it happens but i always forget about it.

ordered a big order from Popeye's Chicken on Super Bowl Sunday - made sure to ask them twice not to forget the hot sauce packets - well of course it came and all there was were packets of ketchup.

see, thats what happened. I go to this place once every 2 weeks or so, and guy reads back my order, so Im kinda OK, thats what I have since I was a bit in a hurry. Come home and its way off. Some kind of Hawaiian mix. They told me to keep it. Tastes like shit.

Shut up bot. I know you're not human.

I fucking love it.. I get free food when that happens.

One time at my regular chinese food take out place, they forgot two quarts of appetizers and also gave one wrong entree.. I called them up to complain about that.. they took down my name, etc and said they'll take care of me next time I'm in..

Next time I go, I get my two sides I already paid for and they hooked me up with a pupu platter for four for free :)

Most places hook me up when I am nice.. but when I am nasty I never get shit but told to leave or a hangup, LOL

well, I got my next order free but I still can't eat that pepper-lemon-pineapple chicken wings shit. I wanted spicy wings and beer for hockey game, not some gay pot roast.

Our local McDees manages to fuck up our order on average about 80% of the time.

Its pathetic.

Its reached the point we just automatically check the order at the window before driving off.

Yep - minimum wage/minimum intelligence.

I was once handed about 3 extra burgers in addition to my minimalist order... I asked what it was for, they said they thought someone must have driven off, so I could keep them.

The downside it that it was McDonalds, I can't really handle more than one or two burgers from there... blerrgghhh... I was only going there because it was so late and nothing else was open...

BTW our local Maccas drive-thru has a screen that lists the items as you reel them off...

Yeah, that fucking sucks ass. I mean, how fucking smart does someone have to be to make sure an order is correctly placed into a fucking bag at a fast food joint? :(

Learned my lesson though....I always check my food before driving off.

I'm a picky eater and always have odd customizations in my food. They screw it up about a third of the time so I always check at the window.

:1orglaugh They really messed it up

2 weeks ago while I was on the road, I go to this drive in @ McD...
I order 1 burger and give the guy a 10 euro bill, he comes back with a burger and 90+ euro in change. So I tell the guy he made a mistake with the change..the fool gets upset and agressive and claims he made no mistake! So I just said: "Sorry my mistake dude" and drove off.

But I do hate it when they forget the ketchup or the sauce with the nuggets and make you go back in line for the missing stuff while the food gets cold.

you guys are not seeing the big picture

fucking up your order is HUGE biz

okay lets do some fast math here.


lets say that every mcd's fucks up and gains 1 dollar a day per franchise from the fuck ups. now according to mcds faqs, http://www.mcdonalds.ca/en/aboutus/faq.aspx

McDonald's operates over 31,000 restaurants worldwide

okay so they profit an extra dollar a day in every store. thats 31,000 bucks extra profit a day. thats an extra 217k a week, right an extra million a month.

now, thats with them only making a 1 dollar fuck up every day.. lets do real math on that and say that they are doing right about a 5 dollar profit a day fuck up...

hows that math grab ya?

They did it to me today.

Got less sushi than I paid for... bah

I have never had a problem, but my brother goes to McDonalds all the time and I went with him once and he got one of those Chicken wraps, said no lettuce just the chicken and sauce, they fucked it up and put lettuce, so he goes back, they make him new ones, SAME thing, fucked up... AGAIN.

Every time I go to mcdonalds with him they seem to fuck his order up all the time.

No doubt the bean counters have considered that.

However, here in Canada each location is individually franchised. All the profits don't go to a central clown.
