The "white sauce" is sour cream.

Well, OF COURSE I haven't paid, you weren't there!

But yeah, this is just one example of the wonderfully idiotic kind of things that McDonalds has pulled.

That same thing happened to me at KFC!!! I waited like 5 minutes at the payment window and the girl never showed so I went to the 2nd window and she freaked out. She yelled at me about how i'm suppose to wait and the 1st window until she comes yada yada yada, and how she was going to tell the manager that I tried to avoid paying. So I told her that she could go ahead and tell the manager, and I'll tell my uncle (who's the supervisor of all the KFCs in the city) and see who gets in trouble more--her or me.

That McDonald's nastiness tastes nothing like Chick-Fil-A's decent food in any way shape or form.

Really? I do agree that the southern chicken isn't very good, although I had the sandwich not the biscuit, but I don't think Chick-Fil-A is good either.

For some reason, I think that's one of the funniest things I've ever read on this site...I think the term is "deadpan."

Ditto. I wanted to say it so badly. I'm glad epchick said it.

LOL, agree. And I can just see the confused Taco Bell workers: "well of course we'll leave the white sauce off -- we never put any on to start with."

I still say KK is evil. I can't eat a donut that's too warm. But I can't get enough of the DD donuts. The chocolate frosted ones are my favorite

For some reason, the local McDonald's gets their food deliveries in the evening. At dinnertime. And the truck invariably parks in the drive-thru lane, so they shut down the drive-thru. At dinnertime.

The fast-food place that really sucks around here, though, is Boston Market. I went there last spring and they had taken stuffing off the menu. STUFFING. That's arguably their most popular side. (OK, I can't fault the local BM for that - that was a corporate-level decision.) And the last time I was there, I went through the drive-thru, placed an order for two quarter chickens (white), chose the sides, corrected the order (they punched in the wrong sides), then drove up to the window. The guy told me how much it would cost, and when I pulled out my money, he said, "Oh, by the way, we're out of chicken. You'll have to wait twenty minutes." I said, "No, I don't," and drove off. He couldn't have told me they didn't have any roast chicken ready when I ordered?!?! That's like Burger King being out of burgers.

Oh, they are evil, especially when they're warm -- very evil, in the best possible way.

Boston Market also took Cinnamon Apples off the menu for the summer. I went there just for those. I wrote to them and complained and let them know I wouldn't be back until the cinnamon apples were back.

Yes, Boston Market is pretty terrible. I remember when it used to be Boston Chicken (or something like that) when I was younger, and it wasn't half bad. Then, for the first few years, the Boston Market in my hometown was ok - they made really good chicken salad sandwiches, so I used to go there all the time on breaks from my summer job in high school. Somewhere down the line, the place went way downhill.

During college, after a couple of drinks, I went to the one in Allston (outskirts of Boston) with a couple of friends. When it was still terrible, even with a couple of drinks in me, I vowed never to go back.

I went to BK once with my mom and we were stoked that they were still serving breakfast. My mom gave the drive thru voice her order and he said, "Oh hold on." After 2 or 3 minutes, he WALKED OUTSIDE, turned the menu around to lunch, walked all the way back and said, "Okay, can I take your order?" We just looked at each other, then drove away.

Go to a Barnes and Noble and order hot chocolate from their Starbucks-esque cafe. They have Godiva hot chocolate. The first time I had it, I whispered to my co-worker, "Is this what sex is like when you put it in a cup?"

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 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!
