Here's my beef (and I know I' gonna tick some people off here).
PLEASE...FOR THE LOVE OF GOD put people on the Drive-thru speaker that don't have such a THICK Indian, Asian or whatever accent!
It's hard enough understanding you through that cheap piece of crap speaker, I don't need your accent getting in the way as well!
Me: I'll get a double, double and a raisin bagel with straw-berry cream cheese, please.
The speaker (or what I hear): Ju wan to add a doo-no wit dat?
Me: What did you say?
And it goes on and on and on until I pull up to the window. I never understand what they're saying! I know that they're trying their best to speak CLEAR fluent English, but it's hard enough to understand you, while standing in front of you, let alone over a speaker.
Same thing goes for support and customer service line.
Ok...I'm done ranting.

Now, I may sound racist
but this is one thing that I really really don't like. I understand that lots of these immigrants and such are willing to do crappy jobs others don't, and for that I really respect them. However, I hate...no, DETEST when I can't understand what on earth they're asking me. I know they're trying to be polite, and I do my best to be polite back but holy crap...sometimes I have no idea what a person is saying to me, so I just agree and then get something completely different than what I originally wanted.
