Fast food restuarants or for that matter any place that screws up your food order. Come on it's not that hard to not mess up someones food. I just ordered from Taco Bell and I don't eat lettuce or tomatoes. I order a crunchwrap supreme, taco and two double decker tacos. The morons put lettuce and tomato on my crunchwrap. The ticket even says -lettuce - tomato. Atleast they almost got all of my order right.

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.

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.

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.

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)

Lots of children learn they can get away with only eating what they really enjoy (usually junk food) by whining and becoming a "picky eater". Then that behavior continues when they are older, and they truly do become picky.

JMO. I don't like brussel sprouts.

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.

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.

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