Do You Check Your Bag Before You Leave The Drive-Thru Window?

I do. I guess it's a habit. My mom always did it and I started doing it too. I do it to make sure they got my order right. There's nothing worse than driving all the way home and opening your bag only to find out that you've wasted money on something you didn't order. A lot of people think it's weird that I do it, but it's like they say "Better safe than sorry."

Yes I do check my bag before leaving the drive through. I live far enough away. That if I make it home I will not turn around and go back. I will however call the manaement up at the place and give tem an ear full. If they don't care of it to my satisfaction, tha I go onlie and contact corperate. hat lways gets thir attention to correct things in a hurry. To avoid all that I just double check, if it is not all ther I look at my receipt o see if they charged me. If so, I mention I want what I paid or in a nice way. If the employee gets snippy or has an atitude about it. I get managament.

I always check before we pull away from the window. Sometimes you'll get a nice surprise and find out you actually got something better than what you ordered but usually it's something that you really, really don't like. I agree, better safe than sorry!

Your right, I used to just get my order and never look in the bag until I got home just to find that something that I ordered wasn't there. I live to far from town to just jump in my car to go back so I'd just eat what I had. After this has happened to me a few times, I make sure everything is there before I leave the parking lot.

Yes I do it too. You don't want to drive all the way home or half way home and figure out that you didn't get what you ordered. It really stinks that we even have to check to make sure they got it right. I think they should check to make sure they got it right before they give us our food .
