Work: Today, while working at McDonald's a car full of obnoxious teens...

By Meow - 11/07/2009 06:28 - Australia

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

Same thing different taste

Today, McDonalds charged me 21 cents for a honey mustard packet. The jerk manager made me break a $50 bill. So I grabbed all their napkins, carried them into the parking lot and tossed them all into the air in protest and drove off. Down the road, I realized I left my wallet at the counter. FML

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, 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, a McDonald's employee had to correct my math after counting out $2.37 in change. I'm in AP Calculus and am currently learning how to find the derivative of an inverse of a logarithm. FML

That's how I roll

Today, a buttmunch customer brought in $7 worth of pennies I had to count and roll. As I was putting them in the deposite box at the end of my shift, I fumbled and dropped the rolls. All but one broke, spilling their contents on the floor. 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, as the manager of a McDonald's, I had to ask a group of high school kids to calm down after several complaints from other guests. Their rational response was to pour soda on my head and throw burgers at me. Upon returning from chasing them out, I sprained my foot. FML

Today, after a long day at work, I was starving, so I stopped by the drive-through for something to eat. When I got home and hurriedly opened the bag, all I found inside was napkins. Thanks, McDonald's. FML

Today, I was doing takeout orders at the restaurant I work at. I spent a long while putting together this guy's $135.00 order. When he finally got there to pick it up, I told him to fill out the credit card slip. I looked at it after he left. He gave me a 40 cent tip. FML

Today, I work at McDonald's. The entire crew, myself included, got visibly excited that we had new trash cans and dust pans. FML

you should have said "**** you, and come back with cash"...or, you should have gotten your manager to say that instead...i've done that as a manager because bringing in a tin of uncounted change and expecting the clerk to count it for you is just plain rude. it holds up the line behind you and makes everyone unhappy.

You should have refused them service unless they counted it out themselves. If it was during a rush, your manager would have backed you up.

I've been there; I used to work at a DQ (I'm in college now). The customers made me hate life. And anyone who says "this is funny" or YDI is probably an idiotic worthless 14-year-old or a spoiled brat who has never held a crappy job in their life to pay for necessities or to save up for school. Karma will be a bitch when mommy and daddy stop paying for your bills, little ones. Enjoy your fantasy world now- the one that says you're important and special- while you can.

I think the kids were thinking about Taco Bell and their 89 cent burritos.

there are stories like that here, like people losing court trials and having to pay money, and paying it in the smallest possible coin. there was also a story about kids making a $200 order in mcdonalds and doing the same. it's a kind of revenge thing...

i work at mcdonalds..i feel your pain like no other... but at my work my managers said we have the right to refuse huge amounts of change like that... if the customer has a problem with it then we report it to our manager and they will take care of it... but that was really really a dumb thing to do on their part...some people dont realize how many customers we recieve that are just messing with you for the hell of it...its not cool its really annoying....

Lmfao definitely was a taco bell commercial. Also, you really can't refuse to serve them once you make the food, can you? Isn't that just as much a pain in the ass as it is counting the change?

I work at McDonalds. I get ya. I really hate customers. Most of them are complete assholes who treat us like we aren't even human. We've never been told we can't accept change, but I know we're not supposed to take things in rolls like 10$ because we can't weigh it. I wouldn't of taken the 30$. I would have called my manager to overring the order and told them to gtfo of our drive-thru and go to a bank and turn that shit in for cash.
