Oh wow, lol. You must need a certain level of stupidity to work at places like that:P I feel the same way about fast food places. I can not count the times I have asked for GRILLED CHICKEN at some places, and I swear like 80% of the time I don't get what I asked for. Like seriously!! Your menu has like FIFTEEN FUCKING ITEMS on it! It is not that hard to make what I asked for!! Grrrrrr... :S

Or when the manager is 14 years old and you're the only person in the place standing there waiting to order, and you end up waiting like 10 mins because they're having a food fight in the back... And after that they can't get a single thing right on one order...yeah, that's bad:P I seriously want to write a huge ranty letter to McDonald's but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't even matter:P

OMG jed and i call that situation "lord of the flies" because it's full of wild teenagers. i srsly think bad training is at fault there & older managers who set a bad example & try to be "friends" with their little workers rather than fucking "manage" them.

you should write it. or even just call head office in your state. name the store & how unnacceptable it was - trust me, it'll get back to them. Macdonald's over here is all about the customer service.

I write letters about EVERYTHING that pisses me off, and have gotten a fair bit of satisfaction out of it (and free junk, too!). If you can find an email address online (preferably to the head office, not the store/location itself), name names, play up the ridiculousness that took place. It's cathartic, it encourages change in their behaviour, and you'll probably get coupons or gift cards :) I have one to write to McDonalds, in fact. >:(

that's too funny! i ALWAYS threaten to write a strongly worded letter, and have done so a number of times. it really is very cathartic!
