Mom accosted me during my morning meditation in a lawn chair and said Alissa's school called and she forgot her glasses. So I had to run them up there and mom added "I am going to the store!" She actually stomped her foot. Fucking dwarf. I don't know why she does that, I have never once refused to take her anywhere. If she'd just ask politely I wouldn't get so irritated, and I think she knows it. I said "Well, people want a lot of things, mumble, mumble." Which, I admit is a lame come back, but, I hadn't had coffee yet. Then I did it.

I never mind waiting for her in the rain, and she knows that too, so she made it quick and said she'd wait for a sunny day to get the rest. Jeezus. Then she says she needs to go to McDonalds because Aunt Ruth wants a fish samich and she'd buy me one as a rare treat. She says rare treat about McDonalds every time we go to the grocery store. She says "rare treat" more than Kate Gosselin. And it's not rare and it's not a treat. I never had McDonalds until I grew up, and I found out I wasn't missing much...except their coffee, which I think is real good.

I ordered the dollar chicken just to piss her off and we all got coffee. When the girl handed me the coffee, the lid was off one and she slammed and squeezed it in a hurry and it spilled all over my hand, which is now red and swollen. It's no big deal, I don't have a lot of feeling in my hands, but, that girl didn't even say sorry. She acted like it irritated HER. That kind of pissed me off, geez, at least try and act like a human. I know you have a shitty job that pays bad and you work your ass off, but, you burned me. I just hate the way they fill the cups to the brim and never check the lids. They do that with milkshakes too. Hey, the cup only hold so much, genius, you can't force more in there. It squishes and blobs out the straw hole and Lissa gets it all over her and my car. Every time. They never give you any ice in the pop cup now so I never buy that anymore.

We just got home and it started to pour, I carried in 12 bags of shit and two cases of water for mom in the rain and she slammed the door in my face. When I looked in the McDonalds bag, there were three fish sandwiches and no chicken. I gave mine to BeeBee. She's not crazy about it either. I told her it's a "rare treat" and she just sniffed her little rat nose and went back to her hammock. I wonder if I have the rest of the day off?

Stupid is one of the requirements for a job at McDonalds. It's not the low pay that makes the workers incompetent, it's just plain, old stupidity. The McD's in our town never gets the order right, never!
I feel sorry for them. Don't they have to hire the handicapped? Some of them are, but, some are just kids or between jobs. It's a suck job and I'm glad I never had to work there.

Man Attacks McDonalds worker!
Oh, loady. They pay them nothing and they get attacked.
I love Big Mac's
I know what you mean about the lack of ice in the pop. Ours has this new automated machine and insist there is "no way to put extra ice in it". Ok seriously?? Use that lump on your neck for something other than two tons of makeup.
The new third pounder angus beef burgers are awesome.
Always, always check the bag before you leave. The mistake rate is at least 80%.
I usually check it, but, mom was yaking. Oh, I love the new Angus and swiss burger. It's on a Kieser roll. WTF is with the ice stingy shit? I hate fountain pop with no ice. It's just warm brown water.
I think the buns they use on the reg burgers are so gross. Always stale and taste like shit. Has anyone tried the Snack Wrap? Gowd, that was salty garbage. I couldn't eat mine at all.
I've gotten to the point where I don't let anyone get away with being nasty to me, especially when I'm paying for something at their establishment.
When I was younger, I was meek and scared and took anything. I learned over the years that a LOT of people will take advantage and treat you like shit if you let them. And lots of them get pleasure from it. I try to be polite to everyone I meet, unless they think they can make me their victim, and then I set them straight PD F-n Q.
I think McDonald's has the best Coke hands down. I will literally go there just to get one and nothing else. They have figured out the secret perfect combination of syrup to carbonated water ratio.
Yeah, McDonald's coffee is good.
I hope your hand is getting better. I had a similar experience when I lived in Brooklyn. The Dunkin Donuts I used to stop by every morning before going to work well there were a couple of Arabic girls working there and one of them never closed the lid on the coffee cup properly. Usually I caught it and it didn't bother me until one day she gave me my coffee and I was running late and I forgot to check the lid. Of course when I lifted the cup to take a sip it spilled all over my clothes and hand. That was the last straw. I complained. Nothing happened because the girl continued doing the same thing so I stopped getting coffee from there. Now I don't go to Dunkin Donuts any more. Hey, I can hold a grudge.
I would think McDonald's would be more careful about hot coffee ever since they got sued by that woman who burned herself with their coffee and she won millions of dollars from them.
I like the fries from McDonald's, but I would rather grab a sandwich from Subway to go with them because McDonald's burgers are kind of gross. Last time I got a McChicken they put so much mayo on it it was oozing everywhere and getting all over my hands. Disgusting.
You need to go back and remind her of the big lawsuit McD's lost to the old lady who spilt the coffee in her lap. She got big money and the employee didn't even do the spilling. Since yours was spilled on you by an employee, I think you might have a case!
At least I think it was McD's. Anyone else remember this?
If you do get your big money, remember I get 10%!!!
Oh, loady. They pay them nothing and they get attacked.
....that's what I thought.
I have had so many of those boring jobs. The ones where you look at the clock and only 4 minutes have gone by.
I make it a point to always look the person in the eye, say please and than you, and try to be as personal as possible. The other day I was at Taco Bell's drive through and the voice asked me, "Can I offer you a Pepsi with that"? I said, "Absolutely Not, you may NOT offer me any Pepsi products because I will refuse them! I only drink Coke!" ( with sarcasm)
I pulled around and she was still laughing. I love to make a cashier or a drive-through person laugh.
I never trust any place where you can't take the hamburger off the bun and eat it. Try doing that with a McDonalds burger and it's an instant gag. Burger King with the fake charcoal taste is the same way. Now Wendy's has a good burger.
Since when did the reply to "Thank You" become "uh huh?" I always say "thank you" and "please", "you're welcome," etc. when dealing with people. When I get an "uh huh" response to a "thank you," I'll repeat "thank you" until I get a proper response. It usually works.
Yeah, I don't see the point in being rude to fast food employees.First of all, I think it's a really, really bad idea to piss off somebody who's handling your food, fast food resturant or sit-down restuarant. Second of all it's just pointless to be rude, I mean I'm sure everybodyw ho works at these places isn't exactly enjoying themselves.
One time I went through the Burger King drive-thru and the girl at the window was stoned out of her mind. She was like, "Uuuuuhhh, ookkkay...you want, uhhh...fries?" I guess some people might have been horrified but I thought it was funny as hell.
I'm enjoying hearing the word "pop."
I'm originally from Chicago but have been in California almost 30 years. They don't say "pop" and they look at you funny if you say it.
It's "soda."
As if ice is an expensive commodity. Wouldn't it be a brilliant idea to load my diet coke up with ice, LIKE I REQUESTED, and then the amount of pop is less. More profit, correct? Every morning I say, lots and LOTS of ice, to the top with ice, then they hand it to me with three pieces of ice. I've stopped correcting them, it takes too much energy.
They can't hear you when you ask for ice in your "pop"..maybe we need to learn sign.
