What was your worst drive through experience? Maybe they messed up your order? Or your car broke down? I have the worst experiences, they never get my food right!
I once went to a taco place and asked for my tacos with hardshells, with no lettuce but extra cheese. You will never believe what the guy gave me! He gave me two hard shelled tacos with cheese...no meat! Are these even considered "tacos" now? I was upset because I was very hungry but I still had to laugh.

My worst drive through experience was when I borrow the minibus from work, which I used to drive. I forgot how big it was and on the way home from work decided to pop in and get McDonalds. The road round to the counter, is a sharp right bend and then another on the way out. I got to the first bend, and managed to clip a bollard. 
luckily without much damage but embarrassing. Then after getting my order I tried to get out the other end and round the next bend. Due to clipping the bollard on the first bend I decided to try and swing the minibus out a bit to avoid the next one, and found I got the minibus stuck trying to get round. I ended up with 2 cars after me that had there orders too and couldn't get out, and they needed to reverse so I could swing back and forth and finally get out.
It was a very embarrassing experience, and I never took the minibus there again. In fact I didn't go back for ages, not even in my own car, for fear they might recognise me.

That's funny.lol. Don't worry, it's not your fault! They make those drive throughs way to small. Sometimes, I am 3 ft away from the window because of the way it's set up. I have to actually get out to pay!

Every trip to my local McDonald's is a nightmare. Does anyone in there know what extra ice means? Geez, don't pull away from the window without checking your order because you can bet the order isn't right. Our local Taco Bell made the news--that's right--the 6 o'clock news for being the slowest fast food drive thru in our area. It took a minium of 11 minutes to get your order from them no matter how far back in line you were. I think it's because the majority of the employees are kids now.

Yes, I do think it is the ages of the employees. Alot of the fast food places around me are employeed by teens. They seem to have much more on their minds than the orders! A few times I've waited at the window for my order while the girl employees were in there joking around and laughing. Thanks for the response!
