hire some damn english-speaking persons to work your fuckin counter. it shouldn't take a translator for the mexicans to realize what a "fish sandwich with tartar sauce" is.

i'm fine with the hispaniards working for the DOT, etc. but keep em the hell away from jobs where they must actually COMMUNICATE with us english-speaking american citizens. that shit annoys me probably more than anything.

in other news, the wendy's panko-breaded fish fillet is 10/10. though i don't buy its all from the north pacific...

carry on.

the north pole isn't north enough for arctic cod

3/23/2009 5:06:50 PM

3/23/2009 5:08:10 PM

chicken sandwich?

3/23/2009 5:10:58 PM

ok here's the dialogue:

me: premium fish fillet combo with tartar sauce plz!

the hispaniard: burger?

me: no, premium fish fillet combo. with tartar sauce

the hispaniard: (blank stare)

me: (points at sign)

hispaniard: ah!

me: and i want the Caesar salad, and a dr pepper

i walked away with my combo, which included the sandwich, fries, a coke, and some mustard.

3/23/2009 5:15:55 PM

oh so you actually got what you wanted?


how bout bl4x0r workers that repeat your order back to you, but still get it wrong

3/23/2009 5:16:59 PM

dweedle got extra cheese on his wendys by mistake and was stomping around all pissed like the guy outside the phone booth in dumb and dumber


OOOH IT MAKES ME MAD I ALMOST LIKE IT

3/23/2009 5:18:21 PM

lol, i hate those.

and no, i didn't get what i ordered. i wanted the salad instead of fries, dr. pepper instead of coke. and i wanted some damn tartar sauce.

i decided to be thankful they got the sammich.

3/23/2009 5:18:23 PM

i aint gonna lie, that's exactly what i was like

3/23/2009 5:20:46 PM

So you were mad enough to make a thread about it but not mad enough to talk to the manager and actually do something about it.

3/23/2009 5:20:52 PM

ive made threads about a single itch on my nuts before

so i dont see the logic with that

3/23/2009 5:21:47 PM

I kinda like the suspense of seeing what percentage of your order they fuck up

If its less than 50 percent, I don't mind

but if they fuck up more than half my order, I'll retort

3/23/2009 5:23:09 PM

Next time try and work on your own communication skills.

When you're talking to someone who you think might not know the language you're speaking in well (I assume any fast food worker regardless of how they look fits into this category), you need to not use any erroneous adjectives and ask for one thing at a time.

First mistake was using the word Premium. Despite the fact that it is called that on the menu, they are much more likely to recognize "Fish Sandwich Combo" or even more simply "Fish Combo" than "Premium Fish Fillet Combo". If a person doesn't know the first word you speak in a sentence, then they are very likely to get stuck on that first word.

Then ask for Tartar sauce after they are already done entering in the Fish Combo. Don't put the Salad substitution and the drink in the same sentence.

I agree restaurants should make sure the upfront employees can speak passable English and understand most adjectives which a customer might use to describe their order.

by george, i think you've got it!!!

the wrong order wasn't what pissed me off. it wasn't that big of a deal. i was just pissed that they would hire someone to work in a position that requires speaking english.

^i agree with you for the most part. however, the meal is called a "premium fish fillet combo." if they don't know what that is, then i feel they do not meet the requirements for the job.

i like when i've predicted a fuckup right there at the window, and presented it back to them

happened 4-5 times while i was working in W'boro

3/23/2009 5:24:25 PM

so you wanted to buy some cheap as fuck fish so you get pissed off because the service is poor? shitty service is a fact of life if you plan on paying 5 bucks for some fish that's remotely edible.

DOUCHE.

3/23/2009 5:25:17 PM

I asked for extra pickles at chik fil a last week and they gave me a fry container with like 45 pickles in it and leaking everywhere all over the bag

Next time I'm gonna be like "Extra pickles ON MY FUCKING SANDWICH"

3/23/2009 5:26:12 PM

It has been a while since I've eaten any fast food, but I've turned into that douchebag who checks all the food before leaving the drive thru window.

3/23/2009 5:26:18 PM

im unable to put in the exact words when i order...(alluding to you saying PREMIUM with this fish stuff)

if i didn't agree that bojangles chicken strips were fucking supreme, i would not call them supremes when i ordered them

3/23/2009 5:27:15 PM

so dweedle preemptively officially calls them out on a fuck up before he even knows a fuck up has occured

what happens on the rare occasion they got it right ?

do you insist they fucked up anyway to save face ?

Or do you say GG and drive the fuck off ?

3/23/2009 5:28:07 PM

this is why i like chickfila drive thrus

no, you stupid piece of shit. i was pissed that the person who handles the orders couldn't speak english. it wasn't bad service, they were very quick with it.

and i didn't even call them out on getting the order wrong.

DOUCHE.

3/23/2009 5:29:08 PM

sometimes i am reluctant to make a specific order in drive thru based on its success rate in the past

the fact that i dont want cheese on my burger is mind-boggling to 70% of Burger King's workers, so I will take my chances with a default order, like the chicken tenders or chicken fries



the only thing i ever check at the drive thru is that my burger is right, and i try to do it while im waiting for my credit card to be given back...if its ok, then i put it back in the bag, if they are super fast and ready for me to drive off, then ill pull up about 30 feet and then check, i hate this though because i gotta walk into the place to get it corrected

you are kind of a fag for saying PREMIUM fish fillet

like if you didn't specify they would have served you the one that had been marinating in their jock

3/23/2009 5:30:55 PM

ya never know...

3/23/2009 5:31:29 PM

just gotta speak real clear to them like

DO NOT PUT CHEESE ON THAT MOTHERFUCKER

they understand it more clearly when you swear

3/23/2009 5:33:35 PM

i went to a DQ and they have this certain ice cream dessert, but its named like "oreo mountain awesome blast fudge rocket" or something

so ill just point to the menu, "that oreo thing" and they will say ah the ""oreo mountain awesome blast fudge rocket"...and im like "yea that"

God help the person that ever enjoys their job enough to make me say it if i want it

3/23/2009 5:34:13 PM

the more cheese i request to not be put on it, the more cheese they will put on it

so is the flag flying backwards in the picture some statement? or did the person who made that not know that static flag images/displays are always supposed to have the stars on the upper left corner?

3/23/2009 5:36:02 PM

I hate people who go to fast food places and ask the cashier what they would recommend

Its normal to do at nice sit down places, hell even outback or chilis

but if you go to Hardees and ask some 16 year old mexican what he would recommend

you are a stupid fuck

3/23/2009 5:36:14 PM

the eagle is looking at a reflection of a flag behind him

and we are seeing what the eagle is seeing, but eagles are vampies and dont have reflections




i hate when a whole family of WASPs goes to a fast food place and glares at the menu and discusses amongst themselves what each is going to get

dweedle is like "NO CHEESE"

dude is like "EXTRA CHEESE ?"

dweedle is like "NO, NO CHEESE"

dude is like "aight"

dweedle gets his burger...fuckin 6 slices of cheese

3/23/2009 5:38:14 PM

i had to eat the shit like a taco, since the top bun had a block of cheese on it

3/23/2009 5:59:33 PM

its that fucking commercial

yeah i know its macdonalds but same difference

3/23/2009 6:02:23 PM

did you ever take that fish out of the fridge

3/23/2009 6:03:16 PM

i ate it when i got back lol

do want.

I <3 Chickfila

I go to Chickfila on Saturday nights and buy a original chicken sandwich...take it home, isolate the bun from the chicken. Saran wrap the bun and put it on the counter and refrigerate the chicken and eat it on Sunday...not as good but it satisfies the Sunday cravings!

3/23/2009 6:12:30 PM

i predict dweedle and slave famous are bored!

double stack no pickles

3/23/2009 9:37:27 PM

I don't eat fast food much anymore, but back in the day...

I usually didn't mind when they screwed the order up. I'd be like, whatev tastes good yo.

But then sometimes I would cry and make everybody uncomfortable.

AHAHA

3/23/2009 9:41:37 PM

Goddamn Jim Bob americapants is really busting down the fucking door to work at Wendy's so your stupid ass can shoot the shit about monster trucks while you order your shitty PREMIUM fish head sandwich. I wonder why they gave the job to that other guy instead?
