I am also going to take the rest of your criticism under strong advisement. God knows, everyone on the Internet is right about everything.

2 separate instances, same restaurant, 5 days apart.

Normally, I avoid McDonald’s drive through because 99 times out of 100 they f*** up my order somehow. However, I was at a friend’s house one Sunday afternoon and she offered to go to McDonald’s and get food for everyone. So, I said, “Okay, here’s what I want, and because I’ve had bad luck at McD’s drive through, here’s exactly how to phrase it. — #3 plain, large size, Dr Pepper – NO ice, to drink, and extra ketchup packets for the fries.” For those of you unfamiliar with the McDonald’s meals, a #3 is a Double Quarter Pounder with cheese. I don’t want the ketchup, mustard, pickles and onions that would normally be on there, so “plain” is, just that — two 1/4 pound hamburger patties, two slices of cheese on a sesame seed bun. Now I have had to help train new employees (as a customer) that if the “title” of the sandwich includes cheese, that “plain” also equals “cheese only” and doesn’t mean to leave off the cheese as well. But that’s another story… What my friend came back with is a Double Quarter-pounder with cheese and ketchup, there were NO ketchup packets for my fries and the drink was typical McD’s fashion with the cup filled with ice first and the drink dispensed in afterwords. So, I take the order back to the restaurant and ask to speak with a manager. She fixes the order and hands me a card for free food (which I’m almost ashamed to admit that I didn’t look at until much later – because the card was for a free breakfast sandwich, and the order they f’d up was a lunch order). However, the order was made right, and I went on with my life. ….

The following Friday I was heading home, and a little pressed for time, so against my better judgment, I decided to chance going through the drive through at my local McDonald’s. I order the same thing as last time, in the same way that I told my friend to on Sunday. I get to the window, and the drink she hands me has no ice… a good start. And before I leave the parking lot, I glanced in the bag and saw plenty of ketchup packets for my fries and the special order slip on my burger box. So I drive on home. I get home and open the burger box (and, yes it was a “double quarter-pounder” box) the grill slip was correct and said “Dbl Qtr – Plain”, but what was inside the box was a SINGLE quarter pounder with cheese only. For those of you who are unaware, there *is* a distinct price difference between a single quarter pounder and a double quarter pounder. So, I get in my car and take the order back to the restaurant, and ask to see a manager. The same manager as last time sees me and says “Did they mess it up again?” I explain that while yes, my order was messed up again, it was messed up in an entirely different way this time. So, the manager goes into the back where the register for the drive through is located. Brings back cash in the amount of the meal, and fixes my order.

So, in summary, Joe Pesci was right in “Lethal Weapon 2″ … “They F*** you at the drive-thru!”
