While many fast food restaurants like MacDonald’s are known for staying open 24-7, a TikToker recently reminded everyone in a not-so-subtle way that this isn’t the case with all stores.
The 10-second clip was posted by user @hails.mae. It shows the user ordering food at a local MacDonald’s drive-thru while stopped at the order screen. The user zooms in quickly on her order total, which included four items costing a whopping $61.30. Sen zooms out and asks the employee, “Oh can you add a large fry onto that, please?”
That’s when the McDonald’s worker answers, expressing her annoyance and frustration.
“You know we close in, like, 10 minutes, you f*cking b*tch? Come on,” they say.
The video ends with the user chuckling.
The video has been viewed over 1.3 million times, and many viewers are getting behind the MacDonald’s worker.
“I’m with him,” the top comment, with over 18,000 likes, reads.
“I genuinely feel his pain,” a second empathized.
“Bro said what everyone thought,” a third wrote.
“As a maccas worker i agree,” a fourth concurred.
Many pointed to the closing time as to why the customer was in the wrong.
“ANYONE that goes anywhere before the last 15 mins of closing is in the wrong for me lol,” another said.
Because the TikToker found the worker’s explosive reaction amusing, some suspected they knew each ot, and this was just how they banter.
“I really hope he was one of her friends joking around with her and if not he deserves to be fired. Sometimes this happens & the customer comes first,” one said.
A few similarly criticized the worker. “Should never speak that way to a person. Kindness always,” another said.
“Bruh i had to take an order at starbucks with 30 seconds left and you have to be nice still,” another said.
The “worker. vs customer who arrives just before closing time” has recently been a common theme on TikTok. In July, A Chik-fil-A worker was filmed not allowing customers to come inside to pick up their orders because they arrived after closing. The worker was filmed throwing their food away right in front of them! In the same month, a TikToker accused employees of playing male screaming sound effects as a ploy to drive her out of the restaurant. Many viewers assumed she must have arrived just before they closed, and many took the side of the workers in this case.
