I suppose, by now, you've heard about the guy who drove into a McDonald's Play Area after they messed up his order. Luckily, nobody was hurt. (Hopefully, they will SuperSize this guy's prison sentence.)
However, it did remind me of a story:
Went through a drive thru (I won't name the place) and the clerk said they were having a small problem. He said if I would just pull forward, they’d bring my food out to me in a little bit. I pulled into the wait-space and waited.. and waited.. and waited. Nowhere to go and a book to read, so I was in no hurry.
Well, they completely forgot about me and closed up for the night. As the manager locked the front door, I beeped my horn and said, “Am I gonna get my order or what??”
His eyes came completely out of his head. I said, “I’ve been sitting here like your guy told me to for 30 minutes.” He turned to the guy behind the counter and pointed at me. The kid’s head went back in that “oh, NO” move. Manager came out all apologetic and offered to fire everything back up to make my meal, even though it’d take another half an hour. I’d gotten my laugh and declined.
I got enough coupons from them to eat free for a month.

How many have done this?
I was going out of town for the weekend, had been so hurried, packed the car and the kids, went through the drive through, placed my order, and drove right on past the pick up window. . . didn't discover it until a couple miles down the road. A true "Blonde" (sorry) moment! I think you only do that once though!

where's the beef?
I ordered a big mac with out sauce a few years ago and discovered that I was given one with extra sauce so my husband took it inside to get the right one. when he returned to the car I checked it again. this time it had the traditional amount of sauce ( still not what I ordered). He took it back in again. When he came back the second time I discovered that there was no sauce on it and no meat. I took it back in that time and the manager explained that he had someone new on the grill. He than gave me a stack of coupons for free meals.

hearing aide
Well about 7 yrs ago my brother and I went thru a drive thru for shakes, everyone in the family wanted one so there were 6 of them. Anyway we told the girl the order, she said can you repeat that. So my brother repeated it and was louder this time, she still couldnt hear. This went on for 5 mins and then my brother say oh never mind and we went down the street to another drive thru

I said NO pickles!
My boyfriend and I went to a fast food place for a quick dinner one night. He's a kind of fussy eater, so it's not easy to get his order down. I order, he orders, we get the food we sit down. His sandwich wasn't right. He takes it back, they make it again. He sits down again, and it's STILL not right. He takes it back to the counter again, and the woman proceeds to tell him that that sandwich was in fact what he had ordered, she wasn't making it again, and he needed to eat it, and be quiet. In fact, the sandwich had pickles on it, and I know for FACT my boyfriend wouldn't have ordered a pickle on his best day! He finally had to resort to telling her that he was allergic to pickles, and that even touching one could kill him, before she'd just quiet down, and remake the sandwich!

Drove through backwards
Well I am not a teenager but for a brief moment my boyfriend and I were 17 again and not 40 something. Yes this is a true story. We pulled in to a McD's it was dark. We seem to be crazies at times, we thought that this town in the thumb area was a bit boring!!! So why not give them something to talk about. We drove thru the drive thru backwards. At first the teenager took my money and then with a totally blank face started looking for the steering wheel. She then looked back at me and put the money in the register.Looking back at the car one last time confused. She then went to get the order and was talking to her co-workers and pointing at us. Just then a car pulls around and see's are head lights.SLAMS on his brakes and STOPS INSTANTLY!! He was highly confused to say the least. He started to back up then stopped, pulled forward, rolled down his window looked at us, looked at the numbers on the windows to make sure he was in the right place the right way. We are just laughing are behinds off at this point to the extent of tears. The girl that took the money got the manager and the other employees to come see us. They were all laughing so hard. They thanked us for making thier day. Then they said NO thank you for making our year.. We drove off backwards of course. I have always wondered about the guy behind us?? Laughingly...

My Coffee
Why is it, that when I order a large black coffee to go, I always get asked these same three stupid questions: What size coffee would you like? Do you want cream and sugar? and Will that be for here or to go? Maybe I need to brush up on my ebonics.

DRUNK LADY
I WORKED FOR A BURGER JOINT FOR A SHORT TIME. WE HAD A LADY COME THRU THE DRIVE THRU, WHICH YOU ARE ABLE TO HEAR WHAT THEY ARE ORDERING INSIDE.
THE LADY HAD TO HAVE BEEN DRUNK, SHE KEPT INSISTING WE COOK HER BURGER WELL DONE. WE EXPLAINED THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL THE COOKING TIME. SHE KEPT SAYING "WHAT?" "WHAT?" OVER AND OVER. LITTLE ADVICE, ONE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE, TWO, IF YOU'RE THAT DRUNK, ORDER A PIZZA.
