My last experience at a McDonald's was . . . well . . my LAST. The girl behind the counter was talking to her colleauge/boyfriend (on the other side of the counter in uniform) when I walked in.

She had such a dark face it looked like I was inflicting punishment by showing up to order food. Though I had been shorted french fries on two previous orders, I decided not to bring the issue up that evening. Nevertheless, I was treated like dirt, and this kid looked like a slob. Shirt untucked, etc.

After I received my food, I said, "You're supposed to make me smile, right?" She feigned a nervous smile and said, "Yeah."

I said, "Well it didn't work. You're shirt's untucked. You're acting like a b*tch. And your manager is going to hear about it."

I took my food and walked out, and as I walked out I heard her say to someone nearby, "Did you hear what he said to me?" If I had the cahunas I would have walked back and said, "I was talking to YOU."

I don't know. Is there a work ethic with kids these days? McDonald's to me has always been a bright spot in the way of good, clean food and fun. Hard work. Just a great company all around. But I've gotta say, it will be a heckuva task for them to come up with personnel who do their name and reputation right.

I'm sure she was quaking. I used to work retail, and you are the type of customer that always made us laugh. Nothing personal, I'm just stating the truth.

Approx. $6/hr. You try it, and let's see the attitude. You get what you pay for.
