Fast Food Pet Peeves

[sass_in_the_pants]

I will say this:

I hate some fast food. My stomach will not let me eat it ever since I came home from Iraq the first time.

I can tolerate some. But it's mostly Arby's, and once in awhile Burger King, and now every blue moon, Wendy's.

I can start to eat these, but then I think my stomach knows the greese level, and reacts. Unless I am drunk, then it just wants something to make the beer shut up.

i love love love some Arby's and wendy's baked potatoes are delish but what is the deal wih giving me two damn sauce packets? I ask for extra and they give me one. one. They sell sandwiches bigger than my face and now don't want me to have an extra teaspoon of sauce? i have even offered to pay extra just give me the damn sauce!

OMG that is so funny!

I have gotten sick off of McDonnalds Big macs twice (I am stubborn lol)

I can't handle white castle.

White Castle is only a good idea when you are drunk. They have to be Bacon tho. I really think it helps with the settling process in the belly. Bacon is always a good idea.

Bacon is always a good idea.

You know, BK is the worst. Period.

But I hate the unprofessionalism. Now don't get me wrong. I know its like a bunch of teenagers and burnouts 90% of the time (with 10% actually giving a shit about thier jobs). But its like you can't ASK for good service, or they fuck with you on purpose.

Example: I go to wendy's often. I prefer them over most other fast food. I always order a spicy chicken sandwich with extra mayo, baked potato and lemonade or whatever...................

So its like every other time I go, they don't add the extra mayo....which isn't a HUGE deal....but whatever...

So I go through one time and I said POLITELY

"Could you please make sure they add the extra mayo, they forgot last time."

I get the bag, and head home. When I opened the little paper/foil hybrid wrapping, the sandwich was literally swimming in like an entire CUP of freaking mayo. There was no way that this wasn't done on purpose, and I'm thinking.....seriously....you just fuck with people's food like that? Isn't there a responsible adult person in the damn store overseeing to make sure that disgusting things like that do not happen? I mean, there was no saving it....the entire sandwich was covered. I mean they put mayo ON THE TOP of the sandwich. The grossest thing I have EVER seen. Just imagine shoving an entire spoonful of mayo right in your mouth...just looking at the thing made me want to throw up.

I know it seems petty....but thats my pet peeve with Fast Food.....that most of the people who work there do not take thier jobs seriously. I'm not saying that people should be as dedicated as an 80,000 a year job or something perhaps....but I would NEVER *and wouldn't have when I worked in fast food myself* dream of fucking up somebody's meal....its just morally wrong and disgusting.

So yeah...thats it lol

Dear President of Taco Bell:

Why do I need 20 packets of sauce for 3 crunchy tacos?

And why do you constantly put new things on the menu I like - and then get rid of them once I've established it's my favorite item?

Thank you,

Mrs. G in Michigan

Dear President of McDonalds:

I checked out the nutritional information of your double cheeseburgers recently. Admittedly, it was because I found out to my utter horror that my husband has ordered and eaten as many as six at a time.

I was even more horrified to learn that in those six double cheeseburgers, there totaled 2640 calories, 136 fat grams (65 saturated, 9 trans), 475mg cholesterol, 6900mg sodium, 205g carbohydrates, and 148 grams of protein.

HE got in trouble over this and is now banned from your drive-through.

Sincerely,

Mrs. G in Michigan.

This dude was pissed at McDonalds,LOL!!

In general...bleahh. My wife and I avoid fast food as much as possible. We have our exceptions; we took Candy to the Washington Coney Island on Van Dyke near 28 mile (gratuitous plug). Little hole-in-the-wall diner, but everything's made fresh, so you're not dealing with nearly as much in the way of preservatives, etc.

For the most part though, regarding fast food...GIGO like a motherfucker.

I went to del taco last night and it looked like a teen beauty contest lol......

All blonde teen girls working there. WTF????

This isn't a pet peeve but I noticed it was mentioned - food poisoning. That should be something we strive to avoid regardless of where we eat.

Btw - I got poisoned by BK twice at two different locations. It was real fun! Now I know when to not buy food from them - between 2 and 4:30 p.m. because I think that's when they sell off the food from lunch hour (i.e. noon hour).

Just a heads up for those of you that like BK burgers.

[CandyQuackenbush]

goddamnit.

Now I'm starting to get the BK craving....Noooooooooooooo!

[creatureofthenyte]

um, we don't have a damn Sonic.....WANT!!!!

[Reaper]

I hate nowadays how the general term of "fast" in fast food is largely stretched. Its not really fast anymore unless you want your order fucked up.

[Kit Kat P]

I used to work a drive-thru window and I was damn good at it. I was quick, literate and rarely ever was something from my window wrong and seldom was I mentally present (hell I was 15). So I get annoyed cause I know it can be done better and people just don't care. That being said I wish In-n-Out restaurants were nation wide.

[Head Wreck]

ordered a mcdonalds double cheeseburger on sunday midway on a long drive, and i noticed that they put nutritional info on the packs.

but they dont sah Calourie Fat, etc, they just have symbols here WITH NO GUIDE ANYWHERE.

i even asked a staff member what they meant and had an odd look like "WTF is this guy on about? wierdo"

[CandyQuackenbush]

Still have my BK craving.....

[Der Nister]

Just don't buy any burgers from BK between 2 and 4 p.m.

[CandyQuackenbush]

Just don't buy any burgers from BK between 2 and 4 p.m.

I never do. I either get them before the lunch rush, or slightly after *1230-1300*

Or waaaaaaaaaaaaaay after dinner time.

[Der Nister]

That's smart.

The first time I got sick from BK I didn't put too much thought into how it could've happened but the second time (and a different location to boot) I thought back and remembered that I bought my food around 1:30-2:00 p.m. and came to the conclusion that those bastards were selling me old burgers that were left over from the lunch hour.

I should have gone back the second time and puked in their lobby and said "I'm returning my BK burger".

[Hellion]

If the food leaves your body with in 15 minutes expect it was old,or prepared wrong.
