Life Why is it so hard to get a burger made the way I want it? - Page 5

**pr_capone** · 06-21-2011, 12:01 PM

The last 4 times I have eaten at a burger joint, 1 actual restaurant and 3 fast food places, they have screwed up my order. Now, had my order been some convoluted mess I might understand but my order is ketchup only.

HOW THE **** CAN IT BE SO DIFFICULT TO LEAVE EVERYTHING OFF THE ****ING BURGER AND THEN SQUIRT SOME GOD DAMNED KETCHUP ON IT?

If burgers came preloaded with lettuce, pickles, onions, mayo, mustard, ketchup I could understand how my order might be difficult. ****ing shit people... I want my ****ing burger the simplest way possible yet no one can seem to get it right.

KETCHUP ONLY YOU ****ING IDIOTS.

I'm glad I'm not a picky eater.

My former BIL was at a nice restaurant for breakfast with the family. He ordered two eggs over-easy among other things. When they brought him his food he sent it back saying the eggs were over-cooked. They sent out the next batch of eggs and again he sent them back saying they were over-cooked. The third batch came out and the eggs were uncooked. When my sister told me that story I laughed like hell. (My former BIL was a total dick.)

Your BIL has unknowingly consumed a lot of spit, snot and other substances in his lifetime.

Yep.

I know going in that it's going to be a gamble. If a dish is not even in the same ballpark of what I ordered, I assume that some poor soul is getting what I ordered, so I let them know about the mix up.

Other than that, I don't bitch.

Worked at popular restaurant chain for 2 years in college and the worst people to piss off are the chefs by making them do 2x the work for something trivial and petty. If something was legitimately burnt or a wrong order there was never a problem but for people just looking to be a dick...

They've had forks in their mouth that just came out of a rectum, toilet water in their pitcher, semen in the mash potatoes and they've grown very good at hiding it.

"Don't piss off the people that handle your food" is a very true statement. If you're really pissed grab the manager and tell him you're not paying and leave because once it's in the hands of the monkeys to decide justice gentleman's combat rules go out the window.

In an instance that stands out to me, I didn't get the burger how I wanted so I didn't get one at all.

Burger King had some promotional burger, and one of it's condiments was chipotle mayo. But it was some double patty and bacon monstrosity, and a whopper was more my speed. I like all things spicy [Oh, and it was a lull period with nothing in the bins, so whatever burger I ordered would be made then and there], so I asked for a whopper with the chipotle mayo instead of regular.

No.

Not even a "that'll be a quarter extra."

No.

WTF? Walked out.

OTOH, the same place [different manager on duty] last week had no problem with putting jalapenos and fire sauce from their NEW monstrosity burger on my whopper. Didn't even charge extra.

I agree, too. However, if it's a consistent problem with the drive thru, and it's just about ketchup (or mustard) on an otherwise plain burger, I'd find it worth the effort to use a packet rather than having to go back to the restaurant.

Yep, my dad taught me as a little boy to never be rude to those who handle your food.
But GotDamn! I've never heard of the two revenges you mention here.

I've never laid on the floor when it was happening and got a good enough look to estimate penetration or technique but I assure you the part that goes in the mouth was thoroughly assed when they finished.

The only thing I want omitted from a burger is cheese, and that seems to be quite a chore for those in the kitchen. Even at sub shops, when I say "no cheese", they either stare at me for a minute trying to compute that someone actually doesn't want cheese, or they say "what kind?" as if "no" is some new type of cheese but they aren't sure they heard me correctly.

These discussions piss me off because I am picky about how things are served to me, but very polite, clear and concise in my orders.

And I'm not talking about sending things back, can't imagine I've done that more than 2-3 times in my entire life, actually can't recall a specific instance of EVER doing so. MoF I DO recall in college eating the less burnt half of a burnt helping of lasagna at the Olive Garden, and only complained a the end when the manager asked if everything was delicious. More meekly pointing to the burnt half on my plate.

I'm more like what's her name in 'When Harry met Sally.' I like red onions on my salad, and Outback has them but doesn't put them on there, so I ask for some to be put on there. Or at Red Robin, I love blue cheese on a burger, but they put A1 on their blue cheeseburger, so I either order that without the A1, or different burger with blue cheese instead of whatever cheese normally comes on it. I also have a habit at FF restaurants of ordering something custom [even if it's just extra onions] just to assure that I get something fresh, but I don't do that when they're slammed and have a bin full of fresh product. That kind of thing.

Its one thing to 'piss off' cooks by always sending shit back. Its another entirely to "make them do 2x the work for something trivial and petty" when all I'm doing is ordering my food in the manner I would most enjoy it.

I could understand a spork but a fork is just barbaric.
