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

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.

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've had more proplems with Wendy's than any other fast food restaurant. For a place that custom makes each and every order, it's amazing how often they get it wrong.

A few years ago, Mr. KR and were driving on I-95 and we stopped at a Wendy's drive through and got something to eat. When I opened up my chicken sandwich, I saw that it had mayonaise on it and I detest mayonaise on my chicken sandwich. So, instead of turning around and going back, we pulled into the next Wendy's we saw. I marched in, told them that their drive thru people had made a mistake, and got a new sandwich

I love the one in Providence. They make great hot chocolate and the line in the morning is usually pretty short (if there is a line) not like the long lines @ DD! Yum!

Wendy's:

My then roommate and I through drive through and I order my sandwich without lettuce. We get our food and then pull over in the parking lot to eat (we were both hungry but didn't want to go inside.) I check my sandwich, it has lettuce. I go inside now and talk to the manager. He tells them to make it without lettuce. I open it up in front of him...yup, there was lettuce. He then went and made it for me.

Taco Bell:

Always running out of chicken.

There's a bunch of locations in Connecticut - I don't think I've ever stopped at one, but there are quite a few in the area.

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 just found this article through Stumble...I instantly thought of this thread when I read it!

I know, I used to work there! And yes, I spit in the food ALOT! Especially to loud mouthed snotty bitches!

I always look in the bag. And I worked fast food too, but can't say I ever spit in the food.

Our problem around here is the McDonalds. They can NEVER get the order right. For instance - I despise onions. Inevitably, every time I order a cheeseburger without onions, it's a cheeseburger with only onions. The same goes with their drinks. Sweet tea, extra ice. But it's normally sweet tea, no ice.

And can we at least agree that Krispy Kreme is awful? haha. Their coffee is horrible and their donuts, well.. they're not like Dunkins'. I love that they built a KK in Medford, MA and it went out of business within a few years of opening.

I think it tends to be where KK or DD is located. I know here DD isn't half as popular as KK. But the best time to get KK doughnuts is when they're hot off the rack.

I've had coffee and a doughnut from both places before and maybe it's because of the region of the country I'm from but I prefer KK to DD anyday.
