But that's on the boss, not the idiot customer

Furthermore, if you ever go to a fast food joint and complain that your order is wrong, you're just a loony idiot. You're a naive person for thinking a bunch of stoned teenagers at Taco Bell are going to perform to your standards. 100% of orders made at fast food restaurants are wrong.

Similarly, people who create complicated orders at fast food restaurants are the worst. Long, complicated custom orders are contrary to the point of fast food.

Telling the waiter your order is wrong is a dick move. Just eat the loving food. Possibly getting an order wrong is just part of going out to eat, you overprivileged snob. When you say your order is wrong, you cause all kinds of loving annoying trouble.

1) First of all, now your food is going to be thrown away.
2) The underpaid, stressed out waiter will feel like an idiot.
3) The waiter has to go back and tell the cooks to recook the food, all of which gets added to an already unmanageable queue, but also it doesn't count as a new food item; you effectively cause the cooks and the wait staff all to take a hit, which will have to be added to inventory and time sheets later, and the management will pick a person (could be the waiter, could be a cook, could be someone who wasn't even working when this happened) to lecture and bitch at and maybe even fire.
4) Now the rest of your party is eating while you wait for your new loving food to be made. Which leads to the "should we wait? is it okay we eat?" awkwardness.
5) You will be marked as a customer who did this, and if it happens again, your third visit will absolutely have public hair and spit in your food.
6) You will annoy those of us who just loving eat the food we're given because people make mistakes all the time and it's not a big deal unless it's like an allergy issue or something.
7) Once everyone is finished eating, the party has to wait for your new loving correct food to be consumed before they can leave.

This frustrates me in the same way people complain when they're forced to work off the clock or they have their lunches deducted from their pay sheets. Yeah it sucks and it's a bummer but it's the world a lot of us live in.

For minor things, sure it's silly to make a big thing about it...but if I get literally raw food or the entirely wrong order, I'm not going to just say "well, even though I'm paying a massive markup for the food i'm eating and they just gave me the entirely wrong thing, I should just accept it because it is an inconvenience for the cooks". It's (usually) not the waiter's fault and they shouldn't be made to feel bad about it - it's almost always the kitchen's fault cutting corners. It's literally their job to make things to order. It's not a charity where you get what you get.

also re: fast food, it's not a lot to ask even a stoned teen to not put ketchup or pickles on my order. When they do, it's not like it's a disaster, they just replace the burger the company probably paid like 30 cents to make with another one that cost slightly less than that to make that I am paying 6 dollars for. I'm not going to pay a place to cook food if i'm not going to enjoy eating it when it can be easily fixed.

On one hand, thank you for sharing a very unpopular opinion. On the other hand, it's unpopular for a reason. If I'm paying money for food, I want it at least mostly right. Most of the time if I ask for something removed or substituted it's something I absolutely do not want to eat. I'm not going to send back my regular fries when I asked for tots, nor will I send back my burger over some pickles I can pick off, but if I ordered something I want except I had to ask for no coleslaw or pickled red onions or whatever, I'm gonna send it back because at some point I can't fully remove it. I genuinely try not to be a bother and I'm never a dick about it, but I don't think it's that much to ask that my orders be at least sorta correct. If I just flat out got a different item than I ordered, I might weigh if it's something I don't mind eating and send it back if not.

I almost agree with you about the fast food thing, but also fast food is the easiest poo poo to fix because they are just assembly lining this poo poo anyway. I usually just grit and bare it with fast food since I'm not going back to the store over my one wrong or missing taco. If I'm eating there or something is obviously missing like I get a tiny bag and I have a big order, I'll probably go back to see if I can get it fixed. However, I really hate people who hold up lines while they deeply check every loving item though. If you're opening up all your tacos at the drive through window to make sure they do or don't have sour cream, go gently caress yourself or at least pull off to a parking space.

Why: "restaurant" is a fair question to ask.

Are you eating out because it is a way to provide mere sustenance or is there a broader purpose to the meal? If you are wolfing down slop from Taco Bell by yourself, does it matter if they get the order wrong? Are you the rear end in a top hat if you want to have *this* chalupa and not *that* taco bell grande combo? Yeah, totally. But what if it is a meal you have been looking forward to, a treat you give yourself? Then you deserve to ask for what you ordered. Likewise if it would otherwise mean compromising your morals. In a social situation (which is how you ought be eating. Animals feed, humans dine) it gets more complicated but because you are dining, not feeding, you ought be able to have some easy substitution with a minimum of fuss within your party.

Lotta weird assumptions here.

There�s nothing wrong with eating by yourself. There�s nothing wrong with wanting the food you ordered to be correct, even if the food isn�t the height of cuisine.

Other people exist outside of your views of The Correct Behavior And Order Of Things, and that�s okay

There are no assumptions there. I merely highlighted some of the different ways of eating.

I forgot this isn't the Chapo Trap House thread. I'm a leftist who donates to the DSA and will fight for respect and equal rights, but I don't like the solutions for social friction that US Democrats are proposing. Raising the minimum wage does not increase the respect of the job (though it should be done)

I was pissed off the first time I heard criticisms in that style because I thought they were Conservative like you think I am. I loving hate the Right and most of America, and I see that I'm derailing the thread unintentionally so I'm apologizing for the confusion and logging off

You know that if you want to show material appreciation for a service worker, there is a socially accepted longstanding method for that, right? It's called tipping. You just give them some money. If the class conflict of ordering a burrito at Chipotle is too much for you, you don't have to offer the cashier a burrito or rifle through your pockets to find half a joint you can give them in clear view of the security camera. You can just put five bucks in the tip jar.
