McDonald’s is so popular because it’s fast, cheap, and convenient. Inevitably, some people will see some strange things there.
A few brave Reddit users decided to spill the beans about some intense experiences there. Their tales are below so you can gasp too.
10. “I Just Sat There in Shock”
Some people will go through great lengths to keep you from touching their stuff.
“As a kid, I was in Detroit at a McDs and went to walk to my table after ordering. Well the guy in front of me was walking out with his order in front of me. He proceeded to leave the doors and brandished a pistol and point it at a couple kids nearby outside. As I sat down, I kept watching him out the window in disbelief. It seemed he was using it to keep the kids away from getting his food. I had no idea what to do and just sat there in shock.” — Chosen2One3
9. “The Cashier Was Super Flustered”
Seems like a tough day!
“Went pretty late at night with 2 friends but we were picking up for a big group. We ended up ordering about 20 McDoubles and 10 McChickens. The cashier was super flustered because they didn’t have a lot of employees working at the time. The manager stepped in and started cranking out McDoubles at lightning speed. I’ve still never had a McDonald’s order that efficient.” —gogiants1226
8. “This Time I Was Able to Save My Food…”
At least this user’s food was safe.
“Oh god. This also happens to be one of my most embarrassing moments.
One time I went in and ordered a dine-in meal. I took my tray of food over to my table and had to cross a “wet floor” area. I slipped like someone on the movies: completely backward, food flying over my head. The staff was nice enough to comp me a fresh meal.
I start to take THAT tray over to the soda machine, slip AGAIN, though this time I was able to save my food by sort of placing it on the counter as I was slipping
Couldn’t save my pride, though. A woman looked at me trying to pull myself off my ass the second time and said, “Are you OKAY??” with a not very subtle tone of disgust.
I think I was wearing new shoes and the soles were extra slick. But OMG.”
7. “That Was a Good Day…”
At least this one has a happy ending.
“This might not be the story you were looking for, but once in high school on lunch break, me and four friends went to a McDonald’s that was known for being a little sketchy, very inner city. We were all good friends so we would always pool our money so everyone could eat. We could only come up with five bucks between us so everyone got one of those one dollar chicken sandwiches they used to have, and we were not satisfied. Then as we were preparing to leave, a little old lady with a big smile came up to our table and said “you know what I see here? Brotherhood.” Weren’t sure what she meant at first, but then we realized that our group consisted of two white kids, one black, one Asian, and one Indian, which would be something she didn’t see much growing up when she was our age. She was so pleased she gave us another five dollars. We each got another sandwich, that was a good day.”—kitchenmutineer
6. A Man “Asked Why I Talk the Way I Do”
Oh no… just no!
“I have a Speech Impediment.
I was coming back from the Hospital because one of my clients was in there for Surgery. I was hungry so I stopped at the McDonald across the street. After I wait in line and I’m done placing my order the man behind me asked why I talk the way I do. Then he started to give me improvised in the spot Speech Therapy.
The worst part? I don’t even think he was a Speech Pathologist.”—northboundcentreriot
5. “We Stopped… So I Could Puke”
Another wholesome tale!
“I flew from ANC to LAX and tend to get travel sick. We were on our way to Disneyland and drove through Compton for some reason and I knew I was going to be sick so we stopped at a McD’s so I could puke. There was a group of super sweet black ladies in the bathroom who held my hair while I projectile vomited. Wasn’t a crazy experience or anything but definitely the most interesting thing that happened in a McDonald’s.”—CatherineConstance
4. “My Ticket Came Out to be $6.66…”
One Reddit user left with some blessings.
“No joke, my ticket came out to be $6.66 and immediately the cashier was like “May God Bless You…’”—YoKris
3. “Someone Found a Hair…”
This is actually sweet.
“When I was in high school, my friends and I used to go to McDonald’s and order a bunch of large fries, then dump them all together on a tray and go to town. Well, once we were about 3/4 of the way through a Fry Tray (TM) and someone found a hair. So they replaced the entire order with a new one”—DenL4242
2. “My Mom Tried to Get Me Out…”
You’ve got to game the system!
“When I was about 4 or 5 years old the playpen was temporarily closed. I was small enough to fit between the bars and had the whole thing to myself for like 3 minutes while my mom tried to get me out. Was eventually asked to leave. Worth it, though.”—ThatAtheistGirl
1. “Oops! I Got in The Wrong Car!”
McDonald’s is strange indeed.
“My wife and I were coming out of a McDonald’s and walking toward our car. As I approached it my driver’s side opened and an elderly lady climbed out holding 2 iced coffees. My wife and I just stared at her and she said: “oops I got in the wrong car” she then walked to her car 2 spaces away that looked nothing like my car. We busted up laughing at her and might have made her feel bad. It was just so funny.” —clearedasfiled
