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.
