wow, juices are real cheap around your places.

Your canteen is probably subsidized.

[Pekka]

This is how it goes:
eatable
pretty good
excellent

It's always some of these..

[Pekka]

What subsidized mean?

[Az]

it means that the university is helping the canteen financially.

We don't have any juices. and juicy fruit probably cost much less around here, but we still don't get them.

[Pekka]

Yes it's subisizied then.

Well the juice is always kind of.. no orange juice
But it's ok.

Juice in general is not expensive here.

[Az]

do you have mangoes?

[Pekka]

No.. no mangoes..

[Az]

Ahhh, then, it isn't worth it. j/k, but you really should try mangoes. best fruit juice, by far.

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.

No, that's the fault of the outlet and the staff for being completely inflexible to the needs of the customer.

Hey Pekka, no offense, and I'm not judging you, but do you realize you are always having a conflict with someone? Is your neighboorhood bad or something?

Just curious....

fast food sucks

I once waited like 10 minutes at Wendy's late at night.

What the hell are they doing at 12:00 midnight?

In any case, I had to quit fast food to lose weight anyways. no big loss, as it doesn't taste all that great. No sense waiting 10 mintues for bad food.

I try and avoid fast food, I'd rather eat proper food myself

Huh? I go down to Habib's or Nino's or Fuji or Raj Mahal and they whip up a custom made to order meal in no time flat. Maybe the fault is with your antiquated mass production system which is inherently unable to deal with customer preference. It's not the jackass customers, its your jackass system.

I guess that's why the Micky D's in my neighborhood always has plenty of seats available.

Fast food standards aren't realistic. The current marker for BK is 2 1/2 minutes for an order. This would be fine if the restaurant has enough volume to afford multiple employees. Lower volume restaurants are running skeleton crews, minimum management and the service shows. Not that the food, friendliness, or cleanliness in our franchise is lacking, but SOS (speed of service) is terrible. What's the difference? It's fairly easy to figure. Breakfast dayparts have minimal special orders, as well as a smaller menu. During this time SOS is easily achieved. All other dayparts are well over 2:30, due to the high number of special orders.
At this point, with fast food trying to compete against casual diners with a more varied menu, and with minimum-wage employees, basic atmosphere, bad rep for quality, service, and heathiness, along with higher expectations for SOS, the problems with fast food are only going to get worse.

Maybe the fault is with your antiquated mass production system which is inherently unable to deal with customer preference. It's not the jackass customers, its your jackass system.

There are quite a few problems with the system, the main one being unable to cope with special orders. I've put in my solution to the problem but so far corporate isn't willing to listen to any ideas that aren't it's own.

Fast food is totally on the way out

The "in between" Boston Market type model now rules the day

We are seeing franchise restaurants here in Cali pop up all over the place that are delivering very high quality, HEALTHY food at a fast pace

The food is way higher quality but the speed of service is still just as fast as burger joints

Of course you will normally pay up to $10 for one of these meals but the price is so worth it.
