Burger Punks

[Pekka]

I just got home, from fast food joint, getting a meal.
Don't ask why, I rarely go to these places because the food is horrible.

AANYWAY. I was so damn frustrated with the place, I almost wanted to see the manager and ask if I could have this losers place. I was getting my food from Drive-In. There was TWO cars before me, and they were when I arrived. It took 12 minutes(!!!!!!!!!!) that I finally got mine. 12 freaking minutes! And it's not like the ones before me ordered huge, they had small bags meaning one or two meals. 12 minutes. That's just horrible. Fast Food? More like SLOW food.

The services was non-existent. I don't need people hugging my sacks, but jeesh.. this dude didn't say ONE WORD TO ME! Except 'want ketchup?' He didn't say thanks even. Nothing. NOTHING! Not even eye contact.
SO, it's not like the service is any good.

And the meal costed me.. guess? 7.10 euros! GOD DAMN! 7 ERUOSSSS 10 cents! ANd with this money I get slow ass service, sorry, no service at all, no nothing. I got home, opened the bag. Fries were already cold and WET, I drove only 5 minutes. It was packed WRONG, and the coke started leaking. The burger was ok, warm and all, except that it had so much mayonese, it was like defusing a nuke. One bite wrong and you have 9 liters of mayo in your hands, pants and eyes.


Last week, I visited this Kebab place.. I think the dude is Hassan or something like that. HAssan makes me Kebab meal, a big one and tasty with 5 euros. He talks to me a lot, and smiles. It doesn't take long for him to make it and it's more of a meal than something you get out from drive-in. He plays that weird arabian music, but that's ok, it's interesting. If he didn't violate all the possible hygiene codes, I'd prolly eat there more often.

Why should suburban kids give a damn about you?

[Pekka]

che, I'm not biting that again

[Provost Harrison]

I'd love people hugging my sacks

[Provost Harrison]

Don't go back there, especially if they read this thread, or next time you could have even more 'mayonnaise'

[Al B. Sure!]

you realize how much custom orders can slow things down? jackass customers come in and say, "I want a small fries with no salt!" so we got to drop new fries into the frier... that'll take 3 minutes just for some little fries.

and how about a cheesesteak with no onions! thats nearly a 10 minute delay having to cook more steak meat but with no onions.

it's not our fault. its the fault of the customers for making us have slow service by their idiocy.

and please don't change your order! people come in and say I want a Big Mac with no onions. that **** is being made that very second. Yet within seconds, the customer says no, 'just give me a cheeseburger!' in the space of those 10 seconds, the Big Mac with no onions has been made. it must now be thrown out and a new cheeseburger has to be made.

[Pekka]

And then there are these pizza guys, they make pizzas faster from scratch! And good ones too!

And if you order them to your place, they're fast too. If they are late even one minute, they'll give you something extra or a discount. These punks? Nothing.
They should have a sign 'IF YOU ARE UNHAPPY OF OUR QUALITY OF SERVICE, FEEL FREE TO PUNCH THE KID IN THE CASH REGISTER!'. I'd be eating there a lot.

[Pekka]

Albert Speer, that is a factor for sure, but there was only two or three customers inside, only two cars before me with small orders. It doesnt' justify ****! I would understand if they were very busy. AND even so, I'd still expect thanks, or something.. and not pay 7.10 for that.

and I didn't mean mcdonalds.. they have fast service usually and better service.

yep the fast food chains pretty much suck. I tend to eat at Various small places, such as Falafel and Shawarma joints. You can get stuffed for half the price of the fast food chain.

In uni, you can get an enormous real meal, on a real plate, with spoons, forks and knives ( all metal ones. I don't mind it, since it helps the enviroment. ), and a drink for a bit more than half the price in the fast food joint. ~ 4 Euros. god bless the Enviromental Engineering's canteen.

[Pekka]

Az, yeah, well since our Uni meal is only 2.55... that's like third the price. It's usually very good too.

[Starchild]

What is "want ketchup" in Finnish anyway?

[mrmitchell]

it's not our fault. its the fault of the customers for making us have slow service by their idiocy.

You're the employee, you're supposed to deal with it. The customer is always right.

that's real cheap. what do you get for it?

for 4 Euros, I could get:
-A portion of meat: lots of meat. two people could eat this. Can be: fried fish, meat balls, kebabs, chicken, shnitsel.

-Two additions of various carbohydrates Fries, Rice, Cuscus, Spaghetti, baked potatoes.

-Salad.

-a bottle or a can of a soft drink.

I am dying after a meal like that!

[Pekka]

it's cheap yeah. We get:

basically a full meal with salad. There are usually 2 options you can choose from and then fill your plate with it.

You get to have bread with it, there are different kinds and they're fresh..

You get to have water as much as you'd like to drink, and juice. No soft drinks ((((((((( I'd kill for a coke.. (and that's 1.4 euros...half liter Graah!!!).

The food is sometimes kind of weird, there's rarely real meat, fries I have never seen.. but usually potatoes and.. well it's pretty good usually. I'm happy, it's cheap and it's real food.
