This is very particular annoyance: I go to McDonald's to get iced coffee. I ask can I have it extra sweet. They ask me 'how many do you want?' How many 'what' do I want??? So every time I ask, 'what are you talking about?' Then they get annoyed and say, 'One, two, three?' What unit of what product are we talking about here??? So I randomly say three...'that's REALLY sweet'....ok give me two. Eventually I order inside and figured out it was the amount of 'shots' of flavored syrup they put in. It drives me nuts. It's like me going to the counter and saying 'give me some of that'. Then they'd think I'd be hitting on their ugly ass...but I digress...
I'm with you - this has happened to me on several occassions but one recently comes to mind. I had class from 930-11 and gotten out a little early so I decided to bust it to the McDonalds to make it before 11 to get 2 of those sausage mcbiscuits for 99 cents. Get there in plenty of time like 10:55 and i start to order: "Them: May I take your order Me: Uhh yes I'd like 2 Sausage McBiscuits please Them: I'm sorry sir we aren't serving breakfast Me: What, it's 10:55 I still have 5 minutes, you serve breakfast until 11 Them: Oh, I'm sorry, we only serve breakfast until 11 on the weekends but only until 10:30 on the weekdays Me: Are you serious? You have got to be kidding me Them: Nope, sorry about that would you like something else Me: Yeah go ahead and give me a ******* Big Mac meal"
okay, lets list some particularly annoying fast food restaurants. anyone been to the wendy's in the tunnel downtown at lunch time
One time I ordered a big mac with only lettuce. When I went home to eat it, I found only buns and lettuce. I hate it when that happens.
Yea one experience that happened to me at the mcDs on westheimer and gessner. me: Let me have a southwest chicken salad cashier: a what me again: southwest chicken salad chashier: ok what kind of drink me: no drink that will be all so i pull up and there is what seems to be a manager at the window, i guess it was rush hour. he says gives me a price and i tell him that i didnt get a combo i got a southwest chicken salad. and he asks the sandwich or the salad so im thinking, if there is a southwest chicken sandwich, please by all means give me one of those. You are a damn manager why would you ask a dumb question like that. Dont you know your own menu??? Then i pull up to get the order which he had corrected and the lady hands me a drink and a bag which obviously had a burger in there. And i tell her that not what i order. You have no idea how frustrated I am at this point. She gives me my salad and i swear never to go to that mcdonalds ever again.
Man I work up mt greenspoint. This whole area s from i-10 to the beltway is a dump. It is like fresh paint and social skills missed this entire part of the city.
My most annoying thing is when they flat-out miss part of your order. ie. you paid for it, but they "forgot" to put it in the bag. I've been a lot better now at checking my order before I drive away. Worst example was that r****ded Taco Cabana on Westheimer@Montrose. First, they don't have a walk in area, so you have to ask for your condiments, which they inevitably screw up. And I've literally pulled right back through the drive through on several occasions to let them know they "missed" an item. The worst offense was last weekend when I ordered two burritos, and paid for them, and I received only one. Damnit, just writing that made me angry. Now I'm going to go write a complaint in on their website.
this sounds totally gross but I was with my uncle at kfc maybe 20 years ago (oh my god I can say 20 years ago now, god I feel old) anyhow KFC was had liver on the menu and we went through he drive through and the lady was like, "We are all out of chicken, bu we have liver if you would like that." gross
To be clear, I'm not saying the guys have the right to close early. They should stay open until the minute it's time to close. But that doesn't mean they can't get pissed off when someone shows up 10 minutes before closing time. I'm just sayin'..... When I worked in the rental car business, they told us to answer the phones until 10 minutes after closing time. Yeah, right. We locked that door right at closing time and NEVER answered the phones afterwards. I can remember lots of times whe we would lock the door as we saw someone driving up and hide behind our desks when they tried to look inside. Good times.
I agree with you 100% for the city of Houston. But when you get into smaller Texas towns you can tell there are a lot of sharp kids working there becuase at their age there is only so many options. I mean if I was in some tiny town and my options were work out in the hot sun for 7 an hour vs working in whataburger for 5.50, I am going to be handing you some ketchup at your table.
The most annoying thing for me is when I ask for PLAIN (no tomatoes, lettuce) . So one time I got the food I check in the parking lot and a freaking bacon cheese burger only has the buns and ONE Burger patty. NOTHING ELSE! So I go back and try to get them to explain where my bacon and cheese and mustard is? (Or whatever sauce comes with it) And they tell me you have to say "dry" for that. WTF? If I ordered a "BACON, CHEESE, BURGER" why the hell would you take off the bacon and cheese?
LOL, that is hilarious. Only because my wife is vegetarian and I will say a cheese burger w/o the meat with only cheese, pickles, onions, etc. An sometimes It will still have meat on it. It is the exact opposite of your scenario.
