Today, my mother resolved to never visit McDonald's again. Not because of ethics or health concerns, but because they charged her for extra barbecue sauce. She bitched out the man in the drive-through for a good five minutes, while I sat awkwardly in the passenger's seat. FML

Today, my mom was "that" customer at the local drive-thru. She slipped into attention whore mode and bitched the guy out for not giving us extra fries. He said she didn't ask for any, which was true. Instead of apologizing, she swore at him and floored the gas, sending our drinks spilling all over me. FML
Today, I went to my favorite restaurant with my mother. The food took a little longer than usual to arrive and my mom threw a fit, complete with kicking and screaming, in the middle of the restaurant. My mom and I are both banned for life. FML
Today, at the restaurant I work at, my own mom refused to give a tip and complained to my boss. 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, 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
Today, my mom admitted that the only reason she took me out for lunch was because she felt guilty over going on a massive shopping spree for my sister while I was forced to stay home alone. I thanked her for the Wendy's meal anyway. FML
Today, my vegan step-mom found out I ate at McDonald's yesterday. She gave me hell and asked me how it feels to give money to "murderers". All while my dad sat quietly by because he's too whipped to speak his mind. It wasn't even her house a month ago. FML
Today, McDonalds charged me 21 cents for a honey mustard packet. The jerk manager made me break a $50 bill. So I grabbed all their napkins, carried them into the parking lot and tossed them all into the air in protest and drove off. Down the road, I realized I left my wallet at the counter. FML
Today, while at my job, a couple became angry with me because I charged them for an extra ranch they'd ordered, as I'm supposed to. When I explained how it says in the menu how any additional sauces are an extra charge, she said nastily, "That's okay, we'll just take it out of your tip". 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

I'm sure that the 15-year-old working the drive through is really sorry to hear that your mother is never coming to visit again.

Don't you love when people do that?
johnnyryall 3
Haha, if I were the drive-thru guy, I would say, "Yeah lady, we have people in tanks halfway across the world; your BBQ sauce isn't really that important."
MrSassypants 33
You know you can kinda use that for everything and since when did McDonalds get tanks?
johnnyryall 3
Granted, it's the hard truth; and "we" means America and our armed forces, not McDonalds.
MrSassypants 33
Yeah but it's how you said it that sounded like McDonalds has tanks. 8)

Sounds like your mom is like mine. Sometimes I think they argue just for the sake of arguing.

its common sense to charge for extra...so if u say hey i want an extra order of fries that you should get tgat for free too
barlessprison 16
*ridiculous And it's perfectly normal to do that. I have seen loads of people who take so many packets of sauce that it could feed a tiny nation for a year.

Think about it. They pay for it, so why should you not pay them for it?

106: then why do we get *free* refills inside McDonalds? that's potential money going down the drain...
fmshaw 0
Cause you pay 3.00 for a large pop that costs McDonalds 7 cents. Unless you drink 30 refills they're not loosing any money.

Well technically, they're not losing money - but losing a larger potential profit because the customer is drinking more than ordered. And usually the soda fountain is so the clerk doesn't have to waste time filling up the sodas when they could be attending more customers. There's a McD that has a refill fountain that actually doesn't promote the refill and you want but instead put up a sign on the machine that said NO REFILLS. as if the customers gave a crap about that.... Not like the employees can stop them from getting free refills.... OK end of rant ^_^

I'd be willing to bet they save the money they spend on free refills by getting more customers through. Not to mention building sales through repeat business because of quick service. I'm sure they've done extensive cost/benefit of charging for sauces vs giving free refills and giving free sauces just wouldn't get return on investment. Ntm it weeds out assholes like customers that would loose their shit over a 10 cent BBQ sauce.

Before she drove off, you should have told the drive-thru person to "Suck it!" :)
