That would upset me too.

AlonsoTigerHeart · 05/08/2018 09:43

get it swapped?

idonthaveatattoo · 05/08/2018 09:45

I was home and had already opened it, sadly.

What did you order and what did you get? If you have your receipt ring them and you will get a free one next time.

I’ve been burned by this before in a drive thru! Always glance in the bag and check it’s the right thing! Yadnbu I cried when they got mine wrong and have always checked since (I was very pregnant and emotional)

WhatAmISupposedToBeDoing · 05/08/2018 09:47

I'm still sad about the time the lady in Greggs didn't put my cornflakes cake in the bag, and that was years ago! So YANBU.

Ordered egg McMuffin and they gave me a bacon one!

I ordered a bacon McMuffin once and got a sausage. That’s a hell no person should have to go through! 💐

RIP egg mcmuffin

BlueThesaurusRex · 05/08/2018 09:51

Seriously, give them a ring- they’ll give you a free meal next time

That's terrible. What if you were vegetarian or Muslim, Jewish etc?

I've taken wrong or missing orders back and asked for replacement and a refund because I've had to go back and they have refunded as well as replacing the food.

Otherwise, complain to the number on the receipt and ask for a refund. Putting mistakes right and offering a little gesture so the customer is 'in front' is basic customer service.

No it’s infuriating

Awww no. I hate food order wrongness disappointment! Happened to me with a Pizza Hut order a couple of weeks ago, I'd driven there to collect it as well :(

8DaysAWeek · 05/08/2018 10:03

YANBU. We always check what's in the bag now as it's happened way too many times. So disappointing.

Norma27 · 05/08/2018 10:03

I’m veggie and they have often given me meat in mine. If I have got home before realising then I am really upset like you!
I always try to remember to check before I leave now.

kateandme · 05/08/2018 10:04

oh no.we learnt long ago to check the bag.and sip the drink as they always got our 'still' fanta wrong dam them!

Thatsfuckingshit · 05/08/2018 10:04

Call the store.

Last time I got a wrong order, we called and complained. They have us a code and the while meal was free next time.

SweetIcedTea · 05/08/2018 10:06

Just a word of warning, in America they put a slice of ham in their Egg McMuffin. If you ask, they'll make you one without and give you a sympathetic look.

ColdNeverBotheredMeAnyway · 05/08/2018 10:07

Nooooo, that's awful. I'm veggie, and I would cry if I got home to find bloody bacon in there.

Complain, tweet them, make a fuss - you'll get a freebie!

WoollyMollyMonkey · 05/08/2018 10:08

Commiserations OP, (but a bacon McMuffin is awesome, my favourite, can I have it?)

LML83 · 05/08/2018 10:09

My dh is mortified because I check my order at the drive thru every time because I was so disappointed when my order was wrong once!

GaspingGekko · 05/08/2018 10:09

I ordered a mcchicken sandwich at a drive through once. Got home, unwrapped the sandwich, only there was no chicken burger. It was just a Mc lettuce and mayo sandwich. Angry

Kr3000 · 05/08/2018 10:10

They forgot my husbands nuggets once. I've never seen a more angry hungover man.
