We all make mistakes. After all, we are only human. However, the most important part of being a ‘decent’ human being is owning up to your mistakes. Although many people conveniently seem to forget that part. From what I can see is that it usually happens to customer service people. It is quite clear that many don’t give the same respect to these employees that they would give to any other human.
Why is it so hard to admit your mistake? Apologizing doesn’t make you any less of a person and definitely shouldn’t hurt your ego. However, many customers think they have the right to yell at a Mcdonald’s employee for not serving them a taco. And yes I ama ware how stupid that sounds. But apparently the following rude people could not realize that.

I also work there and it amazes me that people make that mistake everywhere. I have people come in to pick up food and get incensed at the fact that we don’t have their name on our list and we must have screwed up.
Then I ask what is on their order and they rattle off food from the Outback (which is next door), they say nothing and walk out the door. Like I get making mistakes, but how do you miss a giant pepper on the side of the building expecting steaks with an Australian theme. –Jormungand1342
Anytime someone asked for a plate when I worked at McDonalds I’d just give them the platter thing the pancakes come on, or teach them how to flatten a bag to use as a plate. –DisneyMusicSlaps

Damn. I just began working for a Wendy’s near me a while back and now I kinda laugh cuz the worst I’ve experienced is some people ordering 13-19 JBCs. –meltingtreebranch

Fun fact: McDonalds got too litigious with a company from Ireland, sued them, then bungled the case and wound up losing the trademark to Big Macs across all of Europe. So, while you couldn’t get a Whopper at McD’s, you could get a Big Mac at Burger King. –TWeaKoR
