People who pay for food but don't collect it: Why? (lemmy.ml)

I go eat at McDonald's a lot and almost every time I can hear the staff call out an order number which is ready, but nobody comes to pick it up.

Why would you pay for food only to run off then?

I'm in Germany, in case that's relevant.

Have been guilty of this when placing an online order, one time I simply forgot, the other time an obligation presented itself and I didn't have time to go out of my way and pick it up. As for ordering at the counter and abandoning, IDK. Could be having to run for some urgent matter, but I'd agree it happens way too often to be just that.
