Usually receipts have the restaurant # on them and I include that. Each time Ive been sent a voucher of some sort for a free meal the next time I go in.<br /> I guess I have too much time on my hands though :-).. just not enough to drive back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-347182 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 13:11:43 +0000 MsMini 347182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go back I think ... but we always check the bag before we drive away. It only takes a couple seconds to peek in the bag and do a little inventory! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-347174 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 13:07:28 +0000 sunny 347174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: haha that's what DH said, but it was more about eating my meal without the fries. It's an integral part if I'm going to be indulging in Mcd's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-347070 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 12:45:50 +0000 Mommy Finger 347070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our McD's isn't that far away but I've definitely made DH go back for stuff they forget or make wrong. He didn't check once and they forgot to give us the second bag. That makes it sound like we had a huge order! But for some reason they bagged our fries and our sandwiches in different bags. We always check our order before driving away now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346871 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:48:21 +0000 heffalump 346871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually just live without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346860 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:46:32 +0000 MrsTiz 346860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't have left without checking if everything was there/right in the first place ;P</p> <p>If I made it all the way home, I wouldn't go back that night..how easily could people lie about that? 15 min later is plenty of time to eat fries so I'd assume they wouldn't believe me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346852 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:44:27 +0000 blackbird 346852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a dollar or two's worth of fries, I'd let it slide. I do always check my bag before I pull away, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346526 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 10:27:50 +0000 prettylizy 346526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would pout and beg DH to go back!! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346517 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 10:25:50 +0000 HabesBabe 346517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before baby, I would go back... but post-baby, it's not worth it to strap her back in and make the trip. This actually happened to us the other night (at Jack in the Box... they forgot our tacos!) and we decided against going back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346440 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 10:04:23 +0000 mrs. wagon 346440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For this specific reason (many many times I was disappointed in no fries, etc) Wagon Sr. insists on going through the entire bag of order while sitting at the drive-thru window before driving off. Annoying but worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346428 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 09:59:49 +0000 Alivoo01 346428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd definitely call immediately to let them know. They normally offer you to come back and pick it up or put your name on a tab for future pick up. If it's close enough, I'd go back. Otherwise, I'd take an IOU. I paid for it, I want it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346387 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 09:48:31 +0000 tororojo 346387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call them and expect free ones when you go back. I always check right after I pull away from the window to make sure we've got everything because I have been screwed by fast food places a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346047 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 07:16:47 +0000 yellowbird 346047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go back!! McDonald's fries are heaven! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346044 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 07:14:08 +0000 Smurfette 346044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it was the fries I would have to go back. That is my favorite part, esp at McDonald's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346036 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 07:06:08 +0000 DillonLion 346036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on what they forgot lol. DH. Would have to return to get my fries. that is the best part of fast food!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-346000 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 06:38:11 +0000 mediagirl 346000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is why my husband refuses to ever go through the drive-through (unless we're sick or something). He has to check the bag to make sure we got everything we were supposed to get. Drives me BONKERS because I hate going in but I guess it's good we never miss part of our order? Blah, both are annoying. Sorry you missed out on your fries!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-345994 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 06:30:50 +0000 sunny 345994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided that it was too much trouble/too late at night/too hungry to go back for fries. So I stewed for a bit while I ate my burger. There was a phone # for the restaurant on the receipt, so I gave it a call and they said they remembered our order and apologized and next time we come in they'll replace our order! </p> <p>Funny how an apology and promise of free food makes it all better :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-345921 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 00:37:27 +0000 runsyellowlites 345921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This actually happened to me the other night.... at McDonald's! I'm on such a restricted diet that my stuff is always "modified" and there are VERY few places I can eat other than home so, most of the time if I'm stopping to pick something up I'm too tired and too lazy to cook and generally too hungry to wait any longer soooooooo I just deal with it. =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-345919 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 00:33:36 +0000 alayaya 345919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty lazy and I don't like confrontation, so I probably would just let it go. I might not ever go back to that restaurant though. I hold grudges ;)</p> <p>Recently we called for Chinese food delivery and when our food still hadn't shown up in 1.5 hours I called them and they were like "oh sorry, we got busy. It will be another 45 minutes" so I said "you know what, that is unacceptable. We'll just cancel our order." Then we went to McDonald's (at that point it was almost 9pm and we were starving). We haven't ordered from that restaurant since, and probably won't for a long time... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-345914 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 00:28:14 +0000 brownie 345914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I at least call to let them know. If McDs was close enough, I would go back. I am a very picky water and inspect my food before leaving the pickup window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-forgot-part-of-our-to-go-order#post-345908 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 00:25:36 +0000 sunny 345908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just brought home McD's tonight for dinner (so not healthy, but it's our guilty pleasure). And when we opened up the bag, they forgot our fries! The fries are my favorite part :-(</p> <p>If this happened to you... what do you do now? Or in general, if a restaurant forgot part of your to go order, what would you do? </p>
