I CANT HEAR YOU SPEAK LOUDER

Drive through speakers aren't motion sensitive. If you aren't in a car they won't know you are there. They only know if someone is at drive through if the speaker hears the sound of an engine.

>be drunk as fuck
>dont own a car, but the doors of the establishment are already closed

>orders the most expensive thing
>tries to pay with a check

not every drive through place has outside cameras. not every drive through is equipped with monitors near the registers. A bell sounds in the employee headsets when the speaker picks up the sound of an engine that lasts more than 2-3 seconds.

>order 4 different things each with different instructions for what you want added/removed

There's a sensor under the pavement that detects the metal in the car

you ya know you could just install an incredibly cheap camera so employees have an idea of who is ordering what because it's 2018 and we don't need anything more convoluted than that because cameras are very very cheap

Nigga you could've easily went in and chilled, probably would've gotten some free food and shit. I'm in South Texas so most Whataburger's (fast food workers in general) here don't care after-hours. Also it's fun too watch people get in fights around 2AM.

jeez woman you need to lurk more

you're assuming that an employee is always going to be at a register staring at monitors. Having an audio cue allows employees to be able to take orders while bagging orders . The audio cue lets employees know when a customer is ready to order while the employee is doing something away from the register such as cleaning dining room or getting supplies from the storage area/fridge/freezer.

I worked at a drive thru. I have some stories.

>Be me
>Pretty dead night, nobody's really been going through
>Talking to buddy when headset beeps
>"Hi, what can I get you today?"
>No answer
>Repeat
>Still no answer
>Repeat again

Fast forward 5 minutes, assume the sensor is fucked and forget about it
>Manager runs in saying we have 10 cars in line
>Suddenly hear honking
>Not consistent honks, just one long ass honk that never ends
>FINALLY person drives up
>"Why didn't anyone take my order?!"
>Check speaker, it works fine
>Still wonder why one wouldn't just drive up if they apparently can't hear the speaker

You sound like an absolute moron

Fuck I hate those retarded things. I haven't seen one in at least a year thank God. Whatever braindead piece of trash thought of that deserves to be raped repeatedly.

lol you watch family guy too?

>repeat 3 times
>still no reply
>customer ignores you until they figure out what they want

What fast food place have you ever seen where they don't have at least one person dedicated to drive thu orders? dumb fuck. Also a camera would more efficiently work as a motion sensor to begin with. What about wind and other loud shit? You could still have an alert tone with a video motion sensor.
plus I HAVE SEEN THE FUCKING MONITORS AT MCDONALDS AND OTHER FAST FOOD PLACES
a video feed just makes sense in every way and it's what they use

I don't do that.

Having a dedicated drive through employee doesn't mean they never leave the area. There might be a dedicated order taker during breakfast and lunch rushes , but early morning, afternoon, night shift, and grave yard shifts may have less people (only one person for fryer and grill, only one person for drive through and front). The person taking the order is also the person who has to make the drinks and bag the food.

No way dude, a camera would be too hard, instead we need to install magnets and shit in the ground, a microphone to listen for engine noise and an infrared sensor to look for engine heat, all this gets piped into a server that processes the information using the latest in machine learning software to send a beep to the drive through if it thinks it detects a car.

they make camera's that beep whenever they detect motion in a specific area, they are easy to setup and cheap.

>The person taking the order is also the person who has to make the drinks and bag the food.
which is why it might be helpful to know which car you're dealing with ON THE MONITOR YOU"RE LOOKING at

it depends on the restaurant and if it's okay with the regional manager.

don't talk shit about dunkey

>ayyo can I get a fuckin' uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ive always wanted to do that. just dive up, yell "ill have a number 1, thanks" and then pull right up to the window where you pay.

>being this much of a picky fuck
why do people do this? i understand doing that at an actual sit down restaurant but for fast food? at that point, just make your own damn food.

only do this if there's no car behind you. They want to know if you want it as a combo, what size, what kind of side, what kind of drink. If you do this while cars are behind you they have to take your order at the window while holding up the car behind you. The customer behind you gets all upset and demands free stuff.

I do it all the time because I don't like ordering through the stupid speakers, I prefer to order by talking to the person in the window directly so there are no mistakes made. Plus it's a pain in the ass trying to understand those shitty speakers.

If a car pulls up right after you and pulls the same stunt it can complicate things. It's not uncommon for customers to say their order and pull over without employee ever getting a word in. While a customer is talking to you at the window they are being yelled at by a customer through the head set.

it's not just the customer that's yelling at the employee, but also the person in charge wondering why their drive through employee is putting a customer on hold. Kitchen likes to make the order as quick at they can to things going. They like to hear your order through their headset so they can prepare everything as quick as possible.

god damn, that's a blast from the past

sucks to be them, but as the customer I prefer to order face to face and that's what they are going to have to deal with

>order over speaker at BK
>they fucking always forget something, need to go back in anyway

>itt: too fatass and lazy to get out of the car and walk into the fastfood trough to place an order and complain about the process to accomodate their laziness.

>too tired to walk up to counter and get food
>order food

>minimum wage employee tries to guilt trip me into feeling sorry for them when it was their fault they screwed something up

lol @ all the bottom of the tier wage workers who are getting so uppity in this thread. You have literally the lowest job in the US when it comes to respect, people literally make fun of you if they know you work in fast food, it's worse than being a garbage man or even a sewer worker you are at the very bottom of the work force.

This.

I treat fast food workers like they are; scum.

>Your are scum.
>But I am still going to eat the food you serve.
Nigger what?
You look down on people who staff a position that you as a consumer rely on to get your food?
Are you retarded?

956 here. You?

you should cheer them up some more by giving them a nice long chat about how your day is going and what you have been up to and what you are planning on doing for the rest of the week.

Me and some friends skipped class one time in high school, and decided to get high and go to Taco Bell.

We were in the drive thru and had a brilliant idea. We scrawled on a scrap of paper "Speaker is not working right...please yell order VERY loudly so we can hear you. Sorry for the inconvenience!", and taped it to the order speaker.

We ordered and scarfed our food down in the parking lot, and then ran inside, ordered more food, and then sat down near the front and waited.

It only took about 30 seconds before, audible in the entire restaurant...

"KKKKKKKSSSSSSHHHHHHAHHHHHYEAAAAAAAHCAAAANIHAVE*loud static and screeching*ANUMBER4PLEASEKKKKKKSSSSSSHHHHH"

This happened 4 or 5 times before poor LaQuisha at the window screamed back "WHAT THA FUCK IS GOING" while we were dying in our seats

They can't even hack the gibson. Fucking plebs

Why do people keep complaining about retail/food industry workers sounding or looking lifeless? You are not the only customer they are dealing with. They are still people and they get tired repeating the same thing all day and being treated like trash. They are not always going to fake a smile or preppy attitude for everyone for 6-8 hours straight. If you are off-put by a fast food employee not being super happy to see you, why expect them to be super happy after dealing with the 50thcustomer that day?

Former 361, 956, currently Houston here.

What kind of Texan doesn't understand that Whataburger is 24/7?

My hooker is always happy to see me and I know she's already made 50 other guy bust a nut. Checkmate atheists

Lol I always tip 0.

Same guy everytime too

as a sex worker , 50 is a high number. 10 is usually the max per day.

Thx for writing the lyrics we used to try and imitate it in high school. That was 12yrs ago.

Have you ever been in a drive-thru? There's a line for a reason, dumbass.

This shit right here and it's only this one BK that does it. They forgot something twice in a row and when I called them they didn't answer the phone. The only other BK near me are much further away.
