LET ME HAVE THIS
Not acusdomed to drive throughs. How would the guy get the karens receipt?
By paying for it at the first window. He’s in front of her. He gets to pay, says “I’m paying for me and car behind me. I need both receipts please”
Goes to second window for pickup. Shows both receipts, gets given both orders.
Leaves.
And only McDonalds wins.
Ooooh. Thanks for explaining :)
I wish i had fuck you level of money.where i can afford to do things like this
Is that not like only a few $? And that only happens like once in a live time to begin with?
McDonald’s doesn’t provide receipts at the first window, they provide them at the second along with your food.
They don’t even have a receipt printer at the first window.
I’ve definitely gotten receipts from either window I’m pretty sure. Hell sometimes you pay and receive at the same window and one window isn’t even being used.
The McDonalds near my house works as I’ve written. I hand them a card, they ask if I want a receipt, they hand me back my card and the receipt.
You physically give them your card?!
Yes? One of the biggest benefits of a credit card is the charge back option for fraud. (Not pro credit card… Just pointing out this feature)
Yes. It’s how it works with most restaurants here as well. Hand it to them, they leave and return with the thing to sign and the card. Or in the case of drive throughs, the card and the receipt.
It’s weird to hear for a lot of us Europeans because most people here don’t use credit cards (so you’re out of your own money if fraud happens) and also all cards have been chip and pin for a few decades now, we don’t do this signing thing
Most cards here have the chip, I think. You mean how to put the card next to a reader and it goes beep, yeah? Those are available, but for some reason restaurants and drive through food places just…don’t do that? The only place I think that uses the tap part is something like Red Robin, a fast casual burger place. They have machines on the table you can tap. But for the most part you hand the card and the check/slip to the server, they disappear, return with a thing to sign and your card. But from my understanding it’s pretty easy to do chargebacks on the card or the like if someone were to charge extra or the like. But part of the reason for handing you something to sign is because you also can put the tip on there, being in the USA.
I was driving back from Atlanta a few years ago and stopped into a chicfila drivethru to grab some lunch on the go. I didn’t realize how backed up they were until i was already stuck in line and had no way to get out. There were 2 parking lot entrances merging into 1 drive-thru lane, the guy in front of me let a car from the other lane go in, then he went, so I figured the understanding was zipper merging and just taking basic turns so I let the other car go, then I went. When I got to the person to give me order she said “The guy in front of you has already paid for your meal for letting them go in front of you.”
When basic courtesy is so rare it needs to be rewarded.
I had a run in in the drive thru a couple years back. I pulled into one of the two lanes at McD, and another car went through the second lane. I wait my turn, and then try to pull forward, but the person in the other car was riding up on the bumper of the person ahead of them, like, clearly intentionally making sure there was no room for me to take my turn.
So I roll down my window and call out “Hey, they’re gonna get our orders mixed up” and before I’d even finished my sentence the driver GOES BALLISTIC on me. Just screaming “oh my God, really? Really?? Over a burger? Really?? Really? Really??” And I just rolled my window back up. The person drove forward just far enough to keep me from moving ahead, but not far enough to get to the first window to pay. They waited. Waited until the line cleared up. Then they gunned it past the pay window and straight to the food window.
I pulled up to the pay window, rolled mine down and loudly declared “Yeah, could I get my receipt too? I think this person ahead of my is trying to take my food!”
At which point the driver ahead of me peeled out of the drive thru without having received any food.
Window person said that such a tactic had been done a few other times that month by other people.
Would have been hilarious if they slid into a curb while peeling out and got stuck because their wheel got fucked up.
McD is the kind of place where they would say “Tough shit, re-order” as well. That’s why I stopped going like a decade ago.
Sell car, buy food
In Soviet US, door dashes you.
Saw this a few months ago but it was from a woman. Congrats on the transition!
And the lady order?
55 BURGERS 55 FRIES 55 TACOS 55 PIES 55 COKES 100 TATER TOTS 100 PIZZA 100 TENDERS 100 MEATBALLS 100 COFFEES 55 WINGS 55 SHAKES 55 PANCAKES 55 PASTAS 55 PASTAS AND 155 TATERS
And 100% reason to remember the name
Wow, I haven’t heard that song in a long time… thanks for the ear worm…
Nah, it was
I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
a cheeseburger hold the cheese, a hamburger add cheese, a Big Mac with no onion tomato lettuce or special sauce, a large coke, no ice, a small coke with extra ice, 7 large fries with no salt
This definitely happened.
I worked a drive-through for long enough to believe it.
Same. Every day was like a lengthy masterclass in infinite fresh flavors of assholery and Karen-hood. As soon as you think you’ve plumbed the shadowy depths of the human condition, the floor comes out from under you. Then, all of a sudden, you’re gazing straight into the maw of a clapped out Chevy Trailblazer where there used to be a drive thru window, and the driver is now prancing around nude, ranting about dipping sauces and firing a 12-gauge into the ceiling tiles.
I’d almost put money on the attendant asked the guy to wait a moment, then she honked because she had to wait in line for an extra 14.7 seconds…but when it was her turn to order she stared at the menu for 2 minutes, then ordered for more people who can fit into her car.
The same type of person who will complain if someone is looking at something she wants, but then will park her cart in the middle of the aisle and stand there for 4 straight minutes.
At my Walmart, everyone tends to be so polite, Ive unintentionally left my cart blocking the aisle until I realize why someone is standing there holding a basket. I kind of wish more people would be like “Oi! Move it!”
But why not just move it yourself? I mean the person waiting? I am not going to wait for an inanimate object that someone left in the way for various reasons.
McDonald’s doesn’t provide a receipt at the first window, they provide it at the second along with your food.
That’s not true at the McDonalds I’ve been to. They always ask me at the first window if I would like a receipt.
Bro ended up with Big Smoke’s order
The last time i went through a drive thru was many years ago.
S’nice
If this is true that’s incredible
But also you should have an idea what you want before you go through the drive through. That’s common curtsy.
Dude I eat fast food like twice a year. I have no idea what I want when I roll up. The menus change often as well.
That’s common curtsy.
I think you mean “courtesy”
Cutesy
Are you srsly flirting with me rn?? While I’m trying to read the new taco bell combos?! Omg 😳
That’s fine, but there are people don’t think about it until they get to the front, even inside.
And for the record I think drive through should be abolished. They’re a waste of space.
Often it’s actually quicker just to go inside.
When I was working fast food, during rush they prioritized the drive-thru orders over the indoor customers. Drive time was tracked and needed minimized, people waiting inside were presumably expected to be more patient.
It’s been a few decades, but I still see cars slide through a lot faster than our orders when we go in.
Yeah, but only a couple cars can have orders placed at most, so your wait time is the sum of all cars in front of you.
That’s changed now a bit, there are multi lines and they ask you to pull over and wait. But still.
But also you should have an idea what you want before you go through the drive through.
They have a menu for a reason. You don’t get to act entitled to other people’s ability to look at a menu at the restaurant to decide what they want – nor do you forfeit yours – just because you decided not to leave your stupid car to get your food. “Oh, gee, I’m wasting gas waiting for them to order.” Then go inside or order ahead.
Eating random extra garbage for what? She just goes around ordering again.
You could give the extra food to someone who needs it and wasn’t being a hugely entitled bitch.
The reason would be that the rudely impatient person has to wait in line again. Unfortunately the punishment will be lost on them, and they’ll take it out on the employees that don’t get paid a living wage.
This is some god-tier trolling
Americans are so car-brained that “I was at McDonalds” means “I was in the drive-thru line outside McDonalds”
“I hope they see me in the drive through lane!”
No that’s just basic context clues. He said the lady honked at him so it can be inferred that he is in the drive thru.
Also in the US, so many fast-food places have actively dismantled large parts of their dining areas since the Pandemic so they can cut cost and staff fewer people. The food is also almost as expensive as many restaurants now, so literally the only appeal to these places anymore is that they’re faster.
This isn’t because we’re unfortunately car-centric, it’s because toxic corporations have made eating inside mostly inconvenient
Yes, you have to context switch once that part comes in after the initial context was “I was just at McDonalds”.
So you’re upset that the bit that gives you context doesn’t explicitly say “in the drive through”? Do you read at a second grade level?
Are you American?
Yep. And I’m sure you have some implications about my intelligence as a result of being an American but let me just go ahead and jump right out there and tell you, I’m not the one complaining about how hard it is to read plain english.
I’m not saying it’s hard to read plain English. I’m saying that when an American says “I was at McDonalds” apparently he means “I was in the McDonalds Drive Thru” because Americans are car-brained.
What I’m telling you, in plain english, which you seem to be having trouble understanding even now, is that reading at a second grade level is when you start to learn about context clues in writing like someone honking at you in line at a fastfood restaurant, is the indicator that you are in the drive thru. It isn’t implied by being in line at the fast food place. It’s implied by the additional context of being honked at.
Do you carry around an air horn to honk it at people in restaurants?
No, which is why it was weird to read about a lady honking at jarrett when he was “at McDonalds”.
Their revenge on the woman was to pay for their own food
Their revenge is delaying her even longer because they’d have to put in and make the order again.
Probably could just order at the receiving window after explaining the situation
Now that I think about it, you wouldn’t even have to explain much since they’d most likely know you told them you’ll pay for her order
It’s still an additional delay for someone already upset that OP was taking too long to order.
I think it’s the perfect consequence for being an ass in the drive through.
It just seems like you’d be paying for two meals and slowing yourself down even further without much payoff, since the other person can quickly resolve the situation anyway. Might as well just slowed down ordering in the first place, that way you wouldn’t have had to pay for a second order
And hers? They took both… making her need to order all over again after being told the person in front paid. So, she likely got excited for free food then was even more pissed when said food was neither free nor available at the second window…
I mean it wasted a bit of time on both side but she could probably just order at the receiving window, since the workers would know the situation already
Sounded like she was in more of a rush than he was and even if it did have an easy solution, the type that gets pissed off at a slight delay from a person being ahead of them in a drive thru is likely going to get pissed off every time she thinks of it.
And even if the workers understood what was happening, I’d say it was a coin toss whether they prepared to help her vs just wanted to enjoy the guy’s trolling.
Though there’s a decent chance that the person on cash and the person handing out the food didn’t stop to talk to each other to figure out what was going on and that it took more minutes just to understand what was happening when she got to the front of the line.
I mean he did have to explain to someone he was paying for the other person’s order so someone there was aware
