McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

I went to a Mcdonalds tonight, inside a Wal-Mart. I had just finished grocery shopping and was with my friend and her two kids, a sixteen year old girl and an eleven year old boy.
I decided I wanted a BigMac on the way out. I proceded to the register and ordered from a lesbianish looking woman about 35-45 yrs old. I placed my order and paid with my credit card. After paying the woman informed me I wouldnt get my food unless I took my (unlit) cigarette out of my mouth! I honestly thought she was kidding. She was serious and said it was a family restaurant. The people I was with and myself were the only people in there.
After laughing about this she still wouldnt serve me. I decided fine whatever. Told her I wanted my money back. She REFUSED???!!! I told her I wasnt taking the cigarette out of my mouth and demanded a refund, she again refused. I went on a tangent, belittling her for working at McDonalds etc. Then she said I was threatening her. My friends 16 yr old daughter jumped in at this point and said WTF? " no he isnt". I threw my smoke on the counter and left without a refund. She then followed us to our car talking about calling the police. I told her go ahead. At this point my friend Missy and her daughter got into it, I grabbed them and said lets just go. The manager wrote down Missys plate number as we left, saying she was calling police. WTF is goin on here?

DISCUSS PLEASE

Brag: None
Beat: No BigMac, possible police charges
Variance: Strange sense of enjoyment from belittling McDonalds manager..

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

Let them call the police and explain how they wouldn't serve you or give you a refend.

lol

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

pretty sure they can refuse to serve you

but obv. then they have to give you a refund

lol, you should pre-emptively call the police on them for theft

This may have made you feel better at the time, but it was totally counterproductive to what you were trying to accomplish.

They can certainly ask you to put the cigarette away. That said, they were wrong for not refunding your money after you decided you didn't want to eat there anymore, given the rule.

Not if he was trying to accomplish making some fat worthless pos feel bad about their self, which is usually the best move.

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

Since when is possessing tobacco illegal? Whats the difference if I have it in my pocket, mouth, nose or ass. I am the PAYING CUSTOMER. We were the only people in there. Why mess with me? Does she do that to a 60yr old businessman? I doubt it. Just give me my friggin food and shut up.

I don't think the story mentions anything about her being fat. Just says that she was lesbian-looking, although that also makes me imagine her as fat. Probably because of Rosie O'donnell.

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

yes like Rosie but a ginger, even worse. She was like 5'8" 200, so yeah kinda fat

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

I'm pretty sure the correct play is to just look at her with contempt, light up your smoke, blow it in her face, spit on the counter and walk away.

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

The correct play is not walking around with an unlit cig like white trash gosh.

Edit: ask kolo

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

There's a difference between how Farha does it and how 99% of the rest of the world does imo.

And Sammy prolly doesn't do it at McDonalds, since he balls too hard for McDs.

just explaining that it can be pulled off....not saying that OP actually pulls it off.

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

But I am white trash. honest. The McDonalds is on the way out of the store, I was planning on walking out and smoking it. I just5 happened to decide a burger sounded good when I passed the McD's on the way out. This McDonalds is inside a WAL MART. I Think they get lots of white trash in there, maybe even worse than me!

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

The correct play was for lesbian server to spit in your burger after wiping bun on arse.

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

Thats harsh just for having a cigarette dont ya think?

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

Phil,

IMO the correct play is cig behind your ear.

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

Dids,

IMO the correct play is for OP to say "oh, sorry, ok then" and then put away cig, get burger, walk out of store with girl and kids, drive away, not post this pointless thread.

Is it stupid for her to ask, probably. But maybe its just cos im English but id have just complied as its the easiest and fastest option.

The world is [censored] up with weird rules - reminds me of being at the bar in a bowling alley back home a couple years back, where a girl walked to the bar, asked for a coke and they refused to serve her a coke without her having ID proving she was 18.

PM Farha for advice?

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

Children arent allowed in bars, its the law. Possessing tobacco is legal. I'm also not sure when it became something you cant have in public. You have that customer service thing over there in the UK?

OP just letting you know you that you might have a claim against McD's for
a) violation of your civil rights under the 1964 Civil Rights Act,
b) breach of contract, and
c)tortious extortion (this is where the monies is at). However im not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice, ymmv, etc.

overlay: Probly get that hornery pos fired too ldo.

Firstly, a business can set any rule it wants as it has the right to refuse service to you for any reason not deemed illegal - so it can say it wont allow you to openly disply cigs, but it cant say it wont allow you to be black.

For whatever reason, this situation arose and you could have simply dealt with it by complying, putting the cig away and moving on with your life. You chose not to do this and so were refused service point blank.

The customer service thing is not "the customer is always right", its "the customer is right provided he doesnt act like a dick". See earlier post, your just lucky they didnt just serve you a spit burger.

As for them not giving you a refund, im pretty sure thats illegal, but not 100%.

And as for the bar story children are allowed in bars, especially one like this one which is attached to a bowling alley full of families. If the law states a bar cant serve someone under 18 a none alcoholic drink, then this is the first and only time ive seen it in action.

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

Are you serious? I'm white trash, I would love to sue McDonalds! Dont you think cursing and stuff might kinda hurt my cause though?

Id lay a fair amount of money against you having a case for a violation of your civil rights since im 100% sure there would be none smoking signs up and there would be a sign clearly stating management can refuse service under their own discretion etc etc lawyerspeak.

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

They can deny you service maybe but not refuse to refund you for that... get that bitch fired and threaten a lawsuit to the regional miccy Ds = big macs 4 life

also, i think the laws vary depending where you live like kids under 18/21 arent allowed in after a certain hour and if that means coming for a soda, i think bowling alleys are uptight about ID

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

Yeah thats what I thought. The interesting thing is that she told me to put it away AFTER I ordered. Does that make a difference? Any lawyers on here?

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

I think what the guy said about they can deny you service at any time for any reason (unless it is something civil rights like you are a black gay jew) is right so when it happened doesn't matter

pretty sure they can't deny you service but still take your money. I doubt that is some McDs rule, just her making up her own rules.. so maybe she will get fired

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

honestly, its a case of breach of contract but it'd probably go to small claims court, however since its F*ing McDonalds I would totally pursue this, which can easily be done by findingh out the owner of that mcdonald's and speaking to them telling them of your complaint and your plans and just see what happens

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

I dont think taking your money then denying service is legal anywhere. I would think that's called stealing.

Re: McDonalds TR. refused to serve me???!!!
 

No no the correct play when they ask you to remove the unlit cigarette from your mouth is to light it ...
there no more unlit cigarette in your mouth
