So I'm hungry and want a quick bite to eat before watching leno tonight, so I leave at around 10:45 to go to Checkers that is about a mile from my place. I love their fries, and their burgers are pretty tastey as well. I wait in line for about 10 minutes once I get there, then place my order..."I'll take a large number four, ice tea to drink, and three chicken strips." Simple I'd think, a 1/4 lb burger, chicken strips, drink, fries....a monkey could do the job.

I pull around to the window (the one on the left...I can't reach far enough to get into the cheater line with my car), and am next in line for another 8 minutes or so before I am able to pay. Lady takes my card, swipes, hands me my drink, then asks me to pull around and wait. Bitch...give me the option next time if I want to wait, don't just take my money first.

So I wait....and finally I see the guy is coming out with my order. Looks like my lucky day, because he is carrying an extra milk shake....yay! Wait, where are my fries? WTF is this hot pocket looking thing in my bag? FUCK...wrong order. So I call the guy back over, and hand him back my free milk shake and the rest of the order, and ask for mine.

And I wait...

The guy comes back with a single bag (no consolation prize this time), and hands it to me. Of course I look into it at this point, and see a wrapped burger in the bag, and a small fry. WTF...where are my goddamn chicken strips and my large fry? Once again, I politely tell him I want the rest of my order. And so I wait afew more minutes again and he brings out another bag. I'm a head of the game this time, and check it while he is standing there...chicken strips are there, but not the large fry which is mostly what I wanted. So I send him back in.

And finally, I get my fries...I'm all set. As a rule, I don't eat in my car (say what you will, it's my car), and drive home. I start to spread everything out to eat, excited now because I was starving when I left and now it is time for Leno to come on. I eat my large fry, start on the chicken strips. Damn, they are all burnt to hell and basically inedible. Fine, I'll move on as I have enough food anyway. I go for my burger and IT IS A MOTHER FUCKING CHICKEN SANDWHICH!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!? WASN'T I PATIENT ENOUGH TO AT LEAST DESERVE THE RIGHT FOOD? ARE THEY THAT STUPID LATE NIGHT AT CHECKERS? They didn't fuck up the order once, but MULTIPLE times. Wouldn't you think that THEY would check it instead of me? Fuck...at least the fries are good....

<off topic> anyone ever eat at a stakes And shakes? Man I ate at one on a cross country trip and have been jonsing for the shit ever since, cat find one in NEPA though</off topic>
 
Hahaha. Man, the taco bell by my apartment is the same way. You order one thing, they give you another. Most of the time we're too drunk to care and just eat whatever they give us. Food is food.

One time we ordered like 10 soft tacos, paid for it, and they gave us like 5 bags of food. Probably for the person behind us in line. We were like "jackpot" and drove away. Haha.

There's one a few miles down the road, but I haven't eaten there in a few years. I went there one night after work and the food was ice cold. I was like "Fuck it, shit happens" and ate it anyway. A few weeks later, I went again and the food was ice cold again. That was enough for me to swear off that particular store.

But, yeah, if you can find a decent location the food is great.
 
Don't pull forward

I stopped pulling ahead a couple of years ago. You should see their face when they ask you to pull ahead and you just say, "No." Not in a rude manner, mind you. Just refuse. If you sit there and back up their line, you will get your food much faster. Just be sure to not be an ass or you will probably get spit in your food.

The best thing about it, though, is that your food won't get messed with (anymore than normal) if you do this because if they are so busy that they have to ask you to move forward then the drive-thru cashier is so busy that he/she won't have an opportunity to tell his/her friends that are making your food to do something to it.

As for Taco Bell, the last time I went there (about a month ago) I heard the cashier yell to another employee, "I FUCKING HATE WHITE PEOPLE" after she took my money and closed the window. The person that was obviously the manager was standing less than four feet from her so I know she heard it. The craziest part about it was that I was never rude or demanding in any way. Needless to say I just threw the food away (it was less than $5) and went to Chik-Fil-A. I love that place.
 
Yeah I'm sober and was by myself or else I prob would have just laughed it off...but I was damn hungry and they got it all wrong.

Heh...kinda shameful to admit, but I worked at Steak n Shake. Tastey shakes though.

Geek, funny thing, my Taco Bell is exactly the same way. I'll prob go there next time instead of checkers though...
 
I never mind if a fast food place messes up my order (drive-thru), I actually hope they do, then you can just call them back and let them know what happened. They won't ask you to come back with their food. They'll just tell you the next time you come back you get a free meal. Just make sure to get the managers name and time you called them and keep your receipt as proof.

Although I've only done that that once, I don't really care, food is food. You can actually get away doing the same thing even if you didn't order anything, and wanted a free meal.
 
Hmm, I thought this was goin to be some sort of rant about how your 5 year old niece whoops your ass in checkers (the game?) consistently and you were pissed off.

Haha, when I read the thread title I pictured some angry guy smacking a checkers board off a table.

This has to be the best myth ever. In today's happy-go-lucky you just looked at me wrong, I'm going to sue the ever living day lights out of your blood line society. I doubt it happens often, if I'm wrong then congratulations on that new BMW.

People don't think when they are waiting to place an order that any one can hear them.

So when some guy is describing how he got head the other night in excruciating detail while waiting, the look on his face was priceless when you kindly inform him that the entire store heard him along with the people waiting to order at the counter.

It don't get much better than that.

Did you try to eat one of those little green peppers? (meh dunno if they all have it but the ones in my area do) They aren't that hot. :)
