Sounds like a trendy more expensive burger version of Subway:cool:

Does everyone also say “Can I get a..” instead of “could I have..” ;)

I suppose it's slightly similar to Subway in that you can add whatever toppings you like at no extra cost.

I have no idea what individual customers would say when ordering??

Ordering at Subway is too stressful for me. I want the sandwich in the picture on the board. Apparently it takes 15 questions before I can have that. With the answers I give I may not even get the sandwich in the picture :D

I always allow my grandson to place his order first as he has 'the system' off pat...
I then follow with my order asking for the same as him but no sweetcorn...
Simples really ;)...
 
I hate Subway with a passion. Went in with a horrendous hangover one day and asked for a 12" bacon sub with ketchup. Simple enough order you would have thought but then came the questions.....
Do you want cheese on that? No!
Do you want that toasted? No!
Do you want any salad on that? No!
Do you want a drink? No!
Do you want any crisps? No!
Do you want a muffin? No! I just want a sodding 12" bacon sub. In fact forget it I'll go and get a bacon roll at the cafe round the corner.

You missed off ..“Can I get You anything else today” :D
 
Come on chaps, it's not rocket surgery is it. It's just them making sure they make it exactly the way that you want. If they didn't ask you any questions and then dumped a load of onions in that you didn't want or something, then you'd probably be more upset.

We are British. We take what they give us and pick off the rubbish that we don't afterwards. We are not Americans, good heavens man.

First thing that I do when I get a cheeseburger from McD is take off the gherkin and scrape off the onions. Can't be fagged waiting for a special order to be cooked. It is meant to be fast food, not slow or 20 questions.
 
Haha. I just can't understand how someone can be upset at essentially being asked what they want to eat. :D Each to their own though of course.

If I wanted onions I'd ask for onions. Why would they put onions in it if I hadn't asked for onions? It's not brain science is it?

It's not about being asked what I want to eat. I've already told them what I want. I want a "12 inch bacon sub with ketchup". That's my order and that's what I want. I don't want them trying to upsell other things that I haven't asked for just to boost their profits. I'm a grown adult and I know what I want. If I wanted cheese I would have asked for it. If I wanted onions I would have asked for them. I didn't, therefore I don't want cheese or onions. Just give me what I ordered. I'm not a 3 year old who needs asking if I want a drink. If I was thirsty I would have ordered a drink.

If you were in a cafe they'd ask if you want white or brown bread for example. There may have been things you overlooked when ordering. You may not even have known that toasting it was an option if you hadn't been there before. Honestly, I can't get the anger at having been asked if you want something and having to answer 'no thank you'.

See the mistake you made there was to show that you know options exist (size, type of sauce etc) but not clarify the rest of your order sufficiently so that you don't get the questions i.e 'Can I have a white untoasted 12" bacon sub with ketchup and nothing else added please and no drink'

You basically forced them into asking you a bunch of questions they really didn't want to ask you in the first place because of the incomplete order you made, so its your own fault really ;)

You just tell them from the outset exactly what you want. Job done.

Its having to say “no, thankyou “ countless times that’s annoying.
 
Byron was the best of the bunch a few years back when they came on the scene. Now terrible. A victim of their own success and have put some serious cost cutting measures in place at detriment to the quality of the burger, both in terms of size and meat quality as they have scaled to a mass supplier. Five Guys is decent, again though I had one recently that wasnt really up to scratch. Shake Shack a slightly better version of 5 Guys although not as many stores - those cheesy chips!!

It might just be that they set a standard that has since been far surpassed. Off the top of my head Patty & Bun, Mother Flipper, Meat Liquor, Dip & Flip (in no particular order) are all miles better than the Byron, GBK, Honest chains, and also better than the gourmet fast food options.

The burger at Mac & Wild is the best around though, no doubt!

Yes, I really like burgers.
 
Posh burgers?? Do people actually fall for this spiel?
