Thread: So what do you think about this????

I work at a McDonald's and I find it irritating when people want their burgers well done, their fries with out salt, and their cokes with out ice. It takes time and backs up everyone else's order behind the "special order" ....

So..... I think they should go to Denny's or a "real" restaurant if they want something special done to their food, especially if you need special food restrictions for your health... why are you eating fast food anyway????

And its also "funny" when people order big macs, double quarters, fish sandwiches and what not, WITH DIET SODA!!

So what the L do you think about this????

Maybe this belongs in Vent/Whine... Feel free to move it, I am just basically asking a question...

As long as a service is offered it should be a service and if that means cooking their burger till it is well done or no ice in their coke then so be it. I am sure we all go places and want something different than the norm and it backs up others, but that is life. As long as you work with the public then expect it or find another job.

I am one of "those" people I hate ketchup on my burger, my DD hates onions, so we always have a special order, PLUS our order is always HOT & fresh...and I want McDonalds, not Dennys at the time

I couldn't agree more with tsquared. I'm a picky eater, so are my kids. If I don't like onions on my burgers, then does that mean I should stop eating everywhere that puts them on there??? I'm supposed to be accomodating so the line can move up 30 seconds faster? I mean...WTF? I can understand how it would be irritating from your point of view, but give me a break.

And yes, I am one of those cars that will "back up" the line. My daughter will only eat her hamburgers plain with pickles. My husband doesn't like onions. Depending on where I go, I don't like onions or lettuce. If I order tea, I order it without ice...otherwise I don't drink it fast enough and it's watered down by the time I get 1/4 of the way through it. It's a waste.

As for people ordering diet coke with their orders, what does it matter? Some people honestly prefer the taste of diet over regular. Heck, I don't let my kids drink regular coke, so they always ask me for diet when we go to fast food places. I'm sure it looks odd requesting diet coke with a kids meal, but I'll do what I have to do. It's really nice to know that I have people working at McDonald's passing judgement on ME based solely on what I eat.

onions and mustard only on the burger and coke no ice - not only will the burger be edible but I know it hasn't sat under a warmer but fresh and I get more coke in my cup and it isn't watered down. thanks for the no salt idea, now my fries will be fresh too, lol

I like my fries salted If someone has a special order there is no reason why it should "back up" the line. All you have to do is ask them to wait to the side and wait on the next person. Why should people with dietary restrictions be limited to where they eat? Also, maybe someone is diabetic and can't drink regular soda? My sister is diabetic and so is my roommate so they always order diet coke.

I also learned the trick about "special" ordering food at fast food places...especially when you know they have stockpiled the food for rush hours. Besides, I do not like pickles or lettuce on my sandwich. As for requesting a burger to be well done, shouldn't the burgers at McD's already be well done? If someone is like my roommate, the slightest bit of pink in his meat makes him sick and besides that, there are serious health issues associated with undercooked meat. As thin as the patties are on burgers at a fast food place, if they aren't well done then they haven't been on the grill long enough to even get warm.

People want what they want when they want. Usually they want no ice so the drink won't get watery. They want no salt usually because they want their fries fresh (I've seen that trick before ...c'mon people you know who you are!! )

I used to work fast food and that is one of the signs that you need to get out. When you start taking food orders personal, or judging people by their food order, then you need to get out and get out fast.

Y'all are great...

LMAO!!

Also just FYI McDonald's (as most fast food now) makes their food "to order", which means we make it as the order comes up, so its ALWAYS fresh...







P.s.
I was just stirring the pot...

Every McD's I have been too has the food stockpiled at "rush" hours. It is nice to know there is ONE in the country that makes their food to "order"
