Today, a person came into McDonald's, where I work. They ordered a Happy Meal. As they were an adult, I assumed the meal was for their child, who wasn't with them. When I asked if the toy was for a boy or a girl, they said the toy was for them. I still had to ask if it was for a boy or a girl. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to McDonald's and ordered a Happy Meal with a girl's toy. The high school girls behind the counter said I was too old to be served one, and I had to go home and explain to my sick daughter why she didn't get her toy. FML
Today, I was minding a 6-year old boy. He begged me to take him somewhere. I rang his mum, and she said I could. He picked to go to McDonald's. He ordered chicken. After his meal, he told me he was vegetarian, and wanted to try some meat while his mum wasn't around. I got the blame. FML
Today, while waiting on a customer at a restaurant, I accidentally asked a midget if she'd like a children's menu. FML
Today, I was at McDonald's and I was going through the drive-thru. As I was driving away, I checked my food and the lady had given me a Night at the Museum Happy Meal toy by mistake. I got so excited that I crashed the car into a pole. I'm 36. FML
Today, I ordered two double cheeseburgers from McDonald's and asked for one of them without pickles so they would think I was ordering for two people. Both burgers were for me. 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, 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, my 18 year-old daughter comes home, telling me she has been fired from her job at McDonalds. The reason? They had iCarly Happy Meal toys and she couldn't resist stealing one. FML
Today, while I was working at McDonald's, a man and his wife ordered a Sundae. I gave the guy his sundae and realized I'd forgotten something. I said, "One second sir. Let me grab your nuts." I realized what I said when his wife gave me the death glare. FML
Today, while I was working at Chipotle, a teenage girl asked in all seriousness if she "could have a steak burrito, but with like, chicken instead?" FML

I hate how they always assume you want a certain kind of toy based on your gender. I may have been a little girl, but I wanted the toy car, not the toy barbie. And guess which one they always gave me. :(

yeah, I work at Mcdicks to, and I get those everynight since I work overnight. not only do they DEMAND a toy, after they order (in drive thru mind you) they drive off like idiots leaving you with a happy meal sitting there molding all night long. you have it easy my friend. Notice you are from ontario too. Ottawa, 4416 Innes Rd.

agreed. I remember that the boy's toy was always better. The car moved, the barbie was just a single piece of plastic that couldn't move in any way. **** that sexism!

@silvermoonstar3 and letitbe56 Agreed the boys and girls separate toys thing sucked. I may be a bit biased in this as I thought I was a little girl asking to have the boy's toy all the time, now I'm a teenage boy.

So what? Just ask them what toy they want. #16 is right... it's not good to assume they're going to want a toy based off of gender. Heck, as a female, sometimes I felt the toys they had for boys were much more fun than the girly princess toys

I hate it when somebody talks about a single person sing "them". You don't need to be so PC, so can say it that was a man or a woman. FYL for being so sick PC.

that's what the FML was about, the guy didn't know if it was a man or a woman.

You deserve it for refering to one person as 'them'.

That's the word you use when the gender isn't clear or simply not stated. I'd refer to the OP as "they" or "them", because it doesn't say if THEY are female or male. Learn your own language before calling someone out on it.

I honestly think you have problems with your brain.

It isn't sexism at all. Just imagine being cooped up in a gross McDonald's all day, listening to countless stupid people order their stupid burgers. I would rather assume the girl wants the Barbie and the boy wants the car and get it all over with.

No I think this FML is about "Today, I work at McDonald's, FML.

No it's about not knowing the gender of the person who walked in and basically telling that to his or her face.
