I like the mobile ordering because I loathe yelling my order through a bad speaker/microphone thing, and then having to repeat it over because they still can't hear me.

I use the Sonic app all the time, which gives you 1/2 off drinks anytime you use it.

what is the deal with dunkin donuts and their half assed job at mobile ordering

if you order 5 to 10 minutes ahead of time, it is never ready. what is the point of mobile order if you have to drive to the window, say "pickup for the kangaroo" then wait at the window for them to make the gd drink

Is your Wendy's horrendously slow at times? I've been to handful down here that are really slow, even during non-peak hours.

WSJ had an article about Wendy's adding breakfast to their menu...hmm.
My Wendy’s is insanely slow. They also get super pissed that you decided to go there to get food.
The Wendy's I go to is on university Blvd in Moon. It's not terrible though they often take one order at a time. So the mobile is nice. It's not fast but isn't really that slow either.
Hm, this is where I go to for a Wendy's lunch, too. The drive thru is always nuts.

Similarly, I ordered Eat 'N Park drive-thru pickup a while back. Got there and there was about 8 cars in line waiting for food. Clearly the jag in the first vehicle came to the window too early and they just allowed them to sit there and wait for it to be done.

The time before that a cop was conducting a traffic stop and the dickbag driver chose to stop in the pickup lane. I just went to the counter to get it which threw off their whole system.

Why can't we have nice things?

I enjoy getting up early and using eatnpark drive thru to pick up a lot of grilled stickies and surprising family before they get up.

Noticed chick Fila finally added "dine in" as an option on mobile ordering.

Was out early enough on a Sunday that there were less than double digit cars on the Tim Hortons drive thru. Just the simple sausage egg & cheese biscuit and they were delectable

As a Wendys devotee and former employee, they tried this at least twice before and failed.

When I worked there in high school we served breakfast. It was only for employees and involved snarfing down all the bacon you could eat after they cooked it for the day.

Was going to give them a try here in Kansas, but have been hitting up every BBQ place I could find instead.

There's a random one by Carowinds and Cabela's on the South Carolina side of Charlotte.

We had lunch there today, I'd never had their food before.

Passed one on the way home from a store and decided to stop in for lunch. The burger was a little on the greasy side, but still good. I love that they actually fry the onions.

We don’t have it in Philly, either. We didn’t have any, but they have a large selection of custard items on the menu, too.

That seems like it would be difficult to win... How many fast food joints are you stopping at on each vacation? Does it carry over to the next vacation?

I assume you just have to see it or a sign for it, not actually eat there.

I was in a position that was like 40 percent travel for 2 years.. That's where it started with coworkers. And yeah it carried over for the entirity of my tenure. I guess it isn't a game you win... Lol

there's a Culver's near one of the golf clubs we frequent. our favorite after-round treat is fries with cheese sauce and a small concrete. :fist:

McDonald's and In-N-Out are the only burger chains of which I have no direct knowledge of any location ever closing.
