What's up with Burger King ... ?


Last Tuesday, my co-worker and i ordered lunch from Burger King. Now i don't know what's wrong with BK or this branch in particular "which delivers to offices", but i fairly know that BK mishref is the best one.Any how, everytime we order something wrong goes on. Either we get accused of taking extra money, suffer their delivery delay which can last up to 1 hour and 30 minutes, the meal arrives cold or they just discard the special request we ask for when placing the order.
My friends kids meal arrived without a beverage. And obviously, kids meal should come with a small soft drink. Not a major issue of course. She called them and asked for her Cola to be delivered.
Not a 10 minutes pass by and my phone rings:
  • Operator: Madam .......... ? [surly i'm not madam, damn it :\]

  • Me: na3am.

  • Operator: m3aki modeer ma63am burger King.

  • Me: uha, ok, tfathal

  • Operator: 3afwan ana asif 3ala ez3agek bs 3ala mawdoo3 el pepsi elly ma we9elshy

  • Me: uha

  • Me: OK!!!!

  • Operator: uhh motshakir awy sit ........ oo asfeen 3ala ez3agek.

  • Me: mo mishkela, ya hala.

I opened my sandwhich and i see freaking tomatos and onions when i asked specifically that they should be removed :\ but what the hell, khla9 6af ....
Suddenly, my phone rings again:

  • Me: aloo ...

  • Operator: madam ........ ?

  • Me: yes! [feels fed up with madam]

  • Operator: 3awfan ana asif 3ala ez3agek ...

  • Me: la mo mishkela, sheno we9al el pepsi?

  • Operator: la2a del wa2ty inshalla 7a5aly el sawag yejeblek el pepsi

  • Me: ok ....

  • Operator: bs 7ab at2akid eta9alty 3ala el far3?

  • Me: la walla lel7een, bs a5ali9 '3aday inshalla adig 3laihom.

  • Operator: howa bo9y 7adretek lo eta9alty 3laihom del wa2ty bekoon a7san, 3ashan ma ye9ersh feeh moshkela m3a el sawag.

  • Me: ee ok, inshalla ra7 adig 3laih.

  • Operator: del wa2ty allah ye5aleky.

  • Me: OKAAY!

  • Operator: ana mot2asif gedan 3ala ez3agek ..

  • Me: mo mishkela

I continued eating my sandwhich which was little bit different than the one they make in mishref but what the hell, it's BK anyways :P


Next, I went to the rest room and suddenly, my phone rings, again!!!
This time i was really fed up and got extremly irritated!! so i told my friend to pick it up. I don't know what went between them two but it was clearly about the call thingy. All i kept hearing was her saying: ok inshalla ra7 endig ..
I mean wth!!! we WILL call damn it just let us enjoy the feeling of pleasure after the meal!!
I headed back to my seat and she finally called them after their continuos nagging so i felt reliefed that this thing was over.
10 minutes later and my phone rings for the friggin fourth time!!!! Don't they have a better job to do other than nagging on customers? This time i became real furious and decided not to pick up. Another 10 minutes went by and they called again!!! Are they kidding wella sheno?????? I still didn't pick up! khal9 we did what they told us to do, what else? and you won't believe it, but he called again for the seventh time ..!
I do appreciate their over-the-top customer service but not like that!! they really messed up my mood!


But still, they're my favorite fast food restaurant of all times ... :P

looooooool

This is the stupidest customer service i have ever heard of. How could you tolerate such idiocy?! I would have strangled the guy right there and then. WTF!!!!!

Danah said...

lool waay 9ij di3la! tinarfazt just by reading that!

K.thekuwaiti said...

I would have shouted at the guy calling. Then I would have called the branch complaining about the missing coke. Afterwards, I would have contacted the Head-Office .. and complained about the Branch and the annoying guy that called.

Heh, you and your BK addiction. I don't know how you like that restaurant. Personally I think McD's is the best ever, too bad they don't have home delivery. :/

And about that guy, you should have told him "Yes, I called" at once, then skip as if nothing happened. The hell with them trying to cover for each others' mistakes.

KJ said...

Go down to the restaurant, order food, order the soft drink, ask for the modeer, then throw the food at him, and tell him you are not working for him, he is working for you.

He didn't give me a break to say either yes or no! i guess his brain shut down at a certain level of the can of pepsi!

Next time you make an order, check it before you even pay the delivery guy.

Ms Loala said...

We checked it before we take it, it wasnt the drivers' fault obviously, not the operators :\
