This is one of the biggest complaints about fast food restaurants. I know it's a good idea to check the order before leaving, but I really don't like doing that. Checking to make sure you have the correct number of items is easy, but having to unwrap everything and make sure it was prepared correctly is messy, especially in the car. Sometimes it's hard to tell what's on those sandwiches without really taking them apart. And then you have to put them back together and rewrap. I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't think that should be necessary. I understand why mistakes happen, such as the noisy environment, bad speakers, etc., but I think the main reason is too many people just don't listen or have trouble understanding English. I realize that many of you think people who get paid minimum wage shouldn't have to care about their jobs, but I disagree. There's nothing wrong with taking pride in your work no matter what it is or how much you get paid.
The other thing that bothers me is how much food is wasted. Every time an incorrect order is returned, it gets thrown away. There's just something wrong with that. At the risk of sounding like our parents, there ARE starving people in the world and right here in our own country. It seems disrespectful to throw away perfectly good food just because people don't pay attention to what they're doing.
I'm not sure what the solution is, but I do think there's room for improvement when it comes to getting orders right.
