Actually, whenever I lived anywhere else but DC, I have always had HORRIBLE luck with fast food. American teens just don't care. In all the orders of all the place (before moving to DC), I think probably one order out of 50 was correct.
Since I've moved to DC, in the four years that I've been in this area (and I actually go to fast food places more often, or did until I started dieting).. it's been wrong once. That's Wendy's, Taco Bell, Baja Fresh, McD's, Arby's, Burger King... but the fast food places here are being worked by adult immigrants, and they don't mess up. Ever. Dunno why it's such an issue everywhere else with non-native English speakers because there is *no* problems here. And I'm damned picky when it comes to fast food. Everything is a special order, cept french fries.
