I'm talking about a situation where fast food might be an only choice. I know, just go home, but it's nice that I can get something there if that's the situation. Whatever.Qayin post=18.72287.758958 said:
I don't use their dressing anyway. So unless they manage to fuck up the lettuce I think I'm alright.
someone has to get minimum wage. The job doesn't deserve respect. You deserve abuse if you take 20 minutes to get me a burger that takes the average monkey two minutes to make properly, and you add mayo that I said I don't want there. ANd yes, if someone fucks up my order when I ask for no mayo I'm going to abuse them as much as legally possible.jim_doki post=18.72287.754145 said:
agreed. I hate mayonaise with a passion. even on tuna. Which sucks since no one else in my family hates mayo and they all seem to love it on subs where condiments just don't belong!!
bad Salad in fast food places. I'm so tired of hearing about how you can get a salad from Mc donalds. Yea at best the rubbery feel comes from pesticides.
1. They are everywhere
2. They are the epitome of everything which is wrong with capitalism
3. The animals are either treated harshly, or pollute the earth by either cutting down trees for grazing land or by farting, for want of a better word
4. The food tastes awful
5. The employees have no sense of self-worth. I don't want to be served by a guy who has become a robot and incapable of individual thought.

Also, to any vegetarians who are going to yell at me for insulting fast foods salad. I'd rather just order a burger and take off the meat than eat that salad.
Ive worked at 2 different coffee shops for the last 2 and a half years.
1. Mr. Gotti who orders a single cup of ordinary coffee, demanding to know how long since it had started brewing, and then paid for it ($1.65) with a $100.... Now I had the change, technically, but if I had then I would have around $15 in the drawer, and the line of people behind him would get fucked over, because the process of getting additional change from the safe at coffee shops throws a gorilla sized wrench into the machine.
2. The middle-aged angry housewife demographic that orders the most complicated drink including a third skim, a third soy, a third 2%, a whole galaxy of multicolored syrups, sweeteners and frothing styles that takes about 15 minutes to make by the most talented of baristas. When she gets the drink... comes back later and says theres too much vanilla.
3. People who watch me make their drink. I understand that a lot of them are kids that are "curious" or some malarkey, but there are some people that come nearly around the counter to basically watch my every move and make sure Im doing it right.
4. People who don't know what a drink is when its put up. I realize that this is a strange thing about when I complain about people paying attention, but people seem to forget in 2 minutes what it is that they ordered and sit there asking "what is this?" or the occasional business-fuck who just grabs whatever drink comes closest to him, then has the nerve to complain later.
5. Blue-tooth.
6. People who seem to find our store when its in the middle of huge rush and orders an order that would have to would have to be cut in half to be described as gigantic.
Things I DO like:
* people watching; sometimes when its quiet, we can't help but just watch peoples mannerisms, and its interesting at coffee shops
* Incredibly hot older women (and younger women) that come in everyday for coffee and things. Especially the 30-some year old salsa teacher who is probably the biggest milf of all time
* dish washing sprayers... soaks someone in seconds

You know, talking about the fast food industry has reminded me of all the crap I have to put up as a soccer referee. You do NOT want to be yelled at by a soccer mom, or stared down by a 6'5" 280 pound man (especially when you only weigh a modest 115 at about 5'5". :/). What's even worse is that while people take fast food workers for granted (or at least most of the people I meet do, they just hate it WHEN they act stupid), people usually think that refs are biased against their team. One soccer mom went so far as to say that I was biased against her daughter (in U10 soccer, real little kids where competittion is hardly important) because she constantly took (mediocre) potshots at the goal and we wound up giving the other team 15 goal kicks in a row... She started saying there is a rule against it, and then started heckling in the stands... I asked her to leave, but I had to go send somebody out to get the head ref before she finally left.
The reason so many so those salads are unhealthy is because of all of the stuff they put on them. Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch Salad with Newman's Own Ranch Dressing? Chicken BLT Salad with Homestyle Garlic Croutons and Honey Mustard Dressing? Those don't even sound healthy. I have to special order anyway to get rid of the meat, so I get rid of all of that other shit too. I've only had these a few times anyway, I don't live on them. Just look at these salads - http://www.foodfacts.info/blog/uploaded_images/wend-slds.jpg - That middle one, yuck.yourkie1921 post=18.72287.760606 said:
I mean seriously, a BLT salad? Good lord... Anyone that thinks they'll lose weight on something like that deserves to be fat.
I've heard from a couple of my friends who have had the misfortune to work at a burger king or mcdonalds that their pretty clean and hygenic. Of course i've heard some horror stories as well. Anyone who has something against employees of stores, try smiling at them and saying thankyou and see how they react to you then! A lot of them may seem nicer!
1) The watered down drinks
2) The smell
3) A proportion of the customers
4) Charging for condiments
5) The quality of fries!

lol Shivari . Also, taste the lettuce in those salads and pay attention to the texture. I don't care what they put on it or don't put something on it, that's NOT healthy.
And, I've never had this problem with other restaurants, but taco bell. The inside smells horrible!

1. Sticky tables.
2. Even stickier restrooms.
3. Non-english speaking employees.
4. The requests of: "Do you want a combo meal instead? Super size it? Would you like fries?" UM...DID I ASK FOR IT? HELL NO....IF I WANTED IT...I'D F'N ORDER IT THE FIRST TIME.
5. Why does my to go orders rarely have napkins included.

My main complaint is when I go to for example McDonalds. and I order a plain double cheeseburger. It better damn well come out with fucking cheese on it. I swear to god if this happens again, someone is getting stabbed. Curbstomped if I'm in a bad mood.
Second is what kind of experience do I need to get hired? Johnny pothead there got hired cause he was able to not be sroned for the thirty seconds you saw him.
Third, If I order something simple for instence say A tripple whopper, plain, extra cheese. Why the fuck does it come out with two patties, and fucking everything on it, except cheese. NO, three pieces of your stale meat, and lots of cheese, nothing else, hell I dont care if you forget my bread. Do they think I'm going to be fooled into thinking that thoses sauses and not meat or cheese, is going to fool me into thinking it looks and tastes like meat and cheese.
Fourthly, If you are so far north where two hours away I could be in Canada, Be able to understand me and the language I am speaking. DOnt put up Emanuel Until he can speak english enough to get my plain double cheeseburger right.
And lastly, when I order a plain double cheese burger it damn well better have, bread, meat and cheese inside that wrapper and nothing more, and nothing less.
I lied, that wasnt the end. Sixthly, if I order my fries with no salt, because I dont want them to be stale and cold, cont give me stale and cold fries with salt on them. And certainly dont look at me wierd whn I ask for extra salt.

I have a personal preference for not becoming a regular. I work in Windham, ME, and there are several places of fast foodery within range for lunch, but I go to Tim HOrton's for breakfast. Now, What I don't like is when one or more of the people there went so beyond friendly it was creepy. One addressed me by name, and I didn't go back for a week.
I'll teach them to recognize me. My fedora may be to...conspicuous. Or maybe my devilish good looks.
Oh, and the woman who yelled at me for making a suicide drink in Taco Bell is evil. Dr. Rootpepsisprite will be a brand name some day, I swear it.

I work at Wal-Mart and as such, can understand how it sucks to be on the other side of the counter. That said, why is it that McDonalds is the ONLY fast-food restaurant within walking distance? If I have to eat some fast food, which unfortunately is often, I would rather Subway or BK or Dairy Queen or A&W. Why W-M and McDs are buddy-buddy is beyond me.
I would also like to second the "no napkins with to-go orders" complaint. Taking your breakfast/lunch/dinner/sometimes-all-3 out back gets irritating if you can't clean up afterward.
Other than that, I'm fine with fast food (in moderation, of course, which many local planetoids don't seem to understand the meaning of).
And to ALL the people who complain and ***** and whine and complain some more about fast food, I say to you:
JUST DON'T EAT IT!!!
