I haven't eaten fast food in more than a year now, but damn it is irritating when they mess up your order.

Couldn't he just have contacted the station's consumer watchdog reporter?

repair the damage!!! After he gets out of jail, that is! Wonder if they'll take out a restraining order on the guy?

What a nitwit:

"We were able to track the vehicle fluids back to his house about two miles from here. Upon interview he admitted that he purposely hit the building because he was mad because they messed up his order," said Sgt. Chris Kash with Huber Heights Police.

A trail of mild sauce or hot sauce? Or beef-filler?

Funny, I once saw almost the exact same thing (without the truck ramming) also in a taco bell. The guy freaked out and started tearing things up in the store.

Whenever I visit any fast food establishment, I always observe the difficult conditions under which the employees work, and then I try to imagine how I would feel if I had to be doing the same job. I see the way that management abuses the employes, and I see how easily the endless details of their work can become confusing. But most of all, I can see the monotony of their work and what a strain it is for them having to remain of their feet for their entire shift.

I take all of those things into consideration, and then I try to be as pleasant and understanding with them as I possibly can. And if they make a mistake on my order, I try to put it into perspective, as compared to all of the other sorrow and suffering that is present in our lives.

The fast food drive-through is no different than going inside the dining room.

One funny story that I will always remember about fast food restaurants happened to my a few years ago when I used to drive from my home in Yosemite, down to Laguna Beach in Southern California so I could be at a club where an old friend of mine used to perform from time to time.

During that time, one of my house rabbits, used to travel with me because he had arthritis in his hind legs which required my constant attention in order to feed and care for him. He was a *huge* French Lop whose name was Watson, and he used to ride in a big pet bed that was positioned on the floor of my car's front passenger compartment. He used to love traveling with me, especially when I played Jethro Tull on the CD player.

Watson also used to *love* the chef's salads that they served at Jack-In-The-Box, and he and I would always make it a point to stop at a Jack's for lunch, whenever we would travel. We always used the drive-through though, so he wouldn't become frightened to be left alone in the car, if I were to go inside Jack's to buy our lunch.

On one trip we decided to buy our lunch at the Jack's located on Interstate 5, right at the bottom of the Grape Vine; which forms the gateway going into L.A.

When we drove up to the speaker I said, "Two chef's salads please, and can you please hold the cherry tomatoes and the dressing on one of them. My rabbit won't eat them." The clerk said through the scratchy speaker, "Did you say your rabbit?" I said, "Yes, that's right. He loves your chef's salads."

When we drove around to the pick up window, all of the kitchen staff had crowded around the service window to get a look at what I was talking about. As I handed them the money, the order taker said, "That's no rabbit, mon. That is a horse!"

Edit for syntax.
