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.

    Happened to me once when I was 14. I ordered a hotdog and thought I heard my name (this place did orders by customer name) and picked it up. It was a hotdog but I didn't remember ordering the particular toppings. I also ordered a vegan hotdog specifically. As I was eating it I gradually became more and more sure this wasn't my order—I didn't remember ordering these toppings and I thought this seemed like a pork hotdog. But then I felt too awkward to go back to the counter after having eaten half of it already. Sorry to whoever's hotdog I ate.
