Burger King is just as bad. I went to one on 27 here in Florida, and I won't even go into how long I waited in the drive-thru because that's the norm there. I had ordered the Garden Burger or whatever it's called, which has a vegetarian patty in place of the meat. Unfortunately, when I opened it, there was NO patty whatsoever! None!
The drive-thru was still backed up to Georgia, so I went inside. The line there was just as bad, but I went right up to the counter because I had already done my waiting and wasn't gonna wait anymore. It took a while to get it through the supposed manager's head what was wrong. Finally she said they'd made me a new sandwich. So I stood there waiting. And waiting. Finally, when 15 mins. went by (normally I'd have said something sooner but I wanted to see if they'd really drag it out that long), I beckoned her back over and asked, "Uh, where is my sandwich?" "Oh, you didn't get it?" I bit back a snarky reply and said, "No, and at this point I just want my money back." So she says, "Well, it was rung up in the drive-thru so you have to drive around and go back thru there to get it."
HELL NO! I managed to regain my composure, but I have a loud natural voice and made sure to use it at a level the people around us could hear: "You have made an error and created this situation. Then you made me stand here for 15 minutes for nothing. Now you expect me to wait in that endless drive-thru line again just to get my money back. That is NOT going to happen. This has become your problem, and I don't care how you do it, but you're going to give me a refund here and now."
I think she could see it wouldn't be smart to push it further, so she somehow miraculously came up with my refund. I never darkened the doorstep of that hellhole again, since that was just the culmination of many instances of idiodicy.
