Epic Fail

[Damini]

Been having a shit day. Got a cold, and had bad news, and then had a two and a half hour drive home, so me and the man thought we'd get some McDonalds, because nothing says comfort food like synthetic cheese and hose blasted cow residue.

We went to the drive through, and grabbed two Quarter Pounder with cheese meals, and hurried home to snaffle.

I opened mine up, and the bun was slung half way across the burger, and it all looked rather flat and a bit wrong. As I tried to lift it out the box, I realised the problem was a little more profound than I first suspected. Kenny burst out laughing.

Until he opened his, and discovered his quarter pounder was exactly the same.

So we phoned up Maccy D's, and explained that there had been a bit of a cock up. The woman, rather embarrassed, explained that we weren't the first people to complain. Apparently they have a new trainee, and he's still not quite got the hang of it, and umpteen people had wandered home with retardo burgers.

So you're thinking, just how do you cock up making a burger? What is there to get the hang of? Surely its just a case of bun, burger, cheese, bun?

He'd forgotten to add the bottom bun. Seriously. No bottom bun. Just a melted slab of cheese welding a burger to a box, with a bun lid thrown on top at a jaunty angle.

I had to smile. That's a bloody impressive fail.

So they actually get those stars on their nametags for a reason? Who knew?

 

[gohan]

rofl that is excellent ^^



i bet he did it on purpose and is just gigglying to himself

 

[Edmond]

Then you opened the broom cupboard to find the back of the wall missing and 250 cables nailed to whats left of the plasterwork

 

[Damini]

I like the fact that, without adequate training, you can't be expected to know that a bun goes on the top and the bottom. I hope this revelation only earns you one star though, else it's a sure sign that standards are being dumbed down.

 

[Edmond]

Perhaps its McDonalds enviromentally friendly boxes, your meant to eat them too, thus doing away with the need for a bottom bun

I think its quite genius

Think yourself lucky it wasn't the epic fail I had last monday, when I ate a KFC and got food poisoning. I've eaten roughly 500 calories a day for a week, and am feeling it The saving grace this time was that the 2 days of diarrhoea didn't give me piles.

I emailed Stafford environmental services, and they virtually blamed it on me.

 

[ramathorn]

lol priceless

You're the third person I know to get food poisoning at KFC...

 

[Edmond]

I hate KFC

 

[Belgerath]

Wow that really is epic fail....

I mean who doesnt put the bun at the bottom of a burger? I mean thats god damn impressive to find someone that thick and give him a job!

 

[Scouse]

That's fucking staggering that Dams :eek2:

I'd laugh but my brain hurts at the sheer dumbness!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

By doing that and making you eat cardboard, he is increasing the nutritional content of the meal greatly.

 

[old.user4556]

Hah, awesome thread, cheered me up.

 

[kirennia]

My head hurts.....

 

[00dave]

Sadly it might not be a fail it might just be another case of benefit Britain. The guy probably wants to get fired so he can go on the dole.

For the comedy factor though lets hope there really are people that dumb working at maccy D's gives me an incentive to stop going.

 

[TdC]

oh. my. god.

no seriously. I mean, how do you cock up making a burger indeed. surely that is impossible? I'm even semi-sure that McD uses picture-based instructions too

 

[Scouse]

Stopped eating at McD's about 5 years ago. (Along with almost all fast food outlets). MASSIVE bonus - lost 2 stone really quickly and now never feel like shit after a meal

 

[WPKenny]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: "Burger Fail"

 

[SawTooTH]

Sure you didn't order the diet burger ?

 

[yaruar]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: "Burger Fail"

Maybe it's a new product, the MaccyDemiAtkins

 

[old.Tohtori]

Well, to be honest and look at ALL the possible angles:

If the guy never eat at a MacD.
If the guy never had a poppy making homemade burgers.
If the guy, in general, was now learning how to make a burger.

possible to not know how.

I blame management for lack of quality assurance

How do you NOT check what kind of a burger a NEW guy does?

 

[Scouse]

Soz Toht, but it's not possible to live in England or America, be of working age and NOT know what a burger is supposed to look like...

 

[TdC]

surely it takes about half a minute to explain how to put a burger together? I mean, doesn't McD have something like a production line? bottom, burger, cheese, salad, sauce, top?

it's not hard, even if you've never seen a burger before and are a vegan forest-dwelling self taught monk who went to work at McD because the squirrels told him to.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Soz Toht, but it's not possible to live in England or America, be of working age and NOT know what a burger is supposed to look like...

Yeah i know, it was an extreme possibility.

Still management fault

 

[TdC]

quality control imo. surely they have a speshul monkey to check that the burger is complete in all it's components before it goes in the box?

 

[Mabs]

it must be equal opportunities employment, obviously deaf, stupid, and blind.. cos noone else could miss those huge back lit plastic pictures

ive seen some stupid stuff in my time but this is clearly the winner

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Did you eat the burger?

 

[Nate]

I see you went for the 90 Year Old McBoob Job Meal, all at the top but nasty underneath!

 

[old.Tohtori]

Did you eat the burger?

That's a bloody good question

"Oh my god i can't believe this! What is this sh*t!? GOD how can someone BE this stupid!! *omnomnom* i mean shre*nomnom*iously"
