Today, whilst I was working in McDonald's, a customer threw their Quarterpounder at me because it had pickles and he said he didn't want any pickles in his burger. I didn't even serve him. I'd just started my shift. FML

I'm actually the OP of this post (I created this account recently so I can reply) I am overqualified. I have 11 GCSE's, 3 A-levels one AS level and I'm on my way to Uni to get my honours. I only work there part time to earn some money on the side so I can pay for living expenses when I go to Uni. So to all the people who seriously thought that I work there full time, you're wrong. And to all the people who said the guy was fat, no. The customer wasn't fat XD He was a skinny guy with a horrible attitude. He even demanded that I apologise to him for getting his order wrong, even though I didn't even serve him. My managers sorted him out.

I really don't know what customers who do things like that are thinking. Even if you HAD been the one to mess up the order, it's just something trivial-- Plus, OP is likely not paid very much. Harassing people in minimum-wage jobs is ridiculous.

Should of thrown the burger back at him! Then quit and go across the street and apply at BK!!

Maybe he was just upset that he couldn't hide the pickles under his tongue like Bubble Bass did to Spongebob... :o)

You should have said, "Bitch this ain't Burger King, you can't have it your way" and threw it back. :D

Learn to read. I've already posted that I'm well educated. You're the one that needs an education.

FYL, man. I used to work in the service industry too, and people treat you like total crap. It really sucks, I'm very sympathetic. To those of you saying "ydi for working at mcdonalds, get an education", you have no idea what OP's circumstances are. Maybe she's still in high school or university earning to money to GET an education. Better to be working a crap job than to rack up loads of debt or mooch off your parents. At least OP has a work ethic.

@219 Thank you. My ex husband had to work at McDonalds, Wendy's, and Wal-Mart stocking shelves in order to earn enough to pay a few bills. He graduated from a Master's Chem program with a 3.97 out of 4.0 GPA. The economy sucks, so a lot of people have to work crappy jobs to make ends meet. I may hate my ex, but it really did suck for him.
