I worked as a pizza delivery guy for a big corporate pizza company. This man had ordered a pizza to be delivered to his home. The advertised price was $12.99. The final price was $18:35 (tax and delivery charge). I took the worst cussing ever from a customer.

After a long day out of town (our town is very small so most of our shopping has to be done hours away), it’s nice to come home with a meal someone else cooked and in containers you won’t have to wash – and that was the exact reason we had for stopping at a […]

My first job was working at what is still one of my favorite fast food restaurants, specializing in chicken. The schedule was perfect and the benefits of free meals on break definitely appealed to me as a 16-year-old. I was quickly moved from a fry station to drive-thru based on my customer skills and speed. […]

We ordered from a well-known pizza chain in Western Canada, one that we’ve ordered from numerous times before and […]

This experience happened about a week ago when my family decided to order a pizza for dinner. The pizza place was a small deep-dish restaurant that also delivered. We love deep-dish pizza and we knew it would be about 35-45 minutes until it was done. They quoted us a time of about an hour and […]

This incident happened at least 10 years ago. I was in a food court in a local mall with my niece (she was about 6 at the time) for her dance class. After dance class she wanted a frozen fruit juice from the new stand that just went in (not part of a chain). The […]

Let me preface last night’s disaster with the original encounter: Two weeks ago, I decided to treat the family to take-out. I was going to pick up some Buffalo chicken fingers […]

We were a group of college kids taking a geology field trip. We left Wichita around noon, and headed west for Colorado. As a geological field trip, we stopped at every outcrop and formation of rocks along the way between here and there. By the time we made it to Colorado Springs, the instructor started […]

My Humiliation

in Fast Food Stories

I once decided to treat myself to a meal out at a local fast food joint. As I was queuing up, I kept thinking to myself that I had forgotten to do something before eating out. I shook it off and finally reached the counter where a rather bad tempered looking lad was waiting for […]

This was back in about 1999 or 2000 when my family had been on the way home after a Hot Air Balloon event in Howell; we stopped at McD’s near Hartland, on Highland Rd next to US-23. It was late Sunday afternoon but it appeared the employees there were expecting a slow day and not […]
