Have you ever gone through a drive through and find that after a certain point, the cashier seems to be annoyed?
Working in fast food for a while I get annoyed at certain things that can be avoided.
I'm going to give you a little insight.
-Have your money ready. Or atleast your wallet out. Especially if there is a small wait. Nothing bothers me more than watching our serve times go up while you fish your money out of your pocket or purse.
-PLEASE don't hand me your money in a wad. -_-
- don't be clever and call me by the name on my name tag. It's not clever.
-if you want your food special ie: no pickles ect, then tell me while placing your order, not as I'm handing you your food. I know we forget sometimes but it seems people are making a habit out of it.
- if your ordering a large amount of something, call ahead and let us know.
- don't hit on me.
- KNOW WHAT YOU WANT! nothing makes us happier than a customer that knows what they want.
- know what size and drink! 9/10 times, when you order a meal there will be an option of sm,med, or large of fries and drink.
- tell me when you are finished. There are times where we ask "will that be all for you?" Multiple times in an order, we wont keep asking so we don't seem rude. So don't just sit there waiting for me to ask if your done. Finish your order with "that's all"
- if its raining, turn off you wipers at the window(s)
- if you have a large loud truck, turn it off.
- no,there is not ketchup in your bag, and it won't be unless you ask for it.
- if we sell wings and you know that we can't do all of a certain piece then don't ask us to do it anyway. We might just put in all of the other instead.
- I do not need to say "ok" after every solitary item you order, if I tell you that you can order than I'm listening to you.
- sometimes your change will be wrong. It's not because we are trying to short you, its because we are human and we make mistakes.
- if we check that your bill is real, don't tell me that you just made it. It gets old after the first time we hear it.
- if I check that your bill is real, don't laugh at me because its "obviously" real. I'm securing my job by doing what I'm supposed to.
- don't pour your old drink onto our drive through. Unless its water, it will attract ants, making it a pain in the ass to clean later.
- no, we won't throw away your garbage. That's why we have trash cans outside! So dont come through and hand me your trash saying " can you throw this away for me"
- we are making your food so take the time to atleast acknowledge me. Don't be on your phone, smoking a cigarette, with your hand slightly out of the window waiting for me to put your stuff in your hand and then just drive away.
- don't smoke when coming through. It makes us gag.
I'm sure I will be adding more as I think of them. Please take these things into consideration the next time you go to a drive through.
