Literally the worst fast food experience of my life, save for any food poisoning I may have blocked from my memory. It started with the cashier missing our order: I ordered the Pan Noodles without carrots, since I'm allergic. My partner order Pad Thai with chicken.
Upon turning toward the beverage area, we found nary a water cup. Another minute of hovering back at the register yielded us some cups from the manager at a different register. Let's not get started on the UI for getting water from the "smart" Coke machines: that wasn't Noodles' fault.
Looking to freshen up our waters, we opened the lemon container to find no lemons. Great. Alright, so we grabbed some paper-wrapped chopsticks and headed to the dining area. The room was maybe 1/3 filled. None of the remaining tables, 14 of them in all, had been bussed. We sat down at the least dirty table and waited. A couple tables over, an employee sat down for their break... at the next least dirty table.
Food time! Look! There are carrots in my entree. And no chicken in my partners'! Quel surprise! The server graciously took my plate back and arrived later with appropriately prepared food. Most empty tables remained unchanged.
I grab my chopstick package, only to find it was already ripped open. I walk the litter-strewn floor back to the beverage area, where I find a pristine chopstick package among the many already-open ones.
