EV of fast food drive thru
 

So I'm the drive thru today with a friend and we're getting food. Food is for me, my friend and other friend at home. Girl driving is very agg.

So we get the food for all three of us and she lives 5 min away. We don't check the food. Of course when we get home the food is wrong, and we have to go back.

So my question is, is it +EV to check the bag every single time you get food in the drive thru. Or is it better to just see what happens when you get home.

Is it wrong often enough to waste the time checking in the car? (3 bags of food?)

(on a side note when I got back I tried to pull the threesome.)

it takes 10-20 seconds to check on average. +ev to check each and every time.

I usualy pull forward so the next guy can get to the window and check to make sure it's right.

sadly enough, Ive thought about this, becuse there is a [censored] taco bell near my house that NEVER EVER remembers that I specifically say "no sour cream on anything pls". It is a case by case basis Ive concluded, Ill check some places but not others.

Re: EV of fast food drive thru
 

Don't check if you don't order anything made special. But as soon as you ask to hold the pickles on your hamburger, then you'd better check.

I have to check since I'm extremely picky.

This is extremely important. You're one of the good ones.

Yeah, any deviation seems to short circuit their brain, and the order will be messed up.

I know a girl who is real bad about this. Cannot order anything straight off the menu, and gets really pissed when the order is messed up.

So one day I take her to the drive thru and she starts with something really stupid like telling the guy she wants the cheesburger with tomato, "but not a really big tomato, like two small slices" ...

At that point I just put the car in gear and drive off.

more food = more need to check
special order = check unless you really don't care

Re: EV of fast food drive thru
 

I pull ahead so the next guy can get to the window. I check to see if all my stuff is there. If they made my double cheeseburger wrong (I only get pickles and cheese), then that's the risk I take going to MCD's. But I remember I got a whole different order one time and had to go back in to get my stuff.

Yea, always check your stuff.

Same here

I never have to check at McDonald's - unless I'm getting a dipping sauce and/or ketchup, but you can usually witness that part from the window. I can see checking if you ordered the burger special.

Taco Bell is [censored] retarded. Actually, maybe they're not, it might be my gf's fault...she always wants a side of salsa (half of them don't know what this means), and a side of sour cream. There's regular random stuff Taco Bell forgets too though.

And yes I do this, but get nervous that I didn't pull up far enough or pulled up too far to block parking lot traffic. I also get worried that the guy will finish before I'm done checking.

Please stop using the +EV thing here.
