There will be times that I am running late for work but decide to make a quick stop at the fast food restaurant. I do this in hopes to make it through the drive thru really fast and get my meal and eat it on the way to work. It is very frustrating though when I order my food and then it takes them forever to complete my order. I once ordered a chicken sandwich meal and they asked me to pull my car forward out of the way so other customers could still pick up their items in the drive thru while I waited for my order. I think I waited 7 total minutes. 7 minutes really isn’t that long if you think about it but when you go through the drive thru you expect to put your order in and receive your order within 2 minutes.

I was already running late for work and then I had to sit and wait and wait and wait for my order which was causing me to risk being really late for work, all just so I could get a chicken sandwich meal. I was really hungry though so it was a choice between just driving off and not having anything to eat and lose out on the money I already paid for my meal or just waiting for my food and be late for work. Then I would have to come up with a good excuse to tell my boss why I was late for work. I do not think he would appreciate me saying, “Sorry I am late but the drive thru was behind and made me wait for a really long time to get my food”.

So I decided to forget the food and just go hungry so as I start to put my car back in drive and pull forward towards the fast food exit here, comes the employee running outside with my food. Just in the nick of time. I think that fast food restaurants need to try to stay ahead so that people do not have to wait a real long time for their orders. So many people on their work lunch breaks or on their way to work stop at fast food restaurants expecting fast service.

If you want to eat at fast food, you should have coupons (such as Mcdonalds coupons, Kfc coupons and other coupons) in your car. This would help you to save money
