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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw a man help an elderly lady with her tray at the local McDonald's. I wanted to do something nice for him, so I added a couple extra nuggets in his meal. He later came up to me and told me I was dumb and didn't know how to count, and that was why I was working at McDonald's. FML
Today, I was at work when a customer, who was going to pay for her groceries, started sorting through her money. She put some coins in her mouth, seemed to suck on them for a while, and then gave them to me. 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 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, while working at Subway, I was about to take a guy's order. He quickly held up a hand and asked for someone else to make his sub, because he doesn't like "ugly people" touching his food. FML
Today, while I was working the drive-thru window, a customer sneezed into his hand and then handed me his money. FML
Today, I saw a homeless man asking for money for food. Not wanting to give him money so he'd spend it on booze, I decided to buy him a full big mac meal from McDonalds. When I went to hand it to him, he quickly waved his hand, denying it saying, "Thanks but I'm a vegetarian". FML
Today, I was waiting for my food at McDonald's. I watched the most obese, sweaty man sneeze into the chips, wipe his nose on his hand and use his hand to shovel chips into a bag. They were my chips. FML
Today, a customer gave me the dirtiest look ever and muttered, "Goody two-shoes prick" after I asked if he'd like to donate a few cents to charity. FML
Today, I placed an order at a fast food joint, when the elderly lady behind me cussed me out for ordering the same thing she wanted. She ranted that I was a "dirty thief", while everyone else glared at me as if I was holding up the line. What the fuck? FML

You totally should've put some hair or spit in his food, guess who's touching your internal organs asshole! Bonus points if you get a sick coworker to do it with you.
Lebeaugars95 20
did you tell him the 'poor' people are the ones making his food?

#15: Umm a surgeon? That's the only person I'll allow to fondle my internal organs. Or my rectum.

If he was so rich why was he using coins?

Did you put each French fry on the counter?

Dude you should've been like "oh that's fine, I don't like touching assholes anyways. Too much shit going on."

@76 If he's like me, (no not the rude aspect) he uses change instead of a bill because we hate breaking bills down. If I have a $5 and a dollar and some change, and make a purchase of $1.87 I will find the best way possible to come up with that amount instead of using the $5 bill.

@76 Rich people have coins too! Just more of them.

How does this happen more than once? I mean, I don't wanna side with the guy 'cause he sounds like a complete ass but if you don't like 'poor people' as he put it, why the f would you go to Mcdonalds?
doodlecloud 27
Actually, come to think of it, you don't really touch other people's hands when exchanging money anyway.. I kind of drop it into their hands in a specific way so as to not drop coins everywhere. This makes no sense on any level. But then I guess I'm a fool for trying to find logic in this kind of thing...

I worked in fast food while at uni and had this happen... I looked him dead in the eye and said I was completing a degree with honours at uni and contributing to science. The hospitality job was just to keep me occupied and earning whilst learning. casual fast food jobs often offer flexibility with hours. The ******** assumed because I was in fast food that I had to be dumb and poor. Dont make assumptions people. Fast food employees may be the next doctors and lawyers!
Taylor22294 24
My question is why did he automatically assume he's poor. Could be a Baller outside of work. Just likes a constant pay
HersheySquirts 17
You should have insisted on giving him a hug.
desoxyn242 14
He should have grabbed a rubber glove to pick up the change!
soapfrog 2
You should have tried to hold his hand.
Fritterzz 13
Perhaps he had peniaphobia, the fear of poverty.
Stazza11 27
... There is no such thing. People need to harden the **** up. I mean why does there have to be a fear for everything? I could run my hand through my hair.... WHOAH WHATCH OUT, here comes another pointless scientific name for something that doesn't exist.

Fears don't have to be rational to be real. Not the I agree with what the customer did. But there are plenty of phobias which people can't control.
GamerG0DDESS 29
I'm afraid of faces, I realize my fear is irrational and ridiculous; just because it's a jerk like fear (such as homophobia or the fear of certain races) doesn't mean it cannot exists. I also fear men because of a certain event early in my childhood. Yes, it's awful that some of the people with these fears have bad ways of reacting to their particular fear (such as racism, sexism, vulgar language, violence), but they exist wether we agree or not.

#112, Can I visit you on Halloween?
ChristianH39 30
Phobias are anxiety disorders, some may sound ridiculous but they definitely do exist. A phobia isn't just a fear, it's a fear of something irrational or to an irrational degree

#99, just because you are ignorant and don't like certain things doesn't make them any less real.
GamerG0DDESS 29
I suppose you could, 126; you wouldn't see me since I avoid my doors like it's a disease. Due to my irrational fear of faces I tend to avoid windows, doors, or anything that may show the outside world. Strangely, since you mentioned Halloween, masks don't set off my attacks, so I can talk to someone just fine if their face is covered.
Swandive235 27
Anyone who pays with coins is cheap or poor. So this guy is obviously jealous.
KingSplatter 9
I get a bit of twisted pleasure in paying with exact change. And better still when it comes to, say $7.35 and paying with $12.35 and watching the person behind the register almost stroke out trying to figure out that I wanted a $5 bill back
xxrogerthatxx 19
Or pushing his problems on others. I know there is some psychological term for it.
GamerG0DDESS 29
16, the term is "projecting" I believe.
xxrogerthatxx 19
thank you 16
larsvH 14
Or he paid with euro's
natmarie94 17
If he thinks he's so much better why is he eating at mcdonalds?
gramirez23 9
Mcchickens duhh
DiamondGirlj 18
Yep, mcdonalds is very high classed! (for people who can't tell, this is SARCASM)
Marie54321 19
I would've told him that there's a new policy where you have to shake hands with customers for being 'great'
xxrogerthatxx 19
But yet he'll let them handle his food? OK.
Brandi_Faith 34
Seriously. If he doesn't want poor people touching him, why is he ok with them touching/making his food?
