Is it a power trip ego thing? Do people feel better about themselves after putting down service industry especially fast food workers?
What do you think?
In her own words, “McDonalds never have my motherfucking fresh cookies! I gotta call every time for my fucking fresh cookies.” ETA: “… why I gotta call every time? This shit is rediculous!”

Ha that did make me laugh a little bit I just don’t see why individual workers have to be abused.
I’m not actually going to defend her, but it appears that she was pissed about their customer service.

I worked behind a counter for almost a decade, and there is a subset of people, very small, who will be complete assholes every time they come in because they know they can, I think because they enjoy that sense of power.
So the obnoxious woman in the video is somehow under the impression that the entire world gives a rat’s ass whether she has to wait two minutes for some McDonald’s cookies? That’s a, dare I say it, Trumpian level of self-absorption, right there. TWO WHOLE MINUTES!
It’s either a deliberate assholish power trip, or an ignorant, perspectiveless frustration. Neither is a good look.
I’m going to speculate that the person working the drive-through window doesn’t set a lot of corporate policy.
If you’re upset about customer service or any other issue involving the management of a business, write a letter to the person who owns the company. Don’t take it out on the person who’s working in front of you.
Who was recording that video, and why?
I believe the person at the drive-through window was the manager, not that it justifies that kind of reaction.
I’m fairly confident that she was recording herself to make a post on Facebook, and holding up the camera with her right arm.

Yes, that’s how I saw it too.
That’s what it looked like, but why was she documenting and publicizing her own obnoxiousness?
You haven’t been on social media much lately, have you?
Looks antisocial to me.
I’m not gonna watch the video. But were there commercials? If so, that’s why.
Does McDonald’s bake fresh cookies now? When I worked there 357 years ago, they came in a little box like animal crackers. God knows how old they were.
One of the absolute joys of much of my employment history was working for a family owned business that had zero tolerance for this kind of grandstanding and then my own business for the last 15 years.
This flavor of problem customer was met with an invitation to go elsewhere, zero fucks given.
you would probably be shocked how many uber eats orders are for a pack of their fresh baked cookies.
I apologized yesterday for snapping at a service worker. My Walgreens has everything locked down so I had to press the stupid buttons three times to get them to unlock items (including Tylenol!) and then I spotted a sale on some tasty beer. Grabbed all my stuff and then I’m trying to enter my damn phone number for the ‘discount’, it’s hot and I’m tired of wearing the damn mask and then I get asked for ID!!!
It was immature for me to snap and I apologised. Rot in hell, manager, who implemented ID everyone bullshit
I was running the concessions stand at a movie theater when a customer was growling something rude at one of my employees. I glanced over from my register and said, “There is no call for that.” which elicited an angry response from the customer of “You need to hire better workers!”
At that moment, the manager of the theater stepped out of the ticket booth and interrupted us both by saying, “I AM hiring, sir.” Then he reached into the booth and grabbed a pad of applications from the peg on the wall, ripped off the top sheet and held it out to the guy, “Fill this out and bring it back; I’ll give you her job.”
“I don’t want–”
“Afraid you’ll get the same treatment as her?” My manager asked.
The guy grabbed his drink and popcorn and quietly headed back to the movie. Our manager waited until the sound from the movie couldn’t be heard, then looked at me and my employee and said, “Be nice to him if he comes back out.”

The kid in the vid should buy a $20 toaster-oven. Pre-made Nestle’s cookie dough is available at any grocery store. Then she can have it fresh and on-demand.

Kudos, Dalej42, for being self-aware enough to slow down and apologize.
–G!
