This was 15 years ago now so memories are fuzzy. Weirdest things I saw? How sad people’s lives could be. The saddest one was a woman came through with her child at 11:30pm, and she was clearly heavily buzzed if not full on drunk. Yelling at her kid who was obviously tired and wanted a happy meal. No kids seat or even wearing a seatbelt. One of the few times I called the police.
As for fun things? All of those jokes and pranks you see online or think will be really funny? I saw them dozens of times. They were never original, they were never funny, everyone thought they were the funniest person for asking for a whopper at a McDonald’s. Gets to the point you know just to type in big mac, tell them the price, and have them move forward. I was making $7/hr. Whoa look we’re having fun at the expense of the minimum wage employee who’ll be fired on the spot if they say anything negative. The ice cream prank? Seen it. Hamburger no meat no bun no condiments? Seen it. We’re not neutral faced because we’re annoyed at you, we were all tired of hearing the same boring jokes. It was all lame dad energy, but coming from teenagers.

is it possible for someone to maybe have done that, not as a prank, but because they were so shitfaced while in the drive thru that they legitimately thought they were at Burger King and/or confused the two?
Everything is possible. But this is a common drive thru “prank” in at least the northeast of the USA, I remember it being all the rage when everyone got drivers licenses.
Yes that happened, and yes we could tell the difference. Drunk people were pretty obvious. As long as they didn’t throw up I was fine with them, because again the $7/hour employee would have to clean it up
Yeah someone like me, who for the longest couldn’t remember what “mcbullshit” name they had for the burger I wanted, so I ordered “two of those dollar burgers” until they raised the price and I had to learn the word “McDouble,” ugh lol.
Maybe it’s someone who just absolutely can’t be bothered, like “let me get one of those whoppers or whatever the fuck, it’s all the same.”

Or just aren’t into brands or burgers, but remember a name they liked once.
Or just a brain fart.
