Well I have got through my first 50 Diastix. No I have not drunk that many diet cokes but I have tested those of friends who have ordered one as they could easily have been diabetic as well - the staff have no idea why it is being ordered! Anyway somewhat over 10% were not diet drinks! This rises to the high teens at McIdiots. Two of the failures were I believe genuine, but unacceptable, mistakes but the rest the result of disinterested slapdash staff. In one McIdiot they also poured salt over the chips when I asked for no salt!
 
That's a pretty bad hit rate :( Why is it so difficult? If you asked for sausages they wouldn't try and serve you fish fingers!

I got a strange look in KFC the other day.

I told one place I was from one of these food guide magazines. I got brilliant service because they wanted a good write up.
