I've pretty much gotten away from my prepared food coming through a window. At least they're getting $15 an hour for their efforts.

I can’t make sense out of this.

I go to McDonald’s much more than I did in the past, due to my health. At McDonald’s, unlike mom and pops or ethnic food, they list out their ingredients, so I can then decide what I should eat, as I keep to low amounts of carbs.

The closest McDonald’s to me can’t get your order right, even if you go in to order it. The only thing they make that I like is their breakfast sandwiches, and they used the lockdown to get rid of their all-day breakfast. I’m 75, don’t go to bed at 8 p.m. like most old farts. I stay up until 4 or 5 a.m., so the chances that I’ll be up before they stop serving breakfast at 10:30 a.m. is slim to none. I don’t set my alarm clock unless I’m traveling somewhere or I’m having surgery. I’ll make my own breakfast and breakfast sandwiches rather than give McDonald’s my business.

Two orders for perhaps two different people and they want a receipt for each order.

Buying at a fast food place costs as much as a real sit down restaurant.

Bottom line: Most people in direct sales to the public like to complain ‘Nobody Knows The Trouble Ahh Sees!”

Sort of like when I served in the Navy. Everybody has a top 10 biggest complaints about their job, their pay grade, their boss or their co-workers.

When your job is shoving food through a window, your time
belongs to your boss. Don't think. Just do what he wants.

I tend to give the workers at McDonald’s (and the like) a lot of leeway. They could be hanging out on a street corner, doing who knows what. But instead they are in working away in a hot room, trying to honestly earn a few dollars.

Sure, some of them are incompetent. And some of them just don’t care. No matter. I respect honest work, even if it is sometimes imperfect.

As a side note, I would not have said that back in the 1970s. But the work ethic has changed drastically since then. And so today I grade on a curve.

“...people that be tryna...”

“...sometimes I be forgetting...”

“...me and bae be using the app...”

“...I be having to go get lunch...”

That wording tells me all I need to know....

Post a drive-through policy: “one order per car - if you want a second separate order, go back to the end of the line”.

Corporate probably would veto that, but it would put an end to pinheads clogging up the drive-through.

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,

“I only do that at McDonald’s cuz me and bae be using the app for points,” a second revealed.

“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.

Most fast food places limit you redeeming one reward or deal per online order. People get around this by placing multiple online orders.

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!??

Seems like a bell curve problem from start to finish.

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.

Each swipe of a credit/debit card costs the merchant processing fees. Other than that, the language used was too mind-boggling to waste time on deciphering.
