Been behind way too many dolts asking what’s in a bacon, Gouda, and egg sandwich. The folks that order for the office need to get bent too.

I use the app exclusively and go in for pickup

Ok...for any of the people in here who know all fast food menus cold...without cheating, tell me what the ten types of chicken sandwiches on Wendy's current menu are called.

Wendy's: Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Add pickles, hold the tomatoes.


That's it. That's the sandwich. Always has been, always will be.

The extra time it takes for them to make your sandwich custom like that is probably the same amount of delay people from looking at the menu.

Sounds like an EATOFF challenge awaits me.....

AND ALSO YOU!!!!1111

Why do fast food drive throughs all put the menu in a spot where you can't see it until you're at the front of the line of cars and the person taking orders is impatiently asking what you want?

How do you not know what you want?

Post of the year. I'm astonished that there are people going to fast food restaurants and don't know what they want before they get there. It's not like the menus are typed up new and fresh every day.

I eat fast food maybe twice a year. Maybe There are 350 things on the del taco menu. There are 42 different tacos. Gimme a second.

Walk inside then, lazy bones.

No.

It’s almost always late night, when the inside is locked anyway. But just for you, I usually just tell my wife to order me whatever. Happy now?

how on earth does this work?

you tell her to make a decision without any input and she..... does it????

Yeah, this is just a tad askew.....

im just going to guess.

Grilled chicken w/wo cheese w/wo let, tom, onion, may (so club or not club)
Breaded chicken same options
SPicy chicken same options

SO that gets me 12 options there

Grilled plain
Grilled w cheese no club
Grilled w.o cheese club
Grilled w cheese and club
Breaded 4
Spicy 4

Close?

I appreciate that you were the only person who has actually tried it so far, but no...not close. Maybe two of those would get you roughly what you're trying to get if you ordered them at the drive thru. Part of the reason I need the menu is so that I know what they call each combination, because it's not like a local deli where I can just describe what I want and they'll give it to me.

And without fail it’s faster than I would have done it and almost always results in something I like

Not an IT/computer guru so there's probably some reason I'm unaware of, but why can't we standardize the requirements for an online password?

1. No capital letters
2. Must use at least two each of capital letters and lowercase letters
3. Must be exactly 8 characters long
4. Minimum of 6 characters long
5. Must use at least one special character but it can only be one of these: % ^ - = + @
6. No special characters allowed
7. Password must contain a number but cannot begin with a number
8. Can't be a password similar to one you've ever used before

Can we all just adopt one set of rules to go by? I don't want to use one single password for everything, but at the very least will you tell me the rules after I type the wrong one in three times instead of locking my account?

Huh? I don't think so. This isn't 1990. They used to pre-make burgers and what-not and just have them sitting under a heat lamp but I don't think any fast food joints do this anymore, unless I'm mistaken. Everything's pretty much made to order, no?

I can respect it.....saves you some time I guess. Just never occurred to me that ordering from a menu was such a complex task or one that needed assistance. Maybe working in the restaurant industry creates a fatigue.

 

[massraider]

Walk inside then, lazy bones.

Every single morning, in New England, in every town, there is a line of cars at the Dunkin' Donuts drive thru, and no one inside at the counter. Every. Single. One.

Popeyes would like a word with you, and Sonic and McDonald's. A lot of places precook their meat, keep it warm and then assemble your sandwich when you order.

Yeah I didn't think about Popeye's and the like. I guess I just don't go to those places enough. I do go to Wendy's, McDonald's, Weinerschnitzel... those places make to order, at least that's what I've been told. Well, I frequented those places a lot when I wasn't dieting like I am now.

 

[zoobird]

On a side note - Popeyes may have the most effective marketing ever (at least on me). Ever time I go by one and see "Louisiana Kitchen" my initial reaction is excitement that there's a new Cajun restaurant in the area...

...always followed by horrible disappointment when I realize that it's just Popeyes.

This drives me nuts. Just tell me the requirements when I set up the account, dillweeds.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Weinerschnitzel.

A peeve of mine for years. If you don't sell Wiener schitzel, don't call yourself that. Grrr.

Serious question, bc I'm not in NE and don't often go to Dunkin here in my town, but do they intentionally encourage this? The most recent time I did go, I saw a line and so went inside. Then I waited while at least 4 or 5 people in their cars got through before someone came over to the counter to help me. I would have preferred to wait in my car if I knew I was going to wait that long either way.

 

[General Malaise]

Has Dunkin Donuts figured out how to make a passable dark roast coffee? Their coffee is weak trash for dark roast enthusiasts. Been 15 years tho....maybe they figured it out?

West Coast coffee >>>>> East Coast Coffee.

 

[General Malaise]

Pet Peeve: weak coffee

 

[massraider]

No. And they aren't trying. Budweiser isn't developing any dope new IPAs either, before you ask.

Not that I am aware of, in my experience Americans don't need any help being lazy.

When I park and actually walk into Dunky's, I have definitely waited a minute or two while the entire staff is handling drive thru, but never more than one or two cars.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Our drive thrus are painfully slow. What happened to our fast food culture? Ray Kroc must be rolling in his grave.

 

[Gr00vus]

Weinerschnitzel.

Seems like a restaurant with limited appeal. Also - language filter circumvention violation.

 

[parasaurolophus]

People that demand the price of something that is clearly wrong. Yes it was on an end cap that says 39 bucks on the top. No it isn't 39 bucks. It is a 300 dollar tool set.

Budweiser's parent company has been gobbling up craft breweries that specialize in IPAs so Bud doesn't have to even try. 10 Barrel makes an incredible IPA. Bud bought 'em and let's the former owners run operations. Smart.

I think “assembled to order”

What is wrong with people that have previously had chick FIL and go to a new location?

Omg a new chick fil a!!!!! Must go and complain about the line on Facebook.

 

[parasaurolophus]

When the barista at Starbucks asks for my name while I am clearly ready to scan my phone and have the app on full display.

People that use any tobacco products. Just disgusting dregs.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Hate the slow drive through folks. Agree with all of you on that side of the fence.

Popeyes - 9/10 customers in front of me are FLOORED at the cost and I have to Listen to them complain, re-order, or just flat out walk out after wasting 5 minutes.

The prices on on the menu people .

 

[Drunken knight]

Re: fast food.

yes, i do not appreciate the long ordering.

Also, I am one who likes to see the menu before pulling up. I always have 3 standards ready to go, but like seeing promos/what's new. We also do not do a lot of FF so sometimes i just don't know what a place serves.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Like the Dairy Queen Puppy Chow Blizzard. WTF? We had to look that one up.

 

[Drunken knight]

I can’t remember the last time I was in a dq. We don’t have many around us.

Sorry about that. They will likely be back at some point. The flavors are changed monthly.

Restaurants that I used to like to go to that I now avoid because they are just disgustingly dirty. DQ is a prime example around here.

Businesses that can only be reached by leaving a phone message and waiting for them to call back. I'm ok with email, text, phone where you answer when I call, or phone where we schedule to talk at a specific time. But if our communication relies on you calling me back at a random time, there's a near zero chance that we're going to get to talk to each other.

Businesses that don't list their price range for services on their website. I'm looking for a family photographer for studio portraits and 97% of these sites have no pricing info.

Dairy Queen's Cherry Dipped Cones Are Being Discontinued

Dairy Queen is taking its Cherry Dipped Cone off the menu, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's gone forever.
