I woke up late and was hungry on the commute to work.
I ordered an Egg and Cheese Biscuit Meal at the drivethu. I expected her to ask what beverage I would like. She didn't. I reiterated that I wanted the meal, and told her I wanted an orange juice as the beverage for the meal. She says 'ok' and to drive up to the 1st window.
I feared a mixup could be due to a language barrier, so I ask the man at the 1st window to repeat the order. Sure enough, she had not given me the meal; just the biscuit and OJ. I asked to him to add the hashbrowns.
When I pulled up to the last window, the lady who took my order handed me OJ and a with just the biscuit. I wait 20 seconds or so just in case they were still getting the hashbrowns ready, but they weren't coming.
Just as I am about to ask her about the hashbrowns, she notices I am still waiting and says "All set" or something unintelligible. I tell her it is not "all set". I hand her the bag back and the receipt which says I purchased the meal. She looks at it, doesn't understand, and brings it to a manager. The manager goes to the window and says "She only charged you for one". I'm utterly confused now. "One what?", I asked.
I told the manager that all I wanted was my hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were the only reason I stopped in here in the first place. Give me my hashbrowns! Half a minute later she hands me my bag back with hashbrowns.
Having someone who communicates poorly at the morning drive thru? It can make a lot  people that are still waking up very cranky.
