Dude at McD's Gets Told

[Myra]

So this morning I decided to grab a cup of decaf on the way to work and stopped at McDonald's. I usually just go inside, as it's generally faster, especially if you're just getting a drink. The drive-thru is super long, and it's PACKED inside. It's a Saturday, at 9:45 AM, so everyone's taking their kids out for a McD's breakfast. It's a typical Saturday at this McD's, really.

So I make my order, and step aside to wait. There are several other folks waiting as well. One guy decided he was gonna be really witty.

"So they call this FAST food, eh?" and he chuckles, looking around at all of us to join in with his jab. He'd said it loud enough for the employees to hear. They were all working, mind you, running their behinds off. However, I didn't have to respond to this moron. A grandma looking lady did it for me.

"Well, it IS a SATURDAY, and there's a rush going on and there's a TON of people in the drive-thru, if you didn't notice!"

I smiled, and the guy shrugged, looking away all uncomfortable-like. Hee. I dunno if the employees heard him or her, but I'm sure if they did, they were cheering her on the inside.

I can't stand it when random jerk-off people like that attempt to get a waiting crowd of people together in bad-mouthing the employees. It reminds me of being at a restaurant on a busy night and a bunch of people start bitching loudly about how long the wait is. As if you'll get sat any faster when the employees hear you talking trash.

I loved it when people on line would bitch, can't they call someone else to help. Well, if I could, don't you think I would? If only to get your grumbling ass out of here...

My Dad said the same thing at McD's yesterday at lunch (not loudly though) But he had a point really. They had no line and you couldn't tell what employee was doing what. I ended up getting my big order before the guy in front of me got his small one.

Though most times when people say something like that their trying to be cute, and nobody thought the OP guy was cute. lol.

I have a story like that, but it is differant. I was in line at Walmart, about 2 weeks before Valentines Day. The customer had a few kids with him, and they needed a price check. I was next in line. The customer, mentioned, that he was in a hurry. He was complaining to the cashier, as if it is her fault, that he didn't get one, with a UPC. I told the cashier, that I am not in a hurry, and I know how crappy some customers are. Right then, she the price, and he left fast, without saying sorry.

I had maccas for lunch today, they had staff running their butts off and of course people were impatient, I stood there minding my own freaking business (just got my first mp3 player so I was playing with my new toy) but dont worry I took it off when I ordered. Then went and stood with the rather large group waiting and started chilling to my 1970's funk.

The staff gave me an extra cheese burger, because "you were so patient with the wait" (it took about 15 minutes because of the backlogg) said while glaring at the guy across the counter currently asking them if they were growing the wheat for his burgers bun.

Just goes to show, it pays to treat other people like human beings!!

ugh. I'm never EVER walking into a McDonald's again. If the boyfriend wants to eat some, he's on his own, and he'd better brush his teeth and gargle before he tries to kiss me!

Last night I picked up my new car (okay, my FIRST AND ONLY CAR EVER!!! I'll have to introduce you all to Miss Daisy later... no cookies for the reference, it's TOO easy) and on the way home, since it was late and I hadn't eaten, I picked up some McD's. Ate it, and was surprised at how good it tasted (It's been a long time). Went to bed and all was groovy.

Woke up at midnight with the most excruciating intestinal cramps I've EVER experienced (this is about 3-4 hours later, plenty of time for the stuff to be half-digested). RAN to the bathroom and... err.... let's just say I spent several hours in the precarious position of my digestive organs attempting to escape from TWO directions, with some alarming blood content involved. Lasted two hours, and then I was right as rain and felt fine. *puzzled* Definitely the weirdest episode I've ever had, and I'm NEVER eating there again!!!!! (Doctor confirmed this morning that it was a "what I ate" thing and not a viral thing).

Sorry... had to rant.

You'll be driving Miss Daisy, then? Good, I don't need cookies right now anyway.

that was the idea I was going to put big daisy decals all over her, but the boyfriend said he wouldn't be caught dead in her if I did *sigh*

I put butterfly decals on my new little car named Brendon and my father drove him and asked to take the decals off. They're magnets, by the way. I said no way, it's my car and the only one I've had that's pretty enough to do anything cool to.
