1) In the five years I worked at Comcast, the one at the mall never got an order right. Seriously, like once I went through and asked for the dollar menu nuggets and nothing else and I got a potato. Granted, I didn't go a lot. but still.
McDonalds had a thing for a while where if they didn't get your order right, and within a minute, you got some free food (I forget whether it was the whole order, or just a free cheeseburger). they had a countdown clock by the pick-up window, it was quite exciting.
My wife and I used to go through one drive through* quite frequently with a very specific order.
1 cheeseburger, no onions.
1 cheeseburger, no onions, extra pickles
1 regular fries.

the cheeseburger specifics messed them up every single time. We ate for free for months.
One time they asked us to pull up into the waiting area (which was never done during this program, as that was admitting defeat), and came out a few minutes later with a bag of 6 cheeseburgers in various combinations of toppings. They just said - "we just... we just don't know"

First time i went inside to get the correct order. Second time i looked in the bag immediately at pickup window and they told me to park at the pickup spot. Not ideal when im in the process of chauffeuring my kids to hockey/gymnastics late afternoon on Wednesdays :ohwell:

My oldest doesn't like cheese, or at least "processed cheese food slices" so she always wants a double hamburger. Most places only offer a double cheeseburger, so she orders it no cheese.

Guess how many times they've gotten that right?



It's weird, when I lived in Maryland Wendy's was abysmal. Just flat out awful. But since their corp HQ is here is Columbus and apparently the big wigs like to just show up, they are all excellent. Like kid walking around offering to get you refills kind of excellent.

Our local news reported it as a gas line explosion. Any more details?

Inlaws felt it, windows shook. Then Sirens.

Looking at the map, I see why. They're like 2 miles from it. Jesus.

That guy's next assignment will be manning a weather station close to the Arctic Circle.
Current temporary assignment is bathroom duty after Taco Tuesday.

"Fun" "Facts"*:
In the original script of Back To The Future (the one they were using when Eric Stoltz was starring) - just as the lightning hit the Delorean cables a fly flew into the car. When Marty made it back the the future (everyone looks into camera) he complained to Doc that he did not feel so well. When he made it home he argues with this parents and vomits digestive juices onto them. The next day when Doc comes by to warn McFly! about his kids being in trouble, Marty McFly! sprouts wings and flies off saying where he is going he wont need roads. Mr. Mister's Broken Wings plays as the credits rolled.

The studio deemed it too dark.

Stoltz took a lot of these ideas with him for his next starring role in The Fly 2.

*at least according to guy at the DMV
