The McDonald's Thread: 'Happy Meal Outrage' Edition

[Eklypze]

Catman, what a d-bag you are. Bread gets mold! This isn't like there was a mound of pubic hairs in your burger or rat feces. The kid was probably new and you said there was a line of people so they were probably rushing everything.

I would have either politely asked for a refund and left or asked for a new order. I wouldn't make a scene in the middle of a restaurant nor use fould language to get my point across.


Im with you Chaseter! Totally uncalled for Catman that kid probably got a spanking from his drunk daddy when he got home!! How ya feel now huh? Knowing that you probably got some kids crazy drunk dad to kick his ass for losing his job!

You have now given this baby full blown aids!!!

[StorminNorman]

Let's give him a medal. He found mold on his bun (Mold? On one of those cheap-ass buns McDonald's uses? Heaven forfend!), and he did the right thing by going up and asking for a new burger.

And I'm sure he did so in a manner that was mature and appropriate, what with all the censoring and shouting behind the line and storming around.

I found three separate and distinctly colored hairs in my burrito once at Chipotle. I wasn't a dick about it. I now pretty much have free burritos for life.

But hey, if you'd rather storm out...

It's much easier to overlook a hair, than to overlook a large mold spot. The carelessness and apathy the employee demonstrated was greater than in your situation.

[Wiseman]

1. Brown some ground beef
2. Pour in a can of Manwich
3. Let simmer for a few minutes
4. Serve on a bun

There ya go! :woot:

in the microwave right:huh:

Even better, I bet he watched Catman go to his car and wrote down his license plate number and followed him home.:wow:

kids today are too lazy for that

[chaseter]

It actually is the manager's fault for accepting the shipment of buns. When food arrives on site, the manager on duty can accept or reject any items. He didn't do a good job looking over the product. I don't know how the cooking line at McD's works but I highly doubt every McD's fully inspects each bun.

[Eklypze]

I think mine was funnier chaseter

Yours ended with AIDS, mine ended with Catman getting tied up and tortured.

[Catman]

Exactly. How can you compare hair to mold? That's ridiculous. You have to be blind to miss a giant mold spot on the food you're preparing.

[Eklypze]

Yours ended with AIDS, mine ended with Catman getting tied up and tortured.


No it didnt!! It ended with "and he followed him home" Mine ended with an Its Always Sunny quote cuz it seemed kinda analagous to the situation I stated above it. So suck on that!!!!

[C. Lee]

You have to be blind to miss a giant mold spot on the food you're preparing.

OH MY GOD!!!!!! Catman had a blind man fired!!!!!! You're just evil.:cmad:

[Catman]

OH MY GOD!!!!!! Catman had a blind man fired!!!!!! You're just evil.:cmad:

Blind people shouldn't be making food for you. :o

[Wiseman]

Blind people shouldn't be making food for you. :o

that's discrimination

[Catman]

that's discrimination

What's next? They're gonna hire them to be cab drivers.

[Hunter Rider]

So, I go to McDonalds for lunch. When I sit down with my order and open the box the first thing I see on my burger is a BIG green spot on the bread. It's mold! WTF? So, I get pissed off and walk back to the counter to show the guy working at the cash register. I say, "dude, what the [censored]? Have you guys lost your mind? How can you sell something with mold on it?" Of course there was a line of people there and they all left. Even the person who was in the middle of ordering said, "cancel my order" and then left. So, anyway, I say to the guy, "call your manager." He does and the manager comes over. Now, I don't know if the guy was shocked or pretending to be shocked but either way he goes to the back to talk to the kid who puts the order together. It was some stupid high school kid working there for summer. Anyway, so the manager shouts at him and fires him on the spot! And the kid, like an idiot, gets mad. I shout at him, "you just sold me a bread with mold on it. Didn't you think you would get fired for that? Are you stupid or something?" So, then the manager comes back and says he'll give me a refund and a new order for free. I said, "are you crazy? Just give me my money back and that's it. There's no way I'm eating the food here." So, he gives me the money back and I storm out of there.

I should probably call some health inspectors to shut that place down. But I'm sure one of the dozen of people who were already there to witness this probably already did.

:mad:

What a Diva. :cmad:

[Figs]

I shout at him, "you just sold me a bread with mold on it. Didn't you think you would get fired for that? Are you stupid or something?" So, then the manager comes back and says he'll give me a refund and a new order for free. I said, "are you crazy? Just give me my money back and that's it. There's no way I'm eating the food here." So, he gives me the money back and I storm out of there.

That's when you went overboard imo and from what it looks like a number of other people's opinions as well.

Yes, even if they were incredibly busy he should have kept a better eye out for stuff like that but you became a drama queen with that line I put in bold. You already said his manager was yelling at him.

I've been in line at retail stores as well as fast food joints and have seen similar situations happen like this one. Sometimes the customer is in the right(your rant was to a point)other times it's the customer trying to get their way even if it's not justified or they are having a bad day and are taking it out on some employee. Either way if I were behind you in line when you threw in that extra bit of yelling I would have probably chuckled and made a snide remark and seen if you would have gotten in my face.

I've done it before in defense of employees who are taking too much heat because I know what it's like to be in a rush working retail or in the food industry and also the fact that we're all human and no one is 100% perfect themselves, or at what they do. I'm not saying he didn't deserve to get fired or yelled at from his manager but you did go overboard.

[Cmill216]

LOL @ Mariah

Whoa! Why did that show up as Mariah??

Catman, what a d-bag you are. Bread gets mold! This isn't like there was a mound of pubic hairs in your burger or rat feces. The kid was probably new and you said there was a line of people so they were probably rushing everything.

I would have either politely asked for a refund and left or asked for a new order. I wouldn't make a scene in the middle of a restaurant nor use fould language to get my point across.

You have to be kidding. Bread gets mold, but not between the time it goes from prep table to Catman's lunch trey. The kid being new isn't an excuse, if you see mold on a bun - you get a new bun. The kid was simply a bad worker.

It actually is the manager's fault for accepting the shipment of buns. When food arrives on site, the manager on duty can accept or reject any items. He didn't do a good job looking over the product. I don't know how the cooking line at McD's works but I highly doubt every McD's fully inspects each bun.

No. I find it unlikely that the buns made it to McD's with mold already on them. This comes down to basic common sense and the worker's completely and utter lack of it. If you make a sandwich at McDonalds with a large mold spot on the bun, you deserve to be fired. Period. You are bad at your job, you are a danger to the company and should be fired right on the spot. There is no excuse.

I am not making excuses for his mistake, I am showing that his response was too much. I have eaten bread with mold, his life was not in danger. He was a bad worker but given the circumstance that he was a kid, he was new, and it was obviously really busy...he made a small mistake. All Catman had to do was ask for a refund or get another meal. The manager would have shown the kid his mistake and he would have learned. Instead, Catman made a scene, made people leave, and got a kid fired. We all make mistakes, no one is perfect and no one should act holier than thou at a McDonald's.

There is no excuse.
Yes it is. I have a degree in food science and I know the procedures in and out. The food comes in and the manager on duty signs a paper saying he either accepted or rejected the shipment. It is his job to properly look at temperatures and the quality of the product. If there was mold in the shipment, it should have been noticed. Do you find it unlikely that spinach makes it to the restaurants with E. coli? Do you find it unlikely that peanuts make it to the shelves with Salmonella sp.? That moldy bread certainly could have been the fault of the manufacturer and even the truck shipping it.

Secondly, if the buns are being stored improperly, to allow mold to grow, then that is also the manager's fault. The kid messed up yeah. He should have been paying attention. But, that is not a reason for someone to be fired. Again, we don't know the circumstances behind that day's events. The kid could have done it before and his firing warranted. But, Catman making a scene was uncalled for. I have had a burger raw in the middle but I didn't go back in and curse at everyone.

[X-Ray]

Shouldn't you be yelling like a mad man at the cooks in the back instead ? Since they're the ones who put the burgers together. If the McDonald's is like any that I've gone to. The person working the register takes your order & receives it from the sliding bin behind them. They usually never check the content. They just hope the cook got it right and go by that.

[chaseter]

Catman sounds like an angry person. He shouldn't be allowed to own a gun...just for our safety.

[Immortalfire]

Mariah? Wtf... :lmao:

[StorminNorman]

Instead, Catman made a scene, made people leave, and got a kid fired. We all make mistakes, no one is perfect and no one should act holier than thou at a McDonald's.

It has nothing to do with danger, it has to do with service. It was not a small mistake, it was giving a customer a NOTICEABLY SPOILED PRODUCT - in food service that is absolutely, totally inexcusable. I love the fact you are creating new circumstances out of your ass here, you have no idea if the worker was new or not.

Catman's actions were completely justified, he should have asked to see the manager (which he did), he should of informed the manager of the gross incompetence of the burger maker (which he did), and the manager (not Catman) fired the kid for his stupidity.

Catman did make a scene, but he didn't make people leave and he didn't get a kid fired. The dumbass worker who was too apathetic, too incompetent, too worthless to see the fact the bun he was working with had a large mold spot did that.

I mean the idea that this was a "small mistake" is ridiculous. Forgetting the pickles is a small mistake, adding onions when the customer didn't want them is a small mistake, having a hair accidentally fall into the sandwich is a small mistake - serving a blatantly spoiled product is bigger than a small mistake.

Yes it is. I have a degree in food science and I know the procedures in and out. The food comes in and the manager on duty signs a paper saying he either accepted or rejected the shipment. It is his job to properly look at temperatures and the quality of the product. If there was mold in the shipment, it should have been noticed. Do you find it unlikely that spinach makes it to the restaurants with E. coli? Do you find it unlikely that peanuts make it to the shelves with Salmonella sp.? That moldy bread certainly could have been the fault of the manufacturer and even the truck shipping it.

Does E. coli naturally spontaneously sprout in spinach? Do peanuts naturally grow salmonella? Aren't you the one that taught Catman the all-so-important lesson that mold naturally occurs on bread?

Secondly, if the buns are being stored improperly, to allow mold to grow, then that is also the manager's fault.

Properly stored bread can grow mold if it is old.

The kid messed up yeah. He should have been paying attention. But, that is not a reason for someone to be fired. Again, we don't know the circumstances behind that day's events. The kid could have done it before and his firing warranted. But, Catman making a scene was uncalled for. I have had a burger raw in the middle but I didn't go back in and curse at everyone.

No it was not - the guy served him a spoiled product. That, in a restaurant, is scene worthy. Catman didn't force any customers out of the store.

:mad:
I actually agree with Nell2ThaIzzay. I think you overreacted. In a situation like that, you quietly go to the front and ask for a new (free) meal, or a refund. Then you go to the manager and/or the health department.

As someone who once worked at Burger King, I can tell you that the bun in question probably passed through several people before landing at his station. Why do they even keep moldy buns? That's what I'd like to know. Sounds like the manager and supervisors weren't doing all the inspecting they were supposed to be doing.

You don't know why that guy messed up. Would you like to be fired over one mistake? He probably made hundreds of orders that day already. Its wrong for you to be proud/happy that you got someone fired.

[StorminNorman]

If I made a hamburger with a mold spot, yes I would have no problem being fired over one mistake.

This is a business, not a day care - a mistake like that is worthy of instant termination.

[Darthphere]

I don't think Catman is wrong but in the matter of common decency, it's not cool to ask anyone if their "****ing stupid". Especially if they're about to get fired. Honestly, I would've kicked his ass.

[StorminNorman]

I don't think Catman is wrong but in the matter of common decency, it's not cool to ask anyone if their "****ing stupid". Especially if they're about to get fired. Honestly, I would've kicked his ass.

I certainly would have handled it differently, but Catman was justified in his actions. (Just like I think the kid taking a swing at Catman for asking him if they are ****ing stupid would have been justified).

[chaseter]

It has nothing to do with danger, it has to do with service. It was not a small mistake, it was giving a customer a NOTICEABLY SPOILED PRODUCT - in food service that is absolutely, totally inexcusable. I love the fact you are creating new circumstances out of your ass here, you have no idea if the worker was new or not.
So any small mistake that occurs in any service industry should result in a firing? You run a tight ship.

Catman's actions were completely justified, he should have asked to see the manager (which he did), he should of informed the manager of the gross incompetence of the burger maker (which he did), and the manager (not Catman) fired the kid for his stupidity.
So Catman's actions of cursing and making a scene were justified? He could have yelled BOMB and got everyone out of there as quick as he did. Plus, he was saying curse words at McD's were there were probably kids. What a role model!

Catman did make a scene, but he didn't make people leave and he didn't get a kid fired. The dumbass worker who was too apathetic, too incompetent, too worthless to see the fact the bun he was working with had a large mold spot did that.
So you think if he was kind and very considerate to the mistake and did not make a scene to cause others to leave, a kid would have been fired?

I mean the idea that this was a "small mistake" is ridiculous. Forgetting the pickles is a small mistake, adding onions when the customer didn't want them is a small mistake, having a hair accidentally fall into the sandwich is a small mistake - serving a blatantly spoiled product is bigger than a small mistake.
Sorry, I would rather have mold on my burger than a hair. Having a hair is gross and you are eating someone's biological products.



Does E. coli naturally spontaneously sprout in spinach? Do peanuts naturally grow salmonella? Aren't you the one that taught Catman the all-so-important lesson that mold naturally occurs on bread?
Does mold naturally sprout on bread? NO.

Actually Norman, mold naturally grows on bread just like E. coli can grow on spinach and Salmonella sp. can naturally grow on peanuts. If old bread is properly stored and has never come in contact with a mold spore then it will not grow mold. You can put a loaf of bread in a container and never have mold on it. So, I was not wrong.



Properly stored bread can grow mold if it is old.
Incorrect. Properly stored bread will not grow mold if there is no mold.



No it was not - the guy served him a spoiled product. That, in a restaurant, is scene worthy. Catman didn't force any customers out of the store.
HAHA. So if he would have quitely done so, it would have had the same effect?

[Darthphere]

I certainly would have handled it differently, but Catman was justified in his actions. (Just like I think the kid taking a swing at Catman for asking him if they are ****ing stupid would have been justified).

So we agree, AWESOME!

[Immortalfire]

I don't think Catman is wrong but in the matter of common decency, it's not cool to ask anyone if their "****ing stupid". Especially if they're about to get fired. Honestly, I would've kicked his ass.

"Mister, if you don't shut up I'm gonna kick one hundred percent of your ass!" ~ Darthphere

[chaseter]

I agree that the story would have been better if there was a fight at the end.

[StorminNorman]

So we agree, AWESOME!

I honestly thought the first two words of my post were "I agree". :csad:

High Five!

[Darthphere]

The kid totally should have kicked Catman's ass. He was already fired, what else can they do. Catman or Mariah is real ****ing lucky that he didn't leave there with a broken jaw.

[Darthphere]

Also, it should be noted that if the kid that was fired was the cashier, then he was wrongfully terminated on the basis that all burgers at McDonald's are either boxed or wrapped, therefore there was no way he could have known there was mold on the bread. I rest my case.

[StorminNorman]

So any small mistake that occurs in any service industry should result in a firing? You run a tight ship.

Again, not a small mistake. Any action of gross incompetence would result in a firing, yes.

So Catman's actions of cursing and making a scene were justified? He could have yelled BOMB and got everyone out of there as quick as he did. Plus, he was saying curse words at McD's were there were probably kids. What a role model!

Catman wasn't pretending to be a role model, the people's champion or even Batman. He was a 20-something customer...that was served a spoiled product. Was making a scene justified? Absolutely. Could he have handled it better? Probably - but that does not make this situation his fault. The fault lies with the dumbass that served him tainted food. His firing was deserved and justified.

In fact when I drink tonight, I am going to make a toast to Catman for saving Miami-area residents from one useless, incompetent burger employee.

So you think if he was kind and very considerate to the mistake and did not make a scene to cause others to leave, a kid would have been fired?

I don't think Catman had any reason to be overly kind and very considerate. Now if Catman had acted without cursing and informed the others in line that the McDonalds just served him a mold infested burger - would they have still left? Absolutely. I think (or at least hope) that the kid would have been fired no matter Catman's actions because the idiot deserved it.

Sorry, I would rather have mold on my burger than a hair. Having a hair is gross and you are eating someone's biological products.

I want neither. A food service worker overlooking the presence of hair (something small, long, dark and easily overlooked) is more understandable than overlooking a large patch of white/green mold.

Does mold naturally sprout on bread? NO.

Actually Norman, mold naturally grows on bread just like E. coli can grow on spinach and Salmonella sp. can naturally grow on peanuts. If old bread is properly stored and has never come in contact with a mold spore then it will not grow mold. You can put a loaf of bread in a container and never have mold on it. So, I was not wrong.

It is easier for bread to sprout mold than it is for E. coli to show up.

Incorrect. Properly stored bread will not grow mold if there is no mold.

I stand corrected.

HAHA. So if he would have quitely done so, it would have had the same effect?

He had no reason to be quiet, but yes - I believe the act of mold is what turned customers away. Not the act of Catman.

[Immortalfire]

I wonder if Mariah saw this turning into such a debate?

[StorminNorman]

The kid totally should have kicked Catman's ass. He was already fired, what else can they do. Catman or Mariah is real ****ing lucky that he didn't leave there with a broken jaw.

:up:

Also, it should be noted that if the kid that was fired was the cashier, then he was wrongfully terminated on the basis that all burgers at McDonald's are either boxed or wrapped, therefore there was no way he could have known there was mold on the bread. I rest my case.

I think Catman said the manager went into the back to fire the kid, so I don't think it was the cashier.

[StorminNorman]

I wonder if Mariah saw this turning into such a debate?

He should have expected it as soon as someone disagreed with me...about anything.

:ss:

[TheFuture]

Etiquette, manners and class cost nothing Catman. You were right to complain, but you were wrong to be so abusive towards the kid.

[The Guard]

Lord, some of you act like you've never seen bread with mold on it. There are all kinds of mold. Some of it can kill, depending on your health, and some of it is relatively harmless.

I want neither. A food service worker overlooking the presence of hair (something small, long, dark and easily overlooked) is more understandable than overlooking a large patch of white/green mold.

That's interesting. I didn't overlook the small, long dark object when it was in my dark bean burrito. Nor did I overlook the blonde one that was clearly visible in the bean curd.

Frankly, I have yet to see a mistake in food service that isn't, by the management who managed not to teach their crew properly half the time, considered totally inexcusable. That really means nothing to me to hear that anymore. The reality of food service is that things, whether they should or not, are going to happen. A company needs to be prepared to deal with them, and outright firing people for one major mistake (granted, this could have been his nineteenth offense or something) strikes me as kind of ridiculous.

It's been my experience that buns with mold show up fairly often in fast food. Why? Because mold grows naturally on them, and more to the point, it grows quickly.

At most fast food places, the kid might not even have seen the bun. He'd have it upside down putting condiments on it, and it would likely have been handed to him if they were that busy, and if there was that much business.

Which means he grabbed it from someone, flipped it over so that it was upside down in front of him, put the burger together, turned it over and wrapped it, and he may not have seen it.

Could he have seen the mold? Potentially. There could also have been a reason he didn't. A very valid reason. Did he miss it? Sure. Things get overlooked all the time.

Again though, the kid likely got into it on some level with his manager and/or Catman, and this is the reason he was fired.

And Catman, by his own admission, clearly made a scene he didn't need to make. He was immature about the whole thing. I worked at Burger King once, and when someone made a scene like that, they ended up throwing the burger at my district manager who happened to be there, who threw it right back and asked them to leave before they called the police. It was hilarious.

[raybia]

So, he gives me the money back and I storm out of there.

I should probably call some health inspectors to shut that place down. But I'm sure one of the dozen of people who were already there to witness this probably already did.

:mad:

Just be sure before you do anything rash. Just like you, I too thought my burger had mold on it until I found out it was just an old pickle.

The older they are the better they taste actually.

[black_dust]

Well said.

Some of the other things said in this thread are just dumb

[chaseter]

The moral of the story is you should complain, just don't be a diva and don't force a kid to get fired. You ruined his life Catman. His mother was in a wheel chair and he supported her. Now she is dead Catman.

People dying is nothing new. Get over it.

[Metamorpho1977]

So, I go to McDonalds for lunch. When I sit down with my order and open the box the first thing I see on my burger is a BIG green spot on the bread. It's mold! WTF? So, I get pissed off and walk back to the counter to show the guy working at the cash register. I say, "dude, what the [censored]? Have you guys lost your mind? How can you sell something with mold on it?" Of course there was a line of people there and they all left. Even the person who was in the middle of ordering said, "cancel my order" and then left. So, anyway, I say to the guy, "call your manager." He does and the manager comes over. Now, I don't know if the guy was shocked or pretending to be shocked but either way he goes to the back to talk to the kid who puts the order together. It was some stupid high school kid working there for summer. Anyway, so the manager shouts at him and fires him on the spot! And the kid, like an idiot, gets mad. I shout at him, "you just sold me a bread with mold on it. Didn't you think you would get fired for that? Are you stupid or something?" So, then the manager comes back and says he'll give me a refund and a new order for free. I said, "are you crazy? Just give me my money back and that's it. There's no way I'm eating the food here." So, he gives me the money back and I storm out of there.

I should probably call some health inspectors to shut that place down. But I'm sure one of the dozen of people who were already there to witness this probably already did.

:mad:

Congratulations for adding to the unemployment line in America.

[dark_b]

I don't think Catman is wrong but in the matter of common decency, it's not cool to ask anyone if their "****ing stupid". Especially if they're about to get fired. Honestly, I would've kicked his ass.so people dont have teh right to lose it ? you can nto get angry anymore?

maybe it was wrong to scream there but he did it because of the mold. of course mistakes happen. but i have every right to be angry even if it was a mistake.

[Darthphere]

One thing is to be angry, another is to get into someone's face and insult them. Lets not be ridiculous.

[Addendum]

If they don't throw a punch after being insulted, that's a win

[Darthphere]

Yeah, that guy is a *****. I would love to punch Catman on his behalf however.

[Knives122]

*gets out the lurk hole*

Just saw this thread so I'll ask anyway: You eat at McDonalds?

The mold on your sammich would've probably done as much to you as the sammich itself.

[JustABill]

So why is Catman's name Mariah now? o_O

[LiveWire777]

Is the cashier even the person who prepares the food??
I used to work at a Mickey D's and when i was on register i didn't even handle the food till it was wrapped or boxed.

[Catman]

it's not cool to ask anyone if their "****ing stupid". Especially if they're about to get fired. Honestly, I would've kicked his ass.

I find it amusing how you've spent the last 3 pages arguing this even though you clearly didn't pay attention to what I wrote. The ONLY reason I shouted at the kid was cause he got mad that he was getting fired. The kid did something incredibly stupid and gets upset when he's fired? If the kid would have just said, "sorry, boss" and walked away or not said anything at all I wouldn't have said anything at him. But instead he acted like a bigger idiot, so I stepped in.

[Batman713]

So, I go to McDonalds for lunch.

The first thing wrong with this story.

[Immortalfire]

Welcome back Mariah.

[Catman]

Welcome back Mariah.

Where is the jar filled with blue M&M's that I requested?

[Immortalfire]

It's on the way, along with a Blu Ray edition of "Glitter"

[Catman]

It's on the way, along with a Blu Ray edition of "Glitter"

Awesome. I'll give you your tip later.

[Hunter Rider]

Lets have a song then honey!

[Fry's Girl!!]

maybe it was wrong to scream there but he did it because of the mold.

The way I read that amused me greatly.

Also, this whole thread has made me hungry, thanks. :mad:

[LiveWire777]

He was probably getting ready to call the Ronald Rangers for backup.

Because he should be dancing and praising Allah for being fired. You're such a dumbass sometimes.

I hope that kid finds you on the street and kicks your ass.

happy 6 year aniversary

[Majic Walrus]

**** happens, people make mistakes, even in a professional setting.

You probably over reacted.

Sure, I would have taken the burger back to, and I might not have eaten anything from there, but you practically cussed the dude out, and over what? Something he probably just plum missed.

Obviously it's something you bring to their attention, but I really think you over reacted to the whole situation.

That is true. You shouldn't get fired for A mistake ever. Even a big **** up like this, it happens. The issue was resolved Catman got his money back no reason for the kid to get canned... but...

Hopefully his manager had some decency and some common ****ing sense, this is probably not the first time the kid has messed something up. People do make mistakes but hopefully he was given enough direction and time to correct it before they fired him.

I've never seen anyone happy working in fast food. They mostly yell at each other for bein' too slow and look miserable. I wouldn't do it. :(

You know who else are never happy? The homeless.

[Mee]

I feel like, had the cook in question been a cleavage-showing young lady, Catman would have been less upset over his moldy burger. :o

[Drakon]

Or a Disney star.

[Swordmaster]

This.

I also believe this was an overreaction, but only slightly. The kid probably would've still gotten fired though, especially if he's new.

[Sentinel X]

Dude, you're SUCH a diva. Just ask for a refund or get the free meal. No need to make such a scene and get the boy fired.

By the way, NEVER trust fast food. You think thats bad? You don't know half the stuff youre eating already and all the health violations they already have

I find it more a lost opportunity than being disgusting. If he could hit it, we all had a chance.

[Catman]

Because he should be dancing and praising Allah for being fired. You're such a dumbass sometimes.

I never said he should be happy. But he did do something incredibly stupid. If you're back there putting together the sandwich and grab a bread that's full of mold then the logical thing would be to throw it away not give it to the customer. So, while he shouldn't be happy about getting fired he shouldn't be making a scene either.

Come on, Darthphere. Don't be defending an idiot.

What's next? If someone runs a red light and hits you you're not supposed to scream at him cause he broke his neck?

[Hunter Rider]

Come on, Darthphere. Don't be defending an idiot.

What's next? If someone runs a red light and hits you you're not supposed to scream at him cause he broke his neck?

If someone had broken their neck most decent ppl would be a little concerned over that than whether they had to wait for his insurance to cover their damaged car. :huh:

[Sentinel X]

Besides do you really think someone with a broken neck is going to be listening to you yelling at them....I think they'll be a little busy fighting off the grim reaper. :o

[Catman]

If someone had broken their neck most decent ppl would be a little concerned over that than whether they had to wait for his insurance to cover their damaged car. :huh:

Depends on the type of accident. If someone, like I said, ran a red light I would be more concerned about them going back to driving school so they could learn that red light means stop. Not let me run over a car that's passing by and possibly injure or kill them.

So the guy is lying slumped over with his neck ****ed up and you're standing there giving him a gob full in his lug because your Chevy 168x is buggered?

[EdRyder]

This.

I also believe this was an overreaction, but only slightly. The kid probably would've still gotten fired though, especially if he's new.


I dont know if old or new matters at a place like McDonalds. Whats their retention rate anyway?
Managers must be going by the "next dumbass cant be worse than this dumbass" line of thought.

[Catman]

So the guy is lying slumped over with his neck ****ed up and you're standing there giving him a gob full in his lug because your Chevy 168x is buggered?

It all depends on the accident. You can't generalize. For example, when I was in high school I was driving my mom's van since I didn't have a car yet. So, anyway, I was driving through the neighborhoods and heading home when suddenly this woman runs through the stop sign and hits the back of the van. The impact was so hard that the van flipped. Luckily and I mean LUCKILY I wasn't injured. I had some pain, but I wasn't injured injured. You know? Anyway, the woman didn't have a broken neck or anything like that but her injury was slightly worse than mine. She hit the steering wheel with her head, no steat belt, and there was some blood. Not a lot. So, just cause her injury is worse than mine I can't scream at her? She ran through a stop sign, hit the van, it flipped, and gave me one of the biggest scares of my life and I'm not supposed to get mad? I mean, come on, dude.

The ONLY reason I screamed at the kid at McDonald's was cause he made a scene. Had he not made a scene I wouldn't have said anything. Like I said, it all depends.

Darthphere is making it seem like I screamed at the kid just for the heck of it. Which isn't the case at all.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

So what. Catman went up to the register and complained and asked for the manager. He did not ask the manager to fire the guy. For all we know this may have not been this kids first time ****ing up. Also someone did a bad job making use of the first in first out rule for kitchen. That bread should not have even made it to the food prep area with mold on it.

No, Catman did not just "inform" management, which is exactly what should have been done.

He went out of his way to call people names for what happened, which was likely an innocent mistake.

What happened was not excusable. I don't blame Catman for not wanting to get a replacement order there. But the way it was handled was rather rude.

I deal with rude people day in and day out between my 2 jobs, and if somebody would have come into one of my places of business and said the things to me that Catman said, I might be meeting him outside afterwords.

I feel that he handled it rather inappropriately.

[SsM]

Even if it was his fault, if the guy broke his neck I would not be caring about my car.

[Canadian Rider]

It was your burger and you couldn't be bothered so nobody else will be ... They are still in Business with Billions Served ... hmmm fake meat and fillers ... DAMN! now you made me hungry.

I think I will think outside the bun though ... Tacos!

Is meeting him outside appropriate? :wow: :bh:

Perhaps whoever was making his order just didn't care enough ... minimum wage at a McD's is enough to demoralize anyone after a while ...:csad:

[DarknessOfDeath]

Wait did Catman change his name? :(

By the way, I don't like Mcpukes. I will never ever eat there unless its chicken...

[Catman]

Even if it was his fault, if the guy broke his neck I would not be caring about my car.

If someone going 40 MPH runs a red light and hits you the least of your worries is the car. They could have seriously injured you or maybe even worse! So, you definitely have a right to be upset.

Well most ppl would be overly dazed and in a degree of shock, but no, I wouldn't go yelling at some chick or guy with blood running down their face clearly injured. I'd be calling an ambulance and getting us both seen to before calling a lawyer.

The kid was arguing with his manager, it had nothing to do with you any more.

You say that now. In the heat of the moment you'd be upset. Till you've been in an accident where the vehicle flipped over you can't tell me how you'd react because you haven't actually experienced that. You don't know how you'd realistically react. One thing is to say something sitting in front of your computer and another is to actually be in the moment.

The kid was arguing with his manager, it had nothing to do with you any more.

How can it not involve me? I'm the one standing there with expired food. The kid should have atleast had the guts to apologize to me. The cashier and manager don't have to apologize. They didn't give me expired food. He did. But instead he curses out his boss and storms out. So, naturally I screamed at him. If you don't agree with that then whatever. To each his own.

It's true I haven't, but I have seen my Dad get knocked over and when the driver got out to help I didn't go all ape**** on him. You also have switched this from you wigging out over a moldy bit of bread to you being involved in a scaled down car flip from a Michael Bay movie, two quite diverse situations I'd say.

He's copping **** from his boss and argues back then storms out, but you feeling you hadn't done enough getting him sacked, you then decide to verbally abuse him as well, despite his argument not having been with you.

Sadly I have seen and been in accidents and I know how I respond. Calmly and with regard for others not myself.

If someone gave me a moldy burger I can think of many ways I would react ...

But chewing out the kid in the back???

It's not like he stabbed you for watching porn ... Sorry bad example.

Seriously though.

Accidents happen man. It was a burger.

He didn't try to infect you with H1N1 or Aids ... If you overreact to a burger I can't wait to see how you deal with getting fired or having something really traumatic happen ...

wow. Not cool dude. :ghost:

No, you just yelled at the cashier for no reason at all.

And if some ******* like you got me fired, I'd probably cuss out the manager as well, AS WELL as you.

Myself personally, once you act the way you did from the very beginning, **** an apology, you don't deserve it anymore. You're an ass, plain and simple.

Abused? I shouted one sentence at him as he was walking away. You make it sound like I was standing in front of him shouting for 5 minutes.

Catman, why is your name Mariah?

I understand the joke behind switching my user name to Mariah. What I don't understand is why it's still Mariah after its been 24 hours! Aren't the mods done laughing?

If you overreact to a burger I can't wait to see how you deal with getting fired or having something really traumatic happen ...

You can't generalize. Every experience is different. I have been fired, just an FYI but I didn't get mad. I didn't even like the job to begin with. So, you can't just assume I'd be pissed everytime I get fired. It depends.

[C. Lee]

I understand the joke behind switching my user name to Mariah. What I don't understand is why it's still Mariah after its been 24 hours! Aren't the mods done laughing?
Mods can't change names...Admins do....and I thought you had asked for it.

[E-Man]

I think CatMariah had every right to be upset, but I think he could've went about it better. The cashier usually isn't the one that makes the burgers, so he probably never saw it outside of the wrapper. It's usually the cook that makes them and puts them in the wrapper.

At the same time, I don't think he's the spawn of Satan for yelling at the cashier at first. I don't think I'd react that way, but I'm not in that situation though so I can't sit here and say what I would do. Of course Darthphere is right about the yelling part after he got fired. I know the kid was vocally upset with you, but at that point you were just adding unnecessary drama. Sometimes you just gotta walk away from that stuff, or just let them have their say without dispute. He got fired from McDonald's of all places. He could at least blow off some steam before he goes home to some upset parents.


CanadianRider is also right about tacos. Why aren't we worshiping them now? There's only one thing that's more worshipable than tacos, and that's Mike Tyson.

[Hunter Rider]

Abused? I shouted one sentence at him as he was walking away. You make it sound like I was standing in front of him shouting for 5 minutes.

Well you didn't have a chance did ya? he was storming out as you stood their holding your moldy lump of bread and polishing your halo, you could only get one quick insult out. :oldrazz:


I understand the joke behind switching my user name to Mariah. What I don't understand is why it's still Mariah after its been 24 hours! Aren't the mods done laughing?

You never acknowledged it at all and never asked for it changed back, I'd have done it for you last night, I expected you to just say something like "Haha! ok guys you got me. :D" and then I'd have changed it back, but you have never mentioned it so I was wondering if you even cared, want it done now?

[Catman]

No, you just yelled at the cashier for no reason at all.

I never yelled at the cashier. So, you're VERY mis-informed. Yes, I did say to the cashier, "WTF is wrong with you guys?" but I never actually yelled at him. The ONLY person I yelled at was the kid in the back who puts the order together.

Maybe you should be mad at yourself. If you're giving people expired food then it's your fault for getting fired. Not mine.

I actually thought it was Immortalfire behind this. It was him who I messaged about changing it back. :huh::o

Mods can't change names...Admins do....and I thought you had asked for it.

Wait a minute, he didn't ask for it? Isn't that abuse of power then?

Edit: It was you Hunter, I didn't expect that

Working in the places that I do, retail and food service currently, cursing towards the employees (like you did to the cashier) is grounds for YOUR removal from the premsis, no matter what your gripe is.

You had no right to cuss at the cashier.

Maybe you should be mad at yourself. If you're giving people expired food then it's your fault for getting fired. Not mine.

I'm not even mad about the kid getting fired, I'm mad at the piss poor manners and ettequitte you seem to have. It wasn't your place to curse at the cashier, and it wasn't your place to shout at the kid and insult him. If a moldy piece of bread gets you so infuriated that you need to verbally insult somebody, then perhaps you have anger management issues, and need to have that checked out.

If you're giving people expired food then you're a bigger a-hole.

Hey, do me a favor and NEVER make a mistake in your life.

Because, you're obviously perfect and everything.

[Hunter Rider]

Wait a minute, he didn't ask for it? Isn't that abuse of power then?

It's like the ending to the Sixth Sense except I didn't have to sit through a crappy movie to get to it

[Hunter Rider]

No I'm just suprised, I thought Catman had it changed until he asked why it wasn't changed back.

I was just disappointed that he didn't kind of play into it as much as I'd hoped, it lacked the pizazz of when DL changed Lightningstrikes name to DavidHasselHoffslover, or when Drak made Asteroid man Ass Man. :csad:

[Catman]

Want it changed back now?

Yes, thank you. :yay: And sorry for giving Immortalfire all the credit. We have a history, so I thought it was him. :o

You had no right to cuss at the cashier.

Okay. Fine. My bad. But I never yelled at him. Let's just get that straight.

If a moldy piece of bread gets you so infuriated that you need to verbally insult somebody, then perhaps you have anger management issues, and need to have that checked out.

So, I have no right to get upset? Is that what you're saying? Do you normally get upset at customers for YOUR mistakes? Like I said in the beginning of this thread, I could understand if it was a small piece of mold. Hey, it was lunch time after all. These places get packed. But this was a big piece of mold that only a blind man can miss. So, the kid was an a-hole for giving that to me.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Yes, thank you. :yay: And sorry for giving Immortalfire all the credit. We have a history, so I thought it was him. :o

Like I said in the beginning of this thread, I could understand if it was a small piece of mold. Hey, it was lunch time after all. These places get packed. But this was a big piece of mold that only a blind man can miss. So, the kid was an a-hole for giving that to me.

You can get upset just fine.

But you obviously don't know how to control your anger, as "anger" is your entire justification for insulting somebody and cussing them out.

Being "angry" doesn't make it okay to cuss somebody out and call them names.

[Hunter Rider]

Yes, thank you. :yay: And sorry for giving Immortalfire all the credit. We have a history, so I thought it was him. :o



At least you were a good sport about it. :D ;)

[Catman]

Being "angry" doesn't make it okay to cuss somebody out and call them names.

True, but a dumb HS kid who is a big enough a-hole to give customers an in-your-face expired food is a good enough justification.

At least you were a good sport about it. :D ;)

See, I'm not always angry. :cwink:

[Darthphere]

Like I've said, you should have gotten clocked. Too bad you weren't. This the 305 *****, watch your back.

By the way, which McDonald's was it?

[EdRyder]

The more I think about it, that kid getting fired on the spot wasnt enough.Where theres one moldy piece of moldy bread theres a box of moldy bread . Add to that the proximity with all the rest of the perishables and you begin to understand why these **** holes like McDonalds and KFC are always being shut down by health inspectors.
You should call corporate McDonalds.
Get em all fired

[NewYorkSpider]

I'm eating McDonalds food right now. :csad:

[The Original Bamfer]

Wow, Catman, you're as obnoxious in reality as you are on the internet.

[Corpus Luteum]

The manager fired him because all the customers left.

If the customers had not left, the manager would not have fired him.

Yes; Mariah Catman is equally at fault here, along with the manger. Both are hot tempered SOBs with low intelligence just like the employee. :cwink:

[Hobgoblin]

**** happens, people make mistakes, even in a professional setting.

You probably over reacted.

Sure, I would have taken the burger back to, and I might not have eaten anything from there, but you practically cussed the dude out, and over what? Something he probably just plum missed.

Obviously it's something you bring to their attention, but I really think you over reacted to the whole situation.

I work in a similar establishment and sometimes see moldy bread. I always throw it out and get fresh bread. Sure, sometimes customers are whiny and picky but there is never an excuse to give out tainted food. I hate whiny customers but I hate lazy co-workers just as much.

[katie_girl09]

...The ONLY reason I shouted at the kid was cause he got mad that he was getting fired...
...

Did you expect him to be happy that he just got fired? :huh:

[C. Lee]

...

Apparently.

[Jplaya2023]

So, I go to McDonalds for lunch. When I sit down with my order and open the box the first thing I see on my burger is a BIG green spot on the bread. It's mold! WTF? So, I get pissed off and walk back to the counter to show the guy working at the cash register. I say, "dude, what the [censored]? Have you guys lost your mind? How can you sell something with mold on it?" Of course there was a line of people there and they all left. Even the person who was in the middle of ordering said, "cancel my order" and then left. So, anyway, I say to the guy, "call your manager." He does and the manager comes over. Now, I don't know if the guy was shocked or pretending to be shocked but either way he goes to the back to talk to the kid who puts the order together. It was some stupid high school kid working there for summer. Anyway, so the manager shouts at him and fires him on the spot! And the kid, like an idiot, gets mad. I shout at him, "you just sold me a bread with mold on it. Didn't you think you would get fired for that? Are you stupid or something?" So, then the manager comes back and says he'll give me a refund and a new order for free. I said, "are you crazy? Just give me my money back and that's it. There's no way I'm eating the food here." So, he gives me the money back and I storm out of there.

I should probably call some health inspectors to shut that place down. But I'm sure one of the dozen of people who were already there to witness this probably already did.

:mad:


i'm confused you got the cashier fired or the guy who actually made the order?

please clarify

[DarknessOfDeath]

The guy who made the order. Not the cashier.

[Jplaya2023]

duplicate post plz remove

[Tanin]

in his story he said he "showed the guy working at the cash register"

How would he know if the food had mold on it?

I guess you guys missed the entire discussion we had on that subject. The kid made a scene. He cursed out his boss and stormed out of there. That's why I shouted at him. Had he not done that I wouldn't have said anything.

Also, to clarify. That was the only time I actually shouted. I never yelled at the cashier or the manager. Yes, I used profanity, but I never actually yelled. That kid making the orders is who I shouted at and it was one sentence as he was walking out.

You guys have this image of me of screaming the entire time which isn't the case at all. Notice how in the original post I only use the word "shout" once. That's cause I only shouted once.

i'm confused you got the cashier fired or the guy who actually made the order?

please clarify

The kid who makes the orders. Why would the cashier be fired. The cashier doesn't actually make the orders. He just gives it to you. Why would he be fired?

[Jplaya2023]

You said you took at back to the cashier and then he got the manager and the manager talked to the person making the food

Haha, I wouldn't be surprised if you tried to get him fired, too.

Your image of me is kind of insulting.

[Ghostvirus]

If you had been half way through the sandwich then noticed the mold. I would understand your reaction.

But considering that you noticed right off the bat. I am with most people here. If I was the guy that got fired I would have given the manager real reason for firing me. By dragging your ass over the counter & feeding you the moldy bread.

[The Original Bamfer]

There's a huge chance the cook didn't even notice that the bun was moldy. When you're busy (and fast food chains are usually pretty busy) and when you're supposed to be fast (and fast food chains are usually supposed to be fast), you may not notice something so minuscule. I'm pretty damn sure they didn't do it intentionally.

you think someone would noticed it and said f... it?

look i never worked in a place like this so i dont know how this works. but if there is a chance that in every bread there could be mold then they should spend 24 hours looking around the bread.

again the food is not FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are paying money for food. so you deserve food with no mold. i dont f... care if someoen doesnt have time for looking . take time or make MC for free. when its free you can serve **** inside the burger and its everyone's own fault.

[CelticPredator]

Dont know what you said, cuz it was pretty hard to read, but people arent perfect.

Once I went to Red Robin, and I ordered this BBQ sauce burger, and asked for no BBQ sauce. It was easier to write down...

The burger comes...and it has BBC sauce. I hate BBQ sauce. But the thing was, they would have to make an entirly NEW burger to make it work. So I had could've complained, or just tried to take that **** off.

I took it off. Easier to do, causes less off a fuss, and everyone's happy in the end.

The kid who makes the orders. Why would the cashier be fired. The cashier doesn't actually make the orders. He just gives it to you. Why would he be fired?

Why would the cashier be fired? I dunno, you obviously felt it was good enough cause to cuss him out.

And lol @ shouting at the kid as he was -walking out-. You apparently don't even have enough guts to cuss him out to his face, you have to do it as he's leaving.

You better pray that kid is not connected down there, or we might have to wonder why Catman has grave sites at 5 different Miami cemeteries.

Sounded more like two kids made a scene.

That's why I shouted at him.
Maybe you should put an add out promoting that....any boss that wants to fire someone can have you come over and shout obscenities at them as they leave.
Had he not done that I wouldn't have said anything. You are confusing SHOULDN'T HAVE with WOULDN'T HAVE.

As someone who has worked in fast food before if I were that cashier I would have been so super pissed at you.

First you curse at the cashier, who had nothing to do with it. Whether it was angry cursing or not you still cursed. Then the manager fires the cook in the back and now the cashier probably has to do extra work because they are one person short.

All because you had a hissy fit about mold on your burger. :oldrazz:

If I were you, which I am sure you will, I will totally avoid that McDonalds and any fast food joint in the near vicinity because I am sure that the kid who got fired will go to another fast food place, maybe even a restaurant, and I am sure he will remember you. I know I remembered people who gave me **** for absolutely no reason. And this kid will get you back. And I will leave that up to the imagination. :o:oldrazz:

It's incredible. When you hate someone you'd make up any excuse to make them look like a villain. Like I've mentioned before it was a BIG mold spot on the bread. There's no way he missed that. The kid was an a-hole. Plain and simple. There's no reason to defend him. No reason at all. He chose to give customers moldy bread. And as a result got fired. The End.

[AndThePickles]

Sounds like something that could have easily been overlooked by the kid assembling burgers. It also sounds like it's the person who stocks the food's fault, not the cook. Either way, I feel bad that the kid lost his job, especially when it's so hard to find work these days. I would have accepted a refund and left it at that.

Same here. I think that's what most people would do. Everyone makes mistakes - even the person who's eating the burger.

Karma!

[Motown Marvel]

i remember one time i was working at wendy's when some customer came and complained about something stupid, and he was really pissed off. so i went up to the employee who "screwed up" and proceeded to make a big scene yelling at him resulting in me screaming he's fired. the employee left out the back. the customer was satisfied and left. the employee finished his cigarette out back and came back to work. everyone was happy. the hardest part was keeping a straight face the whole time.

[terry78]

^Sometimes you have to do that to satisfy disgruntled patronage.

Though I will side with Catman in the sense that these places are usually staffed by minors who don't really give a **** about the service they provide. The local BK over here often provides buns that are literally hard as rocks when they're supposed to have that....soft..bun-like texture.

[knowsbleed]

I like my buns midway between a semi-hard-as-rock to a soft... bun-like texture. ;)

[The Geek Vault]

I find hair every darn near every single time I go out to eat. One time I found a three foot long hair wrapped around my shrimp scampi at Denny's.
what Denny's do you go to that serves shrimp scampi haha?

[Catman]

Sounds like something that could have easily been overlooked by the kid assembling burgers.

Everyone makes mistakes

You guys change the facts to win an argument. This wasn't a small mold spot that could be overlooked. This was BIG. The kid was a jackass. End of story.

Also, I hope next weekend you guys go to a restaurant and while eating your meal you notice that someone spit on it. And when you come here to talk about it I'll be like, "oh come on. It was a mistake. Maybe they meant to spit on someone elses food."

I will side with Catman in the sense that these places are usually staffed by minors who don't really give a **** about the service they provide.

Thank you, Terry.

You know what the problem is? There's too many upper-class white people here. They're used to the McDonald's with church-going teenagers trying to earn a buck. They don't go to the McDonald's we do.

First of all, it'd be very difficult to notice whether or not someone spat on fast food. And, if they did, that shows clear intent - you can't accidentally spit on someone's burger. But, if I did notice something like that, I'd take it to the counter and ask for a replacement. I might come here and ***** about it, but I certainly wouldn't be rejoicing that I unjustly got someone fired. Because, well, I wouldn't have got them fired. And if I did, it would be because they deserved it. But I wouldn't be happy about it. I don't really take pleasure in others' pain. So... :o

[knowsbleed]

The McDonald's I go to doesn't have a microwave... they use their crotches to heat up the buns. It's on their menu, Crotch Warmed Buns. CWB with cheese.



I need to stop.

[Catman]

that shows clear intent -

And it isn't clear intent that someone gave you a bun with a big mold spot? A fact you refuse to acknowledge. You keep critizing me with the false info that it was a small spot that could be overlooked.

I don't really take pleasure in others' pain.

So, if you're watching the news and find out that a murderer is going to jail you say, "oh, poor guy. It was a mistake. He didn't know the gun was loaded!"

You know what? I should have done that thread. I should have said, "someone I know got killed. I called the cops and the murderer is in prison." Just to see you say, "oh, come on, Catman! People make mistakes. Don't be so harsh!"

And then Darthphere comes over and says, "I hope he kills you too." Then, Hunter Rider comes over and changes my user name to Stool Pigeon. It would have been a fantastic thread.

Its all well and good to feel bad for the kid who lost his Mcjob(because he sucked at his McJob btw)How would you feel if you were the one who served someone a moldy burger? Wouldn't you feel like an ass? I would understand completely if the guy was screaming in my face and calling me everything under the sun.
Demo mentioned he works at a similar spot and encounters moldy bread on occasion. I worked at a fast food spot for seven years in the heart of downtown Chicago, I never encountered any moldy bread.
Thats not normal.
I understand mold happens, mold is normal I get that.
Moldy bread or buns at a restaurant is not normal tho.
Someone was slippin on their game for there to be moldy foodstuffs to begin with.And its extra snooze points for actually serving some moldy food. Again, 32 years old here = Never heard of someone getting served a moldy burger.(And I'm sure we've all heard the horror stories like frozen patty hockey games)
And DP, you're crackin cracker jack.
One minute you're the guy who would be super cool and ask for a refund if you got served a moldy burger.The next minute you're the cashier kickin Cats ass for getting you fired. If these multiple personalities of yours ever meet, one of them is going to jail for kickin the other ones ass.

And yes everyone makes mistakes. Everyone.

If I got moldy bread, I certainly wouldn't throw a hissy fit and cuss out the cashier, get a cook fired, and then shout obsenities at him, and call him stupid, as he's leaving.

I would take the burger to the counter, and say "I can't eat this, the bread is moldy"

They would offer me a refund.

I would accept the refund. It would be brought to the manager's attention, and I'd probably go eat somewhere else.

It's a little something called "maturity". Perhaps you and Catman lack it, thus cussing and shouting is completely justified in your eyes.

But most CIVIL people have levels of decency and maturity and don't react in such spoiled and childish fashions.

[spideyboy_1111]

So, I go to McDonalds for lunch. When I sit down with my order and open the box the first thing I see on my burger is a BIG green spot on the bread. It's mold! WTF? So, I get pissed off and walk back to the counter to show the guy working at the cash register. I say, "dude, what the [censored]? Have you guys lost your mind? How can you sell something with mold on it?" Of course there was a line of people there and they all left. Even the person who was in the middle of ordering said, "cancel my order" and then left. So, anyway, I say to the guy, "call your manager." He does and the manager comes over. Now, I don't know if the guy was shocked or pretending to be shocked but either way he goes to the back to talk to the kid who puts the order together. It was some stupid high school kid working there for summer. Anyway, so the manager shouts at him and fires him on the spot! And the kid, like an idiot, gets mad. I shout at him, "you just sold me a bread with mold on it. Didn't you think you would get fired for that? Are you stupid or something?" So, then the manager comes back and says he'll give me a refund and a new order for free. I said, "are you crazy? Just give me my money back and that's it. There's no way I'm eating the food here." So, he gives me the money back and I storm out of there.

I should probably call some health inspectors to shut that place down. But I'm sure one of the dozen of people who were already there to witness this probably already did.

:mad:

nice, well McDonalds does have a very strict code towards there food believe it or not... they have the best quality control out of any fast food, so doesn't surprise me the kid was fired.

[katie_girl09]

Seriously, Catman. No one is saying that you were wrong to be annoyed at mold on your burger's bun. You just handled it in a very irrational fashion.

[CelticPredator]

Why the hell, if you hate BBQ sauce, would you order the BBQ sauce burger?

Because I wanted a burger with onion straws and pepper jack. So they said for the writing purposes, just order the BBQ sammich - the BBQ sauce. :o

[Mike_D202]

Possible scenerio:

The kid just broke up with his fiance' high school gf who decided the best thing for her is to break up with him before they leave for college. She dumps all of the things he bought for her at his door step early in the morning with a "dear john" letter. First thing that he does when he wakes up and sees all of the things in front of him, is smell her perfume one last time before he breaks down into tears.

He gets in the shower, and gets ready for work. He goes to work, depressed and alone. Putting food together for a minimum wage job that he was just working to pay off that engagement ring he bought for her. At this point, he's color blind with depression. He misses the mold spot on the bun, also blurry visioned with tears.

Catman gets him fired for missing the mold on the bun. The kid goes into a speechless shock when he finds this out, as his boss is screaming at him and fires him. He slumps away, with Catman also shouting at him as if the kid still had dignity left to abolish. The kid goes home, jobless and alone.

Possible near future:

He gets a job at a gas station. Somebody tries to rob him, then his high school stoner pal shows up and accidentally distracts the burgler long enough for the kid to grab the hot coffee he just made and splashes him in the face. The kid gets promoted to manager.

[the_ultimate_evil]

seriously am i the only one who thinks that this is nothing to brag about, yeah you should not have got mold on a bap, but mistakes happen, he should have done his job, if this was one in a series of mistakes then he desreves it, if not then thats bloody harsh.

I don't know if you have ever worked retail or the service industry but if you have you would know the pressure it can put you under. now unless you were campaigning for him to get fired then you did nothing but complain and the firing was up to his manager.

but honestly the fact you kept shouting after he lost his job, i'm surprised the guy didn't go for you, what had he left to lose.

[SsM]

You are not alone...

[The Guard]

Thankfully we had a multitude of cursing to fill the void.
Someone needs to make a "poster" out of this.

what Denny's do you go to that serves shrimp scampi haha?

I don't want to talk about it.

I didn't even a free scampi out of the deal, because we were all laughing so hard we teared up, I dropped the three foot long hair, and then we couldnt' find the damn thing on the floor.

Also, I hope next weekend you guys go to a restaurant and while eating your meal you notice that someone spit on it. And when you come here to talk about it I'll be like, "oh come on. It was a mistake. Maybe they meant to spit on someone elses food."

Are you really comparing naturally occurring mold to someone spitting on a burger?

You know what the problem is? There's too many upper-class white people here. They're used to the McDonald's with church-going teenagers trying to earn a buck. They don't go to the McDonald's we do.

The twenty four hour McDonald's near me is run by people who, at about Midnight, stop answering the drive thru and turn off the lights and pretend not to be there so they don't have to help you. Sometimes you can see them looking out the window, trying to hide from view.

[Darthphere]

Catman, let me make it perfectly clear. All of us are not criticizing you for complaining about moldy bread. We all would, we all would be pissed. Frankly, the fact that the guy got fired is ok with me too. For all we know, he's made mistakes in the past and that was the last straw. What we're criticizing you for specifically at least with me is the fact that the kid was already fired, pissed off and you had to chime in like an ******* asking someone if their ****ing stupid. It's the equivalent of your girlfriend breaking up with you and then having some guy make out with her in your face. He should have kicked your ass, quit bragging and consider yourself lucky.

[Immortalfire]

This is very true.

[terry78]

Point blank, when you work a small penny ante job where you make less than the guy that scrapes the animals off route 9, expect to be chewed out by EVERYONE. Not saying it's right, but that's usually what happens.

[terry78]

I think most people's thoughts are, if the guy actually ate the moldy bread and got ill, Mickey D's would be in even more deep ****, so better to just fire some punk kid than to have a huge ordeal.

[Darthphere]

It's never a good time to shout obscenities and get someone fired at McDonald's.

[EdRyder]

It's never a good time to shout obscenities and get someone fired at McDonald's.

yeah yeah yeah,..Nell already established how Frazier's little brother would've handled the situation.But what is Niles even doing at a McDonalds??!!
Thats completely out of character. :oldrazz:

Look, call me Immature all you like.I'm only being honest when I tell you if it were me :I would have lost my mind and Id have made a scene.The idea that you would have kindly asked for a refund and went about your business is absurd to me.

[Darthphere]

No see, there's nothing kind about it. There's a way of being angry and getting your point across without dropping f-bombs and scaring the kids in the ball pit.

Exactly.

This.

There is never an appropriate time to cuss someone out and call them "f---ing stupid" over a mistake when they just lost their job.

And getting on me because of a minor typo? Well, I guess when you have nothing else to retort to, you have to resort to that type of thing.

[Darthphere]

Yeah, Catman's "I only said something because he got mad" excuse is so lame.

[Hobgoblin]

It's never a good time to shout obscenities and get someone fired at McDonald's.

That about sums it up.

[Darthphere]

And for the record, this is me, Darthphere, saying that so that says a lot.

[Nivek]

I'm sure if anyone found mold on their hamburger bun in an eating establishment, you would flip out. There are time's to flip out, and being served something with noticeable mold, well... speak up.

The fact that the kid behind the counter blew up about it, F that guy. What's next in his employment history, not putting the caps back on to an oil pan at Jiffy Lube?

Sheesh, people are becoming so sensitive to crap, they don't even know when you are supposed to loose your cool. Moldy food, food with long hairs in it, bugs in sight of eating areas... thats what the health department is for.

No, he flipped out about being fired. Which we all would, no matter the reason.

[NewYorkSpider]

I hope Catman told all the kids there "earmuffs" before he went off on the employee.

[Nivek]

I have a friend who worked as a manager at McDonalds for over 5 years. He told me what he seen and had to deal with from the employees he hired in. Given that he told the guy then and there he was fired, that "Moldy Bun" was probably the last straw in a list of problems that guy had. People still stay employed there for stuff that would get people fired anywhere else.

[Wiseman]

I don't disagree, but again, I don't know why this is hard to understand being fired, even when you deserve it, is never fun. Especially when the person firing you *****es you out and you have an ******* asking you if you're ****ing stupid, which I totally don't buy Catman said after he flipped out.

[Ion Kenshin]

As far as I am concerned just about everyone involved in this situation s somewhat at fault except for maybe the poor guy at the register who took the order.

I've had to fire people that make you question "Are you that ****ing stupid?" and it takes all you have to not to start putting fists to skull. I had to fire one slacker Juggalo dumb a$$ who threw an open utility knife at a supervisor, and then had the gall to ask for mercy because his 17 year old Girlfriend just had a baby. I had no pity, neither did my assistant manager after cutting him 5 breaks for other stupid stuff he did. After we had him sign his paperwork and escort him out the door (as he was flipping everyone off "scarface style"), he came back that night and spray painted his ICP- ripoff bands name on the side of the building. Nice footnote and led to him getting arrested and fined for vandalism.

[Darthphere]

Ok?

[Wiseman]

:facepalm

[Darthphere]

To elaborate on my last post, while those are fascinating tales, it further provides fuel for my argument. People don't tend to like being fired, again no matter the reason. Catman was being an *******, plain and simple.

****ing great movie. :hehe:

[Wolfwood]

It would've been awesome if after he got fired, the kid shouted "Come on, Pookie, let's burn this mother****er down! Come on, Pookie! Let's burn it, Pookie! Let's burn this mother****er down! Let's burn it down! Let's burn it!"

[AndThePickles]

You guys change the facts to win an argument. This wasn't a small mold spot that could be overlooked. This was BIG. The kid was a jackass. End of story.
I wasn't making any argument to win or lose, just stating what I would have done in the situation. I don't know what is going on with you and Bamfer, though, so I can only speak for myself.

Also, I hope next weekend you guys go to a restaurant and while eating your meal you notice that someone spit on it. And when you come here to talk about it I'll be like, "oh come on. It was a mistake. Maybe they meant to spit on someone elses food."
It's not like the kid was able to purposely grow mold on the bun in 5 seconds simply in order to give you a moldy bun. That job has to be SO monotonous...I really do think he could have overlooked it. I don't know, though, as I don't know what was going through the kid's head. Either way, I wouldn't go looking to get anyone fired, I'd just inform the manager and get a refund. Also, it sounds like it is the McDonald's over all that must need some work...someone other than the cook is in charge of keeping food stocked, and that clearly is not being done properly.

You know what the problem is? There's too many upper-class white people here. They're used to the McDonald's with church-going teenagers trying to earn a buck. They don't go to the McDonald's we do.

I sure as hell wish I was upper-class. And most of the McDonald's I've been to in my life time have been pretty ******...most of the employees can't even speak English and clearly need their job to survive.
If I got moldy bread, I certainly wouldn't throw a hissy fit and cuss out the cashier, get a cook fired, and then shout obsenities at him, and call him stupid, as he's leaving.

I would take the burger to the counter, and say "I can't eat this, the bread is moldy"

They would offer me a refund.

I would accept the refund. It would be brought to the manager's attention, and I'd probably go eat somewhere else.

These things :up:

[Nivek]

Ok?


Just saying, it's not fun being the supervisor/ manager and having to go a man down because you have to fire someone on the spot, and it's embarrassing when they do something so bad that you have to do it on the floor.

Not saying Catman is an ***hole like you seem to be saying, all I heard out of this story was Catman called the guy out (rightly so, IMO) and got him removed because he could not spot something like moldy bread.

Eh...

[terry78]

Honestly, if you're in a group of people and go to BK and something is messed up, usually people get overdramatic in front of their friends and go nuts and gripe.

[The Guard]

I don't remember every actually screwing up when I worked fast food.

At Burger King, a customer yelled at our front line team once because she thought I put no cheese on her sourdough sandwich. She *****ed and *****ed and *****ed, and finally the cashier made me come out to talk to her, and I asked her to show me the sandwich, and she opened it up, screeching about how we put mayo on the sandwich, which wasn't supposed to be there, and left the cheese off, and I took one look at it, saw the problem, said "That's not mayo, ma'am, that's melted cheese", and walked back into the back.

I remember working retail and hearing everyone ***** about how stupid and inept we were. I think some of us slowly devolved that way due to having to deal with the idiocy of most of our costumers. It's no wonder people stop caring, after a few months of the same bull **** over and over, you just sort of disappear into this shell and tune out the rest of the world.

Sorry, I'm ranting. :o

No, he didn't call him out, he verbally abused a teenager who just got fired and was walking away. Yelled at a kid....walking away....like a *****. If you want to applaud that by all means I get the picture of what type of person you are.

[Catman]

No, he flipped out about being fired. Which we all would, no matter the reason.

It depends, Darthphere. It depends. How many jobs have you had? 1 or 2? Sometimes you get fired and you're actually not pissed. There was this job I once had that I hated. And I got fired and I actually was okay with that. Yeah, it sucked that I wasn't gonna be making money for a while, which is the reason I didn't quit, but I wasn't pissed. I just told my boss, "you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess" and just left. So...it depends. I mean, if I got fired from my current job I would actually be pretty pissed off. So, you know, it depends.

[spideyboy_1111]

u know... i woke up today craving subway... but every time I see this damn thread i start craving McDonalds more and more :(

[katie_girl09]

I just had McDonalds :o.

I've had more than 1 or 2 jobs, so please save yourself the whole I'm more experienced tone. And yes, there are jobs you hate, but there's a reason you don't leave. Because you need those jobs. So yeah, you getting fired in the long term isn't that bad. After a day or two you're glad you got fired. But immediately after? **** no. Nobody likes being fired so spare me that ********.

[The Guard]

I had McDonald's last night. It was terrible. Just terrible.

[Mr. Wooden Alligator]

I haven't had it in a while. I think last week was the first time in a year I'd went to McDonald's, and that was for the delux breakfast.

[Catman]

Nobody likes being fired so spare me that ********.

I never said anyone liked it. I just said that you don't always get mad about it. Disappointed? Definitely. But mad? Not always. Sometimes.
