What really annoys you?

Even worse, having to order your meal from a drop down before you go in too.

Shockingly I am all for Apps for the ordering of food and beverages - it is a huge timesaver. Is there anything more anoying than the person in the Starbucks drive-through ordering 8 custom designer drinks over the speaker, then when getting to the pick up window complaining because one of them is not quite right. then waiting there while they make another drink AND HAVING EVERYONE WAIT BEHIND THEM. I would pull into a parking space out of courtesy and have them bring it out, so that the rest of the world can keep on turning, not filled with my own self centred importance!

I’ve stopped going to one of my favourite places to eat due to their “ recent order before you arrive policy “

I appreciate it means they it must save a lot of money / waste, as they can cost / prep everything via the pre orders.

However, it just feels all too impersonal and almost conveyor belt like and someone else said, I like to look at the menu and decide what I’m going to have when I sit down.

It sounds mad, but it almost feels like ordering a sit down takeaway.

what about the ones with really bad body odour in the elevator at work? I mean should you say something - do they know?
Feel the same about halitosis - I mean if it were me Id want someone to quietly take me aside and bring it to my attention so I could do something about it.

knew a guy in college who had immeasurably bad halitosis. a friend asked him about it one time and he responded, "yeah, I'm trying to do something about it." no idea what that means and not sure I want to know. but I'd also like to know I have friends who would say something to me about it, so...

That's bonkers. Never heard of that before. What happens if you turn up without pre-ordering?

Also add that going to get a takeaway has been absolutely ruined by Deliveroo/Just Eat etc. taking priority. Go to the local chippy, only person in there and wait 15 minutes for food as 6 Deliveroo orders come and go. Also - and probably makes me sound like an idiot, I realise - but there's something unnerving about being in a Maccas with a load of blokes in Motorbike helmets looking agitated. Going to get a takeaway used to be a nice thing.

No idea tbh, as when you book your table online, you get directed to the “ pre ordering menu page “ where it tells you that you have to book what you want to eat in advance.

I’m assuming they still take walk ins when they have tables left that haven’t been booked ?
