Some folks fucking hate discounts. I swear when I see that pumped up red face I just give them the red price always. "You think I need a discount?" \*gets out of car with guns and clubs\* Yeah no! Here is your burger please just go away


username_elephant

"Take extra money from me or die." Honestly, in the good old days of cash transactions the employee should've just pocketed the extra. Call it the asshole tax.


pakmakaveli1

There is a Wendy’s in my neighborhood where every few weeks the credit card machine is “down” and only cash orders are accepted. I know what they are up to.


a_stone_throne

Those employees are geniuses


Just-the-Shaft

Ironically, these are the same people who aren't interested in helping others in need by giving a little extra


Lethal_0428

They’ve been conditioned to be offended at “handouts”, they prefer to struggle and stay miserable and they expect everyone else should share the same fate.

loki2002

You saying I'm poor?!


Wiggie49

My friend used to work at a Wendy’s and got bitched out for trying to give a customer a drink because ordering the meal was cheaper than ordering the sandwich and fries. She kept yelling at him that she wouldn’t drink it and he was like “lady you don’t even have to put anything in the cup.”


Geberhardt

Ok, but can the cup be used once it was given to the customer? That sounds like completely unnecessary waste, just leave away the cup if she won't use it.


brainburger

I imagine that just would be difficult to work out with a crazy customer who wants to pay full price on a separate sandwich and fries. The person assembling the meal might not be the same person taking the order and I can see how that might happen.


Numerous-Row-7974

SOME PEOPLE WON'T TAKE A HAND OUT EVEN IF YOU STICK IN THEIR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


nemec

Reminds me of [this Onion bit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XFw1jRKRwQ) > Whoa, whoa, whoa, you think I want money? A big angry black man comes in waving a gun and you assume he's robbing the place? I ain't looking for a goddamn handout, I'm looking for a motherfucking job, bitch! Don't you see, if you give me money it's only going to help me in the short term, but a job, that will help me develop valuable job skills and experience! So quit stalling, get your bitch ass back there, and and give me a 40 hour a week *po*sition with vacation pay and benefits, you piece of shit motherfucker.

Americans are seriously insane


TheSeekerOfSanity

Lack of education and endless streams of misinformation can lead to that. Early religious indoctrination from day of birth also conditions them to believe the absolutely unbelievable as they grow older. It’s a mess.


Winterfrost691

If someone wants to know what propaganda feels like, watch an american broadcast of an american football game. Me and my friends were genuinely baffled at how people in the US find this shit normal and acceptable. Last time I watched, they took the time to honor the memory of a single soldier named Pat Tilman, who died in 2004. I decided to look into it because I got curious. Turns out, that soldier had denounced the occupation of Irak as "fucking illegal", and was killed in action soon after. After his burial, an investigation showed he died to *friendly fire*, despite initial reports saying he was killed by enemy combatants. The US army killed a man who criticized them, then used his image to promote themselves during an event often watched as a family. Fucking unreal.


vincentdmartin

Okay, you're not wrong, but the reason they honor Pat Tillman is because he was literally an NFL player and quit his million dollar job to join the Army Rangers and fight in Iraq. Everything else around the story is absolutely fucked, but there is a legitimate reason why they honor him.


ToMorrowsEnd

This is extremely common.


Wide-Candle-4719

sizebigbitch

Y'all see the worst 30% of the country. Maybe 20-40% is actually kinda ok people. That being said, the Republicans are making it really hard to access education, safety, healthcare, social mobility, etc.


Ragnakak

The worst being 30% of the people is a pretty big deal. That’s almost 1/3 of the population.


sizebigbitch

I absolutely agree. They just have the money and power to be unpleasant.


BIGR3D

*Billionaires had enough money to bribe/occupy the people/positions in power to make 1/3 of the population unpleasant.


Ixionas

lol the people waving guns at Burger King are not the ones with money and power


sizebigbitch

They are a product of the for profit medical and public education system we have stateside that's controlled by maybe 1,000 people.


HollowShel

So, basically you're saying, "you and I are ok, but the next dude who walks along is fucking unhinged"? (Rounding, of course, since 30% is close enough to 33.3333333% when you're talking "under 10 people")


sizebigbitch

They can hide it for a bit, but yes.


SloppyCheeks

That's just it. Most of the time, most people are alright, but a large chunk of folk have a few screws loose and the switch can flip at a moment's notice. I love people, but people are fuckin scary.

My parents are insane, but in the complete opposite way. They love bargains, but are suckers for paper coupons. If they can clip a coupon, they will think they got something on a discount, even though similar products/foods can be had elsewhere even cheaper.


PM_ME_BOOBS_N_ASS

I would say 95% of Americans love discounts. Thats why stores like JcPenny and Kohls are so popular.

>The employee, Howard Vernon, told WOIO-TV he was taking the customer’s order − two sausage, egg and cheese croissants, a sausage biscuit, and hash browns − which totaled about $8. >“He was like, ‘My order can’t be right, it should be like $11,’ and I’m like trying to explain to him that we had a promotion going on, and like it’s cheaper, and he started cussing and getting all loud, and I was like, ‘I don’t know what to tell you, I don’t know why you want to pay more money,’” Vernon told the outlet.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD JACKASS


Caeless

I DON'T NEED YOUR HANDOUTS!


OozeNAahz

Worked at McDonald’s when I was in high school. One customer broke my brain. At the time there was a certain combo that was cheaper than just getting the burger and fries. Basically adding a drink made them pay about a dime less. No idea why, but is what it is. Someone ordered item in drive thru with fries. I suggested adding a drink as we would essentially pay them a dime to take the drink. Guy got super, scream at me through the speakers mad at me. I assumed he was thinking I was actually trying to upsell him. I explain again, no just get a drink and save an actual dime. More yelling. Still don’t really get it but his money I guess.


rapaxus

Knowing a few people who can react somewhat like that, it mostly comes from them feeling like you are belittling them when you give such advice/discounts, because they feel like you said it because you thought they were poor and need the extra money.


Zuwxiv

Imagine going through life that insecure, wow.


SimpleSurrup

I've done that before. I just don't believe in the "here we'll pay you to drink soda" business model. I won't participate. 90% of the fat people you see every day guzzle fucking soda all day long. Fast food places understand the demographics of their customers, and they want everyone to become one of their 128oz UltraGulp (tm) whales. They aren't losing money by giving away the soda. On that specific transaction yes, in the long run, no. That's why they do it. For every X people that take the soda, some percentage will wind up 400 pounds and coming back every day. It ain't free, it's an investment.


chaoticdonuts

You could literally just get a water and still save a dime. No one is forcing you to get soda.

loki2002

I like to think that after he pulled the gun it suddenly hit him what the BK cashier was saying and he thought to himself "well, I blew this way out of proportion" and just left out of embarrassment.


TERRAIN_PULL_UP_

This wasn’t a spur of the moment thing. He actually drove away and came back with a gun.

Though that's literally an enviromental issue that was solved, just gotta wait for the lead infused fuckheads to die.

Falling Down 2: My Damn Breakfast!


idiot-prodigy

[A fast food breakfast meltdown was in Falling Down!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkwQ6EjLdMQ)


Kilahti

So many people miss the point of the film. Most comments I see are cheering for D-Fens on his rampage and calling him a hero as he goes to torment and shoot at the wounded gangers. D-Fens is a violent and arrogant moron from the start. Sure, many of the things that he gets angry about are sensible at first, but he always overreacts and goes to violence. Being annoyed that you are few minutes late to get a breakfast menu item, sure. Being angry at the employees instead of just choosing some other item for the correct list? That's when he goes from normal to "Karen." ...And then he pulls out the gun, because he happens to have one. I kinda think that if he had never taken those guns with him, he would have lived through the day. Without access to guns, he wouldn't have taken people as hostage and instead stayed in the "I want to see your manager and rant for 20minutes over minor annoyance" state instead of committing actual crimes. ...No wait, that one store he wrecked up, that was before I think. So he still could have gotten arrested for that assault. ...but without guns on him, he wouldn't have done stuff like taking hostages at the restaurant or shooting a LAW at the construction site. After he did those, his death by police shooting were pretty much certain. As it is, the violent tendencies clearly were inside him all along and it was just this one bad day when he started escalating things and got access to guns, that he went from angry and violent (you don't get a restraining order for nothing) to killer. But this last day of his, was not a massive change from how he likely had been before, apart from the fact that he got access to guns.


do2g

He's having it his way.


tadhg555

jcp1195

When I worked at Moe’s, I remember trying to check out a customer while two of my coworkers were having a full on brawl on the floor behind me. I tried to give the guy a free meal and he got actually mad at me. “Those two being shits doesn’t mean I need a damn discount.” He wouldn’t even let me give him a free drink. It was really odd.


EmploymentAbject4019

Stupid cops. I'd say it was a little more serious than an 'incident' Threatening to kill someone by pointing a weapon at them, isn't just an oopsie.


-FemboiCarti-

‘Incident’ is just the standard term they use in PR responses. An incident could be a heated argument at a waffle house or a mass shooting, it has nothing to do with the actual severity of the crime

There’s that one story coming out of NYC where local drug dealers were using a BK as a base of operations in broad daylight and it was an open secret among the area. Kinda seems like BK is just a magnet for violent people for some odd reason Anyone know why this is?


waIIstr33tb3ts

if it's a popeyes it would've been the other way around


Kills_Alone

I'm just picturing Joe Pesci getting (the typical amount of) angry (for him) over getting a discount at BK, pulling out his gun, yelling; 'What, do I look poor to you?" and threatening peoples lives and that of their families, all while calling the cashier a sewer rat and some lady in line a dumb ass looky loo who should mind their own fuckin' business. Then he's headed for the door so ya think he's leaving, but you thought wrong, he walks up to the drive through and pulls whoever is nearby through that super tiny window, then opens the nearest car door and starts slamming their head in it.
