    Domino's has to be my most HATED of all the fast food joints in Australia. Long story short, they made a mess of our order, spent 3 hours trying to get it right, when we thought they had it right, i ended up swallowing plastic because they left the plastic sheet on their puff pastry sheet.

    Their response was to turn up on my doorstep, 40 minutes after we had called them to tell them that somebody had swallowed a foreign object from one of their pizzas, with no replacement, pretty much laughing in my girlfriends face when she was telling them, and then walked off, only refunding us for the pizza which had the plastic in it.

    Will Never Ever Ever Ever go back there again.

    Ive had dramas with fast food places, but bottom line is I still go back.

    The story about icecream machines being broken! Ha! Our local Maccas was one of the first to get frozen coke, & I was hooked! the summer after when it was being phased in slowly into other stores, their machine was out of order for 4mths!!!

    WTF? I was like a junkie looking for my fix, one night I went to noarlunga, the machine was broken, then to Mt Baker (I knew they had one) which was on defrost :( then up to Murray Bridge...... Damn frozberry addcition!!! lol

    Oh & I busted up the front end of the VN on a tree on the way home :(

    my first job was at Pizza Hut 13 years ago know when i started we didnt even have a computer or anything and usually didnt make many mistakes now it just seems all fast food outlets with computer systems are constantly making mistakes
    so is it the computer making mistakes or are we now a dumbed down society who cannot work things out in our head
    even basic mathematics kids now need a calculater

    If ya want service you should go down to the Hungry Jacks across from RMIT in Melbourne. During lunchtime I have never had a problem with a wrong order, and the food is in my hands 10-15sec after paying! Can't ask for more than that.

    i stay right away from the big food chains like maccas and kfc, there food has just turned to crap lately, and especially dominoes, dunno if its just in canberra or what but there large pizzas are now bout half the size of what they use to be. if anyones been to canberra and tried kingsleys youd know that they have THE BEST chicken fillet burgers goin round, and there chips and gravy are all making me a little hungry right now.

    Seriously, if youve never worked in fast food before... stop ****ing winging.

    Most food service (fast) will have a 3 minute order system. Maccas, KF and Rooster have it (i know cos i work for one of em) but some times its just impossible to keep to that.

    Heres an idea...

    1. Get out of you car you lazy ****'s and order inside. Youll get it faster 9/10 times.

    2. Order whats on the menu and stop being so goddamn pedantic about whats in it.

    3. Have at least a small idea about what you want insted of getting to the counter and going.... oh....gee.... ummmm.....

    4. Know what store sells what... KFC dont sell Mc.Chicken burgers and red rooster doesnt sell whooper's with cheese.

    5. Adjust your attitude... we get paid crap all but were not your slaves. Not happy, DONT COME THE **** BACK! cook your meals yourself.

    6. Dont lie... you got your meal and it was fine. Were not stupid and trying to stooge us when we know were right is just gay.

    7. Dont order a diet coke because your trying to watch your figure... your eating fast food you smack tard.

    8. Dont let your kids order... they cant speak english nor can they make executive decisions. No, its not cute, shut up.

    9. Speaking of kids, tell them to shut the **** up... why? its annoying and i dont think your kids are cute.

    10. 5minutes to: This is the most important rule in the history of fast food. If tis 5 minutes till close, DONT, i repeat DONT order anything! if you must, make it easy. Why? cos we all ahve lives and want to get back to them. And dont spout that crap about "its your job" cos i know when it hits 5pm you dont care either...

    Thanks for these small changes to your eating out systems.

    HI-5!! LMAO BUT don't order inside unless you want to take away coz I hate cleaning up after your lazy asses cant put your own rubbish into one of the 15 bins provided.

    And whats worse is most people know whats on offer, they get to the window place an order and change it 20 friggen times, make up your fkn mind before you order, it takes heaps longer to add something and cancel the original thing you ordered.

    azk ....a work attitude like that wont get you far in this world and its only gonna get harder if you think its bad working in a takeaway. if im paying your wages (oh and yes i am when i buy your food) i dont expect to be paying for incompetent people to give me the wrong thing. try working in a position where you have the lively hoods of 100s of workers at stake and then tell me that its too hard working for maccas . this is the exact reason why teenagers shouldnt be dealing with food products a p--s poor attitude and i dont give a f--k ethics . im not bagging out all maccas workers most are ok its just the ones with attitudes like yours and this is the reason so many people are complaining like me.

    If i'm paying for something, i'll order it whatever way i want.


    And if my meal was wrong, it quite obviously was wrong. Why would i bother wasting my time ringing up, and argueing, over a $6 meal.
    I recently ordered a triple cheeseburger meal at HJs, paid for a triple cheeseburger meal, got home and it was a double. You'd probably think, who gives a ****, but if you pay the money, you expect what you pay for.
    I then had the manager proceed to tell me that the only order that is in the system is a double cheeseburger. I said 'why did the girl at the window tell me i had a triple cheeseburger meal, she reads off the computer doesn't she?
    They ended up replacing the whole meal, but he wasn't happy about it.


    The stores in SA, the staff don't finish until half an hour after the store closes, so ordering at 5 minutes to close isn't going to effect your life. Your still getting paid, so keep working.

    Thought I'd go for a maccas shake on the way home from work today seeing I haven't had one in a few weeks. Tried a different maccas and the girl says "The chocolate shakes aren't working today". I should have replied "Are the strawberry ones working"? I just drove off without buying anything.

    Probably a good thing I don't live anywhere near you, or your workplace.. Let me give you my thoughts on your 10 points..

    1. Drive thru is there for a reason.. What if it is not possible for you to go in??
    2. I don't like tomato and I'm paying my hard earned money for what I want to have.. Your job is to get it CORRECTLY..
    3. Agree, but that doesn't just apply to fast food..
    4. We all know that, but it's fun at times!!.. (i.e while ****faced)!!..
    5. The thing you will have to learn in life is that you have to put up with all sorts of attitudes when working in hospitality.. Deal with it..
    6. Whatever happened to "The customer is always right"??..
    7. Agreed
    8. Geez, so what is this language I've been teaching my young fella for the last 2 years??.. If he can't make an "executive decision", then what is this dinner stuff he keeps asking for??.. Mate, you have obviously never had kids, so until you do, please shut the **** up..
    9. As above
    10. I know it's your job, thats why I'll walk in with 5 minutes to go and order whatever I damn well please.. Sure I don't give a **** after 5pm, but I still have to work til the final buzzer..

    Ultimately, harden up and deal with it, or find another job..
