Work frustration

That's why I like going to a place like The Pita Pit. First you order your base pita, then comes the time where they ask you what you want on it on top of that, and it gets made on the spot. Less room for errors. Mind you, they also ask you if you want yours toasted, which slows things down considerably. Which is why I have a personal policy of saying no if they're already really busy.
The potential for screwups when you're giving the order verbally are why I prefer to order online. Skip The Dishes even lets me order from A&W, if I really couldn't do without a Mama Burger, root beer, and fries. I've noticed that the prices on that site are more than they'd be at the restaurant, though, so I'll wait until I go to the mall.
I’d never heard of Wendy’s but a quick google reveals one near the beach. Maybe it’s time to try something new.
Go with the Baconator! Awesome burger!
The very name is perfuse with a sublime pledge to flavour that only bacon can deliver.
It’s on this months bucket list.
I only really eat fast food when I'm travelling, because like when I'm driving for 6 hours I don't want to stop for a long time, and sit down restaurant portions are way, WAY too huge and I'm totally not taking leftovers. When I do get fast food I prefer something like Subway, a half sandwich flatbread is just perfect for me. And you totally get to walk down and pick exactly everything you want and watch it being made so you know it's right.
When I do go to McDonalds on those rare occasions I order a plain cheeseburger, and I say it like that, and I like almost never have a problem. I never thought it'd be too terribly hard to just put their meat and cheese on a bun, right? And if I say plain first then if they're listening they shouldn't make a terrible mistake, right?

In theory the self service kiosks that McDonalds have now could make the abiltiy to customise your burger a bit easier but I don't think they are quite that detailed and would also reduce the chance of a stuff up being made your order though the design isn't conducive to quick entry.
Yes, same here. And big portions end up making me feel uncomfortable which isn't great on a long trip. And when I do go, I usually go for the healthier options if they have them, such as a wrap. (Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap from Timmies ftw!) I eat burgers so very rarely these days, that when I do, they tend to feel very rich.
We tend to plan our roadtrips via Timmies locations, ie how many km it is to the next one, etc.
I would imagine you get used to it, I've worn the hairnets and after a while you don't notice them.
Until your checking out with some groceries in the store and the checker asks if you are the new person in the Deli!
Just had a major frustration at work
Our company manufactures things that are sold on Amazon and part of my job is to respond to 1 star reviews. There was one written by "BorgQueen" and nobody understood my excitement

Did the reviewer threaten to assimilate you?
I think being assimilated at work would top the list of everything else mentioned here!
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.
