People who should but do not mind their own business...especially the ones that don't know what the hell they're talking about.

Really stupid people that need over explaining on just about everything.

1)People in front of me at McDonalds drive through that just sit there forever staring at the menu board like they don't know what the F*** McDonalds has. Arg[:(!]

Let me get this straight. You guys are paying $3.99 for a meat patty, some bread, lettuce, pickles, onions, and some special sauce that often has to go to feeding an under-educated employee, his/her kids, plus their medical, car, and housing expenses. AND

I forgot about McDonald's being so annoying! We should have just a thread devoted to this topic. Is is really that hard to employee people who won't get your orders messed up. Apparently so. I never get napkins with my orders and usually the food is cold.

At what price point are we allowed to complain about McDonald's without suffering the wrath of righteous indignation?
So $4.99 is out. What about $5.99? $6.99?
What if just order a coke and they give me a diet coke? That's well under $4.99, can I ask th

Wow Jimbo you certainly have raised many concerns not only with McDonald's but with Wal-Mart as well. I think that it should not matter how much money you spend - plain and simple, if you order something and you don't get what you ordered, you should have

It doesn't have to be one extreme or the other right Jimbo? You don't have to coddle them nor do you have to flame their "stupidity". How hard is it for us to patiently give our complaint, have them correct it, maybe even suggest improvement to management

You know I'm just messin' with ya myirwin! [:D]

I agree, when returning food or asking for a correction, you should never be a dick about it. I only bought a hamburger and not the right to denigrate anybody.
Denigration is only on the breakfast menu a

Once they gave me a large drink and I ordered a small, so I punched the guy in the nuts!
(next time I'll add the extra dollar for the "we got it right" menu.)

Believe me, if you ever do send food back it is in your best interest to do so politely. You NEVER piss off the people that handle your food. I spent a couple of years in restaurants and I've seen things that would make your skin crawl.

Well, I only have one thing that I can add to this impressive list.

Recently I opened a business, and of course, one needs a phone number. The number I received was previously owned by a hot tub mfr. who has since gone out of business.
