Dear McDonalds Customers.

Dear McDonalds Customers who go out of their way to make my job more miserable,
Just because you screw up your own order by looking at a PICTURE instead of the actual number of the meal, does not mean I'm just going to hand you a whole free meal, when it isn't the one you ordered. Please stop being so stupid.

For those of you who come in every damn day asking for FRESHLY MADE food... GO TO JACK IN THE BOX! Everyone knows that McDonalds food is pre-cooked, not prepared fresh to order. Please stop coming in during our rush hours with your big group of annoying friends who all demand extremely customized FRESH-everything meals. You cause us more stress than we need, and you just slow down everyone elses' days. Fresh fries I can understand, but seriously?

To the lady who came in and completely bitched out my manager, and Colby (who is a Crew Trainer) for telling a fellow crew member that he couldn't do something, which he COULDN'T do btw, mind your own fucking business. You said he was acting like he had "some sort of authority"? HE DOES! He has every right to tell the kid that he can't hand you fucking free food because YOU are an ignorant bitch who can't get her own order right. And saying that WE embarrassed YOU in front of the restaurant? You COMPLETELY halted everything when you demanded the attention of everyone and continued to bash both myself and my boyfriend for telling a fellow crew member what he could not do. You caused a completely unnecessary scene, and then you filled out a useless complaint form, because someone probably threw it out. You make me sick.

To the psychotic pervert who comes to my counter every day and hits on me... you think calling me "baby" and "mama" will make me fall for you? You're a pig... the first time I met you, you asked me my age and told me I look like I should be in high school, and now you hit on me with the same tired shit every time you come in. You are a disgusting pig.

You people don't understand how hard the food industry really is. The people we deal with, the strict rules we have to follow... I work 6 days a week, 8 hours a day, and deal with almost 200 people a day, and I have to put up with everything they throw at me and keep a smile on my face while they insult me on a professional and a personal level. I get paid $8.00 an hour to do more than most of you ignorant assholes will ever do in your lives. Just because I have to take your order with a smile does NOT give you the right to sexually harass me, to call me names when I make a mistake (OR YOU!), or to insult my co-workers (Yeah, I'm talking to you, you fucking asshole who called Colby "fatty fatty" today, I damn near leaped across the counter to throttle you).

Sigh... does it show that I had a bad day? Everything went wrong... at least tomorrow is a later shift, less hours... I might even get my paycheck a day early.

Please, don't look down on people just because they work in fast food... a job is a job, and who are you to judge? Times are tough and everyone needs the money. When did this negative stigma even start? That fast food workers are dumb and dirty and uneducated... most of the people I work with are either working their way through school... I don't work with any hardcore druggies or prostitutes... some young mothers, but at least they are working to take care of their kids.

We do more, and put up with more, than you could even imagine... unless you already know, in which case you should know that EVERY day is a bad day, and you should keep your mouths shut and leave us the hell alone. Ugh...

I hate people.
I really do.

There's nothing on television... that makes me sad.
I hate watching the same cartoon Christmas specials that have been on the last couple years.

On a totally/somewhat unrelated note, has anyone else noticed that ALL Burger Kind and Jack in the Box do is bash McDonalds? Sure, we don't serve breakfast all day but we shouldn't have to... BREAKFAST is BREAKFAST for a reason! We have larger menus with more options, and just because it is pre-cooked doesn't make it bad.

Let me tell you, every time I go to Jack in the Box, no matter where it is, if there are more than 2 cars in drive-thru, and more than ONE person in the lobby, it is a 30 minute wait, whether you got a milkshake, or a burger or two. Just because McDonalds gets 20 times more customers than the two of your stores combined, and we are the biggest franchise and own more land than any other corporation, doesn't mean you can bash us on everything.

You guys are jsut like Verizon, I swear. Have you seen the McDonalds commercials? They focus their money on making their products look good, and on making people smile... they don't need to bash other restaurants to make themselves look good. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

I guess that's all.
I made myself all hot and bothered over this.

Goodnight.
