“So, I go to McDonald’s since I’m sick and don’t feel like cooking, and order a big mac meal and head home. I get home and to my amazement there’s no burger…on my burger.
Initially I wanted to be upset, as a paying customer, and blame whoever it is that made the sandwich for such a stupid silly mistake.
However, as someone who has worked in the service industry for a long time I couldn’t help but to laugh. It really made me reflect on some of my worst days where I’ve made silly mistakes and had to stand silently while getting screamed at by some angry middle-aged Karen lady about how stupid and uneducated I must be.
I headed back to McDonalds to show them and get a corrected one and we all had a great laugh about it. I was happy to laugh with the staff and wait for a fresh one. We, as humans, all make mistakes and no matter how stupid or silly it may seem, it happens! Not every situation involving simple mistakes needs to be hostile or make the individual feel belittled. We have all forgotten to put the Big mac on the Big mac at some point. Be kind ❤”
