Today, I saw a man help an elderly lady with her tray at the local McDonald's. I wanted to do something nice for him, so I added a couple extra nuggets in his meal. He later came up to me and told me I was dumb and didn't know how to count, and that was why I was working at McDonald's. FML

Today, while checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML

Today, I was sitting in McDonald's. A lady came up to me and started complaining about the bad service, and asked for the manager. I told her that I didn't work there. "But you must, someone that fat has to work here!" FML

Today, while I was working at McDonald's, a man and his wife ordered a Sundae. I gave the guy his sundae and realized I'd forgotten something. I said, "One second sir. Let me grab your nuts." I realized what I said when his wife gave me the death glare. FML

By first time at McDonald's in months... - 27/03/2013 05:04 - United States

Today, I was at McDonald's. As I left the counter with the food, I heard the cashier mutter, "Fat ass." I turned around and demanded to see the manager. Once he came and heard the situation, he looked at me and said, "Well, it's not like he's wrong, right?" FML

Today, a customer came into McDonalds and placed his order. He insisted on putting each coin on the counter rather than handing them straight to me, because he doesn't like touching "poor people". FML

Today, while registering at the grocery store, a customer came into my lane with a 100 piece boiled shrimp platter. Feeling hungry, I muttered, "Nom nom" under my breath. The old man called my supervisor. Apparently I called him a moron. FML

Today, while working at McDonald's a car full of obnoxious teens came through. They had made a $30 order, and handed me a tin of small change, claiming that on a McDonald's ad they saw that we, employees, liked counting change. I had to count out $30 in spare change during a rush period at work. FML

Today, I was supposed to train a new hire, grateful to finally have someone else here with me on my shift. He didn't show up. I found out later that his mother didn't want him working here because she thinks he's too smart for this job. I found him working at the McDonald's a few blocks away. We pay more than they do. FML

Extra McNuggets are considered a McBlessing to most people

Don't let that stop you. You should od nice things for the sake of doing them, not for the reward of an atta boy

I can see why he would return them, seeing as how they weren't paid for, however he didn't need to be that rude!

Why would he even complain about that?!

Did you tell him you did it purposely because you mistakenly thought he was a nice person?

I can see him getting upset if you didn't put enough in the meal but who gets mad about extra nuggets?? Sorry, OP. If working in restaurants has taught me a thing it's that people are the worst.

As a McDonald's employee, I don't understand all the hate towards people who work there. It's not as easy as people think it is, but it's actually a great job

When I was working there while doing my A levels we had a lot of other students there also doing their A levels. Also we had some university graduates from countries from which we don't accept the degrees over here, who were doing this job for caring for their families and because they couldn't really work in their field. They spoke our language very well after being here for only 3 to 5 months and still were called out for being stupid foreigners. Of course there are also idiots working there but I also have a lot of idiots in my current job. Working at McDonald's also gave me a lot of respect for service workers. They have to deal with a lot of shitty behaviour.
