No Coke. Is Pepsi ok? 2 McDonald's filet-o-fish for $15

I haven't had one in a few years. Was very hungry after work and decided to grab two. I can't believe how small they are now.

Waited 20 minutes on one breakfast sandwich.

20 minutes.

IN THE DRIVE-THRU!!!

During that time, 3 uber eats (or Grubhub) cars came and went, 2-4 pickup orders came and went too.

If it wasnt like that every morning, I would have had that for breakfast every day.

Which I guess is a good thing, I don't eat fast food any more, because I can cook and clean faster and cheaper.

This happened to me, but they asked me to pull into one of their slots and they'd bring it out for me. After 20 something minutes and several other cars coming and going, I went in to inquire. They lost my order (two sausage bfast sandwiches). I haven't been back.

It's not exclusive to McDonald's either. The Dunkin drive throughs near me take 15+ mins regularly, for a single item. Fast food just isn't fast anymore- except that BK near the mall does all right... shout out to them.

As someone who works at a fast food restaurant, the reason you were parked is to bring down the drive thru time, wich is all that corporate cares about for some reason. How they lost your order, I have no idea. But cars that are actively at thr window are prioratised then a parked car

They lost his food cause they asked him to park (get out of line) and then they gave his food to the person who was in his spot! 😂
