The last time I went to a McDonalds was about 2 months ago, yes I like their McGriddle breakfast sandwiches every once and a while.

Because of COVID-19 it was drive through only and the line was long. When I finally got to order and then pulled up to the 2nd window, I was asked to pull into a numbered parking spot and told someone would bring my order to me. And I waited and waited, and waited, in total about 15 minutes in addition to the 10 minutes in the line just to order.

But when I finally got it, my order wasn’t correct, missing the side order of hash browns and an iced caramel latte instead of a hot one.

Did I have a nervous breakdown? Did I cry or record myself and post my “horrific” and “traumatic” experience on social media? No. I told the very polite young black man who brought my food out to me about my order not being correct, showed him my receipt, he apologized profusely, explained how short staffed they were, people calling out sick using COVID as in his words “a damn excuse for not wanting to work” and a lot of newly hired folks who didn’t know what they were doing, and while I had to wait a bit longer, he made it right and gave me a coupon for a free sandwich.

There is no evidence that her wait had anything to do with her being a cop. No evidence that her meal was tampered with. Her only real complaint is slow and or bad service which can happen to anyone.

I also would point out that she says she ordered in the mobile app in advance but then complains because she couldn’t see them make her meal. Says that she doesn’t want to go inside because too often other people pay for her meal because she’s a cop and she likes to pay for herself, yet complains that she isn’t getting enough thank you’s for being a cop.

If this woman is having a nervous breakdown, crying and anxious over an Egg McMuffin, she shouldn’t be a cop, nor should she be carrying a gun.
