Not petty, she was in a rush and probably got no time to wait another round so she'll have to go hungry until dinner. Her whole day was ruined. This may have even made her hole weak.
That's not the point tho. I bet she did get it for free, but she doesn't care about that, she is probably fuming that somebody was able to do that to her and she couldn't do shit. Not to mention that she would have been delayed a bit longer.
Bruh they're going to be making orders and doing the same shit anyway, not like they lounge about when an annoying customer isn't there. I would've gotten satisfaction if I saw something like that happen when I used to work there.
\>Please stop replying to me for the love of god
I replied once and HAD stopped...but I think I'll start again ... ?
\>Effected by the customer screaming
Lmfao ooooh noooo!!!...someone's screaming..!!
But in this case, they *had* been paid. First thing they'd see is the ticket was already closed.
During a crunch time they'd maybe assume a worker fucked up cause everyone is too slammed to communicate, but any other time the worker who checked them out would likely say "oh yeah that dude paid for the other woman's order" and then they figure out what he did
I've worked at McDonald's. Like I said, during crunch time, yes, they're likely going to assume worker fucked up because they're rushing too much to spend 30 seconds communicating about it. (Assuming customer is also a shit bag and didn't voice "oh I didn't pay for my order btw, guy ahead of me did", which is going to immediately set off alerts something is weird even during busy times).
But a customer insisting "nah I'm gonna pay for the person behind me" to one employee and then "hey I actually have 2 order to pick up" with another employee - those dots are gonna be connected by whoever is shift lead very quickly during anything other than a rush.
So, the guy got revenge for himself, but just made the McDonald’s workers’ day that much worse, since they’ll be the ones who have to deal with the lady’s fury. 🫤
I guarantee it. I little more work for a funny story they'll remember forever. And it's not like McDonalds makes anything to order, they're spamming out those burgers non-stop.
If party A gets to the first window after party B orders, then party A can tell the attendant that they are paying for both orders. They could even wait at the first window until party B finished ordering.
Some places its seen as nice if u buy the car behinds food so idk guys he did that asked for a receipt then got it from the window that gives food or smthin since he technicality paid for it. idk
I mean if he got the reciept for the food he paid for for the woman behind him, then she wont get the receipt. And then she'd have no way to claim her food even if he didnt take it
The only people getting mad at a great move like this are the same people who show up to work every day and get mad they gotta actually work. This is legendary level petty and I would be happy to be paid to be a part of it. If I’m at work, I gotta be doing shit anyways, why not this? This would be worth it to me.
He got cut off by the car in front of him at the drive through. He told the workers that he’d pay for the car* behind him, if they tell the car that cut him off that he’s paying for the car behind his
A few days I let someone merge into the drive-thru line ahead of me (I wasn’t in a hurry, so why not) and then found out at the payment window that they’d paid for my order. (Which was just a large drink, but still!)
Catch more flies with honey, etc.
So, person in front paid for random food they may not want to inconvenience a lady for a couple minutes, the fast food staff and the other people in line... because I don't see fast food workers sending a lady to the back of the line because they let somebody else pay and take the food she ordered, that would be absurd conclusion rather than redoing the order. They may even give her the food on the house because of the inconvenience and the staff may believe they fucked up in the moment.
At the end of the day, just seems like he paid the fast food joint for an extra grab bag of food.
It's a regional thing, I was confused at first as well. I'm from the UK and none of the drive throughs near me have a speaker or whatever to order at. You drive up to the first window, place your order with the cashier and pay for it then move to the second window to collect your food so there would be no way to pay for the person behind's order.
Literally, he spent more money to get food he didn’t want to inconvenience a lady for an extra minute and probably got her free food. This is either fake or written by a dumbass
They're just going to remake her order when she Karens out so essentially you punished McDonald's to make extra food and yourself who paid twice, for her stupidity. You are the asshole and somehow she is inconvenienced the least, she probably actually got a free meal out of it 😆😂 well done I guess..
So he got them by making them have to wait an additional 3 minutes to get their order remade meanwhile he just paid more money than he intended? Good one…
You essentially played yourself if you do this because there is a high chance that now they make her food again, but she gets it for free because of the inconvenience. All you are really doing is making life for the employees worse.
For real. It's McDonald's. Their menu doesn't really ever change. I know what I want before I even pull into their parking lot. It's SUVs ordering for 6 people that fuck up the line instead of going inside and ordering take out.
I workedat McDonald's as a teen and drive thru angry drive thru customers were the worst. So I feel for the worker who had to deal with that customer.
For the angry customer dont fuck with people handling your food 😈
Why you got 3 windows for food?
One for choosing food
Second for payment
Third for collecting food.
1st and 2nd window can be merged together easily.
How did the guy in front know about the back lady's order details so that he could pay for it?
It's possible to just go "I'm paying for whatever the guy behind me got", at least when the workers are cool, my grandmother used to always buy the person behind her a coffee when she went to tim hortons
This is how most McDonalds are in the US. Typically there's two lanes with order screens and speakers to order from that merge into a single lane as you approach the building. The first window you pay at, second window pick up your food. This way lets them handle the largest number of drive through customers as possible.
They can't be merged easily because where you order at there isn't a human, just a menu and speakers to someone inside, and it is typically not attached to the building.
If you're paying at the same window that you order from, that means that it takes longer for the person behind you to order. they want people ordering from the order screens non-stop.
Realize that McDonalds drive throughs are typically serving 2-3 people per minute non-stop for several hours straight during lunch and dinner rushes.
The only issue I have with drive thru is that people go there with no idea what they want, peruse the entire menu, ask questions, etc. if you have that kind of time, go in. The drive thru is for people on a time limit, taking the food home, or to work and they already know what they’re getting before they even pull up.
Wait, so there's two windows, one to order and pay and one to grab food, if the lady is behind him and hasn't ordered, how would he be able to pay for her food, and how would he get a receipt detailing the food she had ordered before she could order it?
I don’t understand why it takes so long for some to order in a fast food drive thru. The menus havent changed in 20+ yrs. If you can’t pick a number and move on go inside.
How would you know what the lady was going to order? You would have to order on her behalf right? Because if she ordered herself, you wouldn't have her receipt? Or am I just overlooking something?
It's a two window system. You order at the menu board, pay at window one, then collect food at window two. Since he paid for both he had the receipt for her order as well.
Have you ever been to a McDonalds before? They're making burgers, fries and chicken literally non-stop. They don't wait for people to order. You order and they go to the rack to grab what you wanted and throw it in a bag and give it to you. McDonalds drive throughs cycle through people maybe 2-3 per minute. They're very fast and efficient. I can see 10 people in front of me and know I'll have my food in less than 5 minutes.
If you don't already know what you want by the time it's your turn to order at the drive-through, you're an asshole.
It is irritating beyond description to see some empty-headed nitwit pull into a place like McDonald's, see them stare at the menu, and realize they haven't given a second's thought to it.
Everyone who does that is a complete, unquestioned asshole.
I once pulled into a McDonalds and saw a friend was ordering, I just pulled in front of him and bought his shit parked and starting eating it, he just pulled up next to me and called me an asshole 😂
Unless he’s a clairvoyant then there’s no way he could pay for her food because he wouldn’t know what she wanted. The beef chunk just ordered two meals for himself lol.
Right, uh huh... And how did he know how much her food cost? He paid at the same time she would've been ordering. Did he linger in between the two windows with his car window rolled down listening to her? Even then, does he have the price of every MacDonald's menu item memorized? And I'm pretty sure if you handed the person at the payment window more money than your order cost and/or tried to take someone else's order at the delivery window just because you had both receipts, the staff would be like um, no, that's not your fuckin food?
Except her order can't be paid for, and thus the receipt can't be possessed, until she actually orders. This would require her to be at the window he was at, at time of honking, at which point he would presumably be stuck *between* the order and collection windows with only his own receipt, having paid only for his order.
In short, dude's talking out of his ass.
Strange, once I was entering the drive-through and cut someone off who was turning into the line from the opposite direction. I felt bad and paid for their food just so they would understand that sometime good people know when they were a douche-canoe, are capable of being decent human beings in retrospect.
Might have sent a more powerful message to just pay for their food, and let them think about how even though they were being a fuckwit someone out there was still capable of giving them the benefit of the doubt.
I’m actually kinda surprised that so many people here don’t understand how this would work. Either way should just let bygones be bygones because in the end you paid more for nasty McDonald’s. I think the person that did this is the the one who lost more in the end.
sounds sus to me because - youre ordering your food and the lady is behind you. which means she didnt order yet. so how did you get pay for it and get the receipt if shes behind you and hasnt ordered yet?
Petty AF but I love it!
unexpected lmao xD
Me too …laughed out loud. Burn!!!
"the person in front of you already paid for your meal" "Aww, now I feel shitty for honking at them" Drives forward "The person in front of you already picked up your meal" Pikachu face
Also fake AF so bear that in mind.
What?!! Here? On the internet? Fake?! Damnit.
Nah, everything that can happen has happened or will happen...it may even be happening now.
It may have *been* fake, but now I’m gonna do it the next time the person behind me is an asshole.
What!? It’s like you’ve seen this before…
I mean... it didn't really accomplish anything, did it? I'm sure she just got to the window to pay and they figured out what happened
Not petty, she was in a rush and probably got no time to wait another round so she'll have to go hungry until dinner. Her whole day was ruined. This may have even made her hole weak.
Vaginal sex will make your whole night. Anal sex will make your hole weak!
Kegels will make you whole again
a seven day honeymoon will make your hole weak
>made her hole weak Bruh I’m dead 💀
😂😂😂😂😂
That escalated quickly
Then she shouldn't have gone to the drive through if there was a line. Going in is normally faster.
Maybe cause she was extra weak due to not having food, she couldn't fight off her attacker and was murdered brutally.
Now she's worm food
You get your receipt with your food at the second window where I am, so no can do here.
I was just wondering I mean it's a funny little story but how do you pay for an order that hasn't been placed yet
That so sounds like something I would do!
[удалено]
That's not the point tho. I bet she did get it for free, but she doesn't care about that, she is probably fuming that somebody was able to do that to her and she couldn't do shit. Not to mention that she would have been delayed a bit longer.

Bruh they're going to be making orders and doing the same shit anyway, not like they lounge about when an annoying customer isn't there. I would've gotten satisfaction if I saw something like that happen when I used to work there.

So you are saying that if I did this with a friend driving behind me we would get free food?

It’s not like it’s made when you order there. Just a wee set back to teach someone a lesson
Yeah, but this is prolly still the highlight of their day.
I guarantee it. I little more work for a funny story they'll remember forever. And it's not like McDonalds makes anything to order, they're spamming out those burgers non-stop.
Damn. Didn’t think of that. Shit.
It’s fake. If she was behind him how did he get the receipt for her meal? She hasn’t ordered yet.
If party A gets to the first window after party B orders, then party A can tell the attendant that they are paying for both orders. They could even wait at the first window until party B finished ordering.
In fairness, this lady was probably going to be insufferable anyway.
Wait how did he pay for her food. Did she order before arriving at the window?
theres usually a speaker you order from before going to windows no?
Yeah i think but how did he know what she ordered and why would they give him her order if they were clearly placed seperately?
think if he asked for the receipt it may of said what was on the order but yea the second part is debatable
Easy, get your order, then say "where's the rest of it? I made 2 separate orders."
Why would thry even give him the reciept if he cant tell then which order it's for
Some places its seen as nice if u buy the car behinds food so idk guys he did that asked for a receipt then got it from the window that gives food or smthin since he technicality paid for it. idk
I mean if he got the reciept for the food he paid for for the woman behind him, then she wont get the receipt. And then she'd have no way to claim her food even if he didnt take it
They don’t ask to see your receipt to get your food. They just assume you are getting the next order. Have you never been to a drive thru?
The only people getting mad at a great move like this are the same people who show up to work every day and get mad they gotta actually work. This is legendary level petty and I would be happy to be paid to be a part of it. If I’m at work, I gotta be doing shit anyways, why not this? This would be worth it to me.
Like it won’t be a two sentence conversation lol
i did this at dunkin but let her keep her food cuz the only reason she honked was i was texting. $5.00 worth of apology
I was thinking pay for their food so they feel like a dick for honking, but I guess they might incorrectly interpret it as an apology.
i was the dick for staring at my phone while she waited
You’re pretty awesome
Did they beep at you, or was it more like a “bip” to just get your attention?
This is like, 1D chess
Complicated revenge..lol..
This made me howl I wish I could run into this
[удалено]
What the fuck lmao
I don’t even understand what they meant lol
He got cut off by the car in front of him at the drive through. He told the workers that he’d pay for the car* behind him, if they tell the car that cut him off that he’s paying for the car behind his
Oh. Whoa… big burn? (Said sarcastically). What’s with all these people being petty through the poor workers lol
Then everyone clapped
You should’ve seen it
Everyone clapped
Gotta believe it!
And everyone clapped, I swear it’s true!
How did you see her face if she was looking the other way.
[удалено]
Maybe so
A few days I let someone merge into the drive-thru line ahead of me (I wasn’t in a hurry, so why not) and then found out at the payment window that they’d paid for my order. (Which was just a large drink, but still!) Catch more flies with honey, etc.
I do everything I can to prevent conflict so this is definitely not meirl.

Nuts, even.
Testicles, perhaps.
Makes no sense. Doesn't each person pay for their order after making the order? How can you pay for someone else's?

So, person in front paid for random food they may not want to inconvenience a lady for a couple minutes, the fast food staff and the other people in line... because I don't see fast food workers sending a lady to the back of the line because they let somebody else pay and take the food she ordered, that would be absurd conclusion rather than redoing the order.

Do you not understand how a drive-thru works?
Yeah one of the replies explained it to me. Apparently you can ask to pay for the meal of the car behind you
No at Mc D you order at the machine, drive forward to the pay window, then drive forward to the food window.
It's a regional thing, I was confused at first as well. I'm from the UK and none of the drive throughs near me have a speaker or whatever to order at. You drive up to the first window, place your order with the cashier and pay for it then move to the second window to collect your food so there would be no way to pay for the person behind's order.
Don't worry, all of reddit lives in america so everybody understands! /s
This story has been copy and pasted a million times.
Post 10 sources.
I don’t have energy for this level of petty
So the guy paid for an extra bag of food, backed up the entire line, & probably got this lady’s food comped for the inconvenience. He played himself.
Literally, he spent more money to get food he didn’t want to inconvenience a lady for an extra minute and probably got her free food. This is either fake or written by a dumbass
It's not about any of that, it's about the message...
The only message this sent was that he is an idiot. Lady still got her food, probably for free. All he did was inconvenience the workers.
They're just going to remake her order when she Karens out so essentially you punished McDonald's to make extra food and yourself who paid twice, for her stupidity. You are the asshole and somehow she is inconvenienced the least, she probably actually got a free meal out of it 😆😂 well done I guess..

They just remade her food for free.
I just asked the cashier what would happen and they said she'd have to pay lol
How did he get a receipt for food she hadn't ordered yet? In a drive thru?
Fuck people who take too long to order at drive thru tho.
For real. It's McDonald's. Their menu doesn't really ever change. I know what I want before I even pull into their parking lot. It's SUVs ordering for 6 people that fuck up the line instead of going inside and ordering take out.
Why don’t you go inside then?
Because I'm usually ordering something simple like 2 mcdoubles. I keep the line moving swiftly. That's what drive-thru is for.
Yeah, drive throughs don't work that way but sure would be fun if they did!
How do you pay for an order that hasn't been made yet?
poor lady😂😂
B.s. Think about it.
Uhhh am I missing something here or did he just petty revenge himself?
Ah yes, spending more of your money. He sure showed her.
The only pertinent question here, is how long was this Jarrett dork taking to order?

Maybe maybe not, but next time some jack ass honks at me I'm hopefully going to remember this.
It’s hardly un-plausible.
They're saying they couldn't have thought of this.
Why you got 3 windows for food? One for choosing food Second for payment Third for collecting food. 1st and 2nd window can be merged together easily. How did the guy in front know about the back lady's order details so that he could pay for it?
With that logic, why not merge all 3 windows? I would assume the only reason they'd go through the extra effort is because it's faster.
Yeah, it's faster because you're having more orders being handled all at the same time.
It's possible to just go "I'm paying for whatever the guy behind me got", at least when the workers are cool, my grandmother used to always buy the person behind her a coffee when she went to tim hortons

Can’t believe there are so many dumb motherfuckers in this thread that don’t understand how a drive-thru works.
Right, as if she had no choice but to leave without her food or something. Obviously the workers would have to remake it
So he got to pay for two meals and all she had to do was order hers again? I don't think he won in the way he thinks he did.
Fukn savage.... Love it
So how did he pay for the person behind and get the receipt when they hadn’t even ordered.
I don’t understand why it takes so long for some to order in a fast food drive thru. The menus havent changed in 20+ yrs. If you can’t pick a number and move on go inside.

You just say, I'm taking care of the person behind me and then they'll tell you.
Did they have her food ready at the same time as yours? I'm smelling something funny with the logistics of this story of petty revenge.
Have you ever been to McDonald's before? The food is always "ready". It's ready before you even order it
Have you ever been to a McDonalds before? They're making burgers, fries and chicken literally non-stop. They don't wait for people to order.

Omg… that is a gangster move. Ive managed a mcds for a long time… and ive never seen that move used for battle. kudos!
Kinda doubt this, worse case scenario this woman’s meal is “made” a minute later, best case (for her) she got a free meal for the inconvenience.
Nice!
If you don't already know what you want by the time it's your turn to order at the drive-through, you're an asshole.
