Just read this, and HAD to rumble out loud a laugh. What is this world coming to? hhahahahahaha
First before you judge me. Let me tell you one thing. I used to work for Mcdonalds.
Here is my story. I at a hospital as a registered nurse. Your restaurant is five miles from my work place. During my lunch break I found out that I forgot to take my fork along. I went across the street to ask for a fork. I have forgotton to pack my fork a few times and there was no problem. This time however I was told that they charge 3 cents for a fork. I asked them why there was a charge they said that they were told that they were no longer allowed to give out forks for free. I told them this is ridiculous. I asked them if they would charge 3 cents extra if I ordered a salad. They said that the forks were for customers only and that they come with salads and if I ordered food from them that they would give me a fork if it comes with the food. At the most they would give me a fork to eat fries. Why should I waste money on them when I already have my own food at work. I want to know why I am being discrimated against. Why should only salad eaters get forks. I kept telling them how wrong and ridiculous they were being. I used to work at Mcdonalds and they make billions a year why should the charge me for a fork. They would not give in to me until I argued with them. Finally I asked to speak to a manager. He too was being ridicuolus and refused to give me a fork. Because of your ridiculous employees I had to rush to finish my food and could not enjoy my meal. I had heated it in the microwave and it got cold by the time I reached my work place. My food was cold and rushed. This incidient happened last Wednesday.
Today again I forgot my fork and drove over to ther restaurant. Not wanting to deal with low paid idiots again and having to rush my lunch I paid the three cents they asked for.
Here is what you should do to make me satisfied. First of all at $4 a gallon for gas I feel that I should get a gift card for the gas I wasted going to and from your restaurant (two trips back and forth, Wednesday September 10th and Tuedsay September 16th. I would also like the three cents for the fork back because it is ridiculous for them to charge for forks. Finally it would not hurt you to give me free coupons to tempt me to go back to your restaurant.
I am a registered nurse and I feel that I am being discrimated against because of my job because these minimum waged employees are jealous of my successful life.
September 21, 2008 at 7:43 pm #171304twistedmetalMemberIt’s McDonald’s fault she forgets her fork multiple times.
McDonald’s is 5 miles away from work, yet she goes ‘across the road’ to it?
Why should she waste her money on ordering food for a work, when she has one already at work?
McDonald’s discriminated against her, because they wouldn’t give her a fork. — I think THAT is funny on multiple levels
It’s McDonald’s fault she wasted time arguing over a 3 cent fork, so she had to microwave her lunch and not enjoy itThis is how McDonald’s should satisfy a NON customer (or maybe a customer, if you count her paying the 3 cents for a fork):
– gas card for the wasted gas for her to go to McDonald’s because she forgot the fork at home
– the 3 cents back for the fork she bought
– AND coupons to entice her to eat lunch THERE instead of bringing it from homeThis RN feels she is discriminated against because an owner of a company refuses to shell out free forks to this dumb bitch every day she forgets hers.
September 22, 2008 at 1:22 am #171305TigerbladeParticipantI agree with twistedmetal’s statements. He/she (doesn’t mention gender anywhere) is pissed because McDonalds didn’t just giver her a fork? Sure it’s a dumb thing, but was that fork really that big of a deal?
Quote:Because of your ridiculous employees I had to rush to finish my food and could not enjoy my meal.Um, it’s not their fault this person forgot the fork or decided to run to McDonalds to get one… several times. It’s their own damn fault. Forks may be only 3 cents each, but if they start giving them out to anyone who asks that’s going to add up quickly.
I think there’s more to this story than the author gave – like the point about it being both “five miles” and “across the street.”
September 22, 2008 at 11:34 pm #171307NessaParticipantI completely agree with the comments by twistedmetal and Tigerblade but must add: I find this story highly suspicious because I too work at a hospital. Hospitals have cafeterias, hence they have forks. I get mine from there if needed. Just thought I’d bring this up.

S/he does mention that s/he “used to work for McDonald’s” first thing. Nessa brings up a point: How can you not find a single fork in a whole hospital?
Either way, it’s still their own fault they forget a fork/were not willing to follow the rules and pay 3 cents for one. And it was ridiculous they got so angry over this.

Quote:I feel that I am being discrimated against because of my job because these minimum waged employees are jealous of my successful life.Yeah, I bet that’s it. The teenage cashier is jealous of your “successful life” and is retaliating by asking for 3 cents for a plastic fork. Which you forgot.
Being so successful must be tough.
