When I was in high school {cough} six years ago, my friends and I often headed to a Jack-in-the-Box franchise for late night chow. We used to joke that ordering was optional. They would just give you whatever they had made. I think we once just asked (always at the drive-up) for $20 worth. They were not amused.
The strip mus be more than 4 weeks old – no social distancing or masks in the crowd.I wonder if Greg Cravens thought about pencilling in masks subsequentially (before having it published).
My wife typically allows a fast food place (or any other kind of store… We don’t go to Sam’s any more-long story) a time or two of incorrect orders before announcing that we won’t go there again. Except in the case of a nearby big-chain “taco” place. She inexplicably loves their food and hasn’t put her foot down about the dozens of incorrect orders and fumbles. Thank heaven 1) they started doing slightly better lately and 2) all their food is made from the same five things, so even when they get it wrong, it’s kinda similar to being right. You can thank them for today’s cartoon, I guess.
It looks like I may shop at the same fast food places as the Buckets.
Did Greg inadvertently draw me into today’s strip? Or did he just miss me so much, he did it subconsciously? The world will probably never know. However, thank you Greg!
We went to a McDonald’s drive through in northern Virginia for two coffees, milk and sugar. Got down the road a few blocks and discovered they were black. Went back to store and told we had to come in and get creamers and sugar.

He’s lucky to have any customers at all.

In 50+ years of dealing with fast food places, I can only think of 3-4 times my order was wrong.

Hey, c’mon! It’s only fair: you order what YOU want, they give you what THEY want.
