    Thank you everyone for all the love.
    Before I had kids, I used to buy a kid's meal and a huge drink. Then for halloween, I'd give away all the still wrapped toys.
    That is such an awesome idea. I might have to steal it.

      Aw hell, if I see a toy in a fast food place that I want that's available, I'll buy it. When McSlop offered toys for the release of Pokemon Black and White, I went in and bought two toys - one for me and one for my equally-nerdy Pokemon-loving friend. I eat at McSlop maybe twice a year, but I didn't want their food. I wanted a toy.

      Still, you have to be a special kind of dumb to not comprehend that something is not there anymore. I guess this kid has just never been told "no" before and his brain quite honestly went "error: unknown request" and shut down.

      If he wants the toy that bad, I guarantee you anything someone on eBay is selling it and he can just ask Mommy to buy it for him.

        I think McSlop and most similar places will just outright sell you the toys (for like $2 each) as long as you buy some actual food, as well.

          Screwed, are we as a species if something doesn't change. So, smart people, for gosh's sake, procreate!

            SC “I’m not looking for free food. I don’t want you to give me anything. I want you to get orders right in the first place. 100%. No excuses. There is no reason an order should ever go out wrong.”
            I don't like when my order gets screwed up either, but people make mistakes. No one is 100% perfect.

            So apparently, he didn’t want any resolution, he just wanted to call and bitch at someone for ten minutes and say increasing personal insults to someone who cannot defend them self. Nice.
            I saw something like that happen at the local burger place near my job. It's a small mom and pop operation, not part of any chain. While I was waiting for my order, I saw a guy come to the counter with his sandwich, looking pissed off. There was a small red stain on the end of his roll, and he wanted to know what it was. The guy at the counter apologized for it, and told him it was salad dressing that must have dripped onto it.

            I don't blame the customer for being concerned, but once I was told that was all it was, I would have just cut that small part off and not worried about it. But this guy wasn't letting it go. He started ranting about "that red shit" on his sandwich, and eventually stomped off. No, he didn't want a new sandwich, and he didn't want his money back. He just wanted to bitch at someone.

              Yep, we will. Don't even have to buy any food with it. We are also more than happy to exchange un-opened toys. However, can't give anyone something we don't have. I still have hatred for the kid and I feel normal again now.

                That's because you just KNOW that somewhere out there is at least one parental figure teaching the kid that 'no' doesn't mean 'no' and that if you ask enough times you'll end up getting what you want. Teaching the kid, as in, being a graphic example of how well that behaviour works, because it works for the parent. And you just want to smack the kid hard to jog his brain into correct alignment but you know it won't have any positive effect.

                It's what the kid represents that you hate more than the kid himself.

                  Why would I want to force an innocent child to live in this crappy world?

                  The smart people aren't procreating for a reason . . . .
                  I had a friend say this to me once. My response was, "What if that child could be the one that could make the world a better place? Even if it's just for a few people. Why on earth would you want to deny the world that? It really needs all the help it can get!"

                  At the age of seven, my son took a look at the kids meal toys and decided he didn't want them. He looked at me and say, "Mom, it's just gonna sit in the floor until you throw it away. And I'm really hungry. Can I have a meal like yours?" The only time I've seen him change his mind on the toy is if it's Pokemon or Halo based, and then he steals all my fries...

                  Otherwise, the only time I asked for a toy exchange was when it was a boy's toy given to my girly niece. I was polite about it, so I don't count
                  If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

                      I don't think it's sucky when people ask for toy exchanges. I will gladly do one. The one times I think it's sucky is when the person wants us to go through and find every toy we have and show them while they select the best one. If they just come up and say "Hey, I have this one already. Any chance you have a different one?" and I grab a different one and they accept it, then that is great and no suck. It's just when they take the toy exchanging too far. And it is usually the parents, not the kids, that take the exchanging too far. I actually never even knew that you could exchange your toy until I started working here. My mom was not down with my tantrums when I was little.

                      Also, thank you everyone for the food, drinks, and alcohol. Esp. the alcohol.
