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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after a long day at work, I was starving, so I stopped by the drive-through for something to eat. When I got home and hurriedly opened the bag, all I found inside was napkins. Thanks, McDonald's. FML
Today, I walked to my local McDonald's. I spent the last 7 dollars I had on my meal. As I began to walk back to my dorm, I was mugged. I explained to them I had no money, so they stole my food. 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, I went to McDonald's to get breakfast. I sat my food down at a table and went to get some napkins and a straw. I returned to the table to find that my food was gone, and could hear nothing but "SUCKKAAAA" trailing from the entrance to the restaurant. Some jerk stole my meal. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant and only brought $14 with me to eat. I ordered and ate my meal, then went to the counter to pay for it. I threw $2 into the tip jar then got my bill. My bill was $13.86. I had to reach into the tip jar and take my $2 back so I could pay for my meal. FML
Today, I found $20 in an old jacket and celebrated by buying myself a fancy lunch (well, Burger King, but that just goes to show how well I'm doing in this economy). When I got home, I realized I'd left my wallet at the restaurant while paying with the $20. FML
Today, a customer came into McDonalds and placed his order. He insisted on putting each coin on the counter rather than handing them straight to me, because he doesn't like touching "poor people". FML
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, while using the restroom at McDonald's, a hand reached under my stall and took the remaining toilet paper. FML
Today, after a long, horrible day at work and some fighting with my family and my girlfriend, I decided to cheer myself up by going to McDonald's for a change. I burst into tears when the cashier told me they couldn't make me a Mars McFlurry because they'd run out of ingredients. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's pathetic. Seriously. I know the manager was being an arse, but that doesn't mean you should act the same. You should carry some friggin change on you. Who walks around with just $50s then gets pissy about it?

How about you skip the honey mustard? What is wrong with you? And you acted like a baby on top of it. Way to go, slick.

You must of been spoiled growing up. Not everything in life is expected to be free.

133- if that's 100 people demanding free mustard per day, at 21 cents per person, that would make $21 per day. I get the idea though.

Why does everybody freak out about breaking bills? Still the same amount of money.

to everyone who is saying the manager is an ass for charging for the sauce: first of all he doesn't make the rules. it isn't his fault that the company is structured that way. why should he risk losing his job just so you can get free sauce. secondly what makes you think that if its inconvient for you, the rules don't apply? and thirdly he specifically said HONEY mustard. as far as I have seen mustard and ketchup are still free. HONEY mustard is most likely more expensive and therefore has a separate charge.

Uhm... don't get the honey mustard? I'm sure you can survive one meal without it.

I work at McDonald's. And, please allow me to clear up a few misconceptions: 1) We do not go around make rules just to piss you off. We also don't break shake machines, or ice cream machines, or run out of things to piss you off. And we enforce rules because we have too. Not because we want to, or because we like to play the bad guy. It's in the job description. 2) YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER! We serve lots of other people to, and while you *should* feel like a valued customer, we also have to make every other customer feel valued. And when we are running the shift three people short during dinner rush, it becomes difficult. 3) We are just trying to make a living like everyone else. There are several other misconceptions I would like to clear up. But they don't relate, AND I'm too tired to list them because I just got off a nine hour shift, four people short, during the College World Series, in a McDonald's where the drive-thru & grill's air conditioning is not working. Also, I am not complaining about my actual job (serving customers, with a good attitude and good service), that's what I signed up for, and that's what I expect to do. I do not expect, and should not have to, deal with whiny, arrogant, self-absorbed people who are flipping out about things that we cannot control, such as charging for sauces. While my store does not do this, I understand why some stores would. Some people grab sauces like that's the last time they will ever have access to that sauce. Also, the recession.
