Comments on: A Cinderella Story http://skippyslist.com/2008/10/28/i-need-a-title/ The Official Site of Skippy's List: military humor and other things that make Skippy giggle for more than 15 seconds Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:09:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Chris http://skippyslist.com/2008/10/28/i-need-a-title/comment-page-1/#comment-32704 Chris Sat, 21 Mar 2009 05:20:02 +0000 http://skippyslist.com/?p=272#comment-32704 As a former fast food worker, I can tell you that it's not the fault of the person working drive through. One of the big things that management insists on is that order times are kept down no matter what - ditto on drive through window time. A lot of managers take this to mean that if your order isn't ready immediately, you go and pull forward; and they'll also mark incompleted orders as complete in order to make the time run faster. You try to print out an extra receipt and stick it somewhere so you can double check on the order and they'll be idiots about it and remove the damn thing. So no, don't go yelling at the person who was supposed to make your food. They probably did everything they could to make sure the food got to you, but three orders later if management has removed all mention of your order then gotten on to them about something else (say, cleaning the food prep area or helping with an order on front) most people are going to forget, considering the fact that the work does wear you down mentally after a few hours with all the things you have to remember/do. By all means though, do yell at management and voice your complaints to the manager's boss - however, ask WHO owns the restaurant. Many chains do franchising, so just because it's a certain brand doesn't mean that that company owns it, and in that case they don't have the direct say that you expect them to.
