driveby Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The latest one for me is those pre-recorded messages that play automatically when you pull up to the drive-thru menu board; "Hi, welcome to McFastfood. Would you like to try our new triple carmel iced mocha latte?" Um no, if I wanted one I would just order one on my own. I never know what I should do. Should I say no thanks to the message and dive right into my order? Should I wait for a real person? Is the real person listening and waiting for me to respond to the recording? What's the correct procedure here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta be 15 years since I used a drive-thru....so I am not going to be of help or the correct procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geeteebee Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 In a very monotone voice say: 'I'd like a hamburger. Please press or say 1 if you would like to know what I want on my hamburger. Please press or say 2 if you would like to know if I want fries with that. Please press or say 3 if you would like to know what I'd like to drink' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I rarely go in fast food places at all any more, on the occasions when I have, I'm in and out with my order while the fifth car in line has only advanced to the second spot.

Controller Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) My advice is don't be a dick when ordering at the drive through. True story: Years ago I was standing inside a Jack in the Box and the guy ordering at the drive through was being a complete ass - basically insulting the order taker. I saw the guy making his food take a hamburger bun, blow his nose into it, and then make his burger with it. After the guy drove off, the workers were laughing their asses off.

driveby Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 The door to the employee restroom is closed and locked. You can see light coming out from under the door and if you listen carefully you can probably hear my turds spashing into the bowl. Is it really necessary to jiggle the handle and knock?

If I witnessed something like that, I would enter into complete narc mode. I would call the manager, I would call any 800 number for the franchise that I could find, I would call the local news channels, and obviously I would never frequent that business again.
