Everything just screams crime about this — both the order itself as well as the fact that they found a way to screw it up anyways, not to mention the fact he had a dude drive an empty box across town for a stupid Internet joke.
I’m just glad Greg decided to tip well over 100% for this stunt, so please be lenient with your judgement.
A man sits down at a cafe and asks the waiter for a coffe without cream and a croissant. He sits and waits, and a little while later the waiter comes back to the table with only the croissant and says “I’m so sorry sir, we’re all out of cream. Can I get you a coffee without milk instead?”
The last time I heard this joke, mistakes in people’s delivery orders were still being blamed on noisy phone lines.
Wow. An old memory just surfaced when I read that… I had a crossed line conversation with someone as a kid. I can’t quite place an age. All four of us got fun out of it but you really had to shout for the crossed line person to hear it at all, but they did. No recollection of the content, only that we all realised and it was funny.
Analogue technology had some foibles.
I feel very, very old remembering that.
the crime here is the 270% delivery fees and tips
$19.81 for a $5.39 item
Most of that is due to the fact that he literally tipped 100%, which is certainly not common nor required.
TBF it doesn’t cost any less time or petrol to deliver just because it’s cheap food
I’m not really bothered by Greg’s actions, but this is also like shining a tiny flashlight on the most miniscule scratch on a huge, sinking ship… or something like that.
Food prices are completely, artificially jacked, drivers are regularly screwed over via compensation, consumers are frequently burned, and somehow McD’s and their ilk are essentially too big for govt to reign in due to the power of lobbying and late stage capitalism in general.
So yeah… old man rants at cloud over here. XD
So, even when everyone is clear that he’s ordering an empty box, they still delivered the wrong box?
Did he get a refund? 😂
Well, I’m actually not sure that there IS a correct box for a triple cheeseburger, only the “premium” branded sandwiches get one (i.e. Big Mac, McCrispy, Quarter Pounder, etc.), so this whole thing was likely a fool’s errand to begin with.
Oh, I’m practically certain it was a fool’s errand haha!
Thanks for sharing, ridiculously funny! 😂🤣
McDonalds is a food crime.
This person doesn’t deserve to have money. Gave free money and advertising to major corporations.
I doubt that providing an example of said major corporation messing up an essentially empty order makes for good advertising, but okay.
