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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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, 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
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, a customer berated me and told me to stop whining because I have to work on the weekend. What did I do to deserve this? I said, "Hi, how are you doing today?" FML
Today, after working my shift at McDonalds, I went to clock in at my dispatch job. During a 911 call, I blurted, "Would you like to try the McRib while it's back?" FML
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, a customer at the fast-food joint I work at gave me a pitying look and asked, "How's that liberal arts degree treating ya?" FML
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 working the drive-thru at McDonalds, and as I handed out a Diet coke to the customer, the man started growling and yelled "HULK SMASH!" He smashed the cup with two fists and drove off. I was drenched in soda. FML

He's probably right, but if he's your worst customer today, you're doing well!

OP should say, "At least I have a job" or "at least I am not eating the food", to make him feel bad.

how is this even an FML.. This one is just stupid.

He wouldn't have a job for long after talking to a customer like that.
TheCanucklehead 22
Yeah. Then op should've wrote him a strongly worded letter. That'd show him!

How do you know he doesn't have a job??

Welp, my mother is one to look down on people who work in the fast-food business, I explain to her every time we go through the drivethru that the people may just be looking for a better job. Some people just never learn. Hopefully OP, you don't have to deal with more customers like that.

Customers are idiots. So just ignore it. I worked in mcdonalds and we had all sorts of stuff including customers assaulting staff members and customers buying drinks just to pour them over staff members. So you had nothing compared to what they could have done.
persianninja 23
They do that stuff because of the "customer is always right" rule which I think is complete garbage you should never disrespect someone who works in a restaurant just because your having a bad day

9/10 times at my grocery store job when a customer approaches me they are ultimately wrong. The only ones who tend to be right all the time are former grocery employees or chefs. I don't hesitate for a second to correct a customer if they're wrong, plain and simple. Saves the hassle of issuing a refund later for their stupidity when buying the wrong product. Besides, you can't possibly tell me a customer is always right when they bring in expired coupons and expect me to honour them. :P The rule isn't enforced in Canada and is typically only brought up by American tourists. The rest of us are generally polite enough to not push the workers too much.

"Check back with me in ten minutes after you've eaten some boogers, spit and maybe a little bit of poo. Then, let's see how you are."

And that is when you spit in his food or have a coworker do it for you. You can have so much power when you work in the food industry and people ought to learn not to piss off the people that handle their food.

Exactly. If they fix your food, body, house, or car... treat them with respect.

I thought people knew about one of life's golden rules : You never **** with someone who prepares your food!

or don't bite the hand that feeds you?

Actually he's not since he's the one eating their food.

True…

I'm lovin' it. Not actually though, why are you serving people McPoison anyway? Worst food.

Most likely it's because it's the best OP can do for now. And McDonald's isn't that bad, but personal I'd never work there. I mean I work as a dishwasher and food prep and sadly get paid more than most McDonald's managers.
AestheticGuy 21
@12 Fair enough but I hope he/she doesnt eat there.

Depending on how much a person makes, sometimes they have very little choice on what they can afford to eat. Sadly, McD's is much more affordable than a proper meal. I grew up eating Mac&cheese & hot dogs five nights a week. Nutritionally, that's not much better, and now I can't eat the stuff.
AestheticGuy 21
@20 come on bro, dont kid yourself, ingredients for basic meals dont cost much

But they still cost much more than a cheeseburger. If you're like me and you have to pay for college, braces, rent, etc., McDonald's is a luxury.
TheDrifter 24
If it costs more than a McDonalds meal per person you're doing it wrong. I generally average around $2 per person for a proper meal, unless we're getting fancy.

Nutrition as a luxury>braces as a luxury. Priorities at its finest.
