Well to be fair, that's 16 whole addresses. You can't expect random interns/marketing idiots to get all of those right, can you?

Our BK employed what looks like an ex-con at night here. Last night I got their tenders and he said it'd be 5 minutes. His boss leaves and he speaks to the window and slides me a double cheeseburger and goes "since you gotta wait my man" and then this long crackhead laugh missing teeth. Might be my favorite employee

I stopped at Wendy's late last night; nearly 10pm. Worked all day, then covered a class until after 9pm. I was burnt completely out and didn't want to cook when I got home (and I had to get up at 4am today)
Go through drive-thru. Slow as SHIT. 5+ minutes later, with other cars pulled off to the side, they hand me my food.
Look in bag. I ordered a #2 large and 2 double stacks. Burgers are there, but no fries. I'm like "Duuuude...Fries? No fries?"
Guy grabs bag, takes it back to grill area, grabs fries, is shoving fries into my bag while walking back to window. He hands the bag back, and I'm still sitting there like "WTF?" but trying not to stare.
And it's always this same shitty ass Wendys, too. They always miss order items, never ask for condiments, hell they never even say thank you or anything like that. And it will be these motherfuckers complaining that they don't get paid $15

Am I crazy, or was fast food this bad 20-30yrs ago?
In a way I prefer fast-casual, especially if you can watch them prepare your meal, and then you get your meal clearly presented on a tray.
Instead you get some knucklehead just throwing random shit into a bag without even bothering to check to see if the entire order is correct or not.

I think the golden years were around the late 90s early 00s, they were trying to get out of that garbage tier food image and actually put out some spectacular items. Then they made a fortune and decided they liked money more than making quality food.
I really miss late JiB and Taco Bell from that era. Chili Cheese burrito, Frito burrito, Quality meat in a sourdough jack, Chicken Fajita pita.

I worked at McDs. Before microwaves. Food was so much better. Biscuits were all made from scratch instead of being tossed into the oven frozen. Chicken Fajitas were so bomb. Actually searing the burger patties by hand instead of the "clamshells" that you just put the frozen patties under and then they smashed them while they cooked.
I gave so much free food to friends. Order 6 cheeseburgers? More like 12 cheeseburgers. Though to be fair it was mostly the food that was close to timing out, and we'd have to throw away anyways. Such a fucking win/win

The Taco Bell I worked at was right across the street from Central Michigan University, notorious party school, and I was on the drive-thru window Thursday-Saturday night. Many times had girls ask "if I show you my tits can I get free food?" or guys offer to hit their joint for free food. And every time I'd just give them a bag full of cinnamon twists that were already expired anyway. Good times.
Cinnamon twists went into the cabinet earmers with stickers on then stating when they expire... Store manager made us relabel them with new stickers instead of throwing them out and making new ones. Was shady as hell, but honestly they truly were good for longer than the official policy claimed...

I've mentioned this multiple times so I won't go into detail again, but when I worked at Taco Bell during high school, from 1985-87, every single item save olives, tortillas, and the sauces were made from fucking scratch. Literally 10 lb bags of ground beef that we'd brown and mix in sauce, refried beans that actually started as dry beans and got put into a pressure cooker, cheese that started as a giant block, lettuce that came as heads of lettuce, etc. And even the fucking olives came in a can as whole pitted olives, and we had to slice every goddamn one of them!
With everything coming pre-made in a bag now, the taste difference is so vast that I eventually have soured on going there much anymore, and it was without a doubt my favorite fast food ever. I've eaten thousands and thousands of enchiritos in my lifetime. If I ever win the lottery bigly, like the 1 billion currently up tonight, I might just buy a franchise with the agreement that I can source all of my own food myself, instead of the big giant Sysco truck, and start a revolution of "Throwback Taco Bells". I bet if it was in the right location, people would pay a bit more for the real shit once they tasted it. And I'd take lessons on hiring and treating my employees right from In 'n' Out and Chick Fil'a.

there is a place near me here in NJ, called Tops Diner. probably the best diner i have been to in the last 20 years. even food critics love it.
One of the 21 best diners in the country is in N.J., website says
anyway, the place is crazy busy, waiting over an hour for a table is common. the parking is non existent. but still its all worth it. been going there since the 80s and in the last ten years i only ever order no matter the time is.
