Is there anything that really makes their job shittier about this though? Than than dealing with three orders instead of one?

If anything with the focus these days on metrics around how fast they can serve customers these three simple orders probably made their metrics look better so they could slack off on the next few orders.

But yeah just says "I'm a cheapskate."

When I worked in a restaurant I wouldn't have cared because I got paid hourly, like a McDonald's employee. The customer is still making a habit out of McDonald's so maybe this is what corporate wants.

I'd say, potentially yes.

I say that, because 1, is been over 2 decades since I worked a McDonald's, so things could have changed. And 2, it depends on the time of day. And secret third option, depends on the customer.

So generally speaking a certain amount of food will be cooked before hand and kept in a warmer for only so many minutes (ideally). So it is possible that there wasn't enough chicken nuggets ready to go and they just had to be counted out. If that's the case the person just needed to make more chicken nuggets.

However, even back when I worked there you had a plethora of customers who would demand fresh stuff and I know it's only gotten more popular to do (don't do that). So if this individual demanded that they be freshly made and it was done during the rush... Then yes absolutely this could have made somebody's day worse.

Fresh McDonalds!? 😂

But seriously... who demands McDonalds to be fresh? It's literally fast food.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Fresh in they want it cooked "fresh". People do it all the time because they are under the idea that the food just sits until sold, and it's some life hack to demand it be made fresh. People do it with fries all the time, or they'll demand "no salt" (forcing someone to make it fresh) and then once getting the food, ask for a shit ton of salt packets (the salt will not stick to the fries at this point). For sure, not all McD's hold themselves to the corporate standards, but I'd say a fair number do.

Its especially silly to ask for it to be "made fresh" during rush, since they're likely cycling through everything in minutes.

I'd have a hard time not laughing at customers if I worked in fast food I feel. But I am also good at bullshitting so who knows?

It also says "I'm a cheater." Red flag.

Green flag. Drag doesn't date people who pay for meat or movies. Drag expects potential romantic partners to be pirates who are either vegan or meat thieves. In a neoliberal capitalist world, the biggest act of rebellion against the unfair conditions of production is not to pay.

Also, drag would very much like to be told how to use Android emulators to scam McDonald's out of chicken nuggies. Drag is finding it difficult to fit fake meat into drag's budget, but drag still wants chicken. Drag has a bottle of tonkatsu sauce that turns fried chicken into Japanese style katsu chicken.

Depends on the context. If they start out with a speech about revenge, use it as a demonstration of their work, or make it a goofy play on 90s hacking, it could be fun for the right person at the right time.

But if they went into it saying “I’m such a little tendieslut. God, I can’t wait to steal some chicken. My neighbor blew me behind there *point* when it was still a Wendy’s, and that was confusing because she was just supposed to drive me to my mom’s place so I could get ready for junior league” then their audience shrinks considerably further.
