At this point if there's not a human to take my order I just turn around and leave. I set the expectation before I go in so everybody's ready to depart in case that's what happens. At those prices and at that low a quality, I refuse to be their hired help operating their menu system.

Turning around in a drive-thru is a bold move.
Wouldn't be the first time, actually.
I was at a rallys and the drive through ot cc machine or something was busted. I was pinned in and had to convince the person behind me that it was a lost cause. Glad they didn't have a gun, they fully lost the plot and started screaming and such.
Twas fun.

The Baconator uses cheap fast-food/hotel bacon that tastes like air-fried disappointment. I'd rather a shake of bac-o-bits.
I worked at Boston Market back in the '90s, and we would endlessly steal the precooked bacon from the sandwich station, usually crouching behind it to avoid management noticing.
As I recall, Boston market had decent bacon, but it's been forever since I've been.
It's been forever on account of them closing down almost all their stores. The rate of expansion circa 1996 was absurd. We were cannibalizing our own customer base by opening up a new one a few miles away. There's only so much demand for rotisserie chicken when you're charging twice what Costco does.
