I remember a co - worker who was taking drive - through orders. A customer ordered a very complicated meal with lots of special requests. My co - worker tried to repeat the order back but got it all mixed up. He said things like 'You want a burger with no burger?' and 'Fries with extra no - salt?'. The customer was so confused and we were all cracking up in the background.
There was this really funny incident where an employee was supposed to clean the ice cream machine. But instead of using the proper cleaning tools, he used a long spoon to try and scoop out the old ice cream. He ended up getting ice cream all over himself and the floor. It was quite a sight to see him covered in melted ice cream, looking all embarrassed.
Sure. One funny story is about a little kid who thought the Ronald McDonald statue outside was a real person and tried to have a conversation with it. He was asking it all sorts of questions like 'Do you like ice cream too?' and waiting for an answer. Another one is when a customer accidentally ordered a 'McGiraffe' instead of a 'McGriddle' and the cashier just played along and said 'Sorry, we're all out of McGiraffes today!'
There was this one instance at a museum. I was standing near an exhibit, looking at it intently. A family walked up and the mother asked me if I could explain the significance of the piece. I politely said I was just a visitor. But she gave me this look like she thought I was lying. It made me feel so awkward. I guess it's because I was standing still and looking like I was knowledgeable. However, it really put a damper on my day as I then felt self - conscious about just being in the museum.
There was a new employee who was always on his phone during work hours. He would take personal calls and text constantly, completely ignoring his tasks. It was really unprofessional and distracting for the rest of us. We tried to talk to him about it, but he just didn't listen.
There was an incident where a new employee was trying to learn the drive - thru orders. A customer asked for a large Coke with no ice. The new guy got so flustered that he accidentally told the kitchen to make a large ice - cream cone with no Coke. We all had a good laugh about it later, and it became a running joke at the store.
There was an employee working at a Disney store. A little girl came in asking for a very rare and out - of - stock plushie. The employee, instead of just saying no, spent the whole day calling other stores and finally found one. When he presented it to the girl, her face lit up. It was funny because his determination to make the girl happy was so extreme but also heartwarming.
Well, I heard about an employee who was working on the cash register. A customer handed him a really old and crumpled bill. The employee stared at it for a while, then held it up to the light, and finally said, 'Sir, is this some kind of ancient treasure you're trying to pay with?' Everyone in the store burst out laughing.
Sure. There was an employee who always fell asleep during meetings. One day, he was snoring so loudly that the boss had to throw a pen at him to wake him up. It was hilarious.
Once I went to the McDonald's drive - thru. I ordered a Big Mac meal. When I got to the window, the cashier was wearing a really big clown nose and started telling really bad jokes. He said, 'Your Big Mac is so big, it could be a Big Map leading you to the land of deliciousness!' It was so silly but made my day.
One horror story is finding a hair in the burger. It was really disgusting. Just imagine taking a bite and seeing a hair stuck to the patty or bun.
Sure. There was an employee who was in charge of the toy section. During the holiday season, he would dress up as different toys every day. One day he was a giant teddy bear, waddling around the aisle and making kids giggle. It also attracted a lot of customers to the toy section.
