Not to stand up for fast food places, because I despise them as much as the next Capitalistic Spoiled American, but the fact remains... USUALLY... I say this because I once worked in the dreaded burger slinging facilities... People generally would say this...

"I would like... A Jumbo Jack..."

-"Do you want that in a combo?"-

"NO!"

-"Alright..."-

"Annnd.... I want... Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... An order of fries....... Another Jumbo Jack.... And A Coke."

A combo includes, The burger or main dish with a side and a drink. WHICH THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO ASK FOR ANYHOW AFTER DENYING WANTING ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

*Shrugs*
 
One time I pulled up to McDonalds and looked inside the window. They have a little whiteboard that says shit like

"When a customer orders, don't ask 'will that be all?', suggest something else for them to buy, and always ask to supersize a large meal...blah blah blah"
 
The whole burgers must come with fries concept just pisses me off. You almost can't escape it. There's a chain of sit-down hamburger places in California called Red Robin. The burgers are good, they have beer, a full bar and there's no drive thru and it takes a while to cook so it's not fast food. Anyway, when you order a burger it automatically comes with fries. They aren't free, but you can't get a burger without paying for the fries. This is fucked for somebody like me. I never order a cheezburger & fries. I order 2 or more cheezburgerz and no fries. This means if I want 2 cheezburgerz from Red Robin, I have to pay for 2 orders of fries.

Surprisingly, the exception to the burger-fries marriage is Jack-in-the-Box. One time I ordered a couple of cheezburgerz and some cheez-stuffed Jalapeno peppers. After I ordered that, the lady informed me of the combo deal which I happily accepted. They actually have tasty side items and their combos work with all of them. Funny how it takes a clown to get the shit right.
 
When I worked at Wendy's we had to promote the "promotional" item on the menu to every customer. So for every customer we'd have to say something like:

"Welcome to Wendy's, would you like to try our new Bacon Mushroom Melt combo today?"

If they said no, and said something like "I want a number two" we'd have to say "Would you like to Biggie size that for only 49 cents?"

If they only ordered a food item, we had to ask "Would you like a drink with that?"

It was incredibly annoying.
 
I just keep repeating myself until they get the clue.

"welcome to burger king can i take your order?"

"yeah, I would like a whopper with no onions, tomato and extra cheese please."

"would you like to make that a combo meal?"

"I'd like a whopper with no onion, tomato and extra cheese please."

"okay, and would you like anything to drink with that?"

"I'd like a whopper with no onion, tomato and extra cheese please."

"okay sir, your total comes to (whatever the fuck it is)... will that be for here or to go?"

"to go"

I then inspect the sandwich for spit.

Also... always make sure to add or take something off of a burger... this ensures a freshly cooked specimen.
 
;1008885']I do respect the people who work hard, even if their job is flipping burgers. I'm generally very nice to the people who handle my food. Most of the time, whenever I get a messed-up order, I politely tell them what happened and I don't ask for discounts.

Just FYI, in Clanton, AL- I am not allowed in the McDonald's. You know, because I'm an asshole. And I threw a hamburger. But if there's one thing I hate, it's disrespectful little lazy shits. No one forced you to flip burgers here. You get paid to provide a good and service.

When I was in high school, I worked in a Pizza Hut. I hated a lot of the customers that came in, because they would insist I gave them the wrong order or something when they came to pick it up (we couldn't do deliveries, only call-ins). I'd call the order back to them, by saying "Okay, I'm going to read the order back to you, so we can make sure we got it". Then they would try to get nasty with me when they showed up. I had people come in the resturaunt and demand free food because "the waitress didn't come and refill their drinks" (there was a fountain by the salad bar), and these people would suck down soda like they were starved.

But I always say "you only need to be 10% smarter than whatever items you are working with to do it right".

Another problem here is the fact that they don't like white people, and they'll call black people ahead of whites. Then glare at you when you try to be polite. I usually leave and call their company headquarters. I also have jotted down names of people working. If you do your job like a racist or a retard, you must not care about it. I don't mind seeing you unemployed... as a matter of fact, I am delighted by it.
 
If it's cheaper, why not get the combo and just *gasp!* don't eat the hashbrowns?



I did fast food. You have to ask the way the manager tells you to ask or you find your non-asking-ass unemployed. It sucks, because you take the brunt of the customers' pointless wrath, not the manager.
 
When I was 15 I worked for McDonald's for 6 months. I was working the front register one day, when a pissed off drive thru customer came through the door mad as hell, and without saying a word proceeded to throw a sandwich at me.

For whatever reason I found this funny as hell, and started laughing at the guy, and he just got this puzzled look on his face.

My manager was absolutely pissed, but she didn't show it. She came up and asked what was wrong. Apparently they put mustard on his hamburger when he didn't want any mustard or some stupid shit.

The manager said she'd personally make him a new sandwich. She went back to the back and pulled out some buns. She "accidentally" dropped the buns on the floor then picked them back up. Then she hocked a big nasty loogie on the bun before making the sandwich.

We both watched as the guy sat down in the dining room and ate every last bite.

I wasn't about to say shit, he had it coming.
 
every person willing to bitch at food industry employees should see the movie waiting.

I know a certain guy that while he was a cook put pubes and tons of other nasty shit for fucking with the servers.
