We ended up having an impromptu large family gathering and we decided to get some chicken to go from a fast food place. We got there at 8:45 and they close at 10:00. It was a large order so we were prepared to wait and had no problem with the potential wait time. While we were waiting, a worker kept loudly complaining about there being no chicken and having to cook it. All the other workers were preparing the incoming orders and one even said that they had been very slow and then gotten a few orders so they were trying to keep up. I told them it was no problem and that we completely understood. The one worker kept saying that if it was them they would cancel orders because they leave in an hour and that it’s ridiculous for people to order so late. They would walk out and say I quit then come back inside. I’ve never worked in the restaurant industry but I feel like an hour and 15 is plenty of time to prepare the food. Again, it was a to go order so they wouldn’t have to clean up after us. I hate being a burden to service workers so if was please let me know!
There should be a time when the restaurant close for new orders, a time when customers are send out of the restaurant and a time when the employees leave at the end of their shift when everything is cleaned.
If the restaurant is scheduling everything badly then this is not your fault for becoming late. They could have refused the order and decide to take it.
This is their problem.
