im getting pissed because i know there is some incompetent fvcktard operating the drive-through. turns it took another 5 minutes or so for the guy to come to the window to deliver the food.

So my question is.... what do i do next time?

PS. They didn't give me a straw for my drink, and my fries were cold and not full. Wow, Mcdonalds, you used to be the best.

Cliff notes:
-45 minutes wait in drivethrough line with 3 people ahead
-Cars behind me so i cant back out
-Need advice on future situations

I have an observation to make...

A) You're surprised there is AN (as in only one) incompentent fvcktard working the drive thru at McD's
B) You think Mc Donald's at some point in world history was "the best"

Do you also expect turn down service at the no-tell motel when you rendezvous with your "girlfriend"?

My advice as to future culinary situations is to expand your horizons and think higher than fast food for good customer service.
 
20 minute wait for me to order would probably end up with me ordering an extra milkshake to throw through the drive thru window.................
 
Thats why you always leave a little room between the car in front of you and your car. So you can leave. I would have never sat there for 45 mins. Thats insane.

nah....that will get you jail time.

An alternative would be to turn off the gas and power on the way out. Both emergency turnoffs are easy to get to in the drive thru...............
 
I just came back from McDonalds (about an hour ago). The Drive-Thru took less than 5 minutes and the food was delish. Plus it was McChicken day.

McD's rules!
 
Seems like everyone wants to use the drive-thru now. I've started going inside to order, and about half the time I'm out of there before the last car that was in the drive-thru lane. I'll take those odds to avoid being trapped in a drive-thru lane. At least if I'm inside, I can request a freshly cooked burger and make sure I get one, and I'll never have to wait 45 minutes.
 
Cook your own meal.

Problem solved, you don't wait in line, you don't eat food that's synonymous with poo for your system, and you don't waste gas.

so i just got back from mcdonalds and i have a huge dilema. i need some advice for future reference.

there were 3 cars ahead of me in the drivethrough line, so i thought, well, alright, ill pick up a bigmac. turns out the line didnt move for 10 minutes, so im getting frustrated. meanwhile, 3 other cars pile up behind me so i am now stuck. okay so the first guy goes, and the second person spends another 6-7 minutes to make her order (in an eclipse spider, white car, nice ride). So i go to the speakerphone next and the guy goes "may i take your order?" so i tell him, and continue to wait 10 minutes without response until another guy comes up on the speaker and goes "can i take your order?"

at this point, the dude behind me is getting pissed off and cursing like mad and im getting pissed because i know there is some incompetent fvcktard operating the drive-through. turns it took another 5 minutes or so for the guy to come to the window to deliver the food.

So my question is.... what do i do next time?

PS. They didn't give me a straw for my drink, and my fries were cold and not full. Wow, Mcdonalds, you used to be the best.
