What the heck is the world coming to?!
I go into McDonalds today, order a six piece chicken McNuggets and a small fries. The woman gives me my change and plops the nuggets on the plastic tray then walks back to get my fries.

I grab one of the nuggets and pop it into my mouth and begin chewing furiously.

The woman comes back with my fries and I dump the remaining nuggets onto the tray.

"Five", I mumble around a mouthful of chicken.

She looks at me funny and walks back to the fryer, picks up a nugget with the tongs and drops it on my tray.

"May I have another Hot Mustard sauce please?" I ask, chewing.

She gives me one.

"And some mayonnaise?" They're good for backpacking.

She grabs a handful of packets from under the counter and drops them on the tray.

I go and eat my nuggets, but they aren't enough, so I go back and ask for the nugget deal. I've already bought one, so I should get the next one for 55 cents. They're 2 for 2.22. She tells me I have to order two to get the deal.

"I already ordered one, this is number two" I explain, patiently.

Long story short, she refuses. I ask to talk to the manager who tells me he can't help me.

"Alright then, I would like two more." The manager rings it up, gets the nuggets and puts them on a fresh tray.

"May I have Two more Hot Mustard sauces?"

He ducks under the counter and roots for the right sauce. I grab a nugget and push it into my cheek.

He stands and drops the sauce packets on the tray. I dump the nuggets out and say "eleven".

He counts. I count. Aloud.

He gets another nugget from the back. I eat it at the counter and ask for mayonaisse.

By this time he's mad, and not acting very professionally. He tells me to leave. I ask for a "to go" container and bag.

He gets the bag an dumps my nuggets in, but in the process touches one of them.

"You touched one of them, I don't want that one," I say.

He throws the bag away and comes back with two orders of chicken nuggets in a bag.

"Please leave," He says. There are several other customers watching his minor meltdown.

"Did you spit in this?" I ask, suspiciously. I start digging through the bag.

"We don' speet een da fut heer!" He is turning shades of red.

"I'm missing a nugget, I say. There are eleven here. This time it's true! I only count eleven.

"You already eat one!" He yells at me.

I don't need to be insulted over a single nugget, so I leave, complaining loudly to the other customers. See if they get MY business again.

Seriously though, after we watched that movie, my brother looked at me and said, "I thought that was going to be you one day."

Everytime I see that movie, I root for D-FENS! He is all of us at one time or another in our lives. The difference is we thought about it; he did it!

When I get bad service at fast food places I get very upset.

Just ask 2scoops and Walkindude.

I don't know if that story was true or not, but it was very funny. I am still chuckling.

the only thing I ever eat at mcD's is...
the fillet of (I hesitate to say it) FISH. Is it fish, we;ll never know...and Egg McMuffins. Thats it...cant go wrong with that...those chicken nuggets...there's more nugget than chicken it them...

But good story...I dislike poor service wherever I go, especially at resturants and even more especially at fast food resturants. It seems that they are magnets for the inept, but...McD's is hugely involved in providing jobs and support for those that are in need. I applaude them for that side of thier business.
