Most everyone and their brother has eaten fast food, but not everyone including your brother, has worked in a fast food restaurant. There is a trick to increasing your chance of not getting sloppy, cold, crusty or otherwise unappetizing fast food, without going in to complain and have it remade. It's actually rather simple, just be considerate and polite to the workers. Now many people are just oblivious to what it is they're doing to upset their friendly fast food cook. Here is an quick list of do's and don't's for visiting any fast food restaurant advised by a taco bell store manager.

The drive thru:
This is where a great deal of patrons end up with fast food burritos with two hand fulls of onions and enough sauce to ruin a good pair of pants, because they are in a hurry, but only to get what they want done.

Tip 1: Do not come to the drive thru if you have 6 people in the car that have no idea what they want. Come inside, where you can stare at the menu as long as you wish.

Tip 2: Do not talk "smack" about the fast food, any workers you know inside, or possibly anyone depending on how small your town is, someone may be in relation. Besides, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Why?

As your sitting there arguing with your five kids, indecisive grama or friends everyone inside CAN hear you. I must stress this. Just because you said, "I'm not ready" or "Hold on", or even pulled up and remained silent, the speaker is ON, and can hear you. The drive thru is supposed to be fast, if you sit there 10 minutes deciding what fast food item you want today, you do two things to annoy your fast food crew inside. One, you build a long line of people who are now going to be grumpy that they waited in line. Two, you have both prevented them from doing anything but standing there waiting to make, or take your fast food order, and you've run up their drive time. Which leads me to my next couple of tips.

Tip 3: Finish your phone conversation before entering the drive thru, and don't begin one while in the drive thru. This includes, "Oh, hold on let me call *insert someone* and see if they want anything..". Do that before you pull in, or again, come inside.
