Special orders don't upset us (but even regular orders perplex us)

I'm sure I've already discussed the crappiness of this one Burger King near where I live, and they continue to suck. More often than not, when you go through the drive-thru, they make you pull around to the front of the building to actually get your food. I've never been to any other drive-thru that made you do this, and I fail to understand the point. Isn't part of the point of a drive-thru that you get your food at the drive-thru window? They also constantly mess up orders. And I remember when I'd go there with bethje at night and ordered shakes, and they'd always say the machine was broken. I seriously doubt the machine breaks down every night. If they have a policy of not making shakes after a certain time, why not just SAY that? What do they have to gain by lying? The same thing that they have to gain by making people pull around to the front of the building (i.e., nothing)?

Anyway, I went there for breakfast today, and not only did they make me pull around, but they gave me sausage instead of ham on my sandwiches, even though it said "H" on the receipt. The mix-up wouldn't have been such a big deal if they didn't screw up practically every time I went there. I got my money back and told them I didn't think I'd come back there again, which didn't carry as much gravitas as I might have hoped. If I had really wanted to Make A Statement, I guess I should have talked to the manager, or enumerated the problems I've had with them in the past, but I don't particularly care. I ended up getting breakfast at Dunkin' Donuts. They also mess up orders pretty often (honestly, trying to order there makes me totally see the side of the "This is America, 'speak English'" crowd, although not so much with their inability to properly use quotation marks or name the country they live in), but they're nowhere near as consistently incompetent and rude as the employees at that one particular Burger King. Besides, Dunkin' Donuts gets a lot of points for serving breakfast all day long.

Speaking of bumper stickers (yes, I WAS speaking of them, as you'll see if you look at the last parenthetical phrase), I saw a car today with both Bush/Cheney and Pearl Jam ones. Great, lousy taste in both music AND politicians. :P They also had a sticker reading, "Stop bitching. Start a revolution." Thanks for the advice, but I'd rather bitch. {g} Besides, revolutions often tend toward violence, and one of my main problems with the current American government is that they think violence solves everything. So revolting would be rather hypocritical, wouldn't it?
