A la carte + combo meal = disaster

Post by jim »

Do they ever get it right when you order some sort of combo with a few items a la carte? If you order just combo meals, or just a la carte you are probably ok. Mix the two and they mess it up every time.

Nope, Dunkin Donuts. Added an extra coffee and it completely confused them.

I look forward to a fast food drive up with voice recognician technology or push buttons. If you are by yourself and order is uncomplicated, I would say most drive ups get it right about 80% of the time. Now, as you said, add any other item that is not a combo meal or have multiple orders, I bet the percentage drops by 25% every other item. Don't even think about ordering your cheeseburger without onions or something like that. The McDonalds closest to my house gets half your order wrong on a good freeking day. My two year old is not very reasonable when she gets french fries instead of apple dunkers.
