Work, Money, Health and Food: Eat to the beat

Eat to the beat

By Anonymous - 04/08/2021 06:01 - Germany - Ebersbach

Today, working at McDonald’s, I get lunch money on top of my salary. Well, actually I don’t *get* the money, I can eat the money. No freestyling though, only items that are actually on the menu. I guess my health and my figure won’t be lovin' it. FML

Today, my boss told me he was going to start taking money out of my pay, because his wife makes us lunch. I work for my dad, and he wants to start charging me because my mom makes me a sandwich. FML

Today, I was getting lunch at a fast food restaurant. My boss was in front of me, and in order to get on his good side I offered to pay. Instead, I got fired because I guess my boss assumed I was making fun of his salary, which I knew nothing about. FML

Today, I work at McDonalds. I burned my hand while cleaning their grill and have a 2nd/3rd degree burn from my pinky to my wrist. When told about this, my manager told me that there was "nothing that they could do for me and to tough it out". However I was given a free McFlurry. FML

Today, uncertain of having a job next month or being able to pay rent, I'm filling out tens of online surveys a day for gift cards to McDonald's, to buy hamburgers that I can freeze so I will have food for the coming months. 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 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, my parents are mad because I turned down a job. It offered below minimum wage to work 12-hour shifts, six days a week, and the list of benefits was less than the occupational hazards. When I showed them what McDonald's was paying and their benefits in comparison, they accused me of being lazy and entitled. FML

Lying liars

Today, while working at McDonald's, I was pulled into the manager's office and informed that I'd been caught stealing money from the safe. When I told them to show me the security footage, they refused and fired me on the spot. FML

Mismanagement

By Anonymous - 09/01/2017 20:30

Today, my parents accidentally bounced some checks through a miscommunication. They now owe the bank $700 and can't afford groceries, which means we're relying on me, a 17-year-old girl who works at McDonald's 2 days a week, to get us by for the next few weeks. FML

Do McDonalds salads have still have more calories than a Big Mac or did they get shamed into correcting that?

Isn't it annoying to see all those people who aren't familiar with the FML lore and overarching plot?

When I worked for McDonalds, they actually told me I had to stop getting a salad as my meal because it was an expensive item on the menu. Literally my 1 free meal and I couldn't be healthy. I bet they still do that.

Maybe that'll get you to "stop the lesbian shit."

It's a callback to a story from a few days ago. McDonald's was also central to that one.

Man they’re not true FML fans if they don’t follow the lore! They’re missing out!

I agree. People should be familiar with the most substantial and influential texts in Western Civilization. Shakespeare: "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" The Bible: "nothing new under the sun." Greek mythology: Achilles heel The last few days of FML: Stop that lesbian shit. Not necessarily in that order.

I used to work at Hungry Jacks. I used to make a salad with the salads we had for our burgers and cut up a grilled chicken patty. Got sick of the menu items very quickly.

When I worked at McDonalds they gave me a free meal, but I kept getting salads and they were like, I wasn't allowed to because it was an expensive item on the menu...

just do a "get thru work" snack of fries/salade n burgers/chicken and avoid pop and the generally sugary stuff

Pet peeve, but here goes: if you work at McDonald's, you earn wages, not a salary. They are not the same thing.

companies will call it a salary to make you feel like you are on the right path and make it a harder decision to leave. it's a lie, but my company does the same thing, and we have actual salary and non salary workers. just some sneaky shit.
