I go eat at McDonald’s a lot and almost every time I can hear the staff call out an order number which is ready, but nobody comes to pick it up.

Why would you pay for food only to run off then?

I’m in Germany, in case that’s relevant.

    I ordered online Jersey Mike’s (sandwich chain restaurant) on my lunch break at a new job, then walked a mile in the opposite direction towards a Jimmy Johns (another sandwich chain restaurant) and wasted my entire lunch break waiting on my food that was never going to be at the wrong restaurant.

    I fell the fuck asleep once on a $25 uber eats order. It was the second time I’ve done that. First time I vaguely remember grabbing it and sleep eating the hell out of it. But it still counts as forgetting. I saved my ass on that one in my sleep.

    Have been guilty of this when placing an online order, one time I simply forgot, the other time an obligation presented itself and I didn’t have time to go out of my way and pick it up. As for ordering at the counter and abandoning, IDK. Could be having to run for some urgent matter, but I’d agree it happens way too often to be just that.
