On my way home haven't eaten anything since like 8 this morning so I say fuck it and pull into the BK drivethru.

I try to order a bbq bacon whopper, before I even get the words out of my mouth this lady just cuts me off and says "We don't have that!"

".......okay, you don't serve bacon and cheese whoppers anymore?"

"We can do a bacon and cheese whopper"

".........can you add bbq sauce to it?"

*awkward pause*

"I can give you some packets of bbq sauce"

*I drive off*

Now i have a fresh reminder of why I really don't ever go to those shit holes anymore. Gross food I can deal with. Gross food and shitty attitude from the biggest losers in society? yeah, no thanks

Gee, I wonder why these people you're calling society's biggest losers are giving you attitude

Burger King is the bottom of the barrel of fast food. I wouldn't generalize all fast food workers because whenever I go to lunch at an Einstein's or a Port of Subs or even Taco Bell I have great experiences. But Burger King is always a bad experience.

Probably cause their life sucks and their shitty attitude is all but cementing them in their shitty pointless existence?

I served tables for years, I'm the easiest and most laid back customer you're gonna come across. But if you're gonna give me attitude over nothing you can go fuck yourself.

Considering the kinds of customers these workers have to deal with, I can understand some of the workers' "don't care" attitudes.

How was their attitude shitty? You ordered something that wasn’t on the menu then demanded they make it for you regardless. You seriously can’t add your own bbq sauce to a burger? Does mommy have to cut it into pieces for you too?

Yup one time I had a hungover and ordered a big Mac meal with a large coke (I really just wanted the coke) I get the order it's fucking ice tea.

I make another order for a Jr chicken and another coke, I get it and it's a diet coke...

I fucking flipped (I was already grouchy from the hangover) I sent a big complaint to the place and never ordered from there again. Idiots.

I don't eat KFC but I always have a good experience at Taco Bell. At best they're polite and helpful. At worst they're hilariously aware of how everyone that eats there past a certain time is high as hell. Surprisingly composed for people that have to wait 5 minutes for someone to decide on their choice of outershell they want for ingredients that are shared across all of the items on the menu.

fast food is hit or miss for me...sometimes they are useless wastes of space and sometimes the workers actually give a fuck and do a good job. the shitty ones that have bad attitudes should be fired tho

She was being a bitch, and she was wrong. pretty unlikable combination.

And yeah I can put it on my own burger, but I don't fucking work there. This a restaurant, I buy food, you make the food, I eat the food. That's how this works genius. It's not like I was asking for tacos or some outlandish shit.

Half the reason their lives suck is that they work under shitty conditions for sub-living wages. The other half? Entitled and condescending customers such as yourself.

I guess you need them to sauce your nuggets too. I understand being upset she had attitude but you’re acting pretty damn insufferable about the sauce situation. “They work there not me!”..give me a fuckin break lol.

Then get a new job if it's that bad. I was poor once, came from a family that didn't have shit and I've carved out a nice life for myself. I'm not the audience for your woe is me pity party.

I can promise you this, If you do work fast food and you have a shitty attitude like this lady did day in and day out you're gonna die where you are. and you'll have no one to blame but your own unlikable ass.

The Burger King right next to where I live is great. Just finished up my lunch from there, actually. They were very pleasant at the drive-thru, were happy to customize my sandwich the way I wanted it, and even cooked my fish to order to ensure it was fresh and tasty. It was so flaky, it practically melted in my mouth. Better than any Filet-O-Fish I've had from McDonalds, although that's a good one too.

Also, that seems odd they don't have BBQ sauce anywhere but in packets. I was just looking at their menu, and they have several burgers (including a Whopper) that come with BBQ sauce on it. Somebody didn't know what the fuck they were doing, or maybe you went to a small BK with a very watered-down menu.

Basically, yeah. 

Nobody who is actually worth a damn is going to stick around for the shit pay and shit work of fast food. The scrubs will stick around. You just gotta get lucky and hit the place at the right time.

I know what TC means. I’ve worked at McDonalds and in restaurants. I’ve never acted like some of these moody people. 

They cut you off mid order with their monotone, deflated voices. 

“What size?”

Maybe if you’d let me finish, I’d tell you you impatient, bitch. 

I get it. I’ve had to man two drive thru lanes while taking money for the first window. I get how hectic things can be. I get how things can be slow without it even being your fault. But get out of your funk. Seriously.

lol, you weren't even there but you're comfortable is assuming that I gave them an attitude about it? I was pretty polite till I drove off. And even then I didn't say something shitty I just left.

I've had bad fish from BK before, trust me. But it was at a different location. I swear they would sometimes sell me fish sandwiches that had been sitting there for 3+ hours. It didn't kill me and it wasn't rotten, but the texture and flavor was definitely sub-par. 

This one I go to now always cooks fish to order. I've never had a bad meal from them, and they've never fucked up my order. Location matters. BK should do a better job of making sure independent franchise owners are doing a better job so that their reputation doesn't get tarnished.

On the plus side, because so many people have had bad experiences at BK, the great one that's right by my place rarely has any cars at the drive-thru, so it's right in and right out every time.
God bless you

Bro they have burgers with bbq sauce on them, which means they have a squeeze bottle with sauce in it back in the kitchen. She either didn't want to do it cause she's lazy as shit or didn't want to admit that she's an idiot and couldn't put that together herself without me pointing it out to her.

It's not about having to put the sauce on my burger, its about you being an unpleasant person to deal with. I'll take my business elsewhere. Fast food isn't even really that cheap anymore. Might as well spend a few more dollars and go to burger fi and get an awesome burger and not have to deal with lazy ass unmotivated people
"People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time"
-Detective Rust Cohle
I don't understand why a manager/owner of a BK would choose to not stock BBQ when that's a sauce that goes on several of the sandwiches on their menu, and something that is fairly commonly desired among fast food customers. What are they gaining from that? What went into that decision? There's just no explanation. Even if they had just run out, you can literally buy BBQ sauce at grocery stores and convenience stores. No excuse at all. Really bad management.

    You're not going to talk to me like I'm a piece of shit and get my money, it's as simple as that. That goes for fast food and anything else. When I asked for the sauce all she had to say was "sure". I couldn't have cared less if she just threw a couple of packs of bbq sauce in the bag.

    Maybe if you’d let me finish, I’d tell you you impatient, bitch.


    After working in 2 different fast food places for a total of 6 years, most customers do not tell you a size until you ask. And for the places I worked at, the size was the first thing I had to push on the register to even begin the order, so once you move to the next item on your list, I'm interrupting you to ask what size. "What size?" was probably said more times than my standard greeting to customers. 

    But I agree with most people in this topic, dealing with annoying and stupid customers everyday will make anyone angry. But on the other side, if your nice to them then everything goes great, especially if your after the stupid customers. I was at a place over the weekend right before they closed. I ordered, they said they had to replace a certain part of it because they were closing and out of stock, and I said that's fine. The person behind me ordered the same thing, they told her, and she threw a fit and started insulting the people there for "closing early". I got an extra container of fries for being nice and she left angry.

    You have shit customer service if you cut people off, period. 

    Again, I’ve worked these jobs. I know this. But fast food workers are terrible often times. I literally go through everything. I say “10 piece nugget meal, no sauce, with a Dr Pepper, no ice. Medium.”

    SOMEHOW I get cut off before I even finish. Somehow my drink still has fucking ice in it. Somehow the dude at the second window just hands me my food without even saying shit. And somehow my nuggets are stale as fuck. 

    I’m the most patient, understanding customer you’ll find precisely because I’ve been in their shoes. But tone, and your lack of giving a shit gets old. 

    Kids these days have no clue how to be polite. I don’t care how long you deal with crappy people. Stop treating EVERYONE crappy. It’s just a cycle.

    Yeah, customers like me who give you money and provide you an avenue to make some money yourself. Can't believe one of those pricks would have the nerve to ask you to add something to their burger. Who in the hell do they think they are?! the king of england?!

    You sound ridiculous dude. That bitch will never amount to anything in life unless she makes some serious changes. And it's pretty damn sad that I can confidently say that from a 30 sec interaction with someone. I feel bad for her honestly.


    Yeah, I guess customers paying for their food entitles them to treat fast food workers like garbage. You've got me convinced.


    In what pussified world is asking for something to be added to your order treating the employee like garbage?

    if I had said "look bitch, just put some fucking bbq sauce on my burger" you'd be right. But that's not what happened here. Admittedly the thought may have crossed my mind but I'm a grown man who knows from experience no one is going to want to help me out if I'm an asshole to them.

    I served tables for years, I'm the easiest and most laid back customer you're gonna come across. But if you're gonna give me attitude over nothing you can go fuck yourself.

    You have shit customer service if you cut people off, period. 

    Again, I’ve worked these jobs. I know this. But fast food workers are terrible often times. I literally go through everything. I say “10 piece nugget meal, no sauce, with a Dr Pepper, no ice. Medium.”


    Yup, that's exactly why I cut you off. First thing I have to do is press the size, so EVERYTHING you say until you say the size has to go into my memory. If your wondering why your drink has ice, it's because they are a bit behind you (since we don't know your order, you do) and they missed the no ice part since they were thinking about no sauce. This entire thing would be fixed if you said "medium 10 piece nugget meal..." and then they can keep up as you speak. 

    So if there's an order more complicated than yours, let's say a "quarter pounder meal with no pickles, extra onions, half the mustard, double the ketchup, big mac sauce....". Are you saying I should let them finish before saying what size or else I have shit customer service? Because that's a lot to memorize just for them to repeat it to make sure I'm right. Then the conversation goes "what size?" "medium." "OK so that's a quarter pounder with no pickles and...what else?" that's a huge waste of time for everyone. Just tell me that size up front and there is almost a guarantee there will be no mistakes.

    At this point I just laugh about customers who bitch after they make our jobs harder than they need to be. If a fast food worker asks you something, just answer it. Prompts make you put some orders in first. Can't count the number of times every fucking day where I ask a customer for their drink and they continue ordering other shit. 

    I won't lie I can be one of those attitude employees, only because I'm fucking jaded and hate certain customers. If you're cool, I'm cool. If you fucking suck at communicating, can't follow directions and feel entitled to anything you ask then fuck you I'll give you attitude. I do admit I don't like employees with that attitude from the first sentence but I've noticed its less attitude and more they're busy and can't commit enough emotion. You kinda go into autopilot especially during rushes or if you're short staffed.

    Btw tc if I had to guess on the BBQ sauce, they ran out of the line sauce and at least where I work, employees cannot open condiment containers due to cross contamination rules (and managers can be pretty hardcore on that)

    Yea I'm really not understanding this "Ugh! Then they cut me off to ask me what size i want my meal"...thing..who cares? I've never worked Fast Food but I've ordered it and i'm guilty of not always specifying what size i want. I'm sure many others are. as a result these employees have to ask and it probably just becomes part of their routine. Just because you had intent to specify the size doesn't mean everyone else does. they're just trying to get the order in as quick as they can so the people in the back can begin making it.

    @Solid_Snake07

    i've worked in a fast food place once

    some of the kitchen staff would add the bbq if told but many times the manager just wants the drive through line to move

    getting the bbq over to the kitchen staff would take a minute, then the kitchen staff has to remove their gloves, wash their hands, and get new gloves after applying the bbq sauce since the bbq is typically handed to them by the other workers who can spread germs and so on
    so a lot of time is wasted adding some sauce that the customer can really just add themselves and save everyone time

    the managers would gladly deal with an unruly customer and the grunts are disposable and need to do what they're told so if the manager says "we cannot do that", the they cannot do that

    the whole purpose is to make it FAST food so unnecessary steps like adding bbq sauce to a burger is avoided to speed up the process

    if the bbq sauce is added to the order the line is slowed down by a lot and the other customers in line get mad because now they have to wait for YOUR food and they'll think like the people here that you're an idiot for not being able to add your own damn sauce

    Except for Burger King. TC, believe me when I tell you all Burger Kings hire the dumbest people on the planet. Everytime I show up it's more for the entertainment factor of what they can pull off next than it is getting the actual food.

    I was left alone for 25 mins one time at a drive through. Honked my horn twice. Manager came over and asked me if I ordered yet. I said I received my drink but my food hadn't come yet.

To top it all off I was late to work because I was stuck there for so long.

    You think interrupting someone just to go 2 seconds faster is an efficient decision?


    2 seconds? Maybe your simple nugget order will take 2 seconds, but when people want to customize everything in their order, I'm not waiting for it to finish to then say "ok, now repeat the entire thing back to me because you didn't tell me the size first and I don't want to get it wrong". That's extremely rude to them and all the people waiting behind them because them continuing to talk is a waste of time for everyone, and that time can add minutes to the transaction if I let them continue. That's time where I can't input anything into the machine so I'll try and remember everything I can to make the recap shorter, and we will be doing a recap (which is a waste of time). When workers don't do the recap and try and just remember the entire thing, that's when your order might be wrong. Reminder that this entire issue can be solved by just moving a single word from your order from the end to the front. That's what good customers do, they learn how to order correctly so they can make the employees lives easier, then the employees are nice back and might even give you some extra stuff for free or added discounts, I've done it tons of times to nice customers. But if your a bad customer, getting mad at me because I missed the "no ice" while trying to memorize your $50 order you said in a weird way, making me delete stuff and adding them back and remembering all the customization involved in it, no free stuff, no discounts, full price, have a nice day. 

    And if the person can't even remember to tell me the size of an item that always has sizes no matter where they go (like soda), then they likely didn't give me all the information for everything in their order. So we're going to end up going through everything one by one so I can get all the information needed. In 6 years of working in fast food, no one ever complained about being interrupted for information because it makes everything go faster and easier, plus it reduces on mistakes a ton. I rarely ever had mistakes. And if someone was on the phone at my counter, I would gladly interrupt them to ask questions, and most of them apologized.
