Why are people so slow when order fast food?

If you don't know what you want, why did you get on line? And then people (mainly women going through purse) take forever to pull out their money to pay.

I thought this too. 

Back on topic. A couple weeks ago I was at McDonald's, and there was a woman in front of me with two kids. She asks the cashier "What lettuce sandwiches do you have?"

"Lettuce sandwiches? We don't have anything like that."

"What sandwiches do you have that have lettuce on them?! Good lord!"

I seriously considered beating her about the breasts.

*Group of 7 teenagers all in line showing off to each other*

Cashier: Hi, welcome to Nandos. What would you like?
First teenager: uh....umm.....can I get uh, a chicken burger? like how much is that?
Cashier: A burger is X. A meal is X.50.
First teenager: oh ok, cool. Um, hang on a sec. *counts out change, pays for it*
Second teenager: uh....umm.....can I get uh, a chicken burger? like how much is that?

*Stand and wait as each teenager orders the same meal individually*

Yeah, if I'm ordering at the counter and need a second, I'll step aside and let them know when I'm ready as opposed to keeping them on the hook. If I'm at the drivethru, I'll try hard to be as quick as possible if it's busy and there's people behind me.

Or when you go to self check out and people have like 15+ items. Not even enough room on the scale.

If you are using a cart you should not be allowed to use the quick self checkout.

Further grinded gears if they have no idea what they're doing.

Because the damn menu is in the line. Why not put it outside of the line so you can look at it for a while and when you decide, you can get in line?

Edit:
Sorry. I answered the question assuming this was about drive-through.
There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

And then they take the bags off the scale, and the machine tells them 5 times "put the items back in the bagging area" and they throw their hands up and look at the clerk like it's speaking Japanese.

Your brain is mostly fat and it cannot function properly if its deprived of fat.

Actual quotes I've heard this month;
What's the difference between the pulled pork and beef brisket? (6 times)
Do you guys have beef ribs? "No" Oh, well I want your beef ribs.
How much chicken comes on the half chicken plate?
How big is the pint/quart of BBQ Beans/Mac and Cheese?

And stuff like this happens ALL THE f***ING TIME.

Honestly, they're some of the easiest to deal with for me...

On Monday I had a lady actually threaten to shoot me if I didn't give her a free pulled pork sandwich because she sat at the speaker for 20 minutes and nobody answered. (At 07:30... We open at 11:00)

I took it as a credible threat since I saw the gun...

At that point we start to ignore them, throw whatever food they want in their face and try to get them the hell out as fast as possible. No use discussing anything, once someone pulls out that card they're a lost cause.

I think it's worse when customers come up and ask if we know our owner. Someone pulled that on my manager, was hilarious since we actually did know the owner and have worked with him. So the customer had to come up with some other bulls*** to spew.

I hate these people. There was this one idiot who would always order a "regular" sized iced coffee when we only had medium or large. I informed him of that fact and asked which size he wanted, and he would just yell "REGULAR!"

And then there was this one douchebag who dropped his change in the drive thru. I handed him his money, and when I was sure he had it, I turned to get his food. When I got back, he was just staring at me and his door was open and he said in the most childish sarcastic voice "Oh I'm just getting the money you dropped when you turned around. Don't help me or anything, I got it!". It was literally 100% his fault for dropping it. Do these morons seriously expect the person in the drive thru to walk out of the restaurant just to pick up some chump change for them? It wasn't even 25 cents.

Why didn't you just say 'We don't have regular.'

Why didn't you just ask 'How am I supposed to reach the ground from here?'
"Why are you always smiling?"
"'Cause it's all so f***in' hysterical."
I did. Note that part of my post where it says "we only had medium or large. I informed him of that fact"

That guy was a sarcastic dick. That would've just angered him even more, and you know that those whiny asswipes will just want to complain to a manager because they're too childish to move on when confronted with such a small inconvenience.

Why the f*** would you need to stand in line? The mcdonalds I go to has a screen you can order from and they will bring your food to your table. America is much more advanced and modern than my country and you don't even have a screen to order?

I'm pretty sure a screen would only slow things down. You forget, our customers are f***ing dumb. It's usually faster for us to put in their stupid modifications than for them to find out how to put sour cream on the side or change the taco into a soft taco.
