I have come to realise this is true, I usually check before I leave the certain fast food resturant, but this morning getting a nice healthy Mickey Dees for breakfast, I didnt, which was the silly thing to do, and not getting is my fault for not checking but come on are people that incompetent these days that you hve to double check everything to make sure you get it?
Now when I order "a Bacon egg and cheese Bagel combo" thats what I expect to get, NOT a fucken bacon and egg mcmuffin combo which is what the useless drive thru fucker gave me, He has no excuse for fucking that up,
I said it slowly,
I was speaking to his face, NOT over a speaker thing
He even repeated what I wanted after I had said it.
Of course I was down the road and around the corner before eventually getting passed the Hash brown and looking forward to enjoying a bagel only to find that a stupid mc muffin would be all I was greeted with,
now I could have turned around, fought the traffic back up Pakuranga highway to go and right the wrongs, but instead I carried on to work.
Now do people at Drive thrus purposefully fuck up peoples orders because they know they will either be at home or miles away before they check what they have or are the just that fucken hopeless at their jobs?
MC D's wasnt busy this morning, there was no rush, no pressure on them, they person serving wasnt a trainee,
therefore I dont see any excuse for not getting it right, they are paid to give people what they order, what the hell is so hard about that?
its true
"they fuck you at the drive thru, they know your gona a mile down the road before you check your bags, and your not comming back,they fuck you at the drive thru"
This must have happened to other people too at some stage...
My Friday rant, on the other end of the scale, there were more explosions in London, makes my rant look so insignificant

Not so much that, just that you pay for something, you expect to get what you asked and pay for, well I do anyways, If it was busy with a shit load of customers and they mucked up an order thats understandable, but seriously there were 3 people inside and I was the only one in the drive thue, how hard is that?

I'm going to give you the insiders ...
I'm going to give you the insiders view - I once worked at McD's. I think the problem is the buttons on their machine, they are really little and they all look the same. It would be pretty easy to push the Muffin button instead of the bagel button. Also on screen it is all abreviated - all the end up seeing is something like Bac & Egg M, or Bac & Egg B.
Offcourse they could just be fucking with you. Lets face, working at mcdonalds sucks. Customers are generally arseholes (like after filling 6 large cokes you turn round and say - can I have no ice in those, or demanding to know why orange juice in a combo makes it cost more than coke when all they want to do is get a healthy meal for their kids...). Sometimes it gets to you. This is especially hard for some teen that did not give a shit in the first place.
My advice, check it at the window.
But yeah, that really sucks.

I have to chime in there -
I have a friend who constantly does that 'but why?" thing to people working in shops or restaurants where they (the person working there) clearly has no say in how the day to day running of the business is done, yet the complainer still thinks they're "sticking it to the man" or something.
Fuckin pathetic.

you know...imagine if there was no Mc Donald’s and people had jobs that whilst they might remain menial were predicated on respect for the individual and able to extract some level of pride in them and corporations acted honourably and rewarded fairly those who were the public face of the organisation rather than big marketing campaigns and staff were trained properly in an environment of openness and actually wanted to go to work
Then, nobody would care if they didn't get their bagel vs. muffin

As a former employee of McDonalds (McCafe specifically) I'll give you the honest truth, the ultimate answer to the ultimate question
People who work in McDonalds Don't Care.
If you want breakfast, get up 10 minutes earlier and have some cereal. Infact, just get up at the same time, you'll save the 10 minutes you spend in the drive-thru. Still want your bagal? Get up 30 minutes earlier, drive to a decent cafe where the food is good, the coffee is good, and the price is about the same and enjoy your pre-work morning reading the paper.

i tells ya, it goes for not only brekkie, but for all 3 meals as well, they're all a buch of lollygaggers who care less about customers and more about keeping there managers (who are not much older than the staff) happy.

The managers at my McDonalds were keeping themselves by screwing the 16 yearold girls on the staff, and it wasn't just one of them. God that place needs bulldozing.
If you complain at any fast food ...
If you complain at any fast food restaurant, you WILL get vouchers sent out to you. I went through a happy time when I would get an extreme burger meal from KFC once a week, and every time they'd somehow screw it up - the pepsi from the machine was consistently shit, the chips would be cold, whatever. So I started complaining. I must have received four or five $10 vouchers. The staff don't give a shit - it's not their money they're handing out. So get in there.

To go in depth into portias post - I dont belive you get a fair deal if you get fucked about at drive thrus, or line-thrus at any fast food outlet (except for subway) . 2-3 years ago i entered the drive thru @ Upper Hutts Quacky Dees, they not only fucked up my order, but they DELAYED it. This was especially rediculous esp as i was in a hurry to get to a WINZ appointment (note: this was my dole days) , It took 15 minutes off my time and when i requested a voucher or something to compensate the delay i was met with "sorry we dont do that sort of stuff here" and i drove off after replying with an argument which got abusive (i told them to go suck a fat cock and drove off angrily when i realised it was getting nowhere) - Ive had MUCH better service at Coob & Co Petone, Upper Hutt and the Big Chill in Lower Hutt - for if they cock up or delay your meal for any reason they'd give you an on the house drink and/or dessert. now thats service, I Returned to quacky Dees U/Hutt 18 months later expecting the service to have improved since the management had changed since my altercation with them, Despite only the Marginal improvement of service at the "line thru" (by foot) It deterioriates again in march.. Just WTF is up with these exploited pimple faced teens andthere appalling service in Upper Hutt? There where 3 lines of people, yet only one person on the counter, the otehr 6 or 7 where back in the kitchen chatting away to themselves doing shit all, I just stormed out because again i was in a hurry to catch a train. and again for you wellingtonians - never visit Quacky Dees @ BP Cable/Taranaki - last time I was there I waited 20 minutes for my meal since the place was either rediculously understaffed or the staff where bust gabbering away to themselves while stupid fucks in front of you couldnt make up there mind on what to order, WTF?? This was my 30-min dinner break and they should know that i have extremely limited time to eat before company time kicks in. why couldnt have they opened up another counter instead on gabbering away to themselves on how there weekend was? I chose to scab a lasange square and coffee from BP rather than put up with nonsense pimple face teens at quacky dees. Want good service with a garunteed healthy choice? visit subway and not Quacky dees where squeeky voiced teens on minimum wage are exploited to rip you off. Quacky Dees everywhere has appalling service ive quit going there and i suggest everybody else does as well.

Yes, they should have known that. In fact, they should have opened up a special lane just for you, or actually, they should have delivered without you needing to call them. I can't believe that the people at Macdonalds don't read mind, with the large pay packet that they get and their super working environment. They already get $8.45 an hour, what the hell more do they want? Respect or something? Sheesh.
