Things fast food places do that make you mad. Which one makes the most mistakes?

I remember late at night going to McDonald's with some of my sisters and ordering the 5 piece chicken nuggets. It must have been right before closing because they ended up giving me 30 nuggets...I am guessing they just wanted to get rid of them? Good thing I had a sorority house full of ladies to help me eat them!

lol! I thought it was pretty obvious...but I guess not! hahaha.

OHHHH yeah, i've been to KFC when they've run out of chicken, it's just funny to me when they do but people get sooooo upset. What do you expect that they have an infinite number of chicken pieces available? Stores do run out!

Sometimes it's a combination of things. I've only been to a KFC once when it happened, but what happened there was a late shipment. The store was already low in chicken and the shipment didn't arrive on time. But when that happens the store is required to close for the night.

I've been to a local hamburger place (like a mom & pop restuarant) where they ran out of hamburger meat to make the hamburgers! lol. It happens.

When I worked at Coldstone we ran out of like 5 different flavors of ice cream, because the owners didn't order enough & the shipment was late. So I guess that is why i'm more lenient on restaurants, cause i know what it feels like to turn customers away b/c you don't have the product.

I refuse to eat at Burger King because of what happened when I got food for my mom. The one I went to had an open kitchen behind the order counter. In other words, you can see all of the employees as they make your food. I just hated watching these people, because not one person had on gloves. They were just grabbing at food (from the buns to actually grabbing the lettuce with their hands). The fact that these people looked unkempt just made it worse. I had to leave before they took my order. I wanted to find some place to puke. I went right home and talked my mom into never eating at Burger King.

The only problem I've had and continue to have is when I eat at McDonalds. The burger is always hot, but everything else on it is cold. Either that or the cheese isn't melted.

I totally forgot about Dunkin Donuts. Yep, the same thing happened to me there too. It wasn't with the bagels though, it was with the donuts. RA, it was SO weird. It was as though part of the donut was infected with a different taste. Usually, I'll tear off the the bad piece and eat the rest. I did have one where the taste was so gross that it did end my breakfast that morning. I wonder what that taste is. Do they even know that this has been happening to people? It's got to be somewhere in one of their health policy manuals or something.

I agree.

I remember when I used to eat fast food, chicken McNuggets from McDonalds would leave a horrible taste in my mouth. Then I watched that movie about that guy that who ate too much McDonalds and it made him sick.

Yeah, Starbucks hot chocolate is too strong. And yes, Dunkin Donuts are the best.

I didn't know what it was, I just knew at the time that it was gross.

Ok, this is a pet peeve of mine, but I hate it when someone says they don't like McDonalds because of the movie "Supersize Me." He ate McD's for breakfast, lunch & dinner for 30 days, of course he was going to get sick. We watched it in my first semester of college English and the whole class came to the consensus that it was not an "eyeopening experience" like it seemed Spurlock intended it to be.

I love Krispy Kreme doughnuts. So light . . . Dunkin Donuts are like hockey pucks.

I picked up a Happy Meal for my son - they forgot the toy. That makes it a Sad Meal.

True, but that stuff is so bad for you, regardless of the movie.

I was going to say the same thing. Too much of anything can be bad for you and could possibly make you sick. So, yeah, I agree with this post.
