A co-worker went to the drivethru last week, ordered 20 egg mcmuffins to bring for a casual office meeting “treat”. He just put the bag on the counter in the break room. Later, it was determined that he only received 10 of the sandwiches. He went back with his receipt, asked for a refund, and they told him no, he was out of luck. Basically they said it was his problem for not checking the bag they handed him, before driving away. He was going to figure out the owner of the place and call them.
That doesn't have the ring of truth. How was it determined that 10 of the sandwiches were missing? The co-worker simply dumped the bag in the breakroom and walked away. How do we know some other co-workers didn't snag the sandwiches without owning up to taking them?
Also, the co-worker would certainly notice the bag being a bit light if HALF the sandwiches were missing. How gullible do you think we are? The store is right in denying the refund and I hope the owner does not buckle under on this.
It really is wrong to think that McDonalds would take an order for 20 Egg McMuffins and only deliver ten. That just doesn't happen. I think your co-worker is telling tall tales.
