Sometimes the only way to make a job less miserable is to turn it into a game for yourself, or to have a little bit of harmless fun with customers. That's exactly what one redditor did at their McDonald's job, and the customers loved them for it. Sounds like a win-win for both employee and patron, right? Well, that's not how management saw it. Instead of praising their employee for being such a big hit with customers, the boss demanded that the employee follow the official corporate script to a T. When the employee found a funny typo in the script, they decided to maliciously comply with their boss' request.
“That’s LEGENDARY. I love the idea of McHelping people” said OP.
“And do some McCompliance” added u/jjbugman2468.
“I was literally like ‘You told me to read this! Word for word. And not deviate. I’m just doing what you wanted!’ And she’s like -.- ‘go home’” said OP.
“'But I want to keep working at McDondald's!' is what you should have said after she said to go home, give a toddler's answer for the toddler's spelling." said u/Coolbeanschilly.
“I try to tell my customers all the time... 'I take this job seriously, I don't take MYSELF seriously.'” said u/BetrayerMordred.
“That’s stuff I literally would do.” said OP, “I’d be like ‘howdy doo, welcome to McDonald’s, what can I do for you?’ Lol” said OP.
