    No one gonna talk about that adorable pup sitting next to treats without his nose shoved in them? 10/10 good boy right there.

      I hadn’t noticed that, but you’re right. Like, you can tell that he’s not even bracing himself in anticipation as you sometimes see dogs doing when they’re trying their best to ignore the food — he makes it look effortless. What a good boy

    Love when people spread the love on their last day.

    At an undisclosed time in the past, I worked at a call center for a big, horrible bank. I hated it but didn’t plan on quitting until I got off of a heartbreaking call around 10 in the morning. That call/situation broke me as a person, so I knew I couldn’t work there anymore. My plan was to work until my lunch at 1:00 and then just not come back.

    From 10am to 1pm, anyone who wanted an overdraft or other fee refunded got it; no questions asked. Even if they didn’t ask for it, I was like “oh, I see you have a few overdraft fees from a couple weeks ago. I’ll go ahead and refund those to you as a courtesy”.

    In those 3 hours, I think I refunded close to $1200 in fees for who-knows-how-many people. That’s probably not possible now since even back then they had a primitive “AI”-like system that you had to go through to issue refunds. But it was still in beta then so we still had access to the old system to do them manually. I’m guessing that new tool got pushed to production real quick after my last day.

      You remind me of that scene where Mr incredible works at the insurance office.

      I used to work escalation support for a door and window company, and we had full discretion to give people free shit to keep them happy “within reason”. See, doors and windows are really expensive, and warranties are serious business when you are talking $20k in product, so reputation is important. We were the step below the core product experts with the company, who handled anyone who was talking lawyers.

      I hated that job because, like any call center, they never fired anyone for not doing their job properly/well, so I gave away a lot of free stuff in protest. Like a lot. Examples include:

      • Oh you are a 10 months outside of warranty for the whole house of windows that’s just started failing? No problem, we’ll honor it and send out an inspector to get the full scope, order the replacements, then install them.
      • Oh you are missing a piece, but you mentioned the thing it’s attached to isn’t working that well, so I’ll just send a whole new unit for you, instead, and just charge for the small piece.
      • You’ve just ordered this replacement part that’s outside of warranty, I’ll include some stuff to keep it working well for you.
      • Ok we can’t figure out which specific part it is that you need, so I’m going to send the entire kit.
      • If you only replace this one piece on the door it will be aged differently than the rest, so I’ll send you a whole new set of hardware.

      The only thing you needed to do to get free stuff from me was be nice, and have a need I could fill for free. If you were mean, not just frustrated but mean, to me or my tier 1 agents, I’d get real stubborn real quick. That served as a lovely smokescreen so nobody really caught on to the plethora of goodies I gave away, though I saw my giveaway stats and they were considerably higher than anyone else. But it meant I got great feedback, so they didn’t do anything about it except tell me to cut it back where I could. lol ok sure I’ll get right on that.

      Small thing overall but I got what I could out of it.

      This is the way we should all be at our shitty jobs. Maybe not this extreme unless you know youre quitting, but sprinkle a few refunds in every week, see what you feel comfortable with and/or can get away with.

      Let’s face it those of us in USA aren’t going to general strike or anything any time soon. Least we can do is the little rebellions.

      At work (flight attendant) if someone’s card declines…no it doesn’t. If someone is nice i fake swipe. And i do free upgrades when it makes sense (tall people and passengers-of-size as a priority). It used to be the norm i think, but now we have to be a bit cheeky with it.

      Also please use all of your sick time and vacation time every year, or you are just giving your ceo/owner a bonus.

        As someone who flies frequently due to a mixture of work and living far from family: bless you. You’re a BAMF and I always remember the flight attendants who make the trip dope!

        Flying sucks for everyone but attendants make it suck so much less!

        Now some of the passengers on the other hand…

    I can basically guarantee this is just a regular order of nuggets resting on some boxes. I’ve never worked at a McDonald’s, but I have worked a couple fast food joints when I was in school.

    You would never have that many nuggets ready to order, that would take like three or four fry baskets, and they would go cold before you sold them. That would also be several pounds of nuggets, and that bag would be soaked with grease and bursting at the seams.

      Depends on the location. If they have high volume lunches or dinners they’re likely to have a massive amount. People regularly order 10 piece nuggets and children pretty much only eat nuggets. If you just get 1 family of 4 ordering a 10 piece each that’s already 40. Then you have 6 cars waiting in the drive thru and there’s a line in the lobby.

      That’s a lotta nuggets! I believe this man.

      Edit: I just ordered 60 nuggets😹

        I’ve worked fast food, my kid currently works at McDs. Under no circumstances is there an entire bag worth of chicken nuggets cooked and sitting in the warmer ready to go. Chicken gets cooked to order.

      Oh no, they would never want this:

      • Employee doing something to spite the company

      • Employee having a mind and soul that isn’t 1 million % company loyalty

      • Person getting something free that’s off menu and not based on some larger sob story.

      • Enough nuggets to kill that dog twice

        Nevertheless, that is how advertisement works: Something perceived as positive + brand name (even if the two things are not directly related) = plus value for the brand.

        The fact that this post is widely share right now on different social media is 10000x more valuable for this fast food chain then 20$ of nuggets.
