The one’s at the location I sometimes frequent are pleasant and respond very well to a customer who orders promptly, and acts in a friendly manner. I’m a firm believer in thanking folks who do their job right, costs me nothing and may improve their day.
Huh?
I stopped at a drive through restaurant a few months ago. They had a sign taped to the window that said they have a very difficult time getting people to even apply for work, and please be patient with the crew because they are all new and don’t really know the ropes yet. If you give them flack, they will walk off the job and not come back.
Fortunately her McDuck's is so non-busy she gets away with it. I never use McDuck's for anything but breakfast, but damn if the return of the steak egg and cheese bagel is perhaps the greatest fast-food breakfast ever created.

Yes. My late father used to keep a supply of $1 scratch-off lottery tickets in his car. When a drive-through attendant did his/her job well, my father would slip the attendant a lottery ticket along with the payment.
I’ve got to start doing that, too.
The complaint was people paying for an order with multiple transactions.
There isn’t a single quote in this article that exhibits proper English.
“Everyone knows that. Like, you to any place, you say,”
“I hate the people that be tryna place 3 orders.”
I have online orders and then sometimes I be forgetting something I didn’t add,
I only do that at McDonald’s cuz me and bae be using the app for points
Sorry I needed to pay cash for my order and my brother was paying his in card
I be having to go get lunch for my coworkers and I always feel so bad.
It’s even worse when its 3 separate orders cus by the time they tell me their order my drive thru is PACKED
Or when they hand you the money for the 2nd order while you’re cashing the 1st order then when you hand them change they add onto their 1st order
they sit there holding up my line cuz they’re all laughing at how awkward they are like HURRY UP,
“Sorry I needed to pay cash for my order and my brother was paying his in card,” a third stated.
“I be having to go get lunch for my coworkers and I always feel so bad. But they always give cash and that’s the easiest way to give their change,” a fourth commented.
1 and 3 are black....2 is white.
For whatever reason, I noticed most blacks could not conjugate the verb "to be". Same school. Same lessons.
They used the same card; all I was saying was maybe they wanted a separate receipt for each order. I’ve done the same thing in Walmart when buying for different people. I would have the orders separated and pay for both with separate transactions with the same card, a record for me and for the person(s) I was buying for.
Most fast food places limit you redeeming one reward or deal per online order. People get around this by placing multiple online orders.
It could be that McDonald’s processes in preparing the food makes double single orders a pain to prepare.
It’s one thing to make a double sized order at once, but it might be another thing to have to start the process over when a person orders twice when he could have ordered the whole thing at once.
It’s much like at a convenience store when the person in front of you pays for a drink and their gas and then after finding out the total, steps back to the aisle and picks up a bag of chips and a candy bar. Then, after paying for that, they count their change (slowly) and next go back for a pack of gum.
If they have any money left, they next purchase a lottery ticket. During the entire time, they are on their cell phone talking loudly to the person on the call. I’ve had people in front of me go through four or five different transactions before finally realizing they only have a few pennies remaining so they exit the store (to sighs of relief from those in line behind them).
On the instance I recall, all I wanted to do was purchase gas but the card reader at the pump was out of order so it took an extra 15 to 20 minutes to finally be able to pay for my gas and get out of the circus I had found myself in!
Who knows why they do such stuff!??
LOL, you be a gene yus
Seems like a bell curve problem from start to finish.
That’s a great idea
Not much different than what I did.
“They used the same card; all I was saying was maybe they wanted a separate receipt for each order. I’ve done the same thing in Walmart when buying for different people.

Before my mother past away, I’d do some of her shopping for her at the same time I completed my own. So, I would often have two orders at Wal-mart or Kroger. It was easier to keep up with reimbursement amounts that way, and she was a stickler for making she she reimbursed for anything I purchased for her. Of course, if checking out with a clerk rather than the self-check out, I would always let them know that I had two orders, kept the items separated, and paid with a card so (hopefully) the transactions went quickly.
We’ve had 7+ million more people come to the USA over the last 3 years. Companies shouldn’t have any problems finding workers.
Yeah, I know. It’s not realistic to ask those the come here illegally to work for food, housing, healthcare, taxes, education, etc.
I get what you’re saying after reading your entire post. But your first sentence was one I NEVER thought I’d see.
STFU drive-thru professional. You are at the zenith of you career. The customer is always right.
