That's kind of like going up to a display that says "free sample - one per customer" and taking several samples. And doing so on a first date, like: this is who I am. It's not really bad or anything, it's just... kind of weird and embarassing.
- It is overtly bad. It's making someone's shitty job worse because you think you're better and so smart for beating the system. Garbage people.
  
  Is there anything that really makes their job shittier about this though? Than than dealing with three orders instead of one?
  If anything with the focus these days on metrics around how fast they can serve customers these three simple orders probably made their metrics look better so they could slack off on the next few orders.
  But yeah just says "I'm a cheapskate."
  
  When I worked in a restaurant I wouldn't have cared because I got paid hourly, like a McDonald's employee. The customer is still making a habit out of McDonald's so maybe this is what corporate wants.
  
  I'd say, potentially yes.
  I say that, because 1, is been over 2 decades since I worked a McDonald's, so things could have changed. And 2, it depends on the time of day. And secret third option, depends on the customer.
  So generally speaking a certain amount of food will be cooked before hand and kept in a warmer for only so many minutes (ideally). So it is possible that there wasn't enough chicken nuggets ready to go and they just had to be counted out. If that's the case the person just needed to make more chicken nuggets.
  However, even back when I worked there you had a plethora of customers who would demand fresh stuff and I know it's only gotten more popular to do (don't do that). So if this individual demanded that they be freshly made and it was done during the rush... Then yes absolutely this could have made somebody's day worse.
  
  Fresh McDonalds!? 😂
  But seriously... who demands McDonalds to be fresh? It's literally fast food.
  
  Fresh in they want it cooked "fresh". People do it all the time because they are under the idea that the food just sits until sold, and it's some life hack to demand it be made fresh. People do it with fries all the time, or they'll demand "no salt" (forcing someone to make it fresh) and then once getting the food, ask for a shit ton of salt packets (the salt will not stick to the fries at this point). For sure, not all McD's hold themselves to the corporate standards, but I'd say a fair number do.
  Its especially silly to ask for it to be "made fresh" during rush, since they're likely cycling through everything in minutes.
  
  I'd have a hard time not laughing at customers if I worked in fast food I feel. But I am also good at bullshitting so who knows?
  
  It also says "I'm a cheater." Red flag.
  
  Green flag. Drag doesn't date people who pay for meat or movies. Drag expects potential romantic partners to be pirates who are either vegan or meat thieves. In a neoliberal capitalist world, the biggest act of rebellion against the unfair conditions of production is not to pay.
  
  drag has good taste!
  
  Also, drag would very much like to be told how to use Android emulators to scam McDonald's out of chicken nuggies. Drag is finding it difficult to fit fake meat into drag's budget, but drag still wants chicken. Drag has a bottle of tonkatsu sauce that turns fried chicken into Japanese style katsu chicken.
  
  Depends on the context. If they start out with a speech about revenge, use it as a demonstration of their work, or make it a goofy play on 90s hacking, it could be fun for the right person at the right time.
  But if they went into it saying “I’m such a little tendieslut. God, I can’t wait to steal some chicken. My neighbor blew me behind there point* when it was still a Wendy’s, and that was confusing because she was just supposed to drive me to my mom’s place so I could get ready for junior league” then their audience shrinks considerably further.
  
  Ever worked food or retail? I mean yeah the guy's a dipshit, but you aren't considering factors that make several workers' day worse.
  
  Like what
  
  You need to make 40 trays of samples an hour. Here goes some dipshit thinking he's hurting the system by popping a bunch in his fat ass mouth. Now you gotta make more trays. Holy shit this post is really showing me that Lemmy might be a bunch of teenagers in a trench coat.
  
  They're asking about the McDonald's example. Obviously taking a bunch of free samples means they have to make more samples. If you're working at McDonald's, you're either making food for 8 hours or selling stuff for 8 hours, you're never going to finish serving or making food.
  
  Why am I not getting through to you people who have no experience in food service? Yeah you are going to finish making or selling food. People/Orders come in rushes. Once the rush dies down you can prep for the next rush. Once that is done you can take a fucking break. The people who work at McDonald's aren't robots. Think for a goddamn second. Ever take a moment of a break at your job? They deserve that too.
  
  That's a bit like saying "Don't be a dick, don't order food at McDonalds, the employees can't take a break if you order. And definitely no big orders." If the employees can't take a break, it's the employer's fault, not the customer's.
  
  But you see, that's the whole thing about "omg retail workers have it so hard" people. The only way to satisfy them is to never shop again. Retail is hard because customers exist. Otherwise it would be "do nothing, get paid". And these people don't actually give a shit if a business can survive on them doing nothing, because they're more focused on getting rid of those pesky customers that make their life oh so hard.
  Yeah, retail is annoying. You know what else is annoying? Transporting garbage from location A to location B. Searching for 3 days in your own code to find a bug that's making you look like a dipshit to your boss and team. Roofing in the summer. Dealing with having lost your clients millions of dollars because stock X plummeted and you didn't foresee it. Being on an oil rig in the Atlantic for 9 months a year. Cleaning a hoarder's apartment. Getting shot at in Ukraine. Masturbating prize horses for the $emen. Looking all day at people's ugly stinky feet. They're all called jobs and people do them because they are literally a fucking part of our daily lives and the way we function and have a productive society. You're free to fuck off and farm wheat if you only wanna eat bread for the rest of your life, and you don't have to interact with anyone. For the rest of people who have evolved past a trade-based society, real life is that way (☞ಠ_ಠ )☞
  But no, tell me again what a bad day you've had cause Timmy took 12 free samples. Jesus fucking christ, the balls on some cunts.
  
  yea, agree, this is a weird line of thought. I think if anything cheating a corpo is a green flag
  
  I worked at McDs.
  There are no breaks between rushes. There are bathrooms to clean. Dining room to clean. Kitchen floors to sweep. Etc etc.
  So, another 30 hugs out the door? I would give zero shits about.
  
  I also worked at McDonald's and can attest. If anything, the orders of chicken nuggets were easiest to fulfill and boosted our metrics. I also liked to give people an extra nugget in every box.
  
  I just wanna take a moment to point out the tone in my comment vs the tone in your comments. Maybe yelling at everyone to "think for a goddamn second" while you're making claims without backing anything up is why you're not getting through.
  
  I worked at a couple different pizza/sub/wing shops when I was younger, I get that the rush sucks fat cocks but it's not the customers ordering food that makes it bad. It was the cheapskate dickweed owner Larry who understaffed the place so badly that you need to handle online orders, phone orders, and fold those pizza boxes simultaneously to keep up. Businesses just need to hire more people, customers don't need to stop ordering food.
  
  Closest to this I've worked was a convenience store which included a deli.
  In that context the way I would have seen it was that he probably would have come in and bought them anyways, so the only difference to me would be sticking them in three bags vs one. No different than anyone else asking to cut their pizza a different way or whatever other minor out of the ordinary changes customers wanted.
  If we were swamped with orders then yeah I wouldn't be happy about it, but you get over it and move on that is part of working retail.
  
  Oh poor McDonald's will never recover from this. Now they'll have to treat staff a bit worse to clutch back part of the losses.
