How Can A Restaurant Run Out Of...

wendys= ran out of potatoes..

pizza hut= ran out of stuffed crust and hand tossed dough.. but yet had dough for thin and pan..

jack in the box= potatoes and salad (and we are talking EVERY TIME i go there)

taco bell= epanada (every time i go there)

wtf?? how do they expect to stay in business running out of the most common things they serve? dough.. potatoes.. GRR!!

whats the craziest thing that you have gone to a place to eat that they didnt have?

Haha, I know what you mean.
I went to dominos for my 40 minute lunch, and they didn't have any more personal pizza. They said they were not making more anytime soon, so I had to go somewhere else. I was like "WHATHATATA???" As I can see, it angered a lot of people also. So yea, thats my lunch story haha

they could have offered you like a portion of a full size one that would have equlitated the same amount

My son had one of those Book It things that they give the kids at school for reading and I took him to use it one time and they were out of personal pan pizza dough. We ordered a large pizza instead and they took the price of a personal pan pizza off of my total.

thats cool.. they should have figured out how to do something like that with other places.. but no one seems to want to even try

This was years and years ago when I was younger but it was that memorable. Our dad took us, the family, out to this "fancy" restaurant. We were all excited as this is the first time we went to that place until we got to the ordering part. Almost everything we wanted, they didn't have it or weren't serving it at that moment. Why would you put it in the menu then? We ended up walking out of the place and had dinner at a cheaper and casual place.

I pulled into a KFC drive thru at NOON and guess what... You guessed it, NO CHICKEN! There will be a 20-30 minute wait, and the place was not busy. Come to think of it, there was almost no one there... Wonder why? I was so pissed off I needed a box of chicken for one of the boys football picnics. I was assigned 20 pieces fried chicken, had the week from hell, and decided that KFC would have to bail me out. NOT angryangryangry

i went to kfc for their bbq sandwhich and they were out of chicken too


masquedxangel (87)   ranked 3,078 out of 5,392 in eating  1 year ago

I used to work at KFC. You think it sucks for you - it's way more frustrating for those of us who had to work there. The cook's job is to keep an eye on the chicken and start making more when it's getting low. Usually, the cashiers have to babysit them. Unfortunately when it gets to be busy and we can't... we run out of chicken. It used to irk me so badly when I would get yelled at because the cook couldn't do their frickin' job.


myLot reputation of 95/100. redkathy (1787)   ranked 28 out of 5,392 in eating  1 year ago

Well something is wrong with the management of the place if cooks can't cook and count at the same time! I hear what you are saying about getting yelled at. I was a waitress for about 15 years. Until I became dining room manager and had some authority over the kitchen I too would get yelled at for late or cold food.

I guess in each and every establishment problems do occur like that. One of the biggest problem that they could encounter is that they would have problem with their suppliers that their operation would be severely cut and they are forced to have these dishes offered lesser than they should. Well we as customers do not understand that at times, we always think that they must have their endless supply of the good they sell.


myLot reputation of 96/100. moonlitmagikchild (7144)   ranked 42 out of 5,392 in eating  1 year ago

i could see running into this problem very few times but im always running into this problem and with such a different range of types of food.. it if was all hamburger places i could see

5. myLot reputation of 95/100. pheonixstar1982 (1298)   ranked 289 out of 5,392 in eating   1 year ago

My best answer for that is this...they order based on sales. Sales are unpredictable so when a place runs out of epanada's or stuff crust pizza its because there orders surpassed the sales they calculated for. Or what if a shipment was late?? Its rare that i go to a place and there out of something, but when i worked at a McDonald's we ran out of ice. Why because the machine wasn't making it fast enough that people were using it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. moonlitmagikchild (7144)   ranked 42 out of 5,392 in eating  1 year ago

ice i can understand due to the machine sucking sometimes

Oh my gosh, that bothers me so much. I went to taco bell one time and I wanted a chicken quesadilla, because that is all I eat from there. (I don't eat beef) And they were out of the chicken! How is that even possible. They should be prepared for everything. And twice in a row I went to Burger King to find that they were out of Cini Minis. Ok, if it happens once, don't you think they would know to buy more next time? Ahh...


myLot reputation of 96/100. moonlitmagikchild (7144)   ranked 42 out of 5,392 in eating  1 year ago

you would think.. my hubby reminded me after i had started this of when we went to arbys and they had run out of roast beef..*head to desk* thats all they sell!!

A new rest. opened up here and i thought i'd try them out since they were just down the lock from my store..so i ordered a turkey sand... which came with fried Potatoes..well they were out of turkey..(1st day opened)and the potatoes were burnt..i wound up with a bLT and that wasn't very good either...I tried to give them another chance and this time they were out of lasagne so never went back..I always called right when they opened so they couldn't have run out yet..just bad management..they closed after 6 months..I'm amazed they lasted that long..now its a bar..


myLot reputation of 96/100. moonlitmagikchild (7144)   ranked 42 out of 5,392 in eating  1 year ago

its amazing how much places can get away with bad management.. im sure the thing helping the places i have gone is that they are a chain and the volume outweighs the problems.. still not good though

Well.. Taco Bell ran out of meat. I was there with 4 kids too and had spent the last 10 minutes in line trying to figure out what they each wanted. Of course what everybody wanted included GROUND BEEF, which they ran out of!! We left because one of them was about to have a tantrum over having to get CHICKEN instead. I don't know why they did not tell everybody in line before we got to the counter that they were frigging out of meat.

I have been to Wendy's and heard them say they have no more potatoes, also chili. I went to Applebees one time and ordered french onion soup. Not only did my WAITER NEVER COME BACK, when I complained and a manager arrived, she told me they were out of french onion! Why didn't the first waiter bother to mention that??


myLot reputation of 96/100. moonlitmagikchild (7144)   ranked 42 out of 5,392 in eating  1 year ago

i have seen wendys run out of chili too.. how do you run out of french onion soup? its not that popular.. especially at a restaurant i would think

I know what you mean. The local pizza hut said they were out of personal pan pizzas. I told them that that was not exceptable. If they did not sale me a personal pan pizza I would not do business with them again. Suprize, them came up with a personal pan pizza for me. Talk about dishonisty!

If Pizza Hut is like Domino's they have a different set of dough for each type of crust. The handtossed is completely different from pan and thin crust. Just a random aside.

When I worked at KFC we were ALWAYS out of chicken and it drove me INSANE!


myLot reputation of 96/100. moonlitmagikchild (7144)   ranked 42 out of 5,392 in eating  1 year ago

hmm.. well arbys ran out of roast beef lol.. but for yours to keep running out is crazy
