    Yup! I went to Hardees last week and got a lowcarb thickburger and a giant diet dr pepper. It fit my macros.

    Anyway, as I am driving back to work I take a sip and it was totally regular Dr Pepper. I dumped out out the window and I wasnt going to turn around. PITA!

    maybe next time you should act like a decent human being and wait until you get to a trash can.

    One time, a few years ago, I went to Taco Bell. They left something out of my order, cheesy fiesta potatoes. I had driven away, and was at home by the time I realized. So I called in to let them know they forgot part of the order. They said next time you come, just let us know and we'll add it in for free. So next time I went in, let them know I needed the free item. They gave me FIVE of them. Holy cow!! Good thing I was going to work and was able to share! LOL

    I was a Starbucks Barista and the best way is to order a "Mocha Frappucino LIGHT" Saying light at the end will clear up the mistake...hopefully!! Make sure to call and let them know so you can get a free one next time :)

    What annoys me even more at restaurants/cafes is when they don't make an item so it corresponds with the ingredients listed on the menu. There is a cafe that I go to a lot and for a while they would add cheese, ranch, or gravy to all sorts of sandwiches, meats, and salads or whipped topping/milk in drinks when it was not listed as ingredient. Some people would love getting a free topping, but for those who can't have dairy it's a pain to wait while they remake it when your in a hurry, not to mention their annoyed because they have to remake it. It's got to the point where I specify no cheese/ranch/gravy/milk/whipped topping on almost everything I order even if it doesn't come with it because half the time it will be made with it if I don't. Then they look at me like I'm crazy when I go to pick it up because the ticket says "Vinaigrette Dressing" and right below that "NO Ranch". I've learned to be really good at checking the box or looking inside the sandwich/wrap before I leave. I also repeat the "special" part of my order to make sure they have it.

    Had a similar experience at McDonald's last night. I ordered an unsweet tea, happily added my two splenda, only to realize they had given me a sweet tea! Straight into the trash it went - blah!
    That happens a lot at McDonald's. I've learned to always taste my tea before adding Splenda.
    Yeah! I always drink unsweet tea. Nothing added. My hubby got me one one time and sure enough they gave him a sweet one!! We have vowed to always taste it before we leave the parking lot. Also there are some McD's where it tasted like the tea was made with leather. I drink this tea all the time and every once in awhile I have to take it back because it taste sour or old. I used to work at McD's and I also know how old tea taste. You gotta watch McDonald's.
