I used to work at McD's when I was in college. I have to be very specific about ordering my burgers well done if I eat there( or any fast food anymore). And since I have worked there, and the screen's are right there, I can catch them if they don't put "WLDN" on the order. But if it is put on there, and it comes to me pink and greasy, I make sure I let the cashier know it's not their fault, it's the person back in the grill's fault.

I was at Wendys once and I asked for my burger to be well done once, and the person in the grill actually yelled back saying "All of our food is well done". Better believe it, I got a pink and greasy burger. Never went back thier ever again.

Normaly I don't make a big scene, but this is the only time I did, in front of every body. "Well done my a$$, this looks medium rare to me." Then he replied "how do I make a burger well done?" "F'ing cook it longer, retard." I got my money back and walked away. Wendy's used to be my favorite.

I went through the drive at the King and ordered 4 regular burgers, and when I got home I found they were on whopper buns. stale buns at that.

I didn't know it was possible to get a PINK burger at a fast food joint...the things are so thin, they must cook in about 30 seconds.

Oddly, what irks me are the people that sit at the window and check their order when im behind them in line. Personally, i pull up and let the guy behind me get to the window, after all, its not his fault if the employees inside are idiots, nor should he have to wait because of it. If my order is wrong, then ill go in and get in taken care of, going to the front of the line and asking for someone that can fix it. When people sit at the window, recieve their order, hang out and then give it back, i have no problem getting on the horn for a bit to help them realize there IS a line and to move the hell up.

They start off as regular patties, the very same bulk box you can get at Wal-Mart.

And yes, they only cook them for 30 seconds. That's why I like mine well done.

I don't do McD's, BKing, Wendy's or anything along those lines. You just never know what your gonna get IMO (except maybe a raw burger). It only takes one time for me to bite into a cold, soft piece of "beef" and after that I won't ever go back.

As far as drive-thru's go, the most annoying thing for me is when I'm in sort of a hurry and get in line at Dunkin Donuts, and some guy 3 cars in front of me orders a half-dozen hot sandwiches along with 6 different coffee combinations (apparantly for the boys back on the jobsite). Might as well sit back and get comfy....

I havn't been through a drive-thru in so long. I just plain gave up on them. My orders were always wrong. I go inside and now my orders are only mostly wrong. Once in a while they might get it right. Nine times out of ten the f250 won't fit around the corner of the drive-thru anyway! I hate fast food joints.

That happened to me once. I was so angry. Sometimes it tastes better without the meat tho.

Way off topic, but do you know if your DC1s are clear coated? Sorry for the quick hijack. It just came to my mind when I was looking through your album. Beautiful truck man!

These places always complain that my diesel is too loud for them to hear my order over AND they complain about the noise when I pull up to the window, and I don't want to turn my truck off twice/three times to get a crappy burger. When I do chance it it's always a bad experience. I went to Whataburger once at 6am, sat at the box for a couple minutes and got no response, so I pulled up to the window and there was a manager looking shocked that I just pulled up to the window. He opened up and said that I'd need to go back to the box to order, so I started saying that I had BEEN at the stupid box already and that I just wanted ONE sammich. He got kinda pissy when I said I wasn't going back to his idiot order box, and that he needed to take my order right there, so I told him where to shove it and left. I wrote the corporate complaint email adress and got a form letter appology and 5 free burgers coupons. I went in side for each one of those burgers.

I've got the same problem, 351 with headers, glasspacks, and a nice loupy idle.

I had a joyful experience when idling in the window line, a lady in a car behind me was trying to order, she was yelling and screaming at me to "turn off your mother effing piece of redneck @%$&". I gladly poped in neutral and revved her a V8 symphony, she backed out and took off.



For the most part I've given up fastfood all together, every now and then I'll go to Hardees and get a angus burger or a county chicken sandwhich, either way its a 7 or 8 dollar meal so I make damn sure they get it right, I order all my sandwiches plain.

Come to think of it I've never got a packet of ketchup in my bag from there, I personally don't eat the stuff but I could see it bothering me if I did.

I won't even think about using the DD drive through except in the middle of the night when there is NOONE in the driveup line. That is the only time it is faster. Most of the DD's around me have half-dozen cars in line at a time. I started bringing a thermos of coffee to work most days now.
