I literally once had someone hand me a teeny tiny little paper cup about an inch and a half tall.

I realized later I should’ve just asked for 30 more.

You keep going back, right? Probably the star segment for their market test, "That Josh fella is back, and last time we even replaced his #3 combo meal for a dirty rag!" <em>high-fives all around</em></p> <p>I used to hate it when our local McDonald's charged $.50 extra if we used a debit card.

As in an employee got mad at a customer and stabbed him. Just chew on that before complaining about the service :)</p> Neil: your Wendy’s may be bad, but the one I grew up eating at got closed several years back due to a stabbing.

Here in the east, the f–ed up order award goes to Wendy’s. There’s one near my weekend home that ALWAYS gets my order wrong, and then has the nerve to tell me that I ordered it that way!

The paramedics found me passed out in disgust in the bushes just past the “we don’t have your order ready” area… My still uneaten potato in pieces where I missed the open window.

Can I Have My Fork Now?
