I love working the drive-thru shift, it is the best of times and the worst of times.
Your standing there taking an order and your either rolling your eyes because the customer doesn’t know what they want or your standing there trying not to laugh. But you also know if you’ve ever worked drive-thru that its one of the most annoying jobs ever, sometimes you just really wanna yell at a customer when they do the six things in this list. But you don’t because you want to keep your job so you just end up turning off your mic and saying to a co-worker “what the f*ck.”
These pet peeves happen ever drive-thru shift I have.
1. “Can you hold on for a second?” *silence for 5 minutes*
It's been the same menu since like FOREVER, why do you need five minutes to find out what you're going to order. It’s also worse when they get to the window and you realize it's a regular and they ordered the same f**king thing they always do.
2. “Can I get a 10-piece” but what they really said is “Can I get a McChicken?”
Maybe if you turn down your music and tell the people in the car to hush I would’ve heard McChicken and not a 10-piece.
3. “Anything else for you today” *complete silence*
Okay, I guess not.
4. If you accidentally press the wrong button, and a customer yells at you
I know you want a large Coke I just accidentally pressed medium.
5. When a customer talks so low you have to ask them to repeat their order and then they get angry and start yelling their order at you
Well why couldn’t you do that in the first place
6. When they want to add something to the order after you've stored it
If I read the order back to you to make sure it's correct and then I ask you if you want anything else that's when your suppose to add another item not after I give you your total.
