Today, while making less than minimum wage at McDonalds, I had to dispose of a grown man's soiled underwear that he left on the bathroom floor under a pile of toilet paper. It isn't even the grossest thing I've seen in my six months of employment. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, I went to fold a pair of pants that was left in a changing room to find out that someone had taken a dump in them. FML
Today, I had to tell McDonald's that my 11-year-old son thought it would be funny to take a dump in the urinal. I then had to clean it up. FML
Today, while working at a fast food restaurant, I stayed a little overtime to help my manager with dishes. A kid pooped in the slide in the playground area attached to the restaurant itself. I'm the smallest one there. I had to crawl UP the slide to find and clean the poop. FML
Today, while using the restroom at McDonald's, a hand reached under my stall and took the remaining toilet paper. FML
Today, I had to clean human excrement at work when the fitting room turned into the shitting room. FML
Today, I work maintenance at a warehouse store. I had to clean the men's stall because someone had pooped on the seat, the floor, and got some on the wall. When I took my break, I noticed that my fellow maintenance coworker had poop on his pants and shoes. I then realized that I just cleaned up his “mess.” FML
Today, I was at work at a kiosk in the mall when I smelled something foul. I thought it was the weird dude who'd just walked by so I just carried on with my work. Minutes later, I looked to my right and there, lying on the floor a few feet from me, was a huge turd wrapped in toilet paper. FML
Today, while at my shitty, minimum wage job at McDonalds, a guy walked out of the bathroom. He said "Good luck in there." worriedly, then left. I don't know if it was his handiwork, but it looked like a shit grenade had detonated. It was even on the walls. FML
Today, I had to clean up human poop that someone trailed through the store. Then, as I was cleaning up all the shelves at the end of the day, I saw that someone had changed their sanitary pad, took a new one out of the packed and used it, then left the used one on the shelf. FML
Today, I was at my local McDonald's having a leak when an extremely intoxicated man stumbled in, pulled down his pants, and started to pee on my shoes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How is mcd's paying you less than minimum? When I worked there, it was low pay, but they made sure to follow all minimum wage laws. Sucks when you have days like that.

As a fellow McDonald's employee, I understand you're pain, OP. People can be so nasty. One time, I had to clean up a bathroom stall that had period blood everywhere.

If Maccas aren't paying him minimum, he needs to call fair trading.

Exactly. How is this possible?

Taxes, my friend.

Here in Nova Scotia you can be paued under minimum wage for a 3 month probationary period. You can also be fired for no reason for them. Also, people younger than 16 can work certain jobs, but can be paid less than minimum wage. Maybe OP has a situation similar to that.

I'm not sure what the policy is in Australia, but in Canada, high school students make less than minimum wage.
brittlehorn20 21
A lot of places have a "training period" that has a different minimum wage. I know that where I am the federal minimum for training is about $1 less than federal minimum... However a 6 month training period seems a bit excessive, especially for McDonalds.

Looks like he's from Australia. Maybe their laws are different from the U.S.

#26 - wow... must suck for whatever province you are in. I am from Alberta, started working at 14 and have never been paid less than minimum wage.
jrmertz00 20
I was thinking same about being under 16. When I was there I was under 16 so the minimum wage was lower. But there was still a minimum. The people responding about taxes that does make sense to say your take is under minimum but that doesn't mean you make less than minimum. Taxes are part of life.

Unless op is doing a traineeship through them, there's no possible way they can be paid under minimum wage in Australia.. Unless they've got a dodgy boss, in which case they would have to back pay everyone who was underpaid

Where I live you can be paid "high school wage" if you are under 18 years old
Queen_of_Night 20
You can be paid lower if you are under 18 in some states in the US I believe. Or if he is registered as a tipped employee.

I too am from Alberta, and when I worked at McDonald's at 15, I made minimum wage from the start. I think it's so dumb to have a minimum wage, and then to have loop holes to avoid it. Minimum wage should be minimum wage. As well, to hear all these people talk about a high school wage, or an under 18 wage, then why are people saying minimum wage shouldn't be bumped to 15$ an hour because minimum wage is meant for younger people?

In Australia you can be paid less for every year you are under 21. It's actually a good system and makes it easy to get a first job when you have no experience cause at 15 or 16 your cheaper than a 30 year old with lots of experience who might have gotten the job instead.

Huh?

I feel your pain. I've been there.

It's a terrible shame that you had to do that. If only they had their address embroidered in the inside, like any normal person, you could've personally retuned the underwear.
hellnosucka 27
It gives me the heebie jeebies to think there are grosser things out there.

How are you making less than minimum wage? That's against the law, unless McDonald's has you listed as a waiter/waitress somehow.
The_Ikon211 11
if you make minimum wage, after they take out taxes you're making less then minimum wage.

Taxes are part of being a member of society.
MariaGiovanni 25
22 no. you still made minimum wage in that circumstance. your wage is what you earn not what you get to spend.
poostickles 14
Tax isn't paid in Australia until you earn over 15k a year
amzee96 18
In Australia we don't charge taxes to people making minimum wage. You have to make over $15,000 a year to pay taxes.

Per #80: In Australia, you can legally be paid less than minimum wage when under the age of 21.
GreyJedi 10
Still don't need 15 dollars an hour.

This is Australia. Their minimum wage is a lot higher than America's.
GreyJedi 10
Ahh, gotcha.

#17: I'd gladly take $14.99/ hr @ 40-hr wk :-)

At least you're not working at Chipotle..

Womans restrooms are still nastier.
blizzy09 10
It's called MINIMUM wage for a reason... You can't make less legally.
uhnevermind 24
The shitty thing is, they CAN earn less if they're underage or if they receive tips. It's technically legal, and a lot of restaurants and chains exploit that to pay their employees less.
Fairyjoshy 13
No, this is Australia. They don't have "tip wages".
itwasntme14 19
Since when do people at McDonalds get tips?
emokitty91 12
i used to work at jack and would get tips regularly..if you are a nice person people appreciate it
