This Isn't What I Ordered...

So me and my dad are driving home from the recruiter's office and he decides to buy us both some McDonald's. We order our food, pay, wait, get our food, and drive away. Everything's great. We get home, I say goodbye to him (as he has to go back to work), open up the bag, and bite into my Number One with small fries and Coke. Ah. Happiness. Wait. Something's wrong. *ponders taste for a moment, then lifts bun* What?! NO CHEESE!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Ever been incredibly disappointed/pissed off at a restaurant's mistake and been unable to do anything about it?

Everytime my family orders an Indian or a Chinese something always goes missing. Sadly enough, it's usually the thing everyone was most looking forward to.

yeah actually last week I ordered a burger from the school cafe. We've got a touchscreen menu system and it prints out one copy for them and one for me.

I ordered a burger with;
Cheddar Cheese
Lil' Bit of Mayo (it's an option)
Lettuce
Ketchup

And instead I somehow got;
Caramelized Onions
American Cheese
BBQ sauce

I was confounded at their lack of being able to make a burger when the paper's right freaking in front of them

Almost always, but I have a problem of not saying anything about it, so I just take what they give me in fear of them spitting in my food. >_>

whats the point of this thread anyway?
Its clearly stated in the OP. Saying stuff like this doesn't make you look cool.

OT: I ordered a double cheese burger from McDonalds, only to get home and discover they had given me a fish sandwhich. Rage ensued.

Oh, you think that you had it bad?

Listen to this:


Okay, so my dad, me, and my sister went to an El Polo Loco (or however the hell you spell it) to get some soft-serve ice cream (they like it MUCH more than I do). We ordered 2 cones with chocolate sauce, and one with nothing on it. And the idiot at the mike said: 2 with chocolate and 1 with caramel. My dad said: "No, 1 with no topping." The idiot said: "Caramel?"

"No topping"

"Caramel?"

"NO TOPPING!"

"Caramel?"

"NNNNOOOOOO TTTTOOOOOPPPPIIIINNNNGGGGG."

And, I swear this is true, the next thing the idiot said was:

"We're out of no topping."

They mess up my order a lot. I can't stand vegetables or ketchup on my burgers.

Yup, this always happens to me at fast-food restaurants. I order a cheeseburger, I get a plain burger is my usual one.

To be fair, this worked in my favour once, when I ordered a cheeseburger and I got a double cheeseburger with bacon instead. I have no idea how, but I sure didn't complain.

When I was maybe 9 or so my family went to the 99 restaraunt. After dinner I ordered a small ice cream for dessert, but since we had to leave my mom asked for it in a bag. I didn't realize until we were in the car and driving away that it was literally a scoop of ice cream in a brown paper bag.

I've worked in a real burger joint before (I mean old-timey like, you know, burgers and fries handmade fresh to order) and it sounds to me like you got somebody else's order. Still, understanding why doesn't make it suck any less, does it?

I order a burger and I say no cheese and they always give me cheese even when it is written on my ticket saying no cheese.

Cool when that happens. I bought a whopper and a junior fry. I got a whopper and a junior whopper. I said to the girl who brought it to us "well, that's okay... uh, so... can I get a junior fry now...?" Mobius scarfed down the whopper junior.

Oh, and, @ TheDoctor455, that is now in my top ten funniest retard moments ever (the idiot, not you)

Ordered a Grilled-Stuf'd Burrito from Taco Bell. Got a Nachos Bell Grande.

I was amazed at the competence I had just witnessed.

Maybe people working at restaurants like me somehow?

I was making an absolutely nightmarish trip down to Colchester from Sunderland in the very North East of England (google map it, it's a pretty long way) and my mate's sat-nav was taking us the long way (which incidentally would end up taking us about 8 hours) to see one of my favourite bands, cKy.

About 5 hours into the journey, we were all feeling a bit down and fractious so we stopped at a McDonalds to get some spirit lifting cheap food. We came through the drive through, made our order and were told to park in one of the spaces to wait for our food. 20 minutes passed. 3 other cars parked next to us and drove away before one woman came out with a brown bag towards our car, much to our jubilation.

My friend turned on the engine as we began to dish out the food, only to realise we had been given completely the wrong meals. Nothing was right at all. At this point my mate Dave totally flipped his shit, climbed out of the car, walked into the restaurant and proceeded to throw the bag at the woman behind the counter.

At first he simply informed her that they gave us the wrong order, to which she persisted in saying we had been given what we ordered, at which point he screamed "I DIDN'T ORDER A FUCKING FILET O FISH!" and tossed the receipt at her. Upon reading it the woman began hurriedly apologising and offered us some free McFlurries, which we were forced to decline because we were in a rush.

We ended up getting our food which was just the thing to lift our spirits and scared the hell out of some employees. Greatest McDonalds ever.
