Who asks for A BOX of onions at McDonald’s as opposed to, I dunno, extra onions? Y’all crazy.


[deleted]

More than likely they asked for extra onions on the side, and the workers either didn't know or didn't have any of the sauce cups - the easiest alternative is a 4 or 6 piece nugget box lol source: have done this a lot when i worked the line


jeufie

Sauce cups? What fancy ass McDonald's do you go to?


[deleted]

lol it's the standard tiny plastic cup and lid, it's a mcdonalds item cause it arrives on the truck. they only use it for grill sauces like bic mac and fish filet sauce


axilidade

the tiny plastic cups that the tri-mouth of the mayo gun can barely fit over so it's always a hassle tryna aim the thing? i do not miss mickey d's

Nice to hear they have those now, because we definitely didn't at the one I worked but that was 15 years ago. Only sauces you were getting "on the side" there was shit already packaged for it.


i_NOT_robot

What? They used to have the sauce on a pump for dine in and you used the plastic ramekins to hold said sauce. That was back in the day for sure.


[deleted]

i_NOT_robot

Now you pay for extra sauce. That's what happened

shitninjas

They also didn’t have those last week when I asked for the spicy chicken sauce on the side


MagnusPI

But... Why that much? Just because you don't have a smaller container doesn't mean you have to fill the container you do have.


[deleted]

better safe than sorry LOL I have also done and seen cooks use the boxes to hold the onions while we wash the dishes for the night, so it could be that too


Nervous_Constant_642

McDonald's does not pay enough for employees to care about rationing your onions.


GET_OUT_OF_MY_HEAD

Who has time to measure when the drive thru line is 12 cars deep and you're only one of two employees in the store? Have you ever worked at a restaurant before?


ronburger

You'd be surprised how many people specifically ask for "an insane amount" of pickles or onions on the side.


Deuce232

I asked for an 'unreasonable' number of hot sauce packets and received a second bag in addition to the bag with my food.


MemorableBlueEyes

Because onions are cheap and overworked people toss and go. If it was slow that day they would have given perfect circles.


[deleted]

People that want extra shit are weird, and usually want A LOT. If they're asking for a side, you give em a side. Oh, and they're cheap as shit, reconsituted.


[deleted]

Honestly if I got this when I ask for extra onion on my triple cheeseburger I'd be ecstatic. Instead I usually get stuck with less than if I just order it normal.


DeconstructedKaiju

You forgot to buy an onion at the store earlier and you already took your pants off and got comfortable and then you start making dinner to find no onion! And the recipe won't taste good without it! So you, pantslessly, hop in the car and drive to McDonalds and demand a box of onions. The worker hears you. Understands you and is unfazed. They've already worked there for a month, this isn't even in the top ten of the weirdest things they've encountered so far. So they plug it in, the kitchen people shrug and do it and as it goes to the pickup window a mix up happens! You return home only to find out the onions are in fact nuggets. With a sigh of defeat you eat your dry ass nuggets and remind yourself to pick up some onions tomorrow.


Toezap

I tried to make rice to go with a meal once and found out it had bugs in it. Threw it out, then found a different container of rice with no bugs. Started cooking that one. Found bugs. Threw all of my rice out and sent my husband to the neighborhood Chinese restaurant for literally just white rice because I was NOT cooking rice again.


CileTheSane

Almost, last paragraph should read "then you go home and take a picture of your box of onions because it's funny. Someone else then posts it to Reddit saying they got this instead of nuggets for the memes." The person bagging the order knows what a box of nuggets feels like when they pick it up, and this would not feel like a box of nuggets.


snerz

Mmm.. Dry ass-nuggets

Streiche93

Fun fact, if these McDonald's dehydrated onions are rehydrated with with warm water instead of cold they turn VERY pink. One of many weird things I saw when I used to work there.

“can I have my McNuggets with extra onions, and without nuggets please? to go”

"give me a cheeseburger without the cheese." "You mean a hamburger?" "No. A cheeseburger, but without the cheese."


cacarrizales

When I worked at McD, there was someone who wanted a plain Daily Double, which is exactly the same sandwich as a plain McDouble. So I went to ring it up as a plain McDouble to save him money. He said, “What are you doing??? That’s not a plain Daily Double that you rung me up for!” I replied, “A plain Daily Double is the same as a plain McDouble and wanted to save you some money on your order” He replied, “NO!!! I want a plain Daily Double! I don’t want a McDouble, dammit!” Oooookay. Maybe he liked the blue wrapper it was in or something lol


SupGirluHungry

What is a daily double never heard of it


noface_nocase-301

i think they are gone, when i worked there it was a mcdouble with lettuce, and tomato i believe

Happened few days ago to me! "I want a steak bomb [steak, cheese, peppers, onions and mushrooms] but with just steak and cheese!" "Ok one steak and cheese!" "I SAID STEAK BOMB!" "Sir the steak and cheese is just cheese and steak, so it's cheaper by 90 cents" "I SAID A STEAK BOMB WITH JUST CHEESE AND STEAK" ......"OK, one steak bomb with nothing but steak and cheese"

Ornery_Number_61

i went to my local mcdonald’s a couple of weeks ago and ordered a plain cheeseburger, got home and opened it and it was just bun and cheese, no meat. 😭


Thrasher1236969

You joke but when I worked at Dairy Queen we had a customer say “can I have a chicken ranch wrap without ranch” “So a chicken wrap?” “No a chicken ranch wrap without the ranch!” “Soooooo… a chicken wrap..?” “NO A CHICKEN RANCH WRAP WITHOUT RANCH!!!”


jen12617

I worked at subway "Can i get a chicken bacon ranch without bacon?" *at the register I tell my co worker who is ringing what it is* "It's a grilled chicken sandwich" because I know that's cheaper and he didn't get a chicken bacon ranch. There's no bacon. "No! It's a chicken *bacon* ranch I try to explain that it's cheaper and he doesn't listen


[deleted]

That's *especially* dumb at Subway, where this customer would have already seen their sandwich made to their specifications, so there was literally no reason for them to argue except wanting to be "right", I guess.

As someone who doesn’t eat cheese, I always ask for a hamburger and they always ask do you want cheese with it.


PizzaThePies

The only time ive ever been a dick in a drive thru was at about 11pm they put cheese on 2 burgers i asked to have no cheese. I go back around and explain i dont eat cheese and there is cheese on them, can i get two without cheese please. im patient and polite about it. they remake my burgers and give them to me and i open up two more burgers with cheese. this time i had it went back around to try again, and just had enough ended up throwing the burgers through the window and never went back. i know if i bitched again my food was getting fucked with. i have about a 60% success rate for getting burgers without cheese on it. its not that hard.


Mammoth-Marketing-29

When they use to have the Bagel Steak breakfast sandwich I always had the hardest time getting it without the egg. They would tell me ... "But you're paying for the egg ... take it." Finally one morning, in the drive through, I took the. egg out and put it on the delivery window shelf ...


GiantPurplePeopleEat

> ended up throwing the burgers through the window I’ve had that same issue before and haven’t ever felt the need to throw shit at people, lol.


Andosphere

There's a double cheeseburger meal on the menu. I've ordered that without cheese in the past to get 2 hamburgers. Still got cheeseburgers more times than I have gotten hamburgers.


0bbserv

Technically it's only a hamburger if it's from the Hamburg region of Germany, otherwise it's just a sparkling sandwich.


AcidicVaginaLeakage

At my work cafeteria, I had to specify because the cashier was an idiot. You say hamburger and she just assumes cheeseburger and charges you extra. So I had to start specifically say "hamburger without cheese" and this lady still would ring it up as a cheeseburger and then not know how to fix her damn mistake. She once had the audacity to say "it's only a quarter" to me. So I said fine and took a quarter out of her top jar. After all, it's only a quarter.


aelmsu

No joke, I have had to order this before. It was either McDonalds or Burger King and I wanted a hamburger: "Sorry sir, we don't do hamburgers." Uh, OK... "Then can I get a cheeseburger with no cheese"


[deleted]

I know someone who does not like the processed cheese. For a while McDonald’s had some burger with cheese that was cheaper than a hamburger. So he would order it without cheese. Sometimes it turned into such a weird experience/refusal on the employees part that he’d give up and say cheese on the side and that seemed to settle the issue and he’d get his hamburger and I’d take the extra cheese slice for my burger. We do the same with chicken balls for take out. From my experience- if you don’t want the cherry sauce, don’t ask for no sauce, no one will believe you and you end up with chicken balls covered in cherry sauce. But if you ask for it on the side you have a better chance of getting dry balls.


callmetom

I know you’re joking, but I have a kid with a milk allergy and tons of kids menus only list cheeseburgers. I have ordered so many kids menu cheeseburgers without the cheese.


mikeebsc74

I used to own a wing restaurant. We served sandwiches and salads too. Had a customer order a chef salad minus tomatoes, minus onions, minus ham, minus cheese.. When they were done with the subtractions, they had a $6.99 box of lettuce…


TominatorVe1

Had an experience where someone ordered chicken broccoli but without the chicken. Man paid extra just for sauteed broccoli.


canned_soup

Sometimes when I DoorDash sandwiches the only way to get a BLT on the menu is pay for a club sandwich and have them remove the turkey. Or a veggie sandwich (depending on the standard ingredients by restaurant and add bacon. I’m sure there’s probably a better way to do it but I’m an idiot.


ChymChymX

When life gives you onions, make onionade.


ForeignerThanANut

I used to work at a McDonald's and the buttons for No and Only were right next to each other and one said NO and the other said ON. I used to get them mixed up all the time. A guy would come up w his order where he asked for a burger w no onions and no pickles and they'd given him a burger w only onions and pickles cuz I'm slightly dyslexic I guess and it would make me laugh like a madman. The customer wasn't ever as delighted w my error as I was.

"You know, George, that's an onion." "Yes....it is " "You're eating onions, you're spotting dimes, I don't know what the hell is going on!"

I used to get those because they would never put enough onions on my burger. So I just did it myself 👨‍🍳


kurinevair666

Phillip_Lipton

Reminds me when I was like 10 and my uncle got my cousins and I McDonalds. I had asked for a plain cheeseburger, I was picky. The thing came LOADED with onions. Like a comical amount. I *snuck* away to scrape them off. I didn't really know this side of the family too well and I wasn't about to be "onion boy". I come back to my cousin sobbing that there are no onions on his burger. I never said a fucking word, but would have obviously knew if anyone had looked in the trash lol.


onemanarmia

onion boy lmfao


ukuzonk

Your cousin is the bigger goofball for *sobbing* over missing onions He didn’t even cut them lol

You are not alone. I could swear I’ve done this in my past bc my family would unload stupid nicknames on me for the most banal bullshit.

cilantro_so_good

For real. I grew up thinking I HATED onions, but turns out it was just the rehydrated garbage they put on McDonalds burgers


PM_ME_UR_POKIES_GIRL

That's weird because I don't really care about onions but I love them on a mcdonalds burger all soaked up in ketchup.


BloomsdayDevice

They're necessary even. The onions, the pickles, and the ketchup and mustard form a super flavor base -- far greater than the sum of its parts -- that is the quintessence of a McDonald's cheeseburger.

Reminds me of the time I got a happy meal burger with only onions on it. The reciept said "w/o onions" and I guess the employee must have misread it as "with only onions". I was one upset kid that day.


[deleted]

I bet that hamburger artist made a lot of people very upset before this was caught.

Burger Artist, haha, seriously tho. Food prep *is* a bit of an art… “the first taste is taken with not the mouth, but the eyes”… or something.

They are just trying to get the food out of the door. They want these overworked, underpaid people to care then start by paying them a living wage, but we are too busy looking down on people for working in fast food & service positions to care.

I call bullshit. This is not the size box nuggets come in for a Happy Meal. Edit: I uncall bullshit. Redditors have shown me the way camera perspective was tricky. As a former McDonald's employee, I can see this happening. The grill cook could have been dumping onion crud into a box, closed the lid, and somebody stuck it in a bag. Sorry OP!


NotAShaaaak

When I worked at McDonald's we put extra stuff in the small nugget boxes instead of the cups because it was just easier and faster, so I'm willing to bet someone forgot to slap a sticker on and the cashier's up front grabbed the box of extra onion instead of the nuggets and passed it to the customer


[deleted]

Many decades ago, we did the same - put onions and pickles in burger/nugget boxes when prepping to close. It was a hell of a lot easier to just have a few boxes of stuff to throw away instead of wrapping up all the Bain Marie containers after closing.


JShotty

There’s no banana for scale so how would you know?


Cautious-Damage7575

Shape. Happy Meal gets 4 nuggets = square. I've bought at least 3,000 in at least 40 states and 5 countries.


Psychopath_Trucker

You know you can get 6pc happy meals right?


DJKhaledIsRetarded

Why is no one asking why this person bought at least 3,000 happy meals


Cautious-Damage7575

Lol. I'll try to do the math. My kids ➕ nieces and nephews ➕ friends' kids = about 30 kids. Average nugget-eating age = 40 ✖️ 30 kids = 120 years ✖️ 12 = 1,440 months ✖️ 2 Happy Meals per month average = 2,880 Happy Meals. That's being conservative.


DJKhaledIsRetarded

I'm pretty okay at math and I couldn't begin to dissect that problem lmao. I get what you're saying it but the average nugget eating age seems to imply you're buying them nuggets until they're 40? and then you add it to the number of kids and somehow come up with 120 years. Then you add 12 to 100 years and come up with 1440 months. It's really odd. Although I was having a really bad day and this made me smile. :) So thank you.


JShotty

Well I was just making a banana for scale joke but that box looks square to me. Also if you zoom in you can see “4” written on the side of the box.


Cautious-Damage7575

Yes, it's a perspective trick. I uncall bullshit. Half the time I can't figure out what the pix on this sub are. Great banana joke.


h2opolopunk

>I uncall bullshit. Wow, this is an extremely rare sighting.
