Queueing in fast food restos

[boybi]

Why is it that people who queue in fast food chains only start to choose their order when it's their turn to give their orders. I mean, they have lots of time to decide what they want to eat while falling in line, but they don't. Nagmumuni-muni lang habang nakapila.

Ang magbf-gf ang usual na gumagawa niyan. While in line, pahug hug, pakiss kiss pabulong bulong atbp. :hammer:

kasi kulang pera nila kaya nagiisip pa kung anung budget meal swak sa pera nila?...

Minsan sa SM Makati Fastfood.....Mahaba ang pila sa Tokyo Tokyo. May isang teenager na nauna sa amin sa pila. While she was waiting for her turn, panay ang lingon nya as if looking for something. Yun pala may mga kasama pala siya, bale siya lang ang pinapila. So nung turn na nyang um-order, nak ng teteng.....lumapit na mga kasama niya (they're 6, isang pamilya, may mga bata pa), di pa alam kung ano ang oorderin. Dami nainis sa kanila kasi di makapag decide kung ano bibilhin nilang pagkain.

We pulled out from the queue and ended up eating somewhere else.

kaasar nga pag ganyan ang sinusundan mo sa pila

Numero uno ang KFC sa pahabaan ng pila at patagalan ng order nationwidest!!!

Nakakainis din yung 1 person ordering for 20!

Oras na may sumablay sa isang order, tatawagin pa niya yung affected person to get alternatives. All the while, hindi na umaandar yung queue.

Ex.

ma'am: 2 bigmac meal, yung isa regular lang, coke, yung isa upsize, sprite.
ma'am: 1 quarter pounder, sandwich only.
ma'am: 1 quarter pounder meal, sprite.
ma'am: 1 mcchicken

crew: ma'am --- yung mcchicken 15 minutes pa po.

ma'am: <waves her hand to a guy seated at the far corner of the mcdo outlet and calls him....>
guy: Ay 15 mins pa? Ano kaya ... hmmm... big mac na lang kaya...pero ayoko eh... <meditates for 13 minutes>
guy: How about fillet-o-fish
ma'am to crew: Fillet-o-fish na lang.
crew: Ay ma'am 10 mins pa po.
ma'am to guy: 10mins pa raw.
guy: hmmmm... sige na nga mcchicken na lang. I'll wait na lang.

Crew then processes all orders...
guy 2: After the receipt is issued, he runs over to the counter and whispers something to the ma'am.
ma'am to crew: Ay...na punch na? Pahabol sana ng hot fudge sundae. New receipt na lang.

Baka naman hindi sila familiar sa food na ino offer at siguro hindi rin nila kamibasado ang price and/or masyadong maliit ang details such price etc na naka post sa menu(?) sa counter.

hahaha pet peeve ko rin yan. dapat din may alternative ka nang handa kung sakali wala yung primary order mo.

Go to Jollibee or McDonald's Antipolo - they are notorious for this.

When we go to Antipolo every May to attend mass, we often go to Mcdo or Jollibee to take a snack after the mass and yes, the line is ugh ... long.

KFC sa Megamall Bldg B -, grabe din sa pila. Init pa ng place. Kaya if I`m in Megamall and I want to eat in KFC I go straight in their Bldg. A branch near Chowking. Mas kaunti tao at mas presko pa.

I fully agree with what you've said.
Once you're at the counter, you've every right to stay there until you're done conducting your business.

HOWEVER, unfair naman doon sa mga malas na naispan pumila sa likod mo. That is why I want the fastfoods to adopt the single-line queueing system. 1 line. Many counters. Para kung turn mo na, at gusto mong mag ubos ng oras sa counter, the person behind you will still get serviced when another counter becomes available.

Minsan kasi bad trip talaga --- you enter the fastfood joint. You see three lines... You pick one line. Then you notice that the two lines next to you are moving fast! In fact, the person at the far end of the line next to you is now at the counter, while you just moved forward twice. Then you notice that the person at the counter on your line is taking a lot of time to order. If you move to another line, lugi ka! Pipila ka na naman ng matagal. Malay mo yung nilipatan mong line meron ding mabagal umorder.

Iyan ang tamang pagpila,- single line going to multiple counters.... Para fair sa lahat ng pumipila at walang luck na mabagal o mabilis ang napilahan dahil everyone benefits from a counter with fast service.... Dapat lahat ganyan ang sistema...

(Kaya ang iba,- 2 o 3 ang pinapapila,- kung sino ang mauna,- duon sila....)
