Some woman called me 'old' at McDonald's.

[AggieGal]

I ordered a Happy Meal without a child in tow. So it was obvious it was for myself. I did not want the amount of food in the 'adult' combos so I ordered a Happy Meal.

The girl then said "Aren't you a little old for that?" What? I said "No and I expect a toy."

I got my meal, but there was nothing happy about it. :(

[Left Is Write]

1. She was rude.

There are no age restrictions on the purchase of Happy Meals, so she should have just kept her happy mouth shut.

[AggieGal]

5. That's right.

I should have asked for compensation for my distress.

[MissMillie]

9. I don't understand age restrictions on menus

what if I only want to eat a little bit of food? Why am I forced to buy food that I don't want to eat just because I'm not under 10 or 12?

[AggieGal]

13. What if I want something on the senior menu.

Guess I will have say I look good for my age, don't I. No need for ID if I am not ordering an adult beverage. hehe. I should try that. }(

[MissMillie]

14. There's a Senior's Menu?

I've heard of a Senior Citizen's Discount, but not a Senior's Menu.

[AggieGal]

17. Not at McDonalds,

but at other places.

[MissMillie]

28. ok... it's just that I've never seen one

I just think that in a world where portion size has gone bezerk, if there's a smaller portion available, it should be available to all.

[AggieGal]

30. I agree.

[LSK]

2. Aren't you a little old for that?

:hide:

[AggieGal]

6. Quit ducking.

I am trying to hit you with water balloons.

[lizziegrace]

3. I loved your response!!

They have an "All-American" meal that's not shown on the menu. A hamburger or cheeseburger, small fries and a small drink. But no toy. ;)

[AggieGal]

8. I hope it is cheaper without the toy.

[Throwing Stones]

26. The toy is the costliest part of a happy meal

I'm not kidding - there was a tax case in Massachusetts a few years back and when McDonald's showed its cost of a happy meal - I forget the amounts - about half of the total cost was the toy.

[AggieGal]

38. Yea!! Half priced Happy Meals!

Wait, this may not be something to be happy about.

[skygazer]

4. You should have said, "My, what a childish remark"

It's really amazing how rude some people can be.

[AggieGal]

11. That would have been funny.

[RetroLounge]

7. I tell them i appreciate the irony....

:hi:

RL

[AggieGal]

12. hehe

[texas1928]

10. I would have grabbed her by the throat...

And repeatedly hit her in the face, while saying "HOW OLD DOES THAT FEEL?!?"



But that is just me.

[redqueen]

15. aaahaahahahahahah

you're so wrong!

[texas1928]

21. Hey girl...

How you been?


Not seen you around in awhile.

[redqueen]

23. I lost my password.

And can't access the email account that I thought I used here. D'oh.

[AggieGal]

16. It would be fun to resort to violence,

but then I would look like the bad guy. So no-go on that one. :(

[texas1928]

18. Just wait for her to get off work.

Back parking lot. Still works the same.



:D

[AggieGal]

20. Nice and sneaky!

I like it.

[driver8]

31. I would have jammed a 12 piece McNugget meal down her throat...

But that's just me!

[texas1928]

32. To bad it was not KFC...

She could have had a lot of fun with the Spork.

[driver8]

36. Ha Ha -- good one! n/t

[AggieGal]

39. These are funny.

[Katina]

19. did she give you

the senior citizen discount? If not, then you aren't old at all and she's just a rude idiot.

[AggieGal]

22. I should have demanded both!

That would have shown her.

[Matsubara]

24. What shitty service. I buy crappy meals to bring back to my kids now and then.

Who is she to judge who it's for?


Besides, it's not like the menu says it's for kids only. Maybe I like little pokemon pencil sharpeners!

[AggieGal]

25. I like the hot wheel cars.

[Gormy Cuss]

27. So you still haven't told the whole story...

What was the toy?:-)

[AggieGal]

29. This happened 2 years ago

I do not remember. Probably some crappy movie tie-in thing.

[Javaman]

33. First, never go back there, second, don't eat fast food, third don't ever go back there. nt

[AggieGal]

40. I will not be back to that one

it was in Oklahoma.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

34. Complain about it.

I complained about a Burger King a number of years ago, because the restrooms, tables, and floors were dirty, and they were "out" of toys, but were charging the same amount of money for the meal. They sent all kinds of free coupons and a full set of their current line of toys.

[AggieGal]

41. That is a good idea.

[AggieGal]

42. dupe

[elehhhhna]

35. I'd smile and say: Who"s your manager, ya' sassbucket?

[AggieGal]

43. hehe

[elehhhhna]

47. welcome to DU, aggiegal. is that as in A&M?

[AggieGal]

48. Yes, the one and only.

It is my favorite university.

[Susang]

37. I've done secret shopping for McDonald's

That remark would probably fail the location based on the criteria we were supposed to judge them by. If you called their customer service number, I'd bet you'd get a little somethin' somethin' for your trouble. Maybe a complimentary Happy Meal? ;-)

[AggieGal]

44. I think I should do that..

[JVS]

45. Please accept these vouchers for a complimentary BIG ASS FRIES!

[AggieGal]

46. I could sell them on eBay!

[bigwillq]

50. I always wanted to be a secret shopper.

Could you tell me a little bit about your experience?

[Connonym]

49. Definitely complain!

I worked as a Burger King manager once upon a time and we would do anything to keep a customer from being pissed off. It should get you at the very least a free meal and an apology.

Also, a note on children's menus -- McDonald's isn't a children's menu per se so it doesn't apply there but at some restaurants the children's menu prices are actually under priced to lure in families. Sometimes you'll see the caveat "with adult purchase" or something like that. I still think it's ageism but (don't hit me) I also don't think senior discounts are very fair either. I know plenty of "Senior" Boomers who make more money in retirement than I make with two jobs.

Yes, I'm bitter.

[AggieGal]

51. Thanks for the info.

[PVnRT]

52. You're much nicer than me

I'd have turned around and said "How about you shut the fuck up and mind your own goddamn business, twit?"

[AggieGal]

53. I am not brave enough to say that.
