I’m in favor of this. I went to Wendys the other day and ordered a single and then got interrupted with “Do you want a combo?”

I said “yeah, and...” then got interrupted with “do you want to upsize it to large?”

I said, “yeah, sure, but...” and got interrupted with “What kind of drink do you want?” I said, “Diet Coke, but...”

Just about then, they put my burger and fries and drink on the tray.

Then, there was a pause and I said, “...and I want ketchup and mayo only on it.”

The manager gave me a look and I stared right back, daring her to say something. But they just made me a new burger.

Please give me an app to make them shut up!

The only thing that would bother me about this is that there are so many people who have no clue how to order food much less read.

When I was in college I worked at in a drive through line. They would go through each order for each person they were feeding and then they would get themselves confused and God help us all if we had to ask a question.

Most of the people on this forum do not fall into the stupid column. But if you are ever really bored listen to how people order food. Hilariously sad.

The drive-in is worse. They constantly interrupt and most times get to wrong.

I love the Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) rant in Lethal Weapon 3 about drive-ins.

Did you watch to make sure they didn’t spit on your burger?

I go to the McDonalds across the street from my office three times a day and only ever get a large black coffee. Most times my conversation goes like this:

“Hi, I’ll have a large black coffee.”
“OK... milk and sugar?”
“No. Black coffee.”
“No sugar?”
“No. Black coffee. Nothing else.”

Everyday. Like clockwork. In their defense, this McDonalds is across the street from Penn Station in NYC and it seems to be heavily frequented by junkies. One of the standard requests I hear from people around me in the morning is “Small coffee - twelve and twelve.”

That’s a small cup of coffee with twelve creams and twelve sugars. My order is an aberration in that environment.

I end all my orders with “And that’s all”, and they still ask.

The app will probably be loaded with popups to try to get you to up-scale your purchase (triggered by key clicks).
