You are (Hypotetically) working at Mcdonald$ when...

[Bobbety]

I'd eat it in front of his eyes, and collect his tears in a jar.

Because of your avatar I can't help but picture Akuma doing that

 

[HentMas]

Well, not really. You would perform an infraction and it is a legitimate reason for infraction. Hell, telling your boss to go fuck himself is good enough to get fired and a good reason too (Public Indecency).

hehe, i really really hope he haves a microphone hidden somewhere because proving i said that is going to be really hard, and there were mitigating circumstances, the law isn´t absolute, and any Jury would realize that there were forces beyond the "contract" at work here

as i said, easy.

EDIT: I live in México by the way, and i know things will work out in my favor, the laws over here tend to tip over to the workers side, not the company, and it doesn't matter how many regulations the company haves they would lose the moment we got into Jury because there would be like a hundred inspections, regulations and fines they would have to pay, i´m sure they would settle before reaching court.

And then there is that. There are plenty of solutions that end in the starving child eating.

A happy meal costs what? three dollars? Defiantly not worth sacrificing your humanity over.

Precisely. McD's is a company that tries hard to sell its product to children to increase brand loyalty. From sheer word-of-mouth alone over the goodwill, it teaches management to treat kids in this situation very well. Cause that kid'll remember it, and down the road'll say 'Hey, don't douche on McD's, the manager there was really cool.'

Every piece of good word of mouth makes a specific franchise 20,000 dollars over one customer's lifetime, on top of other customers' opinions being favorable to the place.

Yeah, that manager, if properly trained, WILL give the kid a burger.

I live in Sweden, we've got more than good enough authorities for handling shit like that, so I'd just call the police and tell them there is a lost child here and get on with my job. How difficult was that?

Also, I find it funny how people always gotta show that they consider companies "evil" and "greedy" by desperately trying to find an S in their name that can be changed to a $.

Well not hard for you since you live in Sweden. I mean you guys have it way too easy, you have Mojang, and Frictional. You live in Heaven good sir.

Here in Hell these decisions tend to be a little harder. Since the poor kid is either gonna starve, becouse no one fucking else is gonna care for the little bastard, or he is really just waiting for an oportunity to stick a french fry in your eye and get the money out of the register.

By the way, do you guys still have room in there?

 

[Unesh52]

I wouldn't give it to him. People use their kids for scams like that way more often than you would believe. I'm not sure who I would call, but certainly there is some agency that would be interested in the welfare of a homeless child -- and they could verify that he was actually homeless.

 

[Craorach]

I call the police and social services, I do not give him a thing. His meal is never even prepared, since you have to pay to get the food.

 

[AWDMANOUT]

To balance out the bad karma you're getting, I think the way you replaced the "S" in McDonald's with a "$" is both insightful and creative.

Furthermore, I would tell my boss to go screw himself (as Subway is always hiring), sit down and have a meal with the boy, and ask him how he got in this situation and how I could fix it.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

As long as he wasn't about to die, I'd take it away from him.
Sorry to sound heartless, but a job's a job, and trying to find a new one can be difficult.

 

[Dogstile]

Call a supervisor. I'm not about to give out free stuff.

Also, the $? Seriously? Give it a rest, it makes you look like a child.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I buy it for him, if only to balance out the insufferable cynicism in this thread.

 

[Mrselfdestruct]

Akuma has surpassed the need for Mcdonald's. Also I think he'd be more of a KFC guy.

 

[Someone Depressing]

Give him the bloody burger. It's McDonalds; who'd want to work there anyway...?

 

[wulfy42]

I'd take a break and explain to the kid about under the table jobs that he can do (working at a christmas tree lot, construction, putting fliers on cars etc) to make money. It's what I did as a kid and I ate just fine.

No reason to steal or beg for food unless your lazy...no matter how old you are (well old enough to talk at least).

 

[Craorach]

How wonderful it must be never to have been in a situation where any job, any job at all, is better than no job.

Also to have never witnessed the lengths of dishonesty people will go to, in order to get something for nothing. Even when they don't truly need it.

I have seen people who actually would dirty up their kid and send it to guilt a worker into giving them free food.

 

[Woodsey]

Tell your manager, call the police to come pick him up, pay for the meal yourself if you have to.

And what's with the dorrar sign? Its a business, genius.

 

[Jerome9157]

Putting $ in words (Micro$oft, $tarbuck$, McDonald$)

WHY.

Pretty sure even Mc Donalds has at will contracts at this point...which means if your boss wants you gone....your gone. Doesn't even need any infractions. The days of needing infractions to fire someone are long gone. Now if you just don't like someone...fire em. Just don't tell em why. Could be for many reasons that are illegal but it doesn't matter because it's at will. Fire someone and refuse to say why and nothing can be done about it.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

What about dying?

It's a very serious allergy.

 

[MaxwellEdison]

A young kid (4-5 years) walks into the store. He looks homeless and poor. You´re really on the fence with your boss. One more infraction and you´ll get fired. It´s an infraction to give customers free food, obviously. It´s also an infraction to leave your post FOR ANY REASON. The kid goes forward to you and orders a happy meal.

You ready the meal, but when you give it to him, he doesn´t pay. You take it out of his hands and he begins sobbing quietly. Do you give him the happy meal or not?

I'd give him money. I'd then stop working at McDonald's.
