Do you just eat it or send it back?

That's why. And yes we're talking about the same carry out to go orders. THEY ARE STILL PREPARING YOUR ORDER. Just because you didn't sit there and run them around to serve you, they are still doing a service to you.

That was exactly the point. I would not send food back if it had something on it that I asked to be taken off because I'm not allergic to anything. But if someone with an allergy asks for something to be taken off and it's not, then that's perfect cause to send it back. Whether or not it was their fault for not making it clear they had a medical reason for not eating it is irrelevant--I was pointing out that they still had reason to send it back without being seen as rude.

Cheerful--Wendy's always puts onions on my sandwiches when I ask them not to, so I feel you! Arby's is 50/50 on that.

It depends. If I ordered a ravioli and I was brought fetticini, then that goes straight back. If I ordered no onions and there's onions on it, I'll just pick them off, but even that irks me because what if I'm allergic to whatever I asked you not to put on? If you thought "Oh they can just pick it off, I'm not making that again" and I eat it without knowing you screwed up my order, that could be my life right there. It pisses me off when people make mistakes with my food, but if I don't feel like I can put on my fakest smile and happy voice so I don't find something floating in my soup, then I'll just be quiet about it.

That doesn't surprise me, but the Taco Hell that I go to...they wear gloves. I wouldn't eat there if they didn't. And what really makes it so bad is they make the tacos after touching money too. That's disgusting.

I know what you mean. That's so annoying when I go through the window and order, and then it's all wrong. I hate mayo, and Wendy's is good for getting my order wrong by adding gobs of mayo on my hamburger. I don't eat fast food often but out of all the fast food places, Wendy's is the best at screwing up an order.

For me, it's McDonalds. I rarely eat there because I always wind up with yellow mustard on my burger.

Whoa. See now, that is scary. That's why there are signs in the bathrooms of restaurants telling employees to "wash their hands" before returning to work.
