As most of you know I eat Mexican fast food almost daily. No matter where I go I order a bean & cheese burrito and a cheese quesadilla with a medium coke. That sounds simple, right? No it's not, somehow from the time the order exits my mouth and enters into the computer it's wrong. I always check my order while I'm leaving the drive thru, but it's pointless because who really has time to get back in line to have it corrected? You could drive back around to go inside, but the whole reason you went through the drive-thru is to avoid the line of people and to make lunch a quick stop.
So today I went through the Del Taco drive thru, ordered my usual and drove up to the window. The guy asks me if I want sauce, I ask for the Del Scorcho and pay the man. He hands me a macho drink with a 2 half pound burritos, no quesadilla and a handful of Del Inferno sauce packets. I drive away and look in the bag, notice that it's all wrong and by that time I'm too far out of the parking lot to turn around for them to fix my food, not to mention the risk of having some little employee be offended and spit in my food. I ate the burritos anyway which were disgusting because the 1/2 pounders are mainly beans which would be alright if there was a sauce to put on them, but the Del Inferno is too hot and frankly doesn't taste good at all.
I don't understand how they can manage to mess up all of my orders no matter where I go. I realize it's only fast food, but it seems to be only fast food Mexican places that can't get it right. Is it due to their inability to speak or comprehend the English language? It's a huge pet peeve of mine and what makes it even worse is that I don't like any other fast food! I rarely eat meat, so the regular Burger King & McDonald's places are out of the question. The closest Subway looks like it made a deal with the jail and all they have working for them are people on "work release" with gang tattoos and no teeth. How can you eat a sandwich when some guy looks like he just smoked a doobie in the back room and then wants to handle your food. No way. So my only option now is to eat at home or face the fact that my order at Del Taco or Taco Time will never be right and just eat whatever they make for me.
Can Obama or McCain do something about this problem in my little world?

I can totally relate to this post and it is so irritating! I loved catching up on your blog, it is so much fun. I loved the post on the forks, so funny! Me and my friends are going to the movie wearing team Edward or Team Jacob shirts, I can't wait!
Oh I love Del Taco! But that just happened to me!! So frustrating isn't it!?
I am sorry to tell you that this phenomenon also applies to restaurants of the gringo persuasion! After years of Tony's plain-meat-and-cheese only ultimate cheeseburger always showing up with sauces (and yes, that is exactly how I order the burger) I am now the annoying lady in front of you in the drive through who isn't moving and you can't figure out why. I literaly open the burger and thumb through all three patties before I'll move my car!
Obama??? Well, I'm sure he can "Nigga Rig" something. McCain...You know it would be right because he knows how to choose them. Sarah is just plain flat out Good Looking! As far as making it right. Start eating meat like your supposed to and become one of us "Meatatarians". It's always right. Order Chorizo...That is never wrong. Yes...Tony is picky too. Him and his Sahara burgers and sandwiches. Remember when he would eat an entire loaf and a half of bread and Bologna with out anything else on it to help slid them down?
