Whats the worst service youve ever gotten from a restaurant or fast food joint?
KFC, my order took like 30 minutes AFTER i got there at the order ahead time, they were clearly understaffed but also two or three of the workers were just standing around doing nothingtaco bell is getting close though, they forget an item literally every time i've gone there in the past year
The worst I’ve ever had is the current standard. Stone-faced unfriendly employees who don’t want to do their jobs. And they look unsanitary. And it takes far longer to get your food than it has any right to take at a fast food place. And the food looks like it was dipped in grease and thrown against a wall. It probably was. They have zero work ethic and no one cares. Society is literally collapsing, but retards don’t notice it because of normalcy bias and the fact that it’s a slow collapse. Quickly speeding up however. You can make fast food at home, in a fast way and cheap way, and it will be better.
>>21964690>taco bell is getting close though, they forget an item literally every time i've gone there in the past yearI haven't eaten at a Taco Bell in more than 20 years and that was a consistent problem back then too.Guess they don't feel the need to fix their process if customers keep buying it regardless.I mean I personally never bought from a Taco Bell again in over 20 years but I guess all the other fat slobs still do.
>>21964673I JUST WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY
>>21964690>Order missing baja blast cause the store doesnt want to refill the syrup in the machine>Ends up giving me just fucking seltzer water Is this a problem now with taco bell locations or what?
>waitress doesn't look me in the eye when handing me my beer
>be me last year>Wendys had that tie-in meal with the Wednesday show, Meal of Misfortune>the flurry and dipping sauce sounded good>go to drive-thru>it's on the drive-thru menu>"yeah can I get the Meal of Misfortune?">"the what?" (it was clearly an old woman)>"the Meal of Misfortune">"we don't have that">"I'm looking at it on the menu right now">"I've never heard of it">"It's, you know, the Wednesday meal">"today isn't Wednesday" (in her defense, it was not) >"....okay a spicy chicken combo then"I swear this happened nearly verbatim. I got what I deserved for ordering a gimmick fast food item for a show I'd never watched.
>fast food fags expecting serviceflaming faggots the lot of yo
I used to go to this Wendy's a lot but it had every problem with service imaginable, they're complete retards there. Otherwise I had a bitchy waitress at Texas Roadhouse years ago.
Go to a respectable restaurant with a head waiter that always observes the dining room and delegates waiters appropriately. Fast food joints are designed to offer as little service as possible. Don't be a plebian.
>>21964773I had a really bad experience when ordering the Spongbob meal at Burger King>Go inside and place order for the Bikini Bottom meal on the kiosk because I didn't want to ask the cashier for it>Kiosk says my number will be called when the order is ready>Sit down at table nearest register>Wait 15 minutes as multiple other people order at the register and get their food>Four employees sitting at a table have been staring at me the entire time I have been waiting>Mexican cleaning lady cleans the table I am sitting at and cleans the floor directly under my feet as if I am not even there>Eventually old black woman employee sitting down at the table asks me if I am waiting on something>Tell her I have been waiting for 20 minutes now for food I ordered on the kiosk>She goes into the kitchen and starts screaming at all of the employees telling them that making me wait so long is unacceptable>The food was sitting under a heat lamp the entire time but still needs the pie and drink>She holds up every other order in progress until they finish mine>Six (6) foreign Doordash drivers that don't speak any English standing around me at the register holding their phones up trying to pick up orders plus a walk in customer trying to order at the register but they all get ignored since they are focused on finishing my order>Standing in front of the counter with the Spongebob meal in front of me completely surrounded by screaming people while the cashier tries to make the drink>He runs out of the cold foam that is supposed to go on top of the drink>Has to go ask angry black woman who I guess is the manager where to get more>She takes him to the freezer and comes back with a frozen carton of foam>He can't get the partially frozen foam to come out of the carton>Stand there for another 2 minutes surrounded by people while he tries to pour the frozen foam out of the carton>He finally gets enough out to cap it and call it done>Walk out with my cold and soggy food

nothing excitingfirst time visiting london - some central tourist spot restaurantout with my new gfwaiter takes forever, take our order, food take forever. Meanwhile there was a busy table taking all the waiters attention.waiter stood over me watching me hit 0 for the tip felt pretty fun
>>21964773You got what you deserve for mansplaining her.
>>21964802Going out to get the Spongebob meal was the 3rd time I went to a restaurant in 2025. I don't go outside much less go out to eat because I get into situations like that.

>>21964673Went thru a late nite McDonald’s drive thru once and got a straight raw burger. Got borderline assaulted once by some Jerry springer show type chick working at KFC who threw the food at me / told me to get the F out all because I politely mentioned a missing item from my order
>Steak 'n Shake (shitty St. Louis shake and burger chain that's reminiscent of Jim Crow malt places)>go to the nice one in the big white 'burb by me at the time because someone got shot at my usual location>pull up and there's at least 8 car long wait in drive-thru>at least 20 cars in parking lot and can see a small crowd inside>get to drive thru after probably 20 minutes and look through window>what looks like a literal party going on with staff and kids that crashed there>just people hanging out everywhere>swear I see some young girl getting fingered in back corner by sink>two workers shoving each other right near the deep fryer>some sort of twerk off in the lobby >absolutely aghast because all white people btw >have to wait for cashier to stop talking to someone else before I can order>have to repeat my order 3 times because it's so loud>total seems odd but pay it anyway, tells me to pull up before I can say anything>wait like a fucking idiot for about another 20-30 minutes>finally go back around through drive-thru and ask what's up>my order straight up just doesn't exist>cashier just stares at me blankly before grabbing the manager>some business major kid tells me 'I got you covered, buddy'>"this would absolutely never happen on my shift, sales go up 23.45% when I'm here blah blah blah">can't refund my card, cash refund was like 10 bucks more than I paid for some reason>never go backthere's rumors every year they're going to go bankrupt but they always escape it. a couple years ago they started marketing to MAGA people and getting sued all the time.
there was a paperclip inside my subway sandwich
>>21964776>>21964802Literally a food topic on a food board and youre gonna bitch about it for the rest of your lives.Ask hiromoot to add a /ckf/ board or some shit for fast food like how /v/ has containment boards or shut the fuck up.
>>21964802What is real food? I cook what recipes I can find with ingredients I find at the grocery store. Is that close enough?
>>21964673Technically the worst but it wasn’t really the restaurants fault. my family went to eat at a restaurant in door county when a really bad storm hit. The power went out and the backup generators they had I think were not working. So we waited two hours to get our food. After that I had diarrhea. Another time I was at another restaurant in the same area and they served us hot dog buns and called it garlic bread.
>>21964691> COL skyrockets> Shocked only mongoloids are willing to "work" for the lowest wages around townFast food wasn't always literally the lowest wages around, and the absolute trashing of "burger flipping" as a career shuffled even the midwits away from those jobs. If people want decent service, you have to provide a decent environment, and hire decent people.And decent people inherently have standards. My rant isn't necessarily directed at you, just at the problem in general. It's so stupid and fixable
>>21964777> CheckedAlso those pictured are crazy lol
>>21964691It's almost like corporations underpay. Fuck off boomer.
>>21964830Did you go after some high school event? Mine gets like that after some football games and dances

>>21964830Steak n shake is from Indianapolis not st louis
>>21964935Its from neither, it originated in Normal Illinois https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_%27n_Shake
>>21964920>Fast food wasn't always literally the lowest wages aroundYes it was, fast food pays much more now than it used to you retarded keyboard commie.
Gotta post the classic
Once had a pf changs waiter dump a whole tray of dirty dishes next to my table at my brother's bday dinner. My poor mom had arrived late due to work, and was the primary victim of red sauce on her white blouse. She's never been back to any pf changs, and it's been about 20yrs. I don't usually care about service that isn't fake nice. I prefer short, direct, service. The pleasantries can get REALLY annoying if you're dealing with a server trying too hard. In my humble opinionThe most consistent example of service that most people would have a problem with though, is the host of a local hibachi place. He's always so obviously unhappy, to the point it's funny he's been there for at least 15yrs. I swear he's the owner's son, and probably just feels pressured to follow in their for legacy or something. He acts inconvenienced, barely does so much as a nod to acknowledge you, barely makes eye contact. It's just honestly hysterical to me at this point. I watch him do it with every other customer interaction I've seen too!Love the food though, and the servers are much nicer. He seems to be married and have a kid in the restaurant now too, so he acts kind enough to someone
I was on autopilot and I scratched my sweaty, itchy balls wicked hard making a sandwich and didnt realize it until long after the order went out. That was somebodys bad service.but theyll never know.
>>21964673BBQ place that was so busy they forgot us for an hour. they comped us the meal. it was the best BBQ place I have ever been. it was only open from 11am to 3pm m-f. covid killed it.several steak houses have served me new york steak instead of ribeye.applebee's
>>21964691>You can make fast food at home,but then it won't be fast.
>>21964935that's nice honey
Burger king drive through. They had a burger called the "A1 Ultimate bacon Cheese burger". So I ordered it. The girl read back my order and said "Bacon double cheese burger?" No, "A1 Ultimate bacon Cheese burger". "Do you want that as a meal", no. "anything else" no. "that will be $1.60"..... You got my order wrong. "you ordered a cheese burger?", no. I ordered an "A1 Ultimate bacon Cheese burger", "oh ok".......... I guess I will get the total at the window.Now I did get the correct "burger", but mine did not look like the one on the menu. In fact it was about half the height, there were 3 partial strips of bacon on it 3 pieces of onion, and it looked like a bookcase fell on it.
>>21964690I've waited that long and got undercooked chicken that gave me food poisoning.
>>21964978>several steak houses have served me new york steak instead of ribeye.Every time I order a ribeye at Outback they give me some weird cut of steak that's got a flat bone in the middle of it on the bottom, and I've never seen a ribeye served with such a bone anywhere else, including butcher shops.
every time i go to macas and have to spell out what i want because theyre too stupid to understand "combo 4d" (spicy deluxe chicken sandwich)ive even tried doing it phonetically just in case the headsets suck but they always act confused when i say the letter and if i just say #4 combo they do the base chicken sandwich without asking which variant
Five guys took 50 minutes to give me my food. I was the only one sat at a table.Wingstop took an hour to give me my food.The fries were fresh but the sandwich was definitely made over 40 minutes ago.Theres also a lot of these VERY dogshit family run spots that i really think are all owned by the same private equity or some shit because they all have almost identical menus and shit, but theyre all bad. Its always arabs or border hopping mexicans and the food always takes fucking ages to get made and everything tastes the same and shitty. The fries are always the same, everything is crap.But i avoid those places now, can spot them a mile off. Theyre always named "super burger" "frostys burgers"

>>21964673Came to collect a pickup order from a local restaurant, when I pressed "%0 tip" after paying with a card, the cashier looked at me like I was an asshole and waved me out the door. Never went back.>>21964690KFC is pretty fast for me, and the Taco Bell here never gets my order wrong and I constantly walk in to add specific customization to my order ingredients. Popeyes constantly takes a crazy amount of time and messes my order up all the time.
>>21964691>who don’t want to do their jobsas if anyone wants to fucking work a wageslave job at some fast food joint
>le epic zoomer manlet e-celeb thread
>>21965742This is true, but the complicity of the corporation does not absolve the guy in this thread of the guilt that he admitted to of scratching his balls and touching the customer’s food. My main point being, regardless of who is at fault, you are paying for service that is not only poor but detrimental to your health.
>>21964673Wendy's in early covid. That location sucked and was in an "African" area, took forever, things were missing or made wrong. It wasn't even understaffed.>>21964691This minus the stone faced employees. You're a faggot if you want everyone to smile at you like a freak. I was always going to cut out fast food at the first convenient moment because I enjoy cooking and eating real food. The quality decrease + price increase associated with covid made that extremely easy.
>>21964942>15 dollars is more than 9 dollars therefore fast food pays more now15 is more than 9 "literally" but I'm not sure if you're smart enough to understand what inflation is.
>>21964690>taco bell is getting close though, they forget an item literally every time i've gone there in the past yearI've very frequently had the same issue. I cannot fathom how it could be difficult to read off what the computer monitor says is supposed to be on the order and just put the goddamned shit in the bag. Honestly, if they would just give me the right number of items then I wouldn't even bitch about the order being wrong. But apparently they can't read OR count.
>>21964804I thought they discouraged tipping because they pay them living wage over there?
>>21965011I get steaks from Outback all the time 99% of the time it is a ribeye, never once had a bone in it. one time I got a new york steak. the issue is that some retards can't tell the difference between and uncooked ribeye and a new your strip.
>>21965958I've rarely ever really seen an expectation of a tip in London. That's largely because they add a discretionary service charge of 10-15% onto the bill almost everywhere. i.e. you can ask for it to be removed, but unless service was dogshit then it's too much of a hassle to bother. I've rarely witnessed such entitlement due to this.
>>21965700it's really simple the darker the complexion of the workers at a fried chicken place the more likely you order will be fucked.
>>21965967>it's really simple the darker the complexion of the workers at a fried chicken place the more likely you order will be fucked.You would think they'd be more passionate about it, since that is literally all they eat.
>>21966011Oh stop. They all eat McDonalds too.
>>21965967>be me>go to Nigger King>wait in drive through, not first in line, many more behind>wait more>my turn >wait more, must be short staffed>finally place order>"please pull around">wait more, kitchen full, not short staffed>watch niggers work>Window niggress just chatting the whole time with other niggers>Then suddenly takes an order, she's the one taking orders>Only bothers to take an order every five minutes at best, when she feels like it>She literally just stands there not doing her job 99% of the time because nigger>finally get food and leave>its cold
>Anybody in a pizza place that tries to get you to tip when youre picking up your own fucking pizzaTipping culture in the US deserves its own thread but last time i made one i got banned and told to go to /biz/ when its exclusively a food industry issue and primarily just america.
