I've finally given up on fast food

[Proprioceptive]

So over the the past few years I've been trying to convince myself never to never eat at fast food joints again... and I think I've finally hit my breaking point.

I went to my local Wendys last night to get a small fry and a double stack. I ordered, paid, and got my order. I pulled out, stopped for gas, and checked my food and noticed it was a double stack without cheese. Now, there wasn't anyone else at that Wendys so they couldn't have "mixed up" my order or anything... so I drove back and told them the screw up and the lady on the intercom gets all sassy with me and says, "Well, you told me you didn't want cheese, but if you really want it with cheese, we'll make you another one." I was going to just leave at that point, but the manager shows up at the window and apologizes for the incident and offers the burger for free. No problem, I think. So I get the new burger and I'm about to pull out when I stop to double check and notice that it has NO CHEESE. At this point I'm just plain furious and pull back around to let them know they screwed it up again, and the voice on the intercom begins with "ugghh... you again?" I politely told her what the problem was and that I'd like to talk to the manager. I pull up to the first window and I can hear the manager yelling at this girl and watch her storm out the door to her car with her jacket and flip me the bird. The manager then apologizes profusely to me and re-makes my burger. I don't know why I didn't check it again (probably because I figured you can't screw this up three times... and it was free anyways), but I drove home and sure enough, no cheese.

I swear, I've had it up to here with dealing with the half-wits who work at these places. I told my wife we can just make our own burgers at home. I'm done with fast food.


CLIFFS:
-Went to Wendys last night
-They screwed up my order THREE times
-Manager is stupid and girl taking my order was a bitch
-Never eating fast food again

Wendy's Spicy Chicken will be calling you back. You cannot resist its spicy chicken goodness.

So because ONE store out of 10 million had mediocre service you just wont eat conveniently ever again?

I dont think the problem is with fast food. I think its with you. And the spicy chicken withdrawl with eventually kill you anyways.
In fact, thanks for helping me decide on lunch.

I've had many, MANY, issues with fast food joints around this place. I live in a college town, so I'm surrounded by bad drivers and employees who just don't give a damn. Maybe when I move I'll give it a try again, but seriously, enough is enough.

Wendy's spicy chicken, with cheese, no bun, is great. Get it with the side caesar salad and a frosty. Then dump black pepper over everything but the frosty. Quite tasty and fairly healthy, except the frosty.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

like we give a fuck what you eat...

 

[Adrenaline]

This is one of those incidents when I would be with a friend of mine and he would look at me and say:

"This is why the people here will never be called Doctor or anything remotely close."

You are not alone in your anger towards incidents like this.

 

[nerp]

You'll live longer, too. And you'll actually be eating food.

I don't know what the big deal is...why so much hate for the cheese!

That's a real wtf story. Unbelievable after three tries they couldn't get the cheese on.
Makes me wonder if the girl was doing it intentionally.

btw my local Wendys is next door to a McDonalds and the Wendys has a great sign to the effect:

Fresh beef burgers here.
Frozen burgers next door.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

I can't believe people actually buy that to begin with. Stopping by at night and picking up a bucket of seasoned grease that in one meal contains probably close to 2000 calories! WTF! Then going to bed later without having burned it off. That's a recipe for being a lard ass. If you're going to eat that shit do it maybe 12 times a year at the most. Definitely make that yourself. You can use lean beef with fresh veggies. Whole wheat buns. It would blow that nasty shit out of the water.Did I mention how f'ing nasty fast food is?

Pretty sure the girl at the window doesn't cook the burger. And unless the manager was in on it, that wouldn't explain the 3rd time.

:biggrin:

 

[KillerCharlie]

The food is cheap because the labor is cheap. You get what you pay for.

 

[meltdown75]

shens, you'll eat fast food again within a week

 

[Rezag3000]

OP, you let the fact that they didn't put cheese on your sandwich bother you?

There are a lot bigger things in life than cheese-less hamburgers

I think its more a commentary on our times.

Some of us are weight lifters who are trying to bulk so that we can be strong. For this purpose, fast food fits the bill. We are not....lard asses......

Everyone, repeat after me: fast food is not bad

eating things in excess IS bad
a lack of physical activity IS bad

 

[TheWart]

Seems like a pretty good deal to me - you get 3 hamburgers for the price of 1 and can take them all home and put cheese on them there haha

 

[redelcamino]

Here is famous quote from Lethal Weapon 2 about drive thrus...

They FUCK YOU at the drive-thru, okay? They FUCK YOU at the drive-thru! They know you're gonna be miles away before you find out you got fucked! They know you're not gonna turn around and go back, they don't care. So who gets fucked? Ol' Leo Getz! Okay, sure! I don't give a fuck! I'm not eating this tuna, okay?

If you get huge on McDonalds, let me know. Bulking on fast food is funny

More like a commentary on someone who doesn't think if they spend their own money on something that they should get what they ordered and reasonably expect competence on the other end.

This is a joke right? Quality of the food that you eat is very important for an athlete/weight lifter. High amounts of sodium and fat with low quality of ingredients is not good for anyone.
