This is why I go in. You can tell the service by the attitude you see on display. Then if you don't like it you can nope out of there like an autist after looking like you're pondering the menu for enough time.

If you often enough find that workers are NOT decent people, maybe your vocal skills are missing some charm over the microphone. Try the face-to-face approach instead. Use your charisma in person. Go inside.
Greet them before you start ordering. Oh hi, there. Oh, wow, it smells so delicious. I've waited 14 hours to eat, etc, just got out of the hospital. How are you? Just something decent and polite as greeting, then give your order. Throw in a question/request. Would it be okay if I get 2 more of those biscuits? Are they as fresh and delicious as I remember? Smile. See if they don't just say, oh chile, I'm gonna ask you to wait a couple mins, cause we got some in the oven right now. Is it true you have real honey if I ask? That would be great on a biscuit. Be really nice. Manager moseys over, say hi to them too, and tell them how nice the person was helping you order, etc. How do I spell your name on my yelp review cause I've never had such a polite experience here? Make their day, dude. Extra thanks. Play it by ear, ask for the hookup on the hot sauce x5. Ask if there is a tip jar, ROFL of course they do not have one, but ask.

No I think this is actually acceptable. If the line is long enough, just look like you're in a hurry. Tap your feet a few times, look at your wrist watch or phone, say something like "come on" under your breath, and then just walk out.

This works best at my local post office after 5pm. i've legitimately stood in a line for like 60 minutes one time.

I wonder how that happened. Language is an acquired skill - we don't naturally "speak", we just make baby noises and stuff, then mimick how other people sound to us.
I'm guessing that different languages developed within small families or communities, and EVERY family had a different language (think about that for a moment), eventually some Chad family was influential enough to push its language as the dominant one in the region. Well, that's how i imagine it.

If you think about it, nothing at McDonald's is really fresh. All the ingredients are shipped in frozen or pre-made.
You might as well turn McDonald's into a sort of grocery store chain. Where you walk around the aisles, pick up the frozen burgers and frozen nuggets and frozen fries. Then you go to the register to pay for them, take them home, and heat them up yourself

Fast food restaurants don't pay their employees enough to care about their jobs.
Minimum wage = Minimum effort
Same thing with any business, you cannot be quality if you are prioritizing cheap and fast.
Order ahead from a decent sit-down restaurant if you want quality.

I do prefer going in because I feel as though face-to-face interaction works better in terms of understanding each other. plus if something is wrong or forgotten, it's the easiest thing ever to correct it before leaving. in a drive-thru, you have to choose between holding up the line as you check your shit because you don't trust the workers, or leave the drive-thru and come back around should something be wrong.

It sounds like those suggestions would actually piss off food service workers more. They're not there to chat with you, they're there to make minimum wage and send you out your food. Being purposely rude gets you nowhere, but being overly chatty and annoyingly nice would make them just as likely to spit in your food.

Little to no prospects for higher education.
Lowest possible pay despite consuming the same goods and services as higher-wage workers; thus, they are forced to work more hours to have a basic sustainable quality of life without enough time to relax and expand their personalities and internal lives.
To save time, they often eat at the places they work; fast food as we all know is loaded with sodium, carbs, and calories - making them unhealthy and moody.
They work in small spaces with each other - you whine because your brief experience is unpleasant, but these people are forced to work 4-18 hour shifts with each other.
They lack awareness of their predicament and internalize it.
Their alienation leads them to substance abuse, which further fucks with their heads.
The companies for which they work discourage and actively suppress any form of improvement for the lives of these workers while also looking for ways to cut any basic benefits or costs at every turn.
Simply put, fast food is an oppressive convenience that demeans and degenerates human beings into vitriolic, half-dead meat-machines.
But nah, just call them assholes and lazy pieces of shit instead, it's way easier than attempting to understand, educate, and change things.
