    I'd write them a thank you letter for saving you 160 calories, 10g of fat and 360mg of sodium

    This!

    Seconded.

    Drive thru/take away experiences:

    BK overcharged me. I complained right there and he wouldn't have any of it. I overpaid, then sent a note to the DA, who audited them.

    BK made me a burger w/o the burger. That was when they just started vegie burgers, which is what I'd asked for.

    BK food poisoning w/ a chicken burger. Manager blew it off, can't be proven.

    Qdoba - no guac, just the charge. Did not get a coupon, blew me off.

    You need to stop frequenting that particular BK.

    This is over a lifetime. BK is not my fav place. Taco Bell gave me someone else's order once. Tried it, wished I hadn't.

    Holy Zarquon, Zaphod - next time, just take your chances with the Infinite Improbability Drive... and if that doesn't work, just shrug yoru shoulders and imagine them being yelled at by their manager - then it becomes an SEP (Somebody Else's Problem.)

    As long as you know where your towel is, it's all good.

    Stay hoopy, my friend.

    I fluffy heart this. Many times. :love: :flowerforyou:

    Pull out of the drive through, park the vehicle, check your bags, figure out what's missing, take the bag and walk into McDonalds. Walk right up to the counter and ask to speak with whoever's in charge right now please.
    Explain nicely what's missing and that you're really not happy about it. Tell them to make it right please. Leave with hashbrown and bag.

    Look up intermittent fasting and avoid the problem. Or thank them.

    I went through the drive thru and got my usual (#2 with coffee). I was already a few miles away and on the freeway when I realized that they forgot to include the hash browns. My breakfast was pretty much ruined. What should I do now? Do I have any recourse?

    do you still have the reciept? if so, call them up and tell them what happened and they should take down your info and you should get it for free. at least thats how we do things at BURGER KING!

    They ripped me off of 160 calories, 10g fat, and 360mg of sodium and I should THANK them for this? It's been hard enough lately hitting my sodium target. :noway:

    Wait wait wait...according to MFP and McDonald's website its only 150 calories, 9g fat, and 310mg sodium. Now now lets not be too hasty in assigning extra calories to the hashbrowns. They werent the one causing this mayhem. They were simply sitting there hanging out under the heat lamp.

    I used the Canadian values, as I live in Canada, and I am slowly trying to change the world, one hasbrown at a time.

    There is nothing you can do

    Actually, if you take your recipt back (if they didn't give you one, you're supposed to get a free ice cream) and tell them you didn't get it but was already at work, they'll give you something free.

    Is it bad I know this?

    I don't think its a bad thing to know. People are usually trying to get something for free by saying they didn't get it. Therefore, its always good to call the place of business or go in with the reciept and explain the situation and get it replaced

    Pretty much all you have to do with something like this is call and talk to the manager. Be calm and reasonable. You'll almost always get a coupon for a free meal plus your money back.

    Like I said before, I'd just call in or walk in and let them know so they can fix it.
    My simple solution is to not eat at fast food places. I'd rather save myself a few dollars, buy the food myself. Then I can make what I want when ever I want and have fewer calories. :happy:
    But I know that some people have a busy schedule and doesn't have the time to do that. I just like to know what I am eating ingredients wise.

    Next time you go there, order everything as usual, after you've received your order and are good to go, throw an egg at the drive-thru attendant's face and scream, "THAT'S FOR FORGETTING MY HASH BROWNS LAST TIME I WAS HERE!!!"
