Has this ever happened to you. You go to your favorite fast food place. You place your order and pay. Then you spend 10 minutes driving home. Only to realize your Big Mac didn't make it in the bag. Do you get mad or just do without?Tell us your worst drive thru exprience.

Ha ha! I get mad. Matt really makes fun of me for this, but I call all the time! I never let it go! I don't care, I PAID for it, I want it!! If I didn't want it, I wouldn't have asked for it!!! I have also gotten all the way home and realized it and went back! Once right after I had the baby we ate out at Taco Bell. Well they didn't forget something that time, but I don't like sour cream or bean. I wasn't paying attention and bit into the burrito and it had bean in it. OMG, I didn't say a word to Matt, I got up left, went back, RIPPED them a new one! And then went home! THEN I went on their website and complained! I recieved lots of coupons from that!! I am still saying my hormones weren't back to normal though

I've learned my lesson on that one. I almost always check my bags now. I'm only peeved when the sign says one price and they charge you a different price, like with the little box of apple juice at McDonalds. Like $.75 isn't outrageous enough, but to advertise $.75 and then charge me $.99 really ticks me off. Granted it's only $.30 but still, it's the principle!

They aren't allowed to do that!!! I think there is a number to call if they charge you a price other then what is listed. Have you ever asked them about it?

I usually don't check, because they rush you to leave the drive thru and people behind you get POed so I just go once I get it.

Myself, I am in no way a confrontational person, so if they dont put somthing in the bag I just say " those b@stards!..." and move on.
But my mother...oh no, she is a different story!

She calls, she complians, she makes me go ALL the way back to the place to get what we ordered again. Her thoughts are the same as most " if I paid for it I want it!"

Which I agree but I am just not one to confront, you know.
So now I make sure I check all the bags BEFORE I get home!

Let me tell you about this story and ask you what you would've done.

So I'm pulling in to Mc D's and going to the drive thru. Well, there's this car whose way away from the menu so I assume they are waiting for the other person to get done ordering before they pull all the way up. And they do.
So far its a typical drive thru.
So they order and pull behind the car before them. I pull up and order, then I move up the only 3 feet I have to go.

So we wait and 2 cars come behind me. Now my tailend is still at the screen and I'm only halfway around the corner because the car in front of me hasn't pulled up yet EVEN though the car ahead of them has.

This goes on for 5 min and the guy is just sitting, not moving up. I'm like come on buddy this is a line here go. So I honk and then everyone behind me starts honking.

Still no movement and hes like 2 car lengths from the first window. Everyone is getting pissed and I dont have time to sit here so I go around.

Well then when he seeing me going around he barrels behind me and I see his car in my rear view right on my bumper. (I'm now almost at the window in front of him)

He gets out and it's a huge black man. Well, no I'm not racist but I will admit big black angry men scare me. He comes stomping to my car and bangs on the window.

I rolled it down slightly. I don't know what he's going to do so I crack it about 2 inches and "WHAT?"
This is how it went:

Man: What? You can't wait your turn??
Me: Um, yeah but you wernt pulling up.
Man: You can't wait your turn?? You didnt see all those damn cars in front of me??
Me: Well, you didnt move up. So I...
Man: WTF is your problem, lady??

Ok so he was pointing at me the whole time and freaking me out!
At this point I'm soooo scared!!!
I'm just praying he'll go away and my adrenaline is pumping and I'm shaking so bad.

Then the lady that was behind me sticks her head out of her window and starts asking what his problem is. As soon as he turns away I roll my window back up and watch in my rear view as he walks to the lady like hes ganna punch her.
(She's one of those No nonsense older women and I'm the non-confrontational quiet girl who almost peed in her pants!)

I crack it again to hear and he calls her a B*tch and hes walking closer to her. I'm scared for her and I'm afraid he will come back after me so I high tail my @ss outta there!! Screw the food, I wanna live!
I dont even know what happened. Hope the woman is okay.

So yeah, all that because his dumb@ss wouldnt move. Its like hes never been through a drive thru before. Its a line and you move up so others can order. Thats how you do it.

Well thanks for reading!

What would you have done?

Oh man why can't crap like this happen to me. I would've had dared that dude to lie a finger on me. I would've had my cellphone out and dialing 911. You never know what somebody might do nowdays.I would have went inside and got a manager too.

I always check my food before I leave. And *if* I forget to check and it's wrong when I get home, I drive all the way back.
I tell them that not only is my burger wrong/missing/whatever, but because I had to drive all the way back here because of THEIR mistake, my fries are at home getting cold and my drink is going flat.
I usually make quite a scene and they fix my food and give me more fries and drink. I paid for hot (correct) food and a fizzy drink....that's what I want. Period.
