HARDEES, HARDEES, HARDEES...

i went one day on my 45 minute lunch break...5 minutes to get there, 40 minutes to get my food???...had the NERVE to have a "how are we doing?" sticker in the window, so i called and told them that i was sitting for over 20 minutes to get my food. by the time they got my information to send me a coupon for a meal, i was still in line. i know you are wondering why i didnt get out the car and go inside (it was snowy and below freezing lol!) and i honestly wanted to know how long it was going to take! i did call the manager when i got to work and cursed him out as well...

eta: i forgot about kfc running out of chicken at 7pm, mcdonalds not having any ketchup, and wendys running out of salads at 4pm. the biggest one for me was calling Pizza Hut at 7pm and they had NO CRUST. only chicken wings and pasta...wtf?

A friend and I went through the McDonald's drive thru - he ordered the Filet-o-fish...NO TARTAR SAUCE. They confirmed, "So that's no tartar sauce, just fish and cheese on the bun?" He said yes, we drove away. Imagine how angry he was when he opened his fish sandwich and it was a bun...full of ONLY tartar sauce, no fish and no cheese.

Last night, daddy and I went to the golden arches and he asked for lettuce, tomato, and onions on his burger...so the woman goes, "Just lettuce, tomato and onion? You don't want the bread?"

I called Taco Hell to complain about the hair in my food. She asked for the number on my receipt and I told her I didn't get one (I WISH they did free meals for no receipt!). She then took down my name and address...for "recording purposes." I didn't even get a coupon, that's not how they work.

I'm about to gross some people out. We got food from Taco Bell and went home. My cousin was eating upstairs in her room and then rushed downstairs. She tells us to stop eating because she found a roach in her taco. Not a leg a piece, but a wole roach in the taco meat. She drove back to the TB and they just took it back and threw it away. She called customer service and she got......you guessed it, NOTHING! Ewww.

This thread is kinda funny to me, because we don't have many of the places mentioned - Chick Fil A, Hardee's, Dunkin Donuts, Tim Hortons, Boston Market.

Yeah, I have NO idea what Tim Horton's is....

Anyways, it never ceases to amaze me the trouble Mcdonalds has making a plain cheeseburger. PLAIN. NOTHING ON IT BUT CHEESE. Come on people, that requires even LESS effort to make.

And KFC....ewww....walking into our KFC is NASTY. I feel like I need a facial when I leave. The food is ALWAYS cold and mushy.

I miss Bojangles. And Sonic.

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.

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.

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.
