I didn't order breakfast

March 27, 2014 01:30PM
The instructions said that I must order breakfast and coffee. The steak and eggs was the only prohibited meal. So I ordered the egg, bacon, sausage, hash brown, crepes combo off of the breakfast menu along with the coffee. The MSC just notified me that I did not comply with the ordering requirements because I did not order breakfast. Please tell me what I ordered.

Sounds like breakfast to me.

What did Marketforce say when you asked them to clarify?

Sounds like a heart attack on a plate to me. But, still, breakfast.

I had no idea MF still had this client if it's who I think it is. But yeah, sounds like breakfast.

Sounds like an awesome breakfast.

I consider pizza a more awesome breakfast myself, but yeah, that's still a pretty good breakfast.

Take away the crepes and sausage and it is my typical Sunday breakfast. Take a picture of the breksfast menu and send it to MF.

Yes, the crepes were in place of the pancakes usually served with their breakfast entres. Actually, I don't generally eat breakfast, but it didn't seem like lot of food. The servings of each were small. I can saw the peaches and creme crepe was delicious.

From my experience, this just sounds like a lot more food (separate items) than MF usually allows a shopper to order for any shop. Usually, you are limited to four items, including the drink. On the other hand, I think the crepes might be the problem, since (if I guessed the client correctly) they do not appear on the breakfast menu.

I'm rooting for me to be wrong!

The OP stated the the combo was ordered of the breakfast menu and there was one prohibited item that was clearly not ordered.

Unless there's a stipulation about no crepes, combos or the number of items you are allowed, I would not accept the shop being declined.

Steve, you are correct and, as I said before, I'm rooting for me to be wrong!

Why would you think crepes wouldn't be on the breakfast menu?

I wonder what would have happened if you had ordered a Hot Fudge Sundae, with a Cheeseburger and Fries? smiling smiley

Perhaps that's breakfast?

Having worked at breakfast restaurants she ordered breakfast. They might be stuck on the creeps though. I'd take some screen @#$%& of places that seve creeps for breakfast and send them those.

So after doing untold number of arches shops for MF, I did a breakfast. I don't drink coffee and prefer hot chocolate. I ordered from the prescribed menu for the first purchase and ordered Hot chocolate. I noticed they upcharged me so when I did the second one, I just ordered a coffee and pour it out. In most places, hot chocolate is the same as coffee -- not for these guys. MF invalidated it. When I asked them to clarify it, they ignored me. I don't know why I tell them yes, when they call.

Here is exactly what I ordered. (http://ooops!.com/New). I got the peach ones.



Mod note: Sorry, but since so many other posters have named the MSC several times throughout the thread (even though you were careful NOT to in OP) we can't have the url up there giving away the client! Don't forget to be careful about such things. Thanks! smiling smiley

If the client you are speaking with the coffee requirement is the same one I have shopped for them, coffee is a requirement. No substitutions are accepted. The guidelines are very clear. Not being a coffee drinker myself, I also order coffee and pour it out.

I figured as much especially when the same word was spelled wrong more than once, damn auto correct. Sometimes you can also tell when poster is using voice recognition software. For some reason when posting from my iPad I end up hitting the comma instead of the space bar. So if you see a post with a comma after every word you will know whyconfused smiley

That competitor chain of Atlanta Bread is only shopped maybe once or twice per year. Last few times it was a lunch shop with no option on what to order. Hope to finally snag the breakfast shop soon...
