McDonald's Rage


Other than mocking failed sports teams from time to time (because most of mine failed much earlier in the season), I plan occasionally to post some clips of life from the crazies I deal with in NYC. So, enjoy.

Side note: Is Ronald McDonald the creepiest clown ever? Second creepiest?
------

Have you ever engaged in a four minute debate at a McDonald's about whether "breakfast" is over? Have you ever wanted to but not had the guts to haggle with the cashiers? Well, folks, your hero passed through the West Village area the other day. I'm standing in line, two people behind this guy who is just berating the cashier about how it's 11:02 and they must still have some damn breakfast because breakfast only ended two f**king minutes ago. And so on. Well, they finally dredge up a breakfast burrito for this guy, at which point, he picks up his phone, calls home, and in the sweetest voice, says, "Honey, Daddy got you a breakfast burrito, is that okay?" To which the answer must have been, "No." Because he apologized to her, hung up, and then proceeded to ream the cashiers some more. This goes on for a few more minutes, to the point where they come up with an Egg McMuffin. Guy leaves happy. Guy right in front of me has great timing... goes up to the counter after the first guy leaves, and goes, "Hey, am I too late for breakfast?"

100% chance one of the workers in the back spit in the that guy's Egg McMuffin.

...or added their own "special sauce."

I am the first to admit that Ronald McDonald is pretty scary. I would also say that the clown doll from Poltergeist, and Pennywise from the TV version of Stephen King's "IT" rank up there, too.

Appropriate that Clown Hater would comment on this post :)

This is so funny. I am in the middle of class (new hire training) and had to leave because I was laughing so hard. My participants (accounting word for "student") got a good kick out of it.
