******* fast foodFollow

I kinda like retail though. Sure we get our share of idiots, but we also get our share of very nice custommers thanking you for the slightest thing you do for them. It makes it enjoyable.

Well, like you went on to say in your post, you're talking about an archaic system.

I worked fast food over ten years ago, and we had the "fancy shmancy" overhead monitors. You do not have to stop and ask the person taking the order what they wanted, you simply have to look up.

God forbid they have to actually do their job right, eh?

That's another good point.

I never undrestood not doing your job to the best of your ability. I don't care if you're flipping burgers or saving lives, it's still your job, do it right.

Let's see... 9 to 1 means that 10% of the time, they ***** up your order.

Over the last 20 years or so, I'd estimate that I ate fast food *alot* (I'm a long time bachelor, right?). Likely about 4-5 times a week in fact. Let's call it 4 times to lowball the estimate. 20 years, 52 weeks a year, 4 days a week. Do the math... 20*52*4=4160 trips to a fast food place.

In that time I've had three screwed up orders. Actually, I can only remember two of them, but for some reason I think it was three. So...

That's a whopping .072% of my orders screwed up. Contrasted to 10% of your orders screwed up. That means, that that your orders get screwed up 142 times more often then mine.


I think it's safe to say that my original statement, that by customizing your order, your order will be screwed up more often, is absolutely accurate. Wouldn't you?
