Back in the early nineties, Taco Bell offered a pretty terrific bargain menu. It was such a deal that whenever my sister or I had friends over to spend the night, my mom would get take-out beans and rice, tacos and burritos, managing to feed a crowd for less than $10 (this was before we were aware just how much nasty stuff that food contains). The one problem with our local 'Bell was that they almost always screwed up our order, so she'd take me with her to count out the order and ensure that nothing was missing before we drove home. There's nothing worse than sitting down to a take-out meal and discovering that something is missing.
This afternoon, Consumerist reported on one of those disappointing moments. Jarrett had gone to McDonald's to pick up his regular Two Cheeseburger Value Meal. Upon returning home, he discovered that one of his hamburgers was missing the meat patty. It had everything else, ketchup, pickles, onions and cheese, just no meat. How disappointing!
What's the worst take-out or fast food gaffe you've experienced?
