Today, while working at McDonald's a car full of obnoxious teens came through. They had made a $30 order, and handed me a tin of small change, claiming that on a McDonald's ad they saw that we, employees, liked counting change. I had to count out $30 in spare change during a rush period at work. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, McDonalds charged me 21 cents for a honey mustard packet. The jerk manager made me break a $50 bill. So I grabbed all their napkins, carried them into the parking lot and tossed them all into the air in protest and drove off. Down the road, I realized I left my wallet at the counter. 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 came into McDonalds and placed his order. He insisted on putting each coin on the counter rather than handing them straight to me, because he doesn't like touching "poor people". FML
Today, a McDonald's employee had to correct my math after counting out $2.37 in change. I'm in AP Calculus and am currently learning how to find the derivative of an inverse of a logarithm. FML
Today, a buttmunch customer brought in $7 worth of pennies I had to count and roll. As I was putting them in the deposite box at the end of my shift, I fumbled and dropped the rolls. All but one broke, spilling their contents on the floor. 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, 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, after a long day at work, I was starving, so I stopped by the drive-through for something to eat. When I got home and hurriedly opened the bag, all I found inside was napkins. Thanks, McDonald's. FML
Today, I work at McDonald's. The entire crew, myself included, got visibly excited that we had new trash cans and dust pans. FML
Today, my parents accidentally bounced some checks through a miscommunication. They now owe the bank $700 and can't afford groceries, which means we're relying on me, a 17-year-old girl who works at McDonald's 2 days a week, to get us by for the next few weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

you should have said "**** you, and come back with cash"...or, you should have gotten your manager to say that instead...i've done that as a manager because bringing in a tin of uncounted change and expecting the clerk to count it for you is just plain rude. it holds up the line behind you and makes everyone unhappy.

You should have refused them service unless they counted it out themselves. If it was during a rush, your manager would have backed you up.

I've had people do that to me when I worked at McDonalds (and I was only getting paid $5.00 an hour). =/ You should have told those kids to go **** themselves. Seriously, just because they have rich parents doesn't mean you have to put up with their bullshit!

McDonalds will always be hiring compared to the businesses that are shutting down or cutting back. There are people who started there as crew people worked their way to millionaires!! McDonalds donates money to charity every day. It’s not a bad job.

And to #104 and #105: McDonalds is always hiring while other businesses go down the hole because your jobs suck. I don't give a crap how many people started as crew and worked their way to the top, you're always hiring cause people are always quitting your pansy job. It sucks, and it's a sucky profession. The only adults I've seen working there dropped out of high school or college and had no place else they could work. Yeah, McDonalds makes money, the employees get paid minimum wage. Congrats, you're really fueling the economy. You don't give a crap about the workers. There's always more and more rules about something. And McDonalds is a cheap ass corporation. Noticed the size of the fry boxes getting smaller? Sandwiches getting smaller and less content? Yeah, they're a bunch of cheap asses. I know, I was told if I fill shit all the way it'd come from my check or my job. Here's the totem pole bottom to top Crew, Customer, Manager, Corp. I hate McDonalds and their nasty food. And I hate the jerks who come through there.

Wow. Those kids are stupid. Everyone knows it's the Taco Bell commercial that shows employees that enjoy counting change.

hahah that totally sucks. I work at Wendys and almost everytime I do the drive-thru register at night I end up getting quite a few people that pay with all change when their totals are over 10 dollars

It's entirely possible that this person is working at McDonalds while still in high school or is working through college. Besides, the OP is making money - McDonalds can be a real job. Everyone should be required to work retail/food at least once in their lives, it might help people respect one another just a bit more.
