Do you check your order?

No, unfortunately I do not check my order. I just make sure there are fries and a burger or whatever I ordered. As far as the condiments I just wait to gripe when I get back home or to work and it is wrong. LOL! My husband is picky too! He checks his before he will let me leave the window. How embarassing is that?

HI Kats: that's funny, I am also quite picky and I for sure always check my
order before I leave the place, if I don't sure enough when I get home it will
be wrong; I don't like all that "extra stuff" on my food either (G)!!

Even on the rare occasion I order a pizza to be delivered and they bring it and the damn thing will be burned, yes burned so now when I call them IF I CALL THEM,
I tell them to NOT burn my pizza duh! and you know they see it when they slice
the pizza HELLO???? stupid morons!! I've made them come back to my place with
a fresh pizza one that is NOT burned!!

Haha i'm not so picky thankfully. Neither is my boyfriend.

However we eat generally in the car in the carpark, so if they DO get it wrong, we can always dash across and complain haha.

I always check to make sure I have the right number of items, but I don't actually open up the burger and check. I hope he called to complain so they can replace his order when he goes back. Even if it is not the same day, they should be willing to replace it the next time he goes in.

Since my daughter is the only one who orders things in a special way (the rest of us eat it with everything) we usually check it out first.

I have noticed that there are certain ways to word things that really help to get the order correct. First of all, my daughter likes only ketchup. If we say "cheeseburger with only ketchup" we will get one of two things. Either a cheeseburger swimming in ketchup or one that has everything. Maybe the phrase makes no impression on the cashier so we have switched to saying "only LIGHT ketchup". We have rarely had a mistaken order for her since.

Try an experiment. Instead of "one cheeseburger plain" or "one plain cheeseburger" (they may be thinking you mean regular instead of double or something else?) say "one cheeseburger with nothing on it". Now that I'm thinking of it, saying "one cheeseburger n*ked!" may really make an impression! I bet they won't get THAT order wrong!

I don't want mayonnaise on my hamburger, either. We do usually check our orders before leaving. They do often put the wrong thing on a sandwich or even put in the wrong ones! When I've been in a hurry, I've even got home without part of the order! So I've learned to check, at least do a 'look and see' in the sack before leaving a drive in window. I've paid for desserts and they'd fail to put them in. They apparently do not check behind each other.

hi

I trust the stuff, where I go usually is checked, so i do not have any problems.

But who knows, someday it will happen for sure.

Although it happened with the food I order from some catering company.

They mistaken our order, but we did not get mad on them.

I don't check my order and there are times when it makes me feel very frustrated and sometimes even angry when I don't get what I ordered. I on the other hand rarely make things special...which does cut down on mistakes.

A quick comment about your husband's burger...with no lettuce or tomatoes he misses out on the healthiest part of the burger! (If it really matters).

I'm not a really picky eater so i never really worry about it. I did have a friend like that though and he would always check his order before he even pulled away from the drive thru window. I guess you'd just have to say it in spanish or something depending on where you live. I know in my area it's all spanish that do fast food so it is usually messed up if you order your food with or without something. I guess that's the only suggestion i could give you is do it right there at the window and make everyone else wait.

yeah i check my order 90% of the time, I am a picky eater too. I think that people who ask to have a lot altered to their meal whether it is add or taking away certain items, are just asking for their meal to be incorrect eventually (several times!) Of course I would know because like I said, pick eater over here. It's good to check while you're still at the window eal quick. It's not worth driving home finding out you have something on your burger that you really don't want. It really does ruin the meal. You should always make sure youget what you pay for, too.
