Miscellaneous: Don't let them get you down

Don't let them get you down

Today, I went to McDonald's and ordered a Happy Meal with a girl's toy. The high school girls behind the counter said I was too old to be served one, and I had to go home and explain to my sick daughter why she didn't get her toy. FML

Today, a person came into McDonald's, where I work. They ordered a happy meal. As they were an adult, I assumed the meal was for their child, who wasn't with them. When I asked if the toy was for a boy or a girl, they said the toy was for them. I still had to ask if it was for a boy or a girl. FML

Today, my 18 year-old daughter comes home, telling me she has been fired from her job at McDonalds. The reason? They had iCarly Happy Meal toys and she couldn't resist stealing one. FML

Fine, let her catch something

Today, while at McDonald's, I saw an 8 year-old girl licking a life-size Ronald McDonald sitting on a bench. Being concerned, I told her mother, who then yelled at me for 10 minutes for being a "paedophile" and "being turned on by an 8 year-old girl." FML

Today, I was at McDonald's and I was going through the drive-thru. As I was driving away, I checked my food and the lady had given me a Night at the Museum Happy Meal toy by mistake. I got so excited that I crashed the car into a pole. I'm 36. FML

Today, I realized the reason my 20-year-old daughter has been so moody and aggressive is because she missed the promotional My Little Pony toys at McDonald's. FML

Clever boy

Today, I was minding a 6-year old boy. He begged me to take him somewhere. I rang his mum, and she said I could. He picked to go to McDonald's. He ordered chicken. After his meal, he told me he was vegetarian, and wanted to try some meat while his mum wasn't around. I got the blame. FML

You tried

Today, while shopping, I saw a little girl and her mom. The girl was pouting so I tried to cheer her up by asking her if she was a princess, because she was so pretty. She smiled but her mom looked at me with disgust and told me to, "Get lost, pedo." I'm a 17-year-old girl. FML

Today, after a long, horrible day at work and some fighting with my family and my girlfriend, I decided to cheer myself up by going to McDonald's for a change. I burst into tears when the cashier told me they couldn't make me a Mars McFlurry because they'd run out of ingredients. FML

Today, I was excited to go to a Japanese restaurant for my birthday. When the chef started doing tricks however, my spoiled brat of a sister started screaming and crying in terror. My parents insisted we leave and go to McDonald's because she was upset. She's 11. FML

Inappropriate

Today, I took my 5-year-old daughter to the play place at McDonald's but I had to keep her busy, instead of letting her play. A mom was teaching her 3-year-old daughter how to pole dance, using the play place's poles. FML

You need to call corporate cause even adults are allowed to order and enjoy the happy meal. They'll give you a free meal

Oh come on ! I've been working in many different fast foods, including McDo, and I always served child menu to anyone asking for one. This girl should know better about her own job, which is making money no matter what, and gain the loyalty of the costumers. She did all that wrong. (But it doesn't mean she's stupid, or bitch, or whatever she's freely insulted by people safe behind their computers. It means her manager didn't explain the job properly)

They were very rude and unprofessional. It doesn't matter if you look too old for a happy meal toy, they should've given it to you regardless. I know it isn't a big deal, but you could take that to their manager. I hope your daughter feels better OP!

Could've told them that classic line, "The customer is always right."

You completely deserve it. Grow a backbone, some people think they run the world and people like you that let them do as they please further encourage their bitchy behaviour. Or perhaps you hate conflict ... But is pride more important than a sick family member ?

Why was she getting McDonalds if she was sick?

This reminds me of the one time when I was six, my family and I were at McDonald's. My mom asked me to get two kiddie cones, one for me and one for my 4 year old sister. When I went to the counter asked for them, the woman bitched me out for being greedy for wanting two of them. Being six, I was too stunned by the fact I was being yelled at to explain that one of them was for my sister. Wow, thanks fml for bringing back a long repressed memory! For those wondering: Kiddie cones were little tiny ice cream cones that McDonald's gave to kids free. I don't even know if they do that anymore.

Just open your mouth and tell the super intelligent person that works a McDonald's that it is for daughter.

I'm pretty sure they aren't allowed to do that. Are they gonna deny someone ordering a happy meal in the drive thru too? They are idiots but you should have told them it was for your daughter.
