Is a plain hamburger that hard to make?
 

Seriously, what is so difficult about it? I'm going through the drive-thru at hardees (carl jr's or whatever for you westerners), and I order a plain hamburger. They're little screen shows "plain + no cheese". I get to the drive-thru and pay. Now, I can't really wait forever, since its lunch and the line is ungodly. I get back to work, open it up, and its got everything on it.

Seriously, is it that difficult to make a plain hamburger?

Not at all. The real difficulty comes in determining which made burger all wrapped up is the plain one and which is the loaded one. That's where they went wrong. Somewhere someone else is asking "is it so hard to put toppings on the burger?"

Oh it's hard for the majority of people that work there yes.

LOL

I knew, and I mean I was positive, that this was going to involved Hardee's.

So my wife and I go into McDonald's to order breakfast. She asks for her usual "Egg McMuffin w/ folded egg". We then proceed to wonder why there is a discussion in back about whether or not lettuce goes on an Egg McMuffin. Silly cashier rang it up wrong, and the grillperson was actually going to put lettuce on an Egg McMuffin...

At McDonalds I once had fun ordering breakfast...

Me: "Sausage McMuffin"
Drive thru box: "Sausage McMuffin with Egg?"
Me: "No, a Sausage McMuffin"
Drive thru box: "OK. A Sausage McMuffin with Egg."
Me: "No. A Sausage McMuffin"
Drive thru box: "The Sausage McMuffin comes with Egg"
Me: "I just want a Sausage McMuffin" (as I look right at the menu in front of me that says "Sausage McMuffin"
Drive thru box: "So you want a Sausage McMuffin with Egg?"
Me: "I just want a plain Sausage McMuffin"
Drive thru box: "What do you want on that?"
Me: "Nothing. Just a plain Sausage McMuffin"
Drive thru box: "No Egg?"
Me: "No. Nothing. Just a plain Sausage McMuffin!"

When I got my order and left I opened up the styrophome container and had to pull off the road due to my laughter. There inside the container sat a Sausage McMuffin, minus egg, cheese, and McMuffin! The dumbass idiot wench gave me a plain sausage patty! So apparantly you can only get a "Sausage McMuffin" with egg, or without anything else whatsoever!

Everytime my order gets screwed up at a fast food place and I get pissed I need to laugh at myself for getting angry. The people that work there are working for minimum wage for a reason, they probably are to dumb/stoned to get a better job so them screwing up my order shouldn't be all the surprising.

In the words of the immortal Joe Pesci..."they fuck you at the drive through"

I once ordered a bacon double cheeseburger with only catsup from Wendy's and I got a double hamburger with catsup, no cheese and no bacon.

I once ordered a plain hamburger from Hardee's and when I got to the drive through window they gave me Peter Angelos.

Fuckers.

ZING!

Just last week there was a guy complaining at the counter of Wendy's, that there was no bacon on his Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger. Haha!

I said diet coke dickweed.

McDonald's, Hardees, etc. don't pay minimum wage anymore. Starting pay at a McDonald's around here is between seven and eight dollars. Too dumb and too stoned to get a better job? Puh-leez. First, you can't even spell, so you shouldn't be one to talk. Secondly, I think fast-food restaurants are great places for teenagers to get their first jobs and learn about responsibility. Having A job is better than having NO job.

who the fuck eats a plain hamburger?

Yes I'd like a hamburger, hold the meat.

They should be called Beefburgers anyways, crazy Germans.

Or Soy I guess.

So they gave you a hot dog :confused: ;)

The last 2 times I tried to get a Chicken Soft Taco from Taco Bell, they either gave me beef or put some weird sauce on it.

Damn you Taco Bell! Damn you!

I had friends who worked at McDonals, they would show up in the parking lot behind the corner store like clockwork everynight at midnight with a bag full of big macs and weed. Man, i miss those guys.

I worked at McDonalds for a little over a year eleven years ago. I didn't turn out too bad.

Weed value meal?

Bite your tongue,heathen :)

Shorty, I'm sorry i messed up your order.










And masturbated in your food.

I frequently order junior cheeseburgers from Wendy's. It's on the menu, but try convincing them that it's not a junior cheeseburger deluxe and it's not a junior bacon cheeseburger.

Friend of mine back in the day always got hamburgers with ketchup only from MickeyD's.

He managed to get 2 pieces of bread with ketchup on it one day.

I agree that having a job and learning responsibility is a valuable part of growing up, however, most of the kids/people I knew growing up who worked at a fast food joint weren't very smart and 9 out of 10 of them were stoners.

oh crap, do you all even KNOWWW how much saying this screws hamburger place workers UP :confused: SERIOUSLY, this is like the WORST thing i think to ask a worker there for..and I Doo..we dont eat meat but sometimes i crave a burger, SO yeah "I'd like a number 1 but no meat o.k?" no meat? "yess no meat, please" --hear them asking whoever's next to them about it-- mamm, umm you dont want any meat on the burger? "no, no meat please" I dont think we can do that mamm.. "yes you can, I always come here and I get a burger with no meat" let me ask the manager mamm...."it's just the burger without the meat, what to ask them about" ok mam, so you just want the bun with the vegetables... "YESSS" maybe 3 times out of 10, still end up with the MEAT in the burger..so then they just want to take the meat off of it, which I then have to explain why I still cant eat it cuz itll have meat STUFF on it.. I mean come on :( and ya know it still takes them just as long if not longer to make me a burger when they dont EVEN have meat to cook for it :confused: NEVERMIND the times at Burger King asking for the veggie burger to be cooked in the microwave and NOT the grill, more manager consulting.. or PIzzas without cheese :rolleyes:

Huh?

it's hard to get burgers without meat, and pizza without cheese at restaurants ok :mad:

You can change font/color on this damn board?

Well thats all ya had to say. :D

But, dare i ask why you want those things?

Noooo, leave her be, its cute.

It may be cute but remember, she doesn't eat the meat :eek:

I could turn you into a meat-lover overnight just like that.

Rather than waiting 40 minutes for your custom-made burger, anyone ever figure out you can just order the regular hamburger and pick the the crap you don't want off?

Ever try picking off ketchup? It's fairly difficult.

Hey buddy, im paying $2.00, i want my burger the way I want it.

Sure, if you're willing to settle for that, but consider:

a) it's damned near impossible to fully remove unwanted "liquid" condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc)
b) Depending on the chain, it can be downright impossible to remove lettuce without losing any of the aforementioned condiments
c) Special orders are typically made on-demand, and rarely suffer from burger-warmer syndrome.

You also have to consider:

I. Special orders probably piss off the people working the food areas, increasing the odds of receiving a foreign substance, like spit, in your food. So you have no mayo, but instead a nice loogy. I prefer the anonymity of an average cheeseburger from the warmer.

II. If you're really that concerned about what's in your lunch, you probably shouldn't be eating at McDonald's in the first place.

pics pls thx

It's one of the reasons I tend to keep an eye on the food prep areas at fast food places.


Disagree. If I don't like lettuce, just for example, then fast food seems likely to be more popular with me than less (if you think about it from a healthier food standpoint).

I think lettuce is a neutral vegetable. It doesn't really inspire emotion in me one way or the other.

I hate pickles. If a pickle was on the burger the taste is still there even after the removal and scraping of the area around the pickle slice.

Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us...

Check the burger BEFORE you leave the drive through. :)

I ordered a hamburger no cheese at MacDee's and they gave me a bun with a piece of cheese on it. I said, "I didn't know you had grilled cheeses here." Fokers!

I'd like a cheeseburger, a large fry, and a large...orange...drink.

Speaking of fast food messing up orders. On my way home from work today, I ordered a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad from the drive-thru. They gave it to me with no croutons. I ask for Croutons, and they say that they are all out. I really like Croutons, and I'm strongly suspecting the cashier was just too lazy to go look since it was forgotten. So, I ask for a refund. She says to me in an incredulous voice, "You want a refund just because we don't have croutons?"

I reply, "Yes, I do. I don't want the salad without Croutons."

She replies, "Hold on. I think we might have some Croutons after all."

I reply, "Why did you tell me you were out of them then?"

She replies, "I just remembered we got more in."

She gave me my croutons and I left.
