Fast food is an integral part of our culture these days. It's just so easy. When we're always on the run, rushing from one place to another, it's hard not to take the easy way out.
Plus, it can be so darn delicious.
But did you ever stop to think about whether or not there are some things the fast food line cooks and servers are keeping a secret from you? Their jobs are to get you to buy their food, and to serve it to you with a smile. But, what are they hiding underneath that smile?
There are several past and current fast food workers that have a few things to say to their customers, and some of them may hit a bit close to home. We're all guilty of doing one of these at least once in our lives. Some of these stories, however, will have you wondering what on this green earth were these customers thinking.
Here are the ten things that drive fast food workers absolutely up a wall, and that they really wished you knew before stepping foot into their restaurants.
Have you ever worked in a fast food joint? What did you wish customers knew before eating there? Please SHARE with friends and family to see if anyone you know is guilty!

"I couldn't stand when a customer would come in and reference something that was wrong with their food last time and complain like it was my fault. Honestly, you probably didn't even order from this location last time. What do you want me to do about it?" – zabow_22

"There were times when a customer would receive their food at the second window, and sit at their cars right there while they took a bite out of everything to make sure it was up to snuff before driving off. It's like, can you not see the line of cars behind you?" – CrunchyBP

"I hated it when there would be long lines and I'd get the person that had not looked at the menu prior to stepping to the front of the line. Then they stand there and say "Just give me a sec. I'm not sure what I want." Really? You've been standing in line for 10 minutes." – SleevieNicks

"People that go through the drive-thru with a lit cigarette (or, in one case, a lit cigar.) The smoke gets in the restaurant, it smells bad, and I don't want lung cancer." – cyanidepancakes

"Haven't worked in fast food in a while, but the worst was in the middle of a lunch rush when a customer paid in a handful of change. They know I don't have time to count that. I'm not a freaking Coin Star.'" – thoverlord Do you do any of these things when you order from your favorite fast food restaurant? I'm definitely guilty of reaching the front and still not knowing what I want. Now I know to make sure I already know exactly what to get! Have you ever worked in a fast food joint?
