Customer service at Fast Food Restaurants

Just something to think about:

How come, Restaurants such as McDonalds, KFC and similar still call themselves Fast Food Restaurants, when you:

- Have to queue up quite long to be order your food;
- Wait a long time to get your food "on the plate"?

Especially over lunch time - queues are tremendous. I understand that the turnover of frontline staff is high - up to 300% annually -

But then, you still have counters that are not manned. The original intend was to serve food fast - where has this gone to?

Makes me wonder. What was your longest waiting time?

The key of winning their full on service is to be extremely nice. :) Seriously. It works.

When I was still studying, I waited for 40 minutes at Shakey's Pizza at Taman Melawati. The staff was adamant it's not their fault. Whatever.
