Today, I was at McDonald's. As I left the counter with the food, I heard the cashier mutter, "Fat ass." I turned around and demanded to see the manager. Once he came and heard the situation, he looked at me and said, "Well, it's not like he's wrong, right?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Assume the worst, huh?
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
Sorry, I didn't mean…
Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML
I just work here
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
I'm lovin' it
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, I was working the drive-through at McDonald's. I greeted a customer with a, "Hi, how are you doing today?" His response: "Better than you." FML
Crucial information
Today, I was at work at McDonald's, at the front counter when an elderly lady came up to me and whispered, "I just shit everywhere in your restroom," then turned around and walked out the door. FML
Gratitude
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
What in the world…?
Today, I noticed I was overcharged at a fast food place, so I asked the cashier to correct it. He got an attitude, so I asked for the manager. The next thing I know, some dude shoved me, yelling, "Shut the fuck up Karen." I fell and hit my head. People in line laughed and cheered. FML
Tipped off
Today, I was taking a table's order. After I finished, the guy told me, "Just FYI, I'm not a tipper." Trying to lighten up the situation, I replied, "It's amazing how many people forget I handle their food." He complained to the manager that I'd threatened him. 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

I think it was the 4 Big Macs, 3 large fries, 8 apple pies, and 2 ice creams that tipped them off. Oh, and the Diet Coke.

No matter how big OP’s order really was and no matter whether OP is obese or not, the comments by the cashier and his manager were simply unprofessional.

Some people ask me, "why do you drink diet coke?" And I say, "oh! So I can eat regular cake!"

those orders are def my favorite. double qpc lg meal lg diet.
countryrose92 23
Eh, yesterday I ordered 3 egg rolls, 2 tacos, a curly fry, a regular soda, and a hamburger with extra stuff on it. Doesn't make me fat, makes me pregnant and from out of town where I don't have my favorite resuraunt anymore so when i come through town I order every thing my taste buds are craving and take a bite of all of it. I don't actually eat it all tho... But the cashier and my friends still look at me like I am crazy when I order. I always have another 2 meals from the visit tho. :) yum

Being pregnant does not mean eat everything just because you feel you're obliged to do so. I hate when women think, "Oh I'm pregnant. I can eat whatever I want." That is not ok. You should eat healthy for your unborn child to develop properly. It's ok to eat other stuff too, but in moderation.
jameen 11
Here's what you do: Take your cheese burger,and cut it in half. And now it's half the calories! And because it's half the calories you can have double the amount!!
pmadNess 16
Doc, you're too funny!
Raesin 21
As funny as I find those orders, has anyone ever thought that people don't like the fuzzy feeling of all the sugar stuck to their teeth from the regular cola?
Reaper1984 13
94 well said, what I don't get is when they have the baby and then cant figure out why they gained more than the 30 to 40 lbs they're suppose to gain during pregnancy

I hate when people act like they can do whatever they want because they are pregnant. Yes it's a big deal but no reason to act like a bitch

44, Unprofessional? The cashier works at McDonald's. There is nothing professional about that.
KingDead 18
Lol, right on #166.... McDicks is truly a disgusting place, full of unhealthy foods.. The fact that even parents will bring their children there sickens me... I hope you've all seen the photo of a 12yr old patty compared to a freshly ordered one.. Exactly the same, no mold or anything.. People really need to stop going there... McDicks is one of the top 10 richest anything, in the world..Franchise, organization.. Shame on anyone who eats there..
diaosi 4
Yeah, McDonald's is such a classy place, how dare he talk like that to the esteemed customers.
Alexis2742 31
I work at McDonalds and we are not allowed to talk to our customers that way. "the customers are always right" is our motto. Well, that and "Would you like fries with that?"
SillyGirl4602 23
I don't ever eat at McDonald's because I'd rather eat real food but it is still considered unprofessional to talk to a customer like that. Sometimes it is very hard to do so but whenever you are working with customers you still have to act in a professional manner.

I'm sorry OP

I just had my son, and I wanted to eat everything under the sun, but I didn't for him! I think I eat more now he's here haha!

What if it was a small fries, a hamburger, and a small strawberry shake? ;P
Czech_Zidane 14
Even if it was the case, the remark was inappropriate.
Zyzz7 12
You're obese enough for someone to say that and you're still lining up at McDonalds? You deserve it fatass.
VengeanceChicken 12
Fluffy? is that really you?
PeaceIsFree 9
Maybe order more drinks to make it look less suspicious. Like your ordering for 3 or 4
Zomg_Okay 27
Or, instead of that, inform the manager that you expect a bit of professionalism in the workplace even from high school drop outs and as such won't be returning. If the cashier/manager can be insulting, so can the OP. Voting with your wallet is the best solution. Forget this "be deceptive about it in case someone says something rude" rubbish.
interesting33 37
Agree with both of you.. the ordering more drinks is genius.. :) But yeah - that was really rude of the employee and manager.
Cupcake040 17
Ehhhhhhhh at places like McDs the people that work there don't really care if you say I won't be returning cause there's another 20 people in line behind you. I work at ikea I hear this all the time it doesn't faze me at all cause then I look forward and there's another 50 customers.
Bibliovore 26
#70, you may not care, but your bosses might. And the person who came to the counter as the manager and further insulted OP may not care, but the owner might. OP, as suggested by others, I'd go up the chain. If you call your local Better Business Bureau, you might be able to get that franchise's owner's contact info, or information on how to file a complaint. Or just call or email McDonald's corporate offices.
Feveryoneslife13 11
Not all are high school dropouts. Some are in high school, and they can be worse
lilhellian 27
Corperate doesn't do shit.. I've called about multiple McD's.. Not a thing changed..
CuhlorRed 7
#70, That is still bad customer service, It takes more money to attain new customers then helping out a current one.
alycion 39
BBB is sort of a joke. Better to go corporate. Even if the franchise is privately owned, they still represent the corporate image. Though the irony of these complaints to corporate is that they usually end in coupons or free food.
nelroca 7
@70 It may not seem that it matters but it does. Word of mouth can put a big "name" on a business or kill a business.
Likian5 26
#70 You must be quite a bitch then if you hear that kind of stuff "all the time." Just saying.
SillyGirl4602 23
70- it might not phase you but it really should. Having the "**** it" attitude is not good for business. Sooner or later you will probably get a bad customer complaint.
Wolvander88 19
OP's name sounds like a guilty excuse..

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
That's a lawsuit right there.
chlorinegreen 27
I would just boycott that particular restaurant and never go back, rather then sue. Not like they slipped poison into your drink and piled shards of glass onto your mcdouble. Or complain to a higher management.
OlgaCornmuffin 7
Yeah, only Jack in the Box does that. :^D
gc327072 31
@60 ~but with the way things are going, the higher manager might be like: "well its not like it's a five star restaurant, is it?"~
8KAGE8 8
Not a lawsuit. Hell. Just retaliate and ask the cashier why he's working at McDonalds. Whether you're right or not, he did the same.
SwaggCapone 11
Had that been me. whatever I just ordered....I'd thrown it at him
gc327072 31
I've never gotten these whole "had it been me…" comments. I mean, yeah, had it been me, I would've pulled a katana outta my ass and gone all Samurai Jack on those jokers, and I would've tossed some 'nades behind me on my way out. But in reality, the most anyone would do is curse at them, and angrily leave. And *maybe* call management. (Though I'd imagine most working people are too busy to do so) Nevertheless, this is still a major FYL.
reflexion213 11
It's against the law to tell the truth?
jessi_sunshine 26
What happened to the policy of "the customer is always right" even when they're wrong? Some people are just rude. Sorry, OP.
acerima 11
What happened to the policy of personal responsibility and not letting yourself become a fat ass
Xalandra 17
Well let me put it this way, the customer is hardly ever right. Of course the cashier and management were wrong is this situation, but customers are hardly ever right. You want to know why they're wrong most of the time? They don't take the time to read their coupons or the sales signs properly. Makes you wonder how they even managed to get to your store when they can't seem to read correctly. Customer "I can't use this coupon on an item that's on sale?" cashier "no ma'am, it's for regular priced items only." Customer "oh really? I didnt see that!" Cashier thinking to herself "well maybe if you read it you'd know..."
natsaysheyyy 16
Well, if OP is fat, then they're fat... Are they supposed to lie?
SpicyDuck 22
@123 No you don't lie, but OP didn't stand there and ask about their weight so it didn't need to be commented on. It was rude and in the working world, even if its "just McDonald's" it is your job to act professional.
hollenbackam 12

Cashier too stupid to realize they already knew that but wanted to get the discount anyway and thought maybe you wouldn't realize what they already realized.
Keevarou 17
And this is why some people should be unemployed. Those who have that kind of attitude should not work in that kind of job. And it is unacceptable for a person to audible say that about a stranger, there is something called manners.
KeannaLove 32
Unfortunately many people lack the ability to comprehend the idea of manners.
Ameel_fml 19
It's sad that there are so many people who can't get jobs despite being nice people with decent qualifications, because there are asshole bosses who hire their asshole friends first so they can all be assholes together.
R4inb0wBrit3 13
I agree. I worked at a customer service place for a long time, but one day realized I was starting to get impatient and rude with the customers. So I quit to avoid something like this. People that can not handle working in a job that requires customer-employee interaction, (even when some customers are complete idiots) should not work that kind of job.
diaosi 4
Right, because most circles of friends try to stick together by getting jobs at the same McDonald's.
bReLiNg 18
Want revenge? Go to the management above their heads and bitch. It always works.
jjmiller1001 17
yes, and you'll get a coupon for something free
laurenlovesjb 20
Yep haha go corporate and you'll have free fries for a year!
gracehi 33
That's what I was thinking, 7. Cooperate McDonald's will have those guys' assess for this.
ouibijou 15
Yeah then he can get made fun of some more.
OlgaCornmuffin 7
next time, splash the hot coffee from your cup on his face & then say...."wait...there was a warning label on there about contents being hot? I didn't see that. they should make the font bigger while I sue the company frivolously!"
Cupcake040 17
Then wouldn't OP get sued for attacking the McDonalds workers......and that would happen even if the drink was cold. I'd rather just deal with getting called fat then go to your solution.
OlgaCornmuffin 7
lol. dammit! do I ALWAYS have to put at the end of my statements "PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ME SERIOUSLY?!" Effin' A people! I KNOW I'm not the only one who is sarcastic on this site! Lol. NO advice I give on this site should be taken seriously! It's merely for ***** & giggles!!!
Cupcake040 17
My bad its hard to get sarcasm from typed words.....but I do work in a place where people have drinks constantly and I've been in a position where I know they've been angry enough that they've contemplated your first comment.
OlgaCornmuffin 7
I just could never envision doing that too someone. I'm the nicest person ever...too nice. but I can see where you're coming from, having been in a position where you've possibly seen situations like that.
botanistjessica 24
Some guy threw a coffee at me the other day at work (because my coworker made him mad). It sucked ass. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
OlgaCornmuffin 7
he was a douche. Sorry that happened! if only wish for someone to throw a frappuccino @ me....& ONLY if they have me adequate time to open my mouth & safely apply my goggles! lol
OlgaCornmuffin 7
true true. I just find it comical how my comments are getting DEMOLISHED with thumbs down. it makes me giggle. :)

@64, you talk about people not learning proper English, but have you ever heard of an apostrophe? Or other basic punctuation?
Georick7 19
But your not funny
ButterflyLadyBug 14
you deserved it . maybe you shouldn't be fat or maybe you shouldn't be eating at McDonald's either !! fatty
buddy51 23
OP- Let this unpleasant experience be a lesson to you- don't eat at micky dee's ever for any reason! Slim down, get fit, go back and tell them to take their greasy pseudo food and shove it! You can do it, op, yes you can!!
