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.

I ******* hate it when customers do that. In the words of my boss, "We pay for it, so they should pay for the shit too." Unless it is an extra dollar or more, she needs to shut the hell up and pay for what she wants.

I'm sorry, but your mom is a fool. I've never worked in a fast food place, and I've NEVER bitched anyone out in such a place for anything either. I can't stand that people freak out over 1-5 dollar meals (individually), and think that they're in the right. What a group of hard asses they are for bitching out teens and young adults just trying to get by. It's just fast food people! Just calmly tell the employee your order is wrong, and ask for what you ordered, or in this case just ask why you were charged, nod, and get the **** over it. There is no excuse to get angry over fast food. I think it should be acceptable for the employee to tell such people to go **** themselves, and then refuse them service.

I am a manager at a Mc Donald restaurant. Don't think that we're cheap just because we charge for BBQ sauce. Think about it... a lot of people order sauces imagine how much money if we'd be losing if we were to hand out these sauces for free. It's an expense for us.

So, if its an expense that would run you into the ground if you didn't charge for it, then explain all the other fast food places that DON'T charge for it and HAVEN'T gone out of business. Somehow the McDonalds I used to go to always gave me anywhere from 2-10 packets of ketchup which I didn't ask for or pay for, yet they seemed to be making plenty of money based on how well maintained their property was and how much business they were doing on a regular basis. I didn't even like the stuff and they were still giving it away like candy on Halloween.

Yes of course they should give you something for free, that costs them money. especially when your not ordering the product it was designed for.
