This Isn't What I Ordered...

[Ultress]

Two notable times: At an Arby's I order a beef n' cheddar and I get a regular roast beef so I go back up and say "I got a roast beef I wanted a beef n' cheddar" so they give me a new sandwich and it's a regular roast beef, so I go back up and the lady takes my sandwich and just glares at the guy making sandwiches and they finally get my order right.

The other one was like this: Went to a Mcdonalds and order the 'shroom and swiss burger with no mayo, get it , and go home bite into the burger, and found no mayo or 'shrooms.

First point, that's only two. Second point is about the bolded. Crap, that's embarassing, I use to work kitchen at Arby's. Making a regular roast beef is the easiest thing of all time, while making a beef n' cheddar is not far behind on the 'not that f***ing difficult' scale.

Yeah I did hae third one but I decided not to mention it as it;s pretty much the same as the Mcdonalds story and I forgot to change it. Just changed it

never happened to me..still..I try to avoid the fast-food chains as much as possible.

Oh! I just remembered one. This is pretty up there on the 'oh, what the hell' list.

My own work messed up my order. That's right, you heard me. I go into Arby's on one of my days off, order a turkey ranch n bacon (mm-mm) with no onions. I've been working at this place for several months at this point, and am friends with everybody, and they know it's for me, and that I don't like onions. I get to my seat with it and find onions. I go back to the kitchen and go, "dude, Chris, what the hell, man. Did they not ring up 'no onions'?" To which he responds "yeah, they did, but so what? Just take 'em off yourself."

Ugh. Ass.

After going with my girlfriend to visit her nan, we start heading back home and decide to pop into mcdonalds to get something to eat when we get home.
We go into the drive-through, order, pick it up and go home.
There i was, sitting down ready to eat. I pick up my burger, and then i realise... i'm missing the bottom part of my bun.

Not putting cheese on a burger i can understand... but the bottom part of a bun? How on earth can you miss that!

They once forgot the meat in the burger.

 

[LeonLethality]

this is why I go to A&W a little more pricy than mcdonalds but damn better quality (plus I cant get enough papa burgers with onion rings and root beer.... -runs to A&W-)

plus the only problem A&W has given me is they were once out of fries so I had to wait while they got more 5 minute wait not bad and I got a free drink of any size it was pretty cool

I ordered a Double Bacon and Cheese burger at burger king and I got given an, umm, whats their main burger called? I only ever eat the bacon and cheese.

Whopper. I think the name of the one you ordered is the double cheeseburger, with bacon added.

Love Burger King.

There's a reason I do not go to McDs for ANYTHING.

Most recently... Taco Hut (It's a Taco Bell! No, it's a Pizza hut! No... It's... it's... A TACO HUT! ...or a pizza bell? BAh!) and I got... something that came with a taco, and my little brother got something else that also came with a taco. Neither of us want lettuce, so I say "Hey, no lettuce on those Tacos."

They answer back with "Just meat and cheese?"
Awesome, they've got it right!

I get home, my Nacos bellgrande are perfect. My little brother's taco is perfect. My taco has lettuce.

Sadness. Excuse me, but I'm already getting my naturally pre-processed vegetables when I'm eating the taco, thank you very much. (Best way to get veggies is to let your dinner digest them first. =D)

Just a few weeks ago, the night before I returned to university, I went with my family and some family friends to a curry house in Walsall, UK. It was a friend's 50th birthday, and her son (a year younger than me) was about to leave for university (incidentally, the same city as me and I'll be seeing him for a rugby game this weekend).

Anyway, to celebrate we went to this curry house. I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala with pilau rice and a keema naan bread. The waiters and chef got my order wrong and gave my brother the chicken tikka while I had his duck tikka masala instead (still tasty though). I recieved the rice seperately about half an hour later by which point the curry was cold. The naan bread was brought in seperately in between the two. One friend didn't get his meal at all and was unwittingly given his wifes, they didn't realise until after he'd eaten it and she ended up with nothing. Basically there were over twenty of us and the entire thing was a fiasco, with everyone either getting the wrong meal or getting food half an hour after everyone else, and in parts. Not to mention that the entire meal was served almost an hour and a half after we ordered. In the end we managed to get a discount on the meals, but it was still a complete and utter mess...

Very common in Finland.

We have a lot of, what I assume to be, turkish people living here, for one reason or another. It's quite common for them to set up a kebab restaurant, or an export/import shop. While the customer service is usually pretty good, their finnish skills aren't.

Me and my friends once went to a place, ordered, and sat down. When the waiter came in to give us our food, none of us had really got what we ordered. No use whining, as we didn't speak turkish, and they didn't speak finnish/english/swedish.

The last night of my first year of Uni, before everyone went home, we had a big gathering of all the guys, went to the movies, then bowling, then we went to a McDonalds at 11:45pm, it closed at midnight. We roll up to the drive-through window and were all exceedingly hungry, so we order 2 meals each, that's about 30 meals in total. We were waiting in our cars for about 20 minutes (not bad time considering they were making them fresh, we watched) and finally they come out carrying the entire order in a big cardboard box. After munching our meals (we ate them in the carpark) I go to put the big-ass cardboard box in the bin, and notice a note in the bottom, pull it out, and it reads "We wanted to go home you c*nts!"

Since they had to stay past closing to make the meals it was kinda justified, we laughed our asses off at that.

They mixed up my pizza sub order at subway with a meatball marinaria.

Yeah, I closed a lot at Arby's, and there is nothing worse in all the world than getting stuff halfway done then getting a huge order to make at the last minute.

Yeah, we really hate that. But, at the same time, we understand that people get hungry when they stay out late. Still sucks, though.

How exactly can they get your order wrong at Subway? you stand there while they make it. lol (I worked at subway for almost 2 years)

OT: I once ordered a burger from Jack In The Box plain and dry with just cheese, after about 10 minutes the burger came out fully loaded ... no cheese.

 

[IcyEvils]

You know those little herbs they put into your pizza, just underneath the cheese but above the sauce? I despise the taste of them. Any time I receive a pizza I have to scrape them off the cheese layer

I know someone that for some reason if someone would go to Wendy's none of her stuff would be in there.

 

[magnuslion]

I do not usually get too upset by this. its a shitty job and they don't pay worth a crap. usually if you get the wrong item, its not the guy in the kitchen, its the one up front bagging stuff. I save my ire for things that actually matter. If you let every little thing like this piss you off, you'll die at 30 from a heart attack.

 

[mikecoulter]

Mcdonalds got my McFlurry order wrong, 3 caramels and 2 smarties instead of 2 caramels and 3 smarties, so they gave us 2 more smarties for free and left us with the others. I loved that guy.

I was in a Friendly's once, down the block from my house. I ordered a grilled cheese and fries, my mother ordered some chicken sandwich thing. We waited 35 min in an almost empty restaurant (we were talking about things so at least it didn't seem that long) and when the food finally came mine was just cold, but my mothers chicken was literally frozen, like so cold it was hard as a brick. We cancelled the order, and they gave us free ice cream.

I would have demanded a full discount and replacement with quality food to match the order. They should give you that, especially based on serving you raw meat, which is potentially deadly. You could get the ice cream on top of all that if you're lucky, but the refund and replacement are (or should be) gauranteed.

We didn't pay for anythin anyway. We just went home, ordered a pizza and had the ice cream for dessert.
