Ever get an order messed up?

[Macdaddy23]

Have you ever been anywhere with an order and it gets messed up? Such as I had ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo (I despise mayo). Anyway I checked the sandwich to see if the order was correct. It wasn't. I was ticked off over that. Had to go back and get to order redone.

Another time I ordered the same thing but didn't check it and was down the road when I looked at the sandwich, I had no damn grilled chicken! I just had the bun. I go back and some woman said "He's mad" I wanted to say "Damn right I'm mad, pay the price and get a damn bun". I saw this guy in the back laughing so I had the feeling he did it. I get another sandwich but I was so pissed off I emailed corporate head quarters and went over their head. Got a free meal out of it as well.

Has this shit happened to anyone else?? I'm sure it has.

Just this morning! Went through the DD drive-thru and ordered an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese.

Got to work, opened my bag...two non-toasted onion bagels with chive cream cheese. lame.

I'm reminded of The Whole 9 Yards by your post.

We actually get our orders wrong all the time. My husband has an Onion allergy... and you'd be surprised at how often we say "No Onion" and people hear "Extra Onion".

The best one was when we went out to eat and husband ordered a burger and was very explicit with the waiter that he was allergic to onions. The waiter took forever to bring us our meal, and when he showed up was so proud of himself - when the order came up he saw that onions were on it and so he sent it back to be fixed. My husband looked at the sandwich, looked at the waiter and said very calmly, "So, um, what kind of bun is this exactly?"

The waiter, still not connecting the dots and being so proud of himself replied, "Oh they are the best onion rolls ever. We make them by hand here."

FAIL.

What annoys me is when I am ordering take away and I get home and there are items missing from my order. And of course I paid for them.

 

[Macdaddy23]

Ladies, always check the bag if you go through the drive through. Make sure you get every thing you order. If not raise hell with them about it. Even better get the meal fixed, get home and write head quarters and email about how they screwed up.

I've cussed out a lot of places I got so mad over it. Say it's McDonald's you WILL get a card in the mail for a free meal.
I knew someone that didn't like onions and got onions on the sandwich, he threw the sandwich yelling "I said no fucking onions!!!!!!!!!!" It looked like the throw to David Tyree from Eli Manning.

This was actually a running joke with my husband and I. This last spring, we would go to McDonald's in the morning to get me a cup of coffee. I was into trying the different McCafe drinks, so I would order a different one each morning...sad thing is I always got something different than what I ordered. If I ordered a cold drink, it came hot, ice lattes came as ice coffees...there is a difference!! At one point, I just told my husband to just order anything and let's see what the surprise cup of coffee of the day will be.

I SO hate it when my order gets screwed up!!!! I hate tomatoes, so when I order without tomatoes, please don't put them on my chicken sandwich. Please?!

I don't like tomatoes either but I like ketchup go figure? One of the times at the same restaurant my order was screwed up I finally went up to the front and said "You fucked up the order again, don't you ever get anything correct??" "I should make a chart on how many times you have fucked up my orders". The guy I was talking to looked like the Safety Shawn Springs of the New England Patriots and he was getting a kick out of this. He didn't know what to say after I said those words to him. He just smiled at me. I told him "If I had a dollar every time you all screwed up I would be a very rich man"

I'm allergic to shellfish so I get really picky and rude about it. I'm allergic enough that I wear the bracelety thingy when I'm traveling... I have 6 free meals at a local place because they poisoned me, the kicker is that I won't eat there anymore and they won't let me give them away to someone who'd enjoy them. I was telling them "Look, your food is good but I'll never eat there again because I almost died the last time. If I give them away, you'll get at least one new customer plus whoever they come in with!"

But anyway, yeah, my favorite local pizza place screws things up ALL the time. The good news is that most of their food is really good so unless they give me wings ( I hate buffalo wings, never order them) it's all good. At this point, I'm on the plus side of the ledger so I can't complain about them too much! We'll order one medium and get a large, or two pizzas instead of one, extra toppings come all the time... It's kind of funny.

I went to a restaurant once and I check the sandwich each time. Come to find out there was a dead spider in the sandwich. I go to the front and they grab the sandwich before I can say anything and throw it away. I write the coorporation when I get home (I love doing that sarcasm!!!!) They never replied.

An ex-girlfriend once ordered me (or so I thought) to “clean up the mess in the thorny Middle East”. Turns out what she really said was something about “Dean and Jess want me for a horny fiddle feast”.

So it was a total waste of my time to have tossed a six-pack in the Buick, driven over there, and endeavored (unsuccessfully) to broker a lasting peace.

I was able to get coffee free and McDonalds because they messed up on the price. Then again I think the girl liked me
Another girl working there (after I got my order right) was talking to some guy. She told him to shut up and asked me if I wanted to steal her way. That cracked me up even with a screwed up order. I was thinking "I could take you both in the bathroom right now"

I'm like you; I hate mayo. Why would I want extra fat and calories?? I'll tell them "no mayo," and sometimes they'll put it on there anyway.

Exactly!!! I can't stand mayo and refuse to eat it. That is why I check the sandwich each time to see if mayo is on it. If mayo is on it and I order it without which I always do I go up front and tell them "Listen, you screwed up the order I specifically ordered this sandwich with no mayo. I'm paying top dollar for this and I expect to get what I paid for not what I didn't pay for or want".

Eh, I'm more non-confrontational. Maybe I should say something, but it'll make my day easier if I don't.

Try confronting the once's working. It builds confidence my friend. You have to admit you don't want something that you paid for and didn't get.

well... you probably wouldn't believe this from reading some of the posts in this thread, but you can get your order corrected without being confrontational. I wouldn't encourage a lot of the behavior described, but there's nothing wrong with politely explaining that there's been a mistake.

Very true on that. There are some though that really don't care if they give you the correct order or not. I usually try and be as nice as I can until they act like asses to me.

 

[Macdaddy23]

Just giving a specific order and having it screwed up irks me to no avail. I like that order to be correct if I'm paying. I would anyone.

Has this shit happened to anyone else?? I'm sure it has.

1) Yes it has but I either let it go (like Local chicken restaurant forgot to give me fries with my order then promised to redeliver but never did, extra calories I could live without) or immediately go back and patiently tell them there is something missing from my order and if they would please rectify that then I would be satisfied.

2) I check my order before I leave.
3) Avoid fast food, this is not the suburbs so I should know better and have no excuse for more options.
4) Take Pilates and Yoga so I learn to live with trivial mistakes and not create rant threads.

 

[Macdaddy23]

If you don't like it don't read it. Simple as that.

I did not say that I was dissatisfied, I am just saying that you need to relax, the energy it takes to be angry is twice as much energy to be content. Thankful that you even have a fast food restaurant in your area or even FOOD. But you should also consider some more resourceful anger outlets.

 

[bellaitalliana]

Yes and it frustrates me to no end!

I am 110% anti onion in my own food, even though I am a chef and cook with them all of the time. It's just not something that I like the flavor or texture of, at all. I often say no onion and I too either get onion or extra onion like they didn't hear what I said at all.

However, being in the food service industry myself I can say with authority that some people are truly ridiculous with their special requests and the ultra rude way that they go about those requests. So I say for food service people everywhere, please be kind when you make special requests and even if they mess them up, kill them with kindness. I have seen a lot of people get even in a kitchen in a lot of various ways to customers who are thoroughly rude and over the top about their requests.

 

[Macdaddy23]

Oh, if you just ask for no mayo I really wouldn't call that special. I can't eat it. It makes me sick to taste it. I'm always nice about a screw up until the person is rude to me.

When I was in High School I used to work at a fast food restaurant. At the restaurant a majority of the staff were Chinese and English was their second language. We could never get through a shift without fucking up an order. Whenever the person was a douche about it their correction would take a longer time and chances are they may have tainted it with dropped lettuce or old hamburger patty or whatever. If they were patient and calm it was almost immediate and sometimes fresh from the grill/fryer. So keep that in mind next time your at a fast food chain and your order is messed up.

If you think we are bad you have no idea the stuff I am not typing about. I have not worked there in years and yet to this day I refuse to eat at that chain or any for that matter, except for the occasional Subways!
