Im guessing you go late at night and there are rarely people there? the mcdonalds i go to usually has at least 5 cars no matter what time so theyre always in pay at the first then drive to the second window mode.

also it appears several people have angerpush on ignore (dont blame them) or else are bad at reading

another strange thing about wendy's - they had a sign saying their tomato supply was low becasue of some freeze and that tomatoes would be given by request only.

i have never heard about this in any other restaurant - except i did remember hearing this a couple years ago - and it was another sign at a different wendy's.

anyone else come across this anywhere?

This is way too simple and makes too much sense. So of course it's what they would want you to think.

the wendy's I go to is between two streets, so the drive through window is perpendicular one of them, with the lane parallel to the street, separated by a curb, so no pulling around scams at that one.

It doesn't make sense though because there was nobody else in line, and they DO have sensors; I've been in a car that was asked to back up and pull forward again, for whatever reason, because they didn't set the sensor off.

One time the Anti-Christ ("Erik") served me five double cheeseburgers at a Wendy's in Southwest Houston. True story.

Listen the scams that go on at fast food restaurants is nothing compared to the scams servers pull at restaurants.

I know a kid when someone else pays cash he would keep the check open untill some semi senile person pays with credit card than run the credit card on both checks and pocket the cash, now I think that's scummy.

But I did to my fair share of coupon scams cuz quite frankly it doesn't hurt anyone. The corporate restaurant wants the coupons in circulation to be used and it doesn't hurt the guest. So I might do coupons or roll checks but some scumbags basically commit credit card fraud for like 50 dollars(stupid imo)

do this like 10 times a night, it's an extra 40-50 bucks per shift, which is a lot when you only make 40-50 bucks a shift.

yeah thats almost the same thing what i did. everytime some had the right amount of money and didnt get a change i just waited until he turned and put it in my pocket. some cook didnt like me and almost busted me

Fast food tomatoes suck anyway, and after getting spray diarrhea from jimmy john's sprouts this year, I'm almost done with fast food vegetables all together. Almost.

Every time I'm stuck behind a mini-van ordering for 5 kids, I get real pissed at them and think, "They really should be going inside to order."

But then I thought about it, and there's no way I'm bringing 5 kids inside just to order and take it home. So I always catch myself after I get angry.
