Food Service/Retail Woes

[Heavencloud]

I also enjoy having to explain why my store is out-of-stock of something. That being said, I'd take the most obnoxious customer over any of my third try GED bosses any day of the week.

Lmfao. Reminds me of why I'm glad to never have to work in a grocery store again (and I did it for 4 years, fuuuuuuuck).

Oh let me give you an example of what these dumb shit bosses due, or at least the ones I’ve dealt with.

“Oh hey, were not selling a lot of jeans or jackets. You guys have to pick up on selling that or your asses are going to be in trouble”

“Hey boss ya know it’s July right?”

“Don’t fucking question me just do what I say”

I just stay away from special orders in general from fast food places, so its pretty rare I get a mistake. Though there was time in the In-N-Out drive through where the person in front of me apparently got their order messed up. Which is strange since In-N-Out is one of the most reliable places around, but from the amount of stuff they got from the window it must have been a big order. It got weird when they stopped shortly after pulling from the window, and the portly woman who made the order decided to get out of her car and waddle back to the drive through window to complain, after I had already pulled up. Which meant she had to wedge herself between the building and my car, and stick half her ass over my side mirror while she bitched to the poor girl taking orders. I just sat there stunned, afraid to say much lest she decide to be an even bigger bitch and leave her car parked in the drive through exit, preventing me from leaving. Honestly though, if you have a large, complex order, go inside. And if you need to complain then park, and go inside.

No go, if it's lettuce that's one thing, if it's something that squirts juice out when you press the sandwich together, the shit soaks into the bread and the patty. Shit still tastes just as gross as if you left the thing on there.

Give me an example of how bad your bosses are.

Snide comments like "I haven't seen you in awhile" when I wasn't getting any shifts cuase of labor cutbacks. Changing things at random in the store even though sales data said it would be a bad idea. Yelling at people for not being productive then spending 2+ hours screwing around on an xbox kinect. Flat out lying to customers. Shall I go on?

when I was working at Hardee's a guy brought back his burger twice saying it was too cold, and demanded a burger that was literally steaming hot.

[Skidz]

Just take the tomatoes off. Wrong sauce or sauce when you asked no sauce is different, but you can easily take off the veggies. Sounds like you were just being a bitch.

Have a friend who is allergic to raw tomatoes. I get embarrassed every time I'm eating out with her cuz instead of just saying "no tomatoes please", she decides to explain the whole situation including allergic reactions to the person taking the order.

You know what gets me?

The past 4 or 5 times I've been to Burger King and ordered a cheeseburger they've asked me if I want cheese on it.

I mean, really. I've worked at various places in retail/food service and it never ceases to amaze me how people can fail so hard at their jobs. I especially like the ones that bitch about it everyday, as though it's not the easiest fucking job they will ever have in their life.

Yes, please.

I just don't see how difficult it is not to fuck up orders. I mean mistakes happen, but when they happen more often than not. That screen that tells you what to make? I know it says no mayo, no mustard, etc. Especially when it's half hour from closing and I'm literally the only customer in the store.

Really, pay the fuck attention.

[hey]

Go back to the Burger King, took the other sandwich and said, "You guys accidentally gave me some mayo. I felt wrong keeping it, since I didn't order or pay for mayo, so I came to give it back to you guys" threw the sandwich on the floor, said "you can tell the person who put mayo on my fucking sandwich to come clean this shit up" and walked out.

You can afford to throw away a sandwich like that? It's like i don't even know you anymore.

One time my buddy, Rich, and I went to a Wendy's after work. Rich ordered a burger with extra pickles. The burger that he got had 3 pickle slices on it, so he went up to the counter again. "Excuse me, I ordered extra picklessss. Since this only has three pickles on it, I can only assume that either a burger normally comes with one pickle slice, or you didn't make this with extra pickles. I would like another burger, and this time put so many pickles on it that you think, 'This is gross. Nobody will eat this many pickles.' THAT'S WHEN YOU DOUBLE IT!"

Sure enough, he unwrapped his second burger to find an overflowing mess of pickles. He mused, "I was right. This is gross and no one would ever eat this." He threw it away and we left.

I went to McDonalds this past weekend with a friend. Got a some stuff to go, got home, found that the cheeseburger he'd ordered had no burger in it. Bun with cheese, ketchup, etc...no patty. How in the hell do you mess that up?

They get orders wrong fairly frequently if my brother and I go through the drive through...usually forget something...but completely blanking on the primary ingredient of a sandwich is new to me.

Sonic is also terrible in my experience. Echo back, say, "no onions"...get food home, oh hey, onions. At least 3 out of 4 visits. It can't be that hard, can it?

[Deadgye]

The amount of times I get wrong orders from wendys when I'm ordering in the store is astounding. Stuff like cheese on my "Double stack no cheese only ketchup", and normal nuggets instead of spicy nuggets.

I don't understand how they get this shit wrong when I specifically tuned my ordering procedure to match the buttons they have to input and so that they're less likely to forget. "A crispy chicken sandvich no mayo, a double stack no cheese only ketchup, a number 10 spicy, medium, dr pepper no ice." I pause for them so they have time to finish entering it in before moving onto the next time but I still end up having to watch the display because every now and then they forget to punch in something vital like "no cheese". And then sometimes they still fuck up making the sandvich and put cheese on it.

The best part is when I go back and tell them I asked for no cheese, and then they make me a new one exactly the same and as they're about to hand it to me I'm like I just watched her put cheese on it...

They haven't fucked up my/our largest orders yet though, although I imagine it's pretty hard to screw up "80 orders of spicy nuggets" or "40 orders of spicy nuggets and 40 orders of normal nuggets".

If you don't inspect every single thing in the bag before leaving the window, you deserve what you get.

The order is only wrong when you don't inspect the bag. It's magic.

[hey]

That is why you inspect it every single time.

The McDonald's closest to my house is really bad. Thing is though, they rarely fuck up my order, they just give my order to somebody else. Their drive-thru gets out-of-order so often it's crazy. I'll order like, a #1, large, coke, a #2, medium, sprite, and a cheeseburger happy meal for my daughter and they'll try to hand me a drink holder full of latte's and a fucking salad.

you guys eat fast food a lot
