Banned From Mickey Dees!

[W3WN]

Well, I managed on Friday afternoon to get myself banned from the Airport McDonalds. Over a dime.

Had to grab a quick something, they didn't have a line (Chick Fil A did... their chicken sandwiches ARE better), so I went and ordered a Crispy Chicken Sandwich. (If only they were actually crispy! But I digress again). Total with sales tax came to $4.16. Highway robbery, I know...

So I hand the cashier a five, a quarter, and a penny. That's $5.26.

Cashier slaps a dollar bill on the counter for change. I say, "isn't that short a dime?" "No, it isn't, your change is a buck!"

Yup. Another high school graduate who can't do 3rd grade arithmetic. (The register? She was impatient, only put in that I gave her a five, so clearly I confused her)

We argued for a minute. I kept calm... she kept raising her voice and getting agitated. She INSISTED that the $.84 the register said I was owed, plus the $.26 I gave her, came out to $1.

Finally a manager came over to unlock the register and give me the dime. Does the schmuck say a word? Nothing. Just gives me the stink eye. Meanwhile, the cashier has escalated her temper tantrum... finally says to me "why did you give me 26 cents?!?!" I calmly replied "so that you wouldn't have to count out 84 cents in change, change your sign says you're short of. But don't worry, I won't make THAT mistake again." Her reply: "You better not!" Clearly, sarcasm is lost on her as well.

Cashier storms away, and as the manager hands me the dime, quietly mutters "don't come back."

Bottom line: I got banned from McDonalds, because I tried to save the store a little change, and the cashier can't add or subtract to save her life.

And the "crispy" sandwich was anything but... another victim of 20+ minutes under the heat lamp. Wonder why they weren't busy?

Oh well, could be worse. The entire staff for Breeze Airways got banned from the MexAmerican place, Steel Cactus... because the cashier picked a fight with one of the agents (who is one of Little Miss Field Day's BFF's) and told the agent to never come back. When the (then) GM for PIT Breeze talked with the manager for Steel Cactus, he was told that she didn't want to hear it, and by the way, the entire staff was welcome to stay away. Nice.

Don't feel bad, my inebriated boss managed to get myself, and another engineer banned from the best steak house in Saltio, Mx...it involved excessive alcohol consumption, not major public displays of aggression like thou😄😄

AITA? I see these in reddits all the time.
There's some shit floating through the air that causes people to hear you say anything but, what you actually said. Often, they are just looking for an excuse. An excuse to what you ask? An excuse to validate their current state of mind, mood, etc.

Oh, I’m quite familiar with the AITA forums on Reddit. May just have to post this one.

Don’t know what her problem is/was. Don’t care. I just don’t like being ripped off, especially by the future Karen’s of the world.

I hear you, Ron. She probably saw you, formed an instant opinion, then lost her shit when you pointed out her faux pas.

People suck.

People suck.

Maybe, but she wasn’t that good looking. A little makeup, a few pimples popped, a clean shirt... nah, can’t put lipstick on a [ trayfe farm animal ].

Pig Ron, can't put lipstick on a Pig.. Well you can but it wont be easy

Or accomplish the goal.

Full service automation in the fast-food industry will end these problems.

And the staff have only themselves to blame when it happens.
