you go to a Drive Thru at a Fast Food Restaurant and the person who is taking your order doesnt understand what your saying.
I was ordering a small chicken soup and the girl kept saying "Small Mountain Dew?" I wanted to yell at her when I got to the window and she handed me a drink! But I kept my cool :)

I have gotten to expect this and I check everything I order to make sure it is indeed what I asked for before leaving the window. It may annoy the staff and the people behind me but it sure gets the message across.

Simple cure:
Tell the operator that the order is taking too long to process and you'll wait AT THE speaker for the manager to take your order.
1) You'll have an attentive ear.
2) She'll get a clip behind the ear.

That was nice of you to not yell back you were good but yes it is annoying sometimes my mom who just drive on through when they keep asking and face to face tell them which must be better because they never say what huh huh they get it right...and I mean she will smile pay and go like nothing just happen it is a bit embarrassing to just drive on up to the window though...smiles and I lied because my mom does not do that but I think I would sometimes

yeah i hate drive throughs .. so many times i have had the wrong order given to me or i am kept waiting for ages. one time they got my order muddled up and kept me waiting for ages, so they said next time you come back you can get a free ice cream. i then checked the bags and noticed a burger was missing, i was quite happy to go back round to get my missing burger and the free ice cream ha ha. but it also made me really annoyed that they could employ such stupid people lol.

Yes, it does, but I always give them the benefit of the doubt that they are hearing me incorrectly for a reason - like outside noise around me filtering through to them, or a technical problem with their headset or something.

Yes, especially when they can barely understand english and then after telling them 5 times they STILL get my order wrong.

Yes. I'm from the South and I was ordering "iced tea" and the
girl thought I said "High C".

I have phobias about fast food restaurants period. Mostly try to stay away from them. Definitely try never to annoy them because I've heard numerous horror stories about how they mess with your food.

I try to explain him in loud (but not blasting) and clear words.
Let's not blame the servers who are minimum wage workers; they are under severe FINANCIAL strain. I'm passing through one of those phases and it's good to be a little sympathetic to the plight of those who suffer the most.
