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.
“Dude! Quiet! I'm trying to put together my burger. Oh wait, I should update my Facebook that I'm using this. Huh? Okay, I'll change iHeart to a different station. Hang on. Is that better? What am I getting on my burger? Oh yeah, the burger. Should I like get pickles and mayo or do you think like that will be too much? Wow. Like soooooo many choices. I don't know like what to get. Hey, Chrissy is online! I'll ask like what she got last week.”
>>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.
I worked fast food in high school...in the days before the combo meal. We listened to the order as the person gave it and it was remarkably easy to understand.
Today (and for the past 20 years), they interrupt the customer so much that people get confused. I understand suggestive selling, but if they would just STFU, they’d find out that people actually do know that they sell fries and drinks and, if we want them, we will order them. At some restaurants, the combo doesn’t save the customer a penny. At others, they save a nickel or so. And at my local Burger King, the combo costs about 3 cents more than the individual items.
