No, they don’t give a shit, there’s a difference. They make 100 burgers a day. It’s a completely unconscious autopilot going through the motions while their mind is in a place that doesn’t suck so much.

I worked fast food for several years and the main thing that would have me like this is when someone orders a cheeseburger, no cheese, no tomato, extra pickle, extra onion, no lettuce, add mustard,no mayo, add BBQ, add jalapeno, add bacon,add chili, sub toast, add shred chz. And then 5 more burgers all equally complicated.
The ticket ends up taking up the space of 5 tickets. No pickles shouldn’t be a problem unless you’re making like 20 burgers at a time which definitely happens and the most likely issue is that your burger got mixed up in the other 20 bags they are expected to have out in under 4 minutes.
For simple changes like that I can almost guarantee there is no malicious intent. I’ve never worked with someone in the food industry who got upset over a simple change. It’s always the ones that basically have a whole different sandwich by the time they are done changing things.

I know the workers are most likely hung over/high and only half paying attention, so it usually doesn’t surprise me. I get my burgers with no cheese and that’s a hard one for them to get right 🤣

I love pickles normally but those mcdonalds pickles are fucking nasty.

I used to work in fast food and this only annoys me when I make it regular and you pull up to the window and go oh by the way no pickles.

I work at Burger King and if somebody asks for something left off why would I be mad? That’s just one less thing I have to put on it, meaning less work. What gets me is we have a $3 for $7 special and people will get the Original Chicken Sandwhich, and ask for it to be made like a whopper w/cheese, cut in half. This is the point I start getting irritated, or even worse than that when I make their food as they order and they change their mind at the end, causing me to remake it.

Explain how “use less effort than you normally do” is supposed to enrage assembly line workers.

This is a good strategy because they have to make it fresh. Same goes for fish and chips shops in the UK. I look at what they have waiting on the heated shelf and then order something that isn’t there because I want it super hot and fresh.

I love pickles. I used to request extra when ordering at McDs but I’m lucky if I get more than one pickle slice. Sometimes I’ll get none.

I asked for a plain cheese burger 3x…all 3x damn times they fucking BLASTED it with ketchup, mustard, and mayo. I won’t go to that McDs again. This was in separate months too.

It’s not that serious, nobody in food service probably ever thinks about you.

I mean at maccas Ive seen the slips over the counter and there is a giant No Pickles thing on the ticket.
I imagine they have muscle memory of every burger with and without pickles.

I’m the ‘ketchup lettuce and mayo only guy’. Your spit tastes like hopelessness. Either rise up and run the place or consider it a stepping stone to your next big move. You got this. You’re loved.

90 percent of your burgers are just a bog standard burger and you kinda get into a habit of making it. Totally possible to just go on autopilot and make it
The other way is they are understaffed or under trained too
