Calax Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 ok. I work at McDonalds now full time. Tonight I had closing shift. which means that after about 10 o'clock I do everything with the drive through while my boss does everything with the front counter. also we don't make that many fries and the like because we don't want to make more of a mess than we have to thus we often hand out not so hot fries. Well today we had a MASSIVE rush that lasted from about 8:30-11pm. during this time I got all kinds of people coming through. Most are either nice family people headed somewhere or high school students using what little free time they get on the weekends to have fun. One of our customers asked for one thing, a large fries, $2.13 all told. he comes around after waiting and I ask for the money (like most mcd's we have two windows. After about 9 or 10 we close the first window and do everything at the second one.) the driver was a young woman, and appearently her passenger was her boyfriend or somthing. they dig and dig and finially the guy says "we only have about 2.09. can you spot us 4 cents?" ... .... ..... hmmmm... Usually I'm a pretty nice guy but I don't like to screw around and just give people stuff for free or give discounts because they ask (I have given a discount to a guy who was nice to a young boy who was 2 cents short... I felt he deserved it). Especially when the owner of the store (we're a franchise) is going spastic about money because one of the managers ran off with 5k from our safe. I tell him no... expecting the pair to just drive off. They don't... instead they give me 3+ dollars. the question running through my head at this point is "why the heck did you ask me for money when you already had enough?" so I give him his fries and he drives off. Here's the kicker. Appearently while I was continuing to work on my window and orders, the guy parked came in and complained to my manager that "the fries are cold and that (I'm not going to use the word but it's a derogitory for homosexual male that starts with F) over there didn't spot me 5 cents!" Now I didn't actually hear this (my boss told me a few hours later when we were lounging around looking for crap to do) but my question is: Why the heck are you telling a manager of a business your pissed off at one of the employee's because said employee wouldn't let you get by with less money than you need to have paid?

Atreides Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) Ain't 3.14 - 3.09 = .04? Edit: The original was so funny that I'll leave it on. I mean 2.13-2.09 = .04. Edited April 2, 2006 by Atreides Spreading beauty with my katana.

SteveThaiBinh Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Perhaps their lives and sense of self worth are built upon small victories against the 'system' (that's McDonalds and you, by the way). Cheating you out of 4 cents would have been a victory, as would getting you into trouble with your boss, you corporate sell-out you! They may have failed this time, but they're still out there, raging against the system and waiting for the revolution. Or maybe they just had a bet? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Atreides Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I'm sure they were fighting The Man, showing socialism > capitalism etc by screwing McD out of 4 cents. Spreading beauty with my katana.
metadigital Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Everyone is missing the real moral of this story: don't buy fries from McD after 9pm! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Dark_Raven Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Do not buy anything from McDonalds period. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Musopticon? Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Why? It's just fast food. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
WinterSun Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I bought a shake from Mcdonalds once. I noticed a few lumpy bits, but assumed it was ice. A few minutes later I realised that sucking on the straw was bringing the bogeys from my nose and into my mouth. That was the furthest I've ever spat anything. master of my domain Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.

Deraldin Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 Wait a moment... Your McDonalds closes? We have one here in town that isn't open 24 hours a day and that's because it's in a mall that closes so everything inside has to close. Was at a McDonalds a couple days ago at around 11pm since it was one of the few places still open. There were 6 people still working there and about a dozen people in line. 5 minutes later and no one had gotten any food, nor had they taken any orders, we left to find some place that was actually serving the people inside and not just the drive through. <_<

astr0creep Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 I worked 6 years in a Pizza Hut and we had people like this everyday. Some were much worse. We had one who REFUSED to leave until the manager fired the employee in front of him. We had to "call security" on him. It's because of people like these that I won't ever work in a restaurant again.

LadyCrimson Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 The fast food industry just sucks. I never worked at McD's or any of the big name places but I've worked at restraunts and yeah...you get all kinds of people... “Things are as they are.

Calax Posted April 2, 2006 Author Posted April 2, 2006 (edited) there is one guy who's threatening to sue our franchise because my boss didn't fire me after I offended him... he misconstrued one of my jokes as a racist comment.
