This. Also, it might take only a few seconds for one person to check a simple order, but when you've got a family of five, Mom might be miles away before junior finally gets his burger and realizes they got his special order wrong again. (Ask me how I know that!)

After this happened a few times, we learned to pull over and check the orders before driving off. Later I learned to anticipate the problem and just go inside.

(And to this day, I still take my burgers with mustard only! )
