I could have slept for an hour while ordering food.....  |
|
This is not bashing anyone, but I am just trying to share or express an experience which happened just this afternoon when I and my niece when to this popular "fast" food restaurant that badly needs to change its name. Imagine waiting for something like over an hour before my order will be taken. "Fast" food, huh? So I was waiting next to this woman who was not sure of what she was going to order. She kept on asking the new food crew who also kept on asking her fellow crew for the answers to the woman's queries. Of course, we know about every customer's right to know about the product she was going to buy, but this one was going too far. She simply did not know what to order. She was asking the new sales person if this and that were spicy, if this food and that food comes with a drink or not, if that food is beef or pork, and she was thinking and thinking, not able to decide what to order. So in the meantime I was waiting, I was very sure of what I was going to order, so I asked the sales girl if I could go to the next cashier, but I was told that the sales girl taking the order was the only one on duty. Wow, and this salesgirl taking the order was also being dictated by another girl who was training her. So the scenario was this: a trainee practicing how to operate the machine and also not familiar with the products they are selling, and a customer who does not know what to order and is taking her years to decide. I could have slept during the entire waiting period, not to mention the fact that I was ready to collapse from waiting. I was sure of my order while this woman wasn't and it was taking her forever to decide!
Can't these so-called "fastfood" restaurants give faster service? Why not have a separate line for customers who are "undecided" and another line for those who are "sure" or "decided" with their orders. Those who still need a lot of time to decide on what to order should not fall on the same line with those who know and are sure of what they have to order. This will save people a lot of their precious time.

1. psyche49f (2200) | 8 months ago | You should have took off to another restaurant where food prepared is real fast....they should know your complaint, at least the manager or the owner so the slow moving girl taking the order will be given the treatment that she deserves. So did you order, or did you transfer to another food outlet offering better service? Modern business now is dictated by the customers, not by the salesgirl or waitress, or not even the owner. So, we have the freedom to choose the establishment that offers the best service...

2. underdogtoo (8736) | 8 months ago | I would not waste my time on such a place but then again, you might like the food but not the service. Still, I would immediately take a hike and find another one faster. Cheers!!

5. my125125 (673) | 8 months ago | If I am facing your situation, I won't waiting so long to order my food, I will change my mind go to another fast food restaurant. For me I will wait for 15 minutes not an hour to order my food in fast food restaurant.

6. jellymonty (1404) | 8 months ago | I feel your pain.. I hate slow service fast food places.. I have had several instances like yourself when the person in front of you can't decide what they want and they are wasting everyone's time. So I have decided that if nobody attends to me withing five minutes of me entering their premises (unless its a long que), I just leave and go to the next available fast food place. But such places should be shut down for lousy customer service.. I can't stand lousy customer service.. I'm spending my money so I desrve some good quality service...

7. drknlvly6781 (3163) | 6 months ago | I am not really sure if this is limited to my country. I really take it for granted as normal procedure. Usually in a restaurant when you have a manager training an employee they will have a second register open. Even if they did have the manager and trainee out front to begin with, a restaurant will usually go as far as to pull an employee out of the kitchen to open a second register when there is a line forming.
I would send a complaint to the hotline. They should have one listed on their bag if this is a "Fast" food chain. Note the date, time, and location of the restaurant if you do decide to take this route.
