So, I go to McDonald’s since I’m sick and don’t feel like cooking, and order a big mac meal and head home. I get home and to my amazement there’s no burger…on my burger.
Initially I wanted to be upset, as a paying customer, and blame whoever it is that made the sandwich for such a stupid silly mistake.
Yet, being someone entrenched in the service industry for an extended period, I couldn’t refrain from chuckling.
It genuinely prompted me to ponder over instances of my most challenging days, where I’ve committed trivial errors and endured silently while being berated by irate middle-aged individuals, similar to Karen, questioning my intelligence and education level.
I headed back to McDonalds to show them and get a corrected one and we all had a great laugh about it.
I was happy to laugh with the staff and wait for a fresh one. We, as humans, all make mistakes and no matter how stupid or silly it may seem, it happens!
Not every situation involving simple mistakes needs to be hostile or make the individual feel belittled. We have all forgotten to put the Big mac on the Big mac at some point. Be kind ❤”
