You're joking, right?

Those always hurt my feet.

This thread is making me hungry for crappy food.

I wish I were; sad, so very sad.:deevee:

I can't drive a standard, although i've never tried. Doesn't look that difficult.

It's not really sad.
Just surprising.

It's not.

I've been spoiled by automatics.

I knew a guy from Alva, OK. Did you live there?

You're just lazy.

I haven't owned an automatic since 1981. I get bored driving 'em; always looking for something to do with my left foot.

Oh, and on-topic, I can't stand ketchup on a fast food sandwich, but it gets on there sometimes anyway. They get 'em back.

I'm on my first vehicle that is an automatic, I miss the stick and would have gotten a 5 speed if I could have found one in the midwest.

I dont eat tomatoes on sandwiches, but do eat tomatoes on Taco Bell fare. I just never really taste them and picking them out became a real PITA.

I dont special order anything from these places. I figure it only sets me up for disappointment when they fail to get it right. It's not worth the time and effort over fast food fare.

Now, if we're talking about a 35 dollar NY Strip not cooked right--medium rare--then we're going to have to send it back.

I hope you enjoy spit in your food.

Adds to the flavor.

True, they can cook another one, however.

Wow. You're the true winner in that arrangement.

LOL...my "send back" ratio is probably less than 1%. It has to be pretty bad to get sent back.

I wouldnt trouble myself with a FF joint, though. I can think of much worse things than saliva--considering I was on the other side of that counter a mere 20 years ago.

I don't think I'll be going to dinner with many of you.

I've never worked for a Fast Food chain, but I did work at Applebee's during college. Probably why I rarely eat out anymore.
The people who have never worked in food service have no idea.
oh, by the way, enjoy your next "dining out" meal!

I understand.

In order to enjoy a meal out, I have to ignore what I've seen in kitchens.

That's never happened to me before. I was merely pointing out that I'd be more inclined to get my order 'right' at a place that was a little more upscale than a Taco Bell.

Not yet. My family lives there. I usually am there twice a month.

I think the problem here stems from the Mexicans working in the joints. When we English speaking people say, NO ketchup, they here "ketchup" and think HE WANTS Ketchup.

Somehow "no ketchup" gets herd as "wanno ketchup" or something like that. The main thing, is that they don't understand a word you are saying, other than the keywords, such as ketchup, mayo, onions, etc.

If they hear the word, they put it in.

Next time, try ordering the burger by saying, PLAIN, with(######,#####,#####, on it)

Unfortunately, the fast food clerks that I deal with here don't even have that as an excuse. There aren't any Mexicans behind the counters. They're all working in the chicken plants downstate.

Yeah I'm sure those Spanish speaking Mexicans have a hard time understanding the word "no"

I don't see how a Taco Bell order can be wrong.


How can a turd wrapped in paper be incorrect? Not enough peanuts? Too many tomato skins?

what's spanish for 'no'?

The only spanish I know is:

"Uno Cerveza Por Favor". I can replace 'Uno' with other numbers as the need dictates, but that's all I got.

no

Well, you learn something new every day. I just increased my spanish vocabulary by 10%.

We stopped in at a McDonnalds coming back from OK City the other day around 1:30 pm. We go through the drive through, I ordered 2 double cheeseburgers with ketchup only. We finally get our order and start to pull out, I have the wife look at one of my burgers before we leave the lot, she tries to look, 'course the cheese has glued the bun to the burger, and only sees a smear of ketchup so we pull on out. I take a bite and find out they put everything on them. So now I have to fight the traffic to get turned around, then I have to stand at the counter while everyone in the store tries to ignore the guy holding their mistakes.

What is up with that? These people earn their living making hamburgers for customers. They aren't the 4:00 in the afternoon kids that are still unskilled in the workforce, they are professionals! But can they get an order right? Nope. I worked at a Wendys for 6 years through highschool and college, trust me, it isn't that hard people.


And don't even get me started on the local Sonic. Usually I prefer Sonic over everything fast food, but the store here is so slow that you have to pull up on a soda order.

Tomatos and lettuce don't bother me, I can take those off my burger and throw them in their lot. It's the mustard that I can't stand.

ROFL

That's borne out in my encounters with paper hat wearers.

I see you problem. You went to one of those imitation places that suck. Had you gone to the real thing, McDonalds, that never would have happened because they dont hire humans, they hire droids who are mistake free.

...

Professionals!
ROFL ROFL ROFL

Actually, my mom would cook those vegtables and would dish out beatings if they weren't eaten. Here a few years back she was cooking brussel sprouts and told me I was going to eat them that I didn't have a choice. (And she was serious too). I laughed at her and told her I was a grown man with money in my pocket and if that was the way things were going to be, I'd just go to McDonalds then. I didn't eat the sprouts.

Why yes; yes I am.


Not to mention: not the sharpest tool in the shed. Don't get me wrong, I am an excellent standard automobile operator as long as I go in a straight line and don't have to turn or stop. :D

Yeah, it really stinks when you forget you're in an automatic and having to stop quick, you slam your left foot down for the clutch and catch the edge of the brake.

Why Endelt; I didn't realize you were so versed in Bible scripture. :)

Just throw the car in neutral every time you're confused.

Reverse must scare the hell out of you!

Yeah, I would have to agree with that, but the percentage of Mexicans is way up these days. I suppose that is to their credit, since the average teenager is much too proud to take a job like that these days.

I would be driving in neutral much of the time.




ROFL
I'm just so vulnerable. :deevee:

Yeah. No special orders. They will just screw it up, or it will take longer.

Honoring thy mother goes out the door when she demands I eat stinky green vegtables.

Whatever happened, to "God created all fruit and seed bearing plants, He gave them to the man for food, and He saw that it was good."(paraprhased)?

They are good. The beef eats them, then I eat the beef.

:D

It's time for the robots to take over Taco Bell.

Dey took oor joobs!!

Y'now, the wife and I have gone around on that one from time to time. She'll get upset because I don't act enthused about what she cooks. She says, "I cooked it for you". To which I respond, "If you'd cooked it for me, [redneck] you'd've [/redneck] cooked what I wanted.

Or Taco John.

Either way we win!

Just don't eat the "fat portions", those are to be offered as a burnt offering.

No, it's not a chicken sandwich! I want a Goddamned cheeseburger and some Goddamned fries you ****ing goobacks!

ROFLROFLROFLROFL


Dat's fuuuny!


In a sad sort of way.

ROFL

OK, look. Here's the deal. People are trained in fast food places on how to make standard food items. They are then pushed to make them as quickly as possible so that they can make them without thinking. This causes mistakes. The mistakes are never going to go away. If it bothers you that much don't go there, so the lines will be shorter for me.

But, it's funnier to make a big stink thus making you wait longer for your food. :p :D
