You have to say sausage mcgriddle, only.
Or
Sausage mcgriddle, no egg, no cheese
You have to say it, like how they would input it in the computer
This is why they should be paid $20 /hr
Only say "sausage mcgriddle" (as was done multiple times) or say "sausage mcgriddle, only" (and have them think that's the only item being ordered)? But either way, no. How many times do you have to say the exact wording on their menu for them to understand "SAUSAGE MCGRIDDLE!" Said it like three times, only to have it be unrecognizable to them.
It's not like the time my boomer mom ordered a "plain ol hamburger" and they correctly asked "regular hamburger?" and she got flustered and said "I just want one of the small, plain hamburgers" and guess what, she got a regular hamburger with nothing on it, plain, and complained like they'd made the mistake until I set her straight. It's not even like the time my stoned friend hadn't updated his car's clock and it happened to be daylight savings time and he happened to be awake in time for breakfast for the first time in years and the person taking his order was very confused because he'd actually missed breakfast by 58 minutes.
I could understand if you tried to order a Bacon McGriddle, and they said 'bacon egg and cheese McGriddle? Because Bacon McGriddle isn't on their menu.... but Sausage McGriddle is. They were unable to recognize a verbatim order of an item from their menu. Not even "did you want egg and cheese on that?" But them not recognizing the words Sausage or McGriddle unless you also said egg and cheese. Mc... Guh....McGuh-ri...ddle? What is that? Oh, sausaugeeggandcheeseMcGriddle, why didn't you just say so!?
So, no, they don't deserve $20 and hour (not sure if you were serious or sarcastic, but either way, same rant follows). The entire shit industry needs to just fuck off and die if they can't provide an experience that resembles basic, sane human interaction. Up your standards, or up yours!
Places like McDonald's ran thousands of small, better mom-and-pop spots out of business only so we can end up with worse food, constantly fucked up by morons who then insinuate YOU are the problem when you're ordering exact items using exact wording from their menu. And, unsurprisingly, fast food isn't even cheap anymore, which was always the argument, now it's just as or more expensive than a small, local place would have been, only a shit experience in almost every way, almost all of the time.
Except for places like Chic-fil-a that prove you don't have to do everything in a shit-tier way. Meaning places like McDonald's are choosing to give a shit experience, with processed food they got busted for loading full of increasing amounts of unnecessary salt and sugar, that is sometimes good only because you crave a Sausage McGriddle, and the moron can't even recognize a direct, verbatim order from their menu.
Fucking Taco Bell at this point costs more to feed my girlfriend and I than a taco truck that is amazingly good food, remembers your name, is often faster even with as long a line, fresh made food, etc. And Taco Bell of course gets rid of everything good so the only thing edible anymore are basic bean burritos, but don't add sour cream because they'll either forget to add it, or it'll be in one clump at the end. And cheesy bean and rice, add beef, add potatoes (now that they're back, what moron thought to discontinue potatoes). But of course my local Taco Bells are so full of Mexicans the ones taking orders barely speak English, buuuuut they can't manage roll a fucking burrito in any way that resembles food. Here's your vaguely mexican oat-meat folded square of food product! (partial bait for someone to 'aktually' that burritos are actually American, no Mexican, so I can point out you know these people in their 40s working fast food have been in America for decades, so are familiar with burritos, but still haven't learned to speeka tha Engrish).
