You're buying a sandwich and you get to add a stupid big amount of one ingredient: what do you choose? This one guy demanded extra onions on his burger, and with their manager's permission, this Redditor fired up some delicious malicious compliance!

As a teenage McDonalds employee, this OP got their fair share of irritating customers. Customers can be so demanding, asking for all kinds of special substitutions or additions to their food. Some people want really specific things, like having the burger's bun extra toasted until it's burnt, or paying extra for four extra slices of cheese. This OP didn't hesitate to fulfill this man's extra extra onions request, and their manager even backed them up. The customer wasn't thrilled, but he can't say he didn't get exactly what he asked for. 

Scroll down to check out the whole story, then peruse the comments, where people shared their own love for onions, and their own customer service experiences with weird food requests. Up next, this woman asked if she was being a Disney Karen for her reaction to a cast member's perfectly normal greeting.

    Font - r/r/MaliciousCompliance u/WickedCrypto1 17 hours ago Extra Onions Posted by M OC This happened years ago, I was working at a Mcdonald's on a highway rest stop as a teenager over the summer. I was making the burgers in the back when a belligerent customer came up and ordered a cheesburger with EXTRA ONIONS. He made sure to emphasize I WANT EXTRA ONIONS loudly and repeatedly and banging his fist on the counter because last time he ordered EXTRA ONIONS there wasn't enough onions on it. My ma

    Font - are Cue MC: Standard cheeseburgers supposed to have a little sprinkle of this diced onion mix, I proceed to pile on about a cup of diced onion on top of the burger. To keep it from spilling off the burger I alternated a slice of cheese between 1/2" thick onion layers, so a total 1-1/2" thick layer of diced onion and cheese ended up on this burger along with the other toppings. I microwaved it so the melted cheese fused with the onions to keep it all together as best as possible, wrapped i

It wasn't busy so we sent a staff member to go check on the napkin station that was near the guy to see his reaction as he opened up his onion burger. Sure enough, he unwraps the burger, looks as it inquisitively as onions and cheese spill out the sides, does a little nod and smirk like this was exactly what he was looking for and takes a huge bite o

He tries scraping off some onion onto the wrapper but the cheese and other toppings are coming with it, basically left with a plain hamburger and bun. He tries unsuccessfully to reassemble the burger with less onion and some of the other toppings, but it was a big pile of onion/ketc

    Font - RemoteLemur. 14 hr. ago I worked at BK, they had sliced onions, customer wanted extra, made a point to lean around the barrier and tell me "put them on there like you dont own 'em". I was being kinda silly and stacked those onions about 2" high on his burger, nothing else. Even I though it was a little much and I shouldn't be mean, would have given him another if he said i over did it. turns out you've never seen someone happier eating essentially an sliced onion sandwich with a burger pa

    Font - Phoenix4235 +1. 11 hr. ago My father in law reeeaaaaly likes "cheese sandwiches". What is a cheese sandwich, you ask? Two slices of bread, 1 slice of american cheese, and a half of an onion. He once admitted to me that the bread and single piece of cheese were really an excuse to just eat an onion without being harassed about it by anyone!

The first time he ordered it, he asked me for literally 10x the amount of teriyaki sauce & 10x the amount of peppers that we would usually put on there. He insisted I really load it all on there, I took it as a challenge. I emptied half a bin of peppers on the sandwich & I probably used a half a bottle of sauce & I thought surely this amount of

I'm not a fan of her already, so I give her a ridiculous amount of onions thinking I just taught her a lesson. Get done putting everything on this sandwhich, and this girl looks me dead in the eye and tells me to put the same amount of onions on top. I didn't get to watch her eat it, so I don't know if she actually ate those onions but I

After two attempts with two very overcooked crispy sides of bacon I finally tossed it in the deep fryer until it stopped resembling anything that could be considered remotely edible. Server said he was ecstatic, that it was the first time anybody "made his bacon right" and he became yet another of those customers who would peek in the passthrough win

She picked the whole thing up, took one bite, and the whole thing collapsed onto her tray. She sat there and ate every single one of those pickles though, to give her credit.

I always joked that one day, i was going to give him the entire tomato instead of slices. My boss happened to walk in as i was putting his sandwich with nole tomato in a box. My boss flipped his lid! Customer just laughed.."ok you got me!"

    Font - Joetyyy 14 hr. ago I once had a burger like this man got, but with pickles instead. I didn't demand it, but got lucky with some really bored over night staff and told them to "fu it up with pickles". Every layer of the burger was split up with a layer of pickles, and I've never been happier.

    Font - WickedCrypto1 OP 11 hr. ago If you want more than "extra" but not over the top crazy amount, be very pleasant and ask for something with a measurement for reference, like for example: 3 tablespoons worth, 1/4 cup, size of golf ball, a hand full, 5 times usual amount, etc..... or something like this of an equivalent volume so we're not guessing and get close to what you want.
