For Taco Bell I never get the wrong order, but I do find them to have really horrible consistency. I'm not even talking about the difference in a specific item from one store to another, just how much one item will vary each time I order it. It feels like a gamble every time I go now. I don't have this problem nearly as much at any other fast food place. The sizes, amount of filling, proportions of each filling, etc are so inconsistent. This isn't specific to one location either, at least in my experience.

Taco Bell used to be my favorite, and really only fast food place I would go. But I have encountered too many inedible burritos (waay too much sour cream or cheese) and now only go once every month or few months.

Can someone from NFLGaf explain this one for me?

I'm sure it's been explained, but they've completely killed the joke by posting it in every food-related topic. Just irritating at this point honestly because they are veryyyyy rarely funny.

Only time I've had my order mixed up is when I went to Roberto's Mexican Food and ordered a chicken quesadilla, and they gave me one with just cheese.

Never had any trouble at KFC but Taco Bell accuracy is always awful for me.

NO. SOUR. CREAM.

End up wth a literal mountain of sour cream on everything.

There's a local Mexican place that's really, really amazing. Set up cafeteria style kind of, you go up the counter and order, sit, then pick up your food at the counter when it's ready. Really the best tasting grilled chicken I've ever had. Sadly I never go there anymore because NOT ONCE had the place gotten my order correct with 100% accuracy.

Burger King is the king(hur hur) of this.

Always putting fucking pickles on my sandwich. I hate pickles to the point where I can't even just take them off, the nasty juice just gets into everything and taints it all.

Yup. Sour Cream is another one they put on food with a mop.

KFC ALWAYS fucks my shit up. ALWAYS.

I never pull off until I have confirmed that every single item is in the bag.

Closer towards the time when I left the country, my closest and most-frequanted Taco Bell was getting better. For the longest time though they would fuck up my order. I had probably a 75% chance that I would get tomatoes on my items, after politely telling them "And no tomatoes on anything, please." Their tomatoes are so watery and gross; I can't stand them.

Local McDo never gives me straws. Cookout has always done me proper. Burger King isn't that bad but usually does not have something that I want at that time. It's always "Oh sorry, we are out of that at the moment." And I don't frequent KFC enough to remember if they dick me over that much. Sonic has always done a good job. Wendy's forgets something every now and then. Checkers hasn't ever missed part of my order or screwed it up in any way. A couple times they have been light on the frys though. And CFA has god-tier customer service so I don't really ever worry about them forgetting something.

Damn, I wish I went to your Taco Bell. I'll eat a Burrito Supreme and be thinking 'Fuckers dicked me outta sour cream again?' down to the last bite and then find that the last bite had a small dollop of sour cream in it. Pisses me off, especially when I devour a Burrito Supreme in about 3 or so bites (due to my never-ending quest for maximum flavor) and it not have one of the key ingredients in it.

[Man God]

Back in the day the Wendy's near my highschool always screwed up my order every time and it was always in my favor with a ton of extra shit or stuff not tallied correctly.

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

I once ordered a burger combo or whatever from Sonic and I got a dozen corn dogs. Otherwise nowhere specifically has fucked an order up frequently or that badly.

Went to Burger King to try the sliders once, the ones you got in a six-pack

Got home, open the lid, all of the top buns are missing

we had a good laugh with the guy at the drive through when we took that one back :lol

My friend (who speaks very clearly and loud) at Subway a while ago:

Friend: I'd like a meatball on Italian herbs and cheese.

Subway Employee: What was that?

Friend: A meatball on Italian herbs and cheese.

Subway Employee:...*looks at other Subway Employee* I can't help him. *walks away*

I died right there in the line.

 

[eternaLightness]

I would say Wendy's followed McDonalds will often mess up my orders. Wendy's especially, which is why i rarely go there anymore.

 

[Kangi]

Taco Bell never messes up my order, though they always give me enough sauce to coat a building. Burger King does; don't go there much anyway. Wouldn't be able to say about KFC, since I have a far superior Zaxby's nearby.

 

[youngwerther]

I work kitchen in a fast food joint and we usually go for days without fucking up an order.

However, when we do fuck it up, it's usually because the cashier didn't ring it up correctly.
Either
A) they don't work kitchen so they don't get the lingo and how to properly ring it up so that we know exactly how to make it or
B) if it's through the drive they didn't hear it clearly


Sometimes you will get people who put the absolute bare minimum amount of effort into ordering. Like I can just hear them in the headset, sitting in their car seat, nearly comatose, eyes rolled back, slurring every word, and ordering in the most illogical manner possible. Their order usually gets fucked up. Enunciate people.

Also, orders usually get fucked up when you have new people or people who aren't used to working in the kitchen.
Believe it or not, things get pretty stressful when you have 10-15 orders on your screen, you are trying to make 5 of them at the same time in under 30 seconds just to keep up, and you have several people screaming at you.

McDonalds, no one fucks my orders up more than them.

 

[Log4Girlz]

McDonald's: "Would you like any sauce with that?"
Me: "Yes, sweet and sour sauce pls"

*Looks in bag when he gets home...no fucking sauce*


FUCK MAN YOU EVEN ASKED ME WHAT SAUCE I WANTED. YOU WENT OUT OF YOUR WAY TO ASK, JUST TO NOT PUT IT IN MY BAG.

This has happened time and time and time again and NUMEROUS McD's. FUCK YOU RONALD.

 

[Nevasleep]

McDonald's: "Would you like any sauce with that?"
Me: "Yes, sweet and sour sauce pls"

*Looks in bag when he gets home...no fucking sauce*

Haha this always happened when we asked for sauce at the first window/ordering.
Now we just ask as they hand us the food at the last window.

I used to have a lot of problems with the Taco Bell in Melbourne, FL. I don't eat red meat, so I would always order chicken burritos. 1/3 of the time I would get home and find that they gave me a beef one instead. Ever since that I check everything before I leave the store. The other Taco Bells that I have been to have been OK. You just have to get into the habit of checking everything at fast food places. I never leave them anymore without opening everything up and making sure it is right.

 

[MIMIC]

Just came back from KFC. I NEVER pull off until I have verified that they got my order right. NEVER.

I ordered:

-10 hot wings
-1 biscuit
-1 original leg, 1 grilled thigh
-1 small mash and 1 small mac & cheese

What I got:

-17 hot wings (LMAO)
-mashed potatoes and mac & cheese were missing

I didn't notice the extra 7 until I got home. I originally looked in the bag and said, "Yeah...that looks like 10. Maybe 11 or 12." lol

 

[Haly]

To this day, the amount of fast food orders I've had "messed up" could be counted on one hand. I have no idea what kind of places you guys go to.

 

[Princess Viola]

I remember one time McDonald's gave me 20 Chicken McNuggets with my Big Mac, even though I had ordered a Big Mac and 6 McNuggets.

I didn't complain.
