Today, at my place of work in a fast-food restaurant, a customer called in and bitched at me that her warm food was weirdly cold. That is, after she drove 45 minutes from the restaurant to her house. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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, working at a fast food restaurant, I was berated by a customer for a good two minutes. It's okay though because she ended with, "Sorry, I forget you all are real people." FML
Today, I was yelled at by a customer, who was upset over having waited twenty minutes for a waiter to come take her order. Maybe it would be understandable, if she was sitting in an actual restaurant, and not a serve-yourself coffee house. FML
Today, a woman came up to me at work and screamed at me for "taking forever" to come and wait at her table. I work at Wendy's. FML
Today, when making a delivery for the restaurant I work for, a customer shoved and yelled at me because she didn't get any fries with her order. She didn't order any, which isn't unusual, considering we're a Chinese takeaway and don't even sell them. FML
Today, at the restaurant I work at, my own mom refused to give a tip and complained to my boss. FML
Today, at the café I work at, I was yelled at by a woman because the drinks and food she ordered were "taking too long". Before I had the chance to get a word in, she stormed out and said she would never come back. I didn't get the chance to inform her that she hadn't ordered yet. FML
Today, my wife insisted on getting burgers at like 11:58, two minutes before the place closed, which was a dick move. As she’s placing her order, I clearly heard the guy in the back going, “For fuck's sake…” as he restarted the grill. I wouldn’t have blamed him if he spit in her fries, honestly. FML
Today, it's -20°C outside. Half way through my thirty minutes walk to work, my boss pulled up beside me in her car, said "You look cold. I'll see you at work." And then drove away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Some people...... Why did she wait 45min to get home and eat it? She could have eaten it in her car, or gone inside the restaurant and eat it there. Wow

Ugh! I work in fast food too and I deal with the same idiots. I know how you feel OP. Did you explain to her that her food is probably cold because she drove 45 minutes each way to get to, and from, the restaurant? I hope everything works out OP.

When I was a fast food manager I had a customer come in and throw her food at me screaming that it was cold when she got home. She drove a half hour home and then a half hour back to the restaurant just to scream at me

Ugh people are the worst. I work at McDonald's and one time, this lady came in and said last time she got it from us, she got home and it was cold (I mean it's obviously gonna get cold over time it's McDonald's not magic) so she requested us to make her food fresh and she ordered 5 hamburgers and 5 large fries then complained that we were taking too long and she was in a hurry. It's was annoying.

I used to work at McDonalds too. Once, a customer complained that her pancakes were cold, and she demanded new pancakes. After I told the kitchen staff, all they did was put her pancakes in the microwave and hand it back to me, lol. She was happy, because she'll never know! Lol

I feel your pain. I get naive people at the fast food restaurant I work at.

FYL for sure. Some people make no damn sense and just like to bitch. I work in a pizza place and you can tell a carry out customer their order will be ready in 15 min. An hour later they show up and want a new pizza because it's cold. It's totally their fault, but you just have to brush it off and give them what they want. =/

Omg I have the same thing happen to me. I work in a fast food restaurant and it's the only one of its chain left in the state, so people do drive from cities an hour or more away and will call and complain their food is cold when they get home. Luke no shit really?

I don't think that's anything to concern yourself with and probably should have just hung up the phone
