Today, a customer yelled, "I'll bash your fuckin' face in, cunt" at me at 9:30am because we don't serve the lunch menu at breakfast time. Yes, the 15-year-old girl in high school is responsible for McDonald's entire menu. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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
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
Today, as the manager of a McDonald's, I had to ask a group of high school kids to calm down after several complaints from other guests. Their rational response was to pour soda on my head and throw burgers at me. Upon returning from chasing them out, I sprained my foot. FML
Today, while at McDonald's, I saw an 8 year-old girl licking a life-size Ronald McDonald sitting on a bench. Being concerned, I told her mother, who then yelled at me for 10 minutes for being a "paedophile" and "being turned on by an 8 year-old girl." 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 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, a customer wanted corporate's number because we aren't allowed to sell pies after midnight. After a drug-fuelled cuss-storm, she punched me in the face through the open window, then peeled out of drive-thru like a bat out of hell. FML
Today, while checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML
Today, at Burger King, I was coming back from break. A customer screamed at me because she ordered a double cheeseburger without pickles, and they were put on anyway. She threw it in my face. My face was covered in ketchup mustard and pickle. Did I mention I was on a break and had nothing to do with this? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think every person should have to work in customer service before they die..

Great analysis. Please become a psychologist and help me with all my problems.

I would tell you to quit while you're ahead, but it's WAY too late for that.
illegalbeagle69 23
Well, there ya go, the first step is admitting there is a problem to be fixed.

At least you recognize you were in the wrong.

Oh dear, it appears the internet isn't as fluent in sarcasm as I thought.
MrDonSalvetti 27
It's not the internet but just the FML community my friend...
MrConcise 35
Oh, I know you aren't trying to imply the FML community is dense, get outta here with that noise. I love the people here.

^ I think everyone knows it was sarcasm, it just isn't funny

XD every single comment you made but they made my day, thumbs up for you
cynthianicole95 9
I picked up on the sarcasm, #2. Anyone who thumbed you down either has no sense of humor, or didn't have the mental capacity to pick up on it.

1st, why doesn't your McDonald's serve lunch all day, mine does and it's wonderful 2nd, that guy is a dick, hopefully you don't get guys like him very often
Enkeria 30
This was in Australia. Maybe it's a franchise that doesn't see a point of serving lunch at 9:30. I don't see a point.

After working the night shift at work it's nice to be able to grab a quick meal and then go right to bed. And sometimes, I just feel like a Big Mac at 9am. But maybe that's just me.
wantmeasandwich 26
They don't serve lunch that early here in India either. There's a separate breakfast menu.
lizzy_r_b_94 18
They don't serve the lunch menu till I think after 1030 at all, in most of, if not all aus
tj4234 36
It's the same in the UK. No lunch menu until 10:30am
Brandi_Faith 34
In Canada they don't serve the lunch menu before 10:30 or 11:00. I made this mistake when I showed up and asked for a meal after driving my brother to the airport (I had a huge craving), and they told me they didn't serve lunch yet. Boy was my face red!
brand125 17
3 - i dont know about you but most on canada like mine dont have the capacity to serve both. since the grill has to be set to a lower temperature to cook eggs and we dont have enough grill space to accomodate both eggs and beef without service times being extremly slow (it takes 10 mins to heat up the grill to beef cooking temps, not reasonable for a fast food place) and the setup of the kitchen is very differnt during breakfast and breakfast shit gets in the way. plus most people dont want burgers at 7am. maybe your store is much bigger or something, or completly differnt layout
redpanda39 10
Most McDonalds I've lived around don't do it either, and I live in the U.S. Probably just a few do it if they have the capacity and demand for it.
potionowl 25
A big mac is the best hangover food, and sometimes you need hangover food before 10am.
some_duck 11
guy? she never said the customer was a guy, are you assuming that because he/she was rude, that's sexist.
AlchemistEd 12
regardless of why the store doesn't serve lunch all day, it doesn't and it's nothing to do with her. In Australia, where the comment is from, no lunch menu is served before 1030am. As for the people that want it, in my experience your a minority that doesn't warrant the extra waste/longer service time for the small extra profit (unless you like old cold food?) and if you want it you should request it (properly, through the company website). If the demand is there they'd do it. complaining to anyone in store is a waste of time, it's not their decision.

None of the McDonald's around here serve lunch until 10:30 or 11am. I live in Washington. I used to work at McDonald's and we hardly ever had people complain about it.

lexwilder 16
I say this all the time!! It should be a thing you do as a freshman in high school. Work a week in a job like this and learn some respect!!!
Coland 19
I wish people inherently respected each other
HighasaCloud 46
Why everyone? Why would you wish something so cruel on the people who are always polite customers everywhere they go?
LordMinion 9
I think customers shouldn't be total assholes. Yes, we work in customer service. That means that it is our job to make sure that you leave happy. We need customers to return, so if we have to lick dog shit off of your feet (and have a big ol' smile while doing it.), than so be it. But we deserve the same level of respect as you. Standing behind the counter does not give you a free pass to be an asshole. Believe it or not, we are people with genuine feelings (Shocking, I know!). Most of the time the person at the counter or waiting your tables has nothing to do with what going on in the kitchen! We learned manners in pre-K, people! Use em'.
Redmai 22
I think it is all about how you are raised, and treating people how you would like them to treat you. Folks these days don't see that. Respect is almost a foreign concept among teens these days, imagine them as adults.
LeashaJoy5595 28
I completely agree #4. Working in retail changed so much on how I shop or how to treat the people who have suffer through it. I've never been the "rude customer" type, but even still, it gives you a new outlook; you just think twice before you say something like this douchey customer.
brand125 17
114 - the majority of people that give me a hard time at mcdonalds are middle aged people. teenagers and kids usually listen, (when it comes to wait times, prices, rules to extra charges) in my experience and everyone ive talked to thats worked here. teenagers might be annoying, loud, and be innapropriot with their friends but i never get harrassed by them like an old lady...
ing_fcukit 9
Where is the manager to solce these menu issues, sorry fot that rude customer OP
redpanda39 10
Managers generally don't have control over menu options either. And even if the manager had come to handle the situation, they would have just told the customer the same thing, so it would have done no good.
Joshwarrior 39
Some people are just pathetic and you can't let them get to you. When a customer says something as aggressive as that though even if they are just venting I would talk to your manager and dm to maybe have him banned from your location
oloofe 22
The worst feeling ever is when you shoot the messenger,and your the messenger. It's not like it was your fault so why be mad?
Captain_Debilos_fml 13
He must be fat
CODplayer4lyfe 24
Reminds me of the movie Big Daddy except the other way around lol
WCARlover 35
I went through stuff like that all the time when I was a cashier. People seemed to think I controlled the prices and didn't mind giving me a piece of their mind about them -__-
Miss_Whipped 43
I understand the feeling. You work for a corporation and no, you don't make the rules. I get blamed all the time when customers call in and they aren't happy with the information I provide. It's per policy, I don't just make this shit up on the spot. People love to point their finger at whoever(whomever? Idk) they're talking to simply because they need an outlet to bitch, and it happens to be your lucky day.
