Work: Grow up

Grow up

Today, while working the drive-through at McDonald's, I was handing a gentleman his vanilla shake. He responded by popping the cap off, yelling "Fire in the hole!" and throwing it back in. He then quickly drove off. I was covered in vanilla shake. FML

Today, I was working the drive-thru at McDonalds, and as I handed out a Diet coke to the customer, the man started growling and yelled "HULK SMASH!" He smashed the cup with two fists and drove off. I was drenched in soda. FML

Today, while I was working at McDonald's, a man and his wife ordered a Sundae. I gave the guy his sundae and realized I'd forgotten something. I said, "One second sir. Let me grab your nuts." I realized what I said when his wife gave me the death glare. FML

Today, while working at a McDonald's drive-through, some dicks decided to pull a "fire in the hole" prank. Granted, it has been done to me before, this time was different. These pleasant people decided to use hot coffee. FML

Today, while working at McDonald's, a woman returned to the drive thru because her fries weren't hot enough. She was so angry about coming back that she threw her cold fries at me through the window and told me to "choke on them." FML

Today, I tried to grab a coffee at the McDonald's drive-thru on my way home from work, but as I drove away from the restaurant a kid darted across the parking lot right in front of me. I had to slam hard on my brakes to avoid hitting him, in the process spilling my hot coffee all over my jeans. FML

Today, a guy asked for hot fries at the drive thru. After receiving the fries, he threw them at the drive thru window, complained that they were too hot, and asked for the manager for burning his mouth. I am the manager. FML

Today, after a horrible day at school, I went through the McDonald's drive thru for an ice cream cone. Everything went well until I had to pull a sharp turn. The ice cream is now no longer on the cone, but instead all over my hands, face, steering wheel, and the carpet. FML

Today, while working the drive-through, a woman ordered a large coffee with four creams. I handed her the coffee, and she took a sip. She then hurled it at me, screaming, "I said four creams, not five!" and sped off, leaving me drenched in hot coffee. FML

Today, I went through the Taco Bell drive through. The lady at the window handed me my food and receipt. In a moment of insanity, I threw the receipt at the cashier and yelled, "WOOHOO!" I attempted to burn rubber and get the hell out of dodge, only to remember my car was in park. FML

Today, as usual, I worked at McDonald's. Although I tried to diffuse the situation, an old man was absolutely furious, and punched me in the face over BBQ sauce. FML

That is truly hilarious. If I was you, I would have laughed my ass off after the initial shock and added that story to my repertoire.

Because it's that funny to be covered for the rest of your work day in vanilla shake. Definitely.

I don't understand why it's funny. Op was just trying to do his/her job when an idiot threw his milk shake on him or her. I would be pissed and write down the license plate so I can get my revenge. Who the hell wants to work at mc donalds which isn't a fun job already covered in vanilla milk shake?

At least it wasn't a cup of poop. That happened at the McDonald's I worked at once upon a time.

Eh, I just don't see it as that big of a deal. I used to work at McDonalds when I was in highschool and our team would probably have laughed it off. Personally, I would just go to restroom and wash it off. It's not like it's permanently damaging and it breaks up the monotony.

You're kidding right? Milk shake is hard to wash out without a shower. That stench would linger on you all day long and get worse since milk will be rotting throughout the day. I highly doubt you'd be ok with it.

Lmao, that is so dramatic. It is not hard to wipe off a milk product and then rinse your shirt. I have spilled things like this on myself at work and it is not a big deal at all.

And if you had no time to rinse off your shirt during work what then? Your just insensitive. I enjoy a good laugh, but there is a very big difference between a joke and being an ass and fire in the hole is just being an ass.

Is it weird that the thing that disturbs me most about this FML is the waste of perfectly good food?

It's a waste of food, but there's no such thing as "good food" at a McDonald's.

I'm waiting for the day that wasting time, gas, food and supplies on a random act of complete disrespect for a working American is no longer considered funny.
