isn’t that just 2 potatoes?
This is making me wonder if anyone has ever gone to Wendy’s, ordered 2 large fries and ended up with 2 baked potatoes instead. 🤔
There’s a restaurant chain here in Germany called Frittenwerk, they specialize in Poutine-esque loaded fries. Currently, they’re also offering their usual toppings on baked potatoes instead of the fries and it’s so fucking good
This reminds me of a restaurant we have in Australia called “Lord of the Fries”.
So far I haven’t been able to find anything as good in the USA.
The worse the pun, the better the food!
As somebody else said, the US (and other societies with similar levels of customer entitlement) would be improved by universal national service in retail/hospitality
What other societies have similar levels of customer entitlement? I think this is mostly prominent in areas with great inequality.
I have nothing to back this up with except for my own experiences though
I disagree, shitty people are always shitty. They would be emboldened with doing the service because now they “know how to do your job” and “they’ve done their time”.
Yeah, i think this is right. I know a few people i worked with in customer service who were wankers before, during and after.
Pfft, customers. Can’t live with them, can’t live without them, amirite?
Bored apathetic McDonald’s worker: … please sir, get off the table … (then walks away to check the deep fryer)
Ironically I currently work at McDonald’s and could not give a single fuck less about what customers do anymore.
The burnout is real 😮💨
I wonder why it’s so different in the US compared to my country (Denmark). McDonald’s has been awarded “best workplace” for several years in a row.
We do have much stronger regulations on employee welfare, mostly from unions. And of course much higher pay.
If it makes you feel any better, McDonald’s genuinely feels like the safest space when you’re rock bottom. It’s safer than church.
As someone who has never worked in fast food I’m curious as to what TF is happening when I ask for a burger with no pickles.
The McDonald’s near me has decided that if I order with no pickles I should get a cheeseburger with no onions, no pickles, no ketchup, and a ton of mustard. What’s up with that?
All I can say is 90% of the people working there literally do not care about anything. It’s like a factory assembly line where you just mindlessly go through the motions and if you mess up who tf cares.
You say this but I find that orders are way more accurate today with app based ordering than ever before.
I used to have issues all the time with placing orders over intercoms or even face to face 10-30 years ago, but ever since I could enter in exactly what I want, the mistake rate went way down. I think it was just shitty intercoms combined with awkward terminals.
Also it reduces it to just the person making your food who isn’t paid enough to give a shit instead of them and the person taking your order. One less point of failure
Maybe McDonalds needs a quality engineer to design poke yoke processes and do MSA testing & gauge R&R.
or it just needs to treat its “factory slaves” like the people they are and pay them a fucking living wage
Well yes, of course, but that’s a problem across the board. lol
so true
How about you fuck off to gemba and collect some VOC?
Usually understaffed and not paid enough to give a shit.
That line cooks life won’t change one iota whether you get pickles or not.
Likely they are just getting mixed up with other orders and someone else isn’t getting their pickles.
The underpaid worker is venting his anger at the customer who demands special treatment. The customer is causing the employee extra mental & physical work without giving the employee extra pay.
A hundred? I’ve not been to that place in a long long time but the last time I had fries from there it was a large serving -because I always got large- and even then I got, maybe, 50ish fries.
Very highly salted, slightly rubbery, thin slices of ‘potato’ filled with fluffy pieces of fuck all. I wonder why I don’t go there anymore…
Well if you get 50 from a large fries, isn’t it feasible they got 100 from two large fries?
Doh, I can read…honest.
But were there really a hundred little ones when he dumped them on the floor? Did this guy ever see Rainman?
This is how some shithead would behave because he thinks he’s right and can’t even invest 1 brain cell to imagine that some overworked and underpaid dumbass is missing just this in their life, one the reasons i got out of the food and beverage because here’s my take on “the customer is always right” after 10 years of working in F&B “the customer can go fuck themselves”, it’s an ungrateful and underappreciated job branch that most stop working in because they start to hate humans
Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, was the guy that coined the phrase, “the customer is always right.” The thing is, he doesn’t mean on the micro level. It was to combat the idea that consumers were ignorant of what they wanted to buy and needed the corperate executive to tell them. Walton accurately surmised that if you didn’t sell the product customers wanted, regardless of your opinions, they’d just buy it from your competitors. Unfortunately, every entitled dickbag hears the phrase and thinks it means them specifically.
An example of the original intention is when an executive decides we need AI in a product and that leads to a drop in purchases. The right thing would be to recognize the market does not want AI in that product and roll back the change.
The worst part is it happens on a consistent basis and the same people always come back just to complain again
No wonder youre stuck working at MAC FUCKIN DONULDZ you cant even do that right you knoe what let me see your fuckin manager right fuckin now youre fucking done pal
A less blurry version of this would be awesome.
I could only find the “original”, without the bottom text. The one with the comment is just as blurry.
That’s good enough! Appreciate it lol.
At least they don’t censor random words to appease the algorithm.
That means the fries were probably not handled with care while they were frozen.
