Ordering online isn't full proof. In the end it's still up on a monitor where and employee has to read it and make the order. Speaking as somebody who once was able to see a monitor and see my order -- as ordered -- up there and still get the order and had it done incorrectly, I know in the end it winds up in the hands of a potential idiot.
On something of a related note, a year or two ago I tried a new caramel flavor of doughnuts. I forget what the brand name is, but you've all seen them (if you live in America).
I wasn't expecting the world, I knew it wouldn't be anything remarkable, but I was expecting them to be caramel flavored doughnuts. I bite into them and the distinct awful taste of coconut is present. Turns out what I thought was caramel crumbles on the outside, was in fact coconut. I could barely taste the caramel.
Now, I know what some of you immediately thought: You idiot, you should have fully read the front of the package.
No, it says nothing about coconut on the front. Nothing about coconut on the bottom. Nothing about coconut in the sides. There is no top. And I didn't see it on the back either, just another advertisement that it's caramel flavor. In order to find out there is coconut in it, you have to read the tiny ingredients print. What if I had been allergic to coconut? What if somebody else who buys it is? Somebody could wind up in the hospital, if not die, because of the false and inadequate advertising.
