I learned my fast food lesson years ago. I got screwed so many times (and usually by McDs) that I don't budge from the drive through until I've checked every single item. If they pack the bags the way they are supposed to it's a quick task, but more and more they overload them so that you have to pull things out. I don't know how many times over the years of doing this that I've had the drive thru person tell me "it's all there..really" like they think I'm going to drive on based on their word...only to find out there's a missing sandwich, fry or something else.

Years and years ago...they had a sandwich that came in a special container where the meat was on one side with the bottom bun and the top bun was on the other side with the lettuce, tomato, etc. In a rush for lunch one day, I grabbed two of these on the way home planning to eat one for lunch and save the other one for dinner that night. Well.. I got home (15 or 20 minutes away) to eat my burger and to a few things before heading back to work.. opened the box and ...NO MEAT. I checked the other box.. NO MEAT. As I ate my "veggie' burger, I called the McDs and asked if they noticed they'd come up with a couple of extra patties. Funny thing.. the person said "yeah" and that the working putting things together couldn't figure out how. They of course told me to come back and get the correct burgers, but my lunch time was almost over.. so they put my name 'on the list' for a free meal. Don't think I ever went back to get it tho.
