should I sue mcdonalds?
 

2 nights ago my wife, new born baby and I went to a McDonalds here in California. (im on vacation), My wife ordered an ice cream in a cup, because she hates cones. When we pulled up to get our food, the guy gave us a cone and I told him "We ordered this in a cup". He throw the cone in the cup upside down. So we drove around and parked and I was going to tell the manager, but the dinning room of McDonalds was closed, so I decided to go through the drive throw again and talk to the manager that way. Well when we pulled up to the window, there were about 5 guys standing behind the manager (the manager was the same guy who through the ice cream in the cup), like they were going to jump through the window and kick my ass. I told him that I ordered an icecream in a cup, not an ice cream cone in a cup, and I was very polite about it and he told me "Well you have to pay for a sundue", and I was like "Thats fine, but I ordered an ice cream in a cup not a ice cream cone" and I handed the ice cream back to him. Then he started going on about me having to buy ANOTHER ice cream, because he wasnt goign to give us what we ordered for free to replace his fuck up, so I asked him for the original ice cream cone in the cup back. He throw it at me, getting ice cream all over me, my 1 month old daughter and my wife. We drove off and as we were driving off some of those guys ran out side like they were wanting a fight. I'v called the Corporate headquaters of McDonalds and they dont seem to helpful. What should I do?

Get the fucker fired ;) Or sue or something.

police report dumbass.

should have been done right then for assault when he "threw" it at you. probably way too late now.

Call head office again and tell them that you wife caught the whole thing on video and if they don't fire the guy and give you free Mc Donalds for life your gonna give the tape to the fox network.

haha

I live in LA and fucking hate mc donalds for the same reason. Fuckers wanted to charge me 10cents per ketchup bag, when I asked for extra. That was the last time that I ate @ McDonalds, must have been 4 years ago now.

bring your five friends after he gets off of work and beat his ass down with a gallon bucket of cheap icecream.... i bet he thinks twice before being a cock smoker again :1orglaugh

and a lifetime supply of pepto - you will need it if you eat there.

This isnt my first bad mcdonalds experience, about 6 months ago I went to mcdonalds, I ate inside, I was in there for 20 minutes, I came out and my car was towed. For NO REASON AT ALL

How about stop being a little bitch. It's over and done with. They're working at McDonald's...let that be your last laugh.

it was prolly the dudes last day so what are ya gonna do about it ay

u my friend are a pussy,
they throw shit on ur daughter and ur wife and u site there?
why didnt u go kick his ass?

if i had a newborn and anyone did that i would knock them out.

hmmm... throwing an object at a person... Sounds like assault to me!


Get a lawyer, and then get the video tape. I duno about suing, maybe get the media involved. Just get those bitches fired.

I knwo it might not be the politaly correct response, but Ihave to agree, that if they hit my wife and/or kids with it, I would have had to break the spring baton out from under the drivers seat and show them a bit of Old School justice...

write a letter to the head office.. They are always so strict about these types of things. They will definitelly reply to you shortly..

Call your local "On Your Side" investigative news team.

I'm thinking about maybe goign through the drive threw tonight with a paintball gun...

i would have just took it and threw it back at him and called him a fucking loser.

On the other hand who the fuck dosent like cones, and couldnt you have just taken the cone out.

wait in the parking lot with a paintball gun and unload on his ass

What part of California you visiting? What city did this incident happen in?

It is never too late to charge someone with assault. My friend was drunk at a burgerking, he basically threw his drink, like a toss, but not quickly at one of the people behind the counter who was being a dick, he got charged with assault! it never went to court, but in your situation it would be a good way to bring attention to the shitty employees there and cause the Owner to fire some ass.

Fresno

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Anyway, xerox, if you have no witnesses and no evidence of that ever having happened, then you've got no case. It's your word and your wife's again the six of them.

Sorry you had to go through that...

paintball gun is the best idea so far, jsut don't do it while in your car

I have icecream all over the side of the car if that counts as evidence =P

Fresno!!?? There's your problem. Everyone there is angry that they are in Fresno.

all this talk of mcdonalds ice cream is making me hungry for one of their brownie sundaes

As has been mentioned earlier, get a lawyer and get him/her to get the security tapes - if one of the security cameras recorded the incident, it doesn't matter how many witnesses there were.

Then tell us where in Fresno and we'll go and give them hell :thumbsup

In a case like that, I would have gone to jail for attempted murder, that would be day! a drive thru guy throwing food at me, I don't care if there are 10 of them , there is going to be some blood flowing in that mutha.. .

I feel sorry for your wife and kid, you should have done something in the spot though.

1st & Nees Ave

Right next door to the Taco Bell ;)

WTF, where was this MC Dicks, in the Bronx?

See if Taco Bell's security system recorded it - I'm sure they won't mind if their next door neighbour gets some bad publicity :thumbsup

Rude workers? Charging for ketchup? Geez...fast food sounds crappy in LA. We don't have those problems. They usually get my order wrong...but I don't mind most of the time cause I get extra free food out of it...and they always throw like 100 more ketchup packets in my bag than I need.

where you from? maybe I should move there..

They do that shit in europe. wtf.

the majority of mcd's have a video camera filming everything in drive thru... the tapes are usually kept for a week. file a police report instead of posting on GFY.

go ahead! as a customer, you have the right to demand.:thumbsup

xerox,

I would persist complaining to the corporate headquarters as well as the owner of the local establishment. You should be able to get some sort of reimbursement or at the very least an apology letter (yay). Large corporations treat PR and quality of service very seriously, they shouldn't be fucking around on ya.

If they persist, here's what ya do (cause its legal, and you wont get in trouble):

Go buy a cheap fish from the local market. Let it sit outside for about a week, then go dump it in their indoor trash or leave it in the bathroom. Do it a few times and they'll regret being asses. (or at least it'll make ya feel better)

Get a news station to do a report on McDonalds
charging 10 cents per ketchup. Thats a real crime.

Oh yea, and go back and break the fuckers jaw,
when he walks out to go home.

I don't think I could have put up with someone throwing shit at my wife and kid. My fuse is way, way too short. The truth is, you probably did the right thing because going to jail or getting beat down won't do you any good but I can't imagine myself not kicking some ass in that situation.

If there's a group of them, hit some with your car. No kidding. If you're being assaulted by a group of pussies who can't fight alone you're justified in doing whatever it takes.

SpaceAce

you can get him fired in a heartbeat.

Uh ok. Next you'll be telling us McDonalds is burning Ronald McDonald statues in your front yard.

You do that and you'll have six witnesses saying you tried to rob them, couldn't get the money and started shooting.

You did the right thing driving off. Last thing you want is to provoke violence around your wife and little one.

Now its time for payback.. I would say go back up there and approach the guy. Or call a lawyer.. maybe you can get paid of this.

:thumbsup I woudl go for this as well

I learned this from a friend..
Take a fish and a wire hanger. Climb under his car and tie the fish on top of his mufler, everytime he drives the heat will cook it up just enough so that it starts to smell. . . And he wont know where its comming from for weeks.

did you expect him to just waste the ice cream cone and fill up a cup with more ice cream? whats the big deal?

but if you want to get back at them, just go to burger king from now on. :2 cents:

Getting someone fired from McDonalds would be a blessing to them I imagine. :1orglaugh

wow! get the fucker fired and i'd sue the store for assault etc. That's just pathetic what that wanker did! personally i don't think i could handle someone doing shit like that when they're supposed to show good customer service.. :ak47: :BangBang:

The McDonalds in Australia isn't that bad. we don't have that sort of thing happen ... a lot of macdonalds stores have cameras at the window. you could look into if they have that.


What i do when i want something specific from maccas (what we call it) is, when ordering, say eg. "I want a McChicken WITHOUT the sauce." and when they repeat the order say "make sure you don't have the sauce on the mcChicken cos the person who want it is allergic to it!" you could probably add in that you'd sue his ass if there's any on it hahaha.
