McDonald's Employee FIRED for What They Did, Customer Gets Covid 5 Days Later 

The first guy already dug his grave and his excuses are so bad 😂😂

It really isn't about the decaf, it's about the fact that he felt he was entitled to mess with someones order because he felt like it, and the fact that this same attitude is what gets people hurt. I have multiple issues with food and I'm terrified of ordering out in case someone thinks I look a certain way enough to mess with what I ordered. It's not okay in the slightest. "It's just decaf." Isn't the issue, their attitude on food handling is.

Imagine being a child, and asking your family member to order food for you. They were rude when ordering, the server tainted the food, and now you, who did nothing, have to eat tainted food. That makes me feel truly sick.

Problem with the decaff coffee is that it's not about meeting people's dietary or medical requirements... it's about the fact that they ordered and paid for caffeinated coffee

Luckily most people know this is wrong and wouldn't do it in their own restaurants. There are a few bad apples but most people are sane, reasonable, and just want to get their paycheck

I literally can not believe people do this. My guy decaffed someone's order just because they pronounced croissant in a french accent. I can't believe how people can do such terrible things for tiny purposes.

Can say, as someone with chronic illness, this terrifies me. I'm diabetic and can only drink sugar free drinks. At a burger franchise in my country I asked for Fanta Zero, and when driving away I could tell it tasted off to me. So I went back and asked if this was really light. The dude hadn't tampered, per se, but he told me they didn't have sugar free Fanta. So he just gave me the normal without telling me. I know that sounds like a non issue but it's really not...

I worked at Domino's for a couple of years, and no matter how horrible a customer was, we never even considered tampering with the pizzas we cooked. I was always proud of that fact...it felt great working with good dudes.

I worked as a cook in numerous restaurants and saw things like this more than once. I reported each and every incident but it made me think how often this happens where nobody reports the scumbags tampering with food.

I saw someone mention that they ordered their coffee with a certain type of milk and the barrista thought they were pretentious for that and almost ended up sending them to the hospital because they ordered that milk for a reason.

This is the reason why I am as polite as possible to people who handle my food. Because the slightest thing can set them off and they tamper with your food. I'm sure many employee's do it completely unprovoked just because they had a bad day or something. Either way, I'm on my best behavior around people who are handling my food.

I love how the first guy is trying to give a health class on coffee and how you don't need it when the entire point him giving them decaf over regular is that you're just actively not giving them what they paid for.

I love how the guy at Starbucks went from: “I did it” to “I was joking” to “here’s why me doing this was saving your life.”

"I make comedy" "I make jokes" "It was a joke" Not to burst your bubble but they aren't funny, bud. Even in a comedic perspective, it was just lame.

Remember: even if a customer is completely rude to you, they're not worth going to jail and getting a criminal record over

I have my own story, in 2019, I went to firehouse subs, it was shortly after my boyfriend was fired from there and I don't know what they did, but they thought my sandwich was his, they were laughing behind the counter and when they brought the food out and went to hand them my sandwich, I mentioned it was mine and her face changed and the next day I was in hospital for food poisoning. Then I was back the next t day to hospital and was admitted for about 2 weeks, was released and had a Dr appointment 2 days later. My Dr told me to go straight back to hospital and not to delay or take any stops. My Dr office was 4 blocks away from the hospital. Got to hospital and admitted again for about 2 weeks. I was in critical condition, my potassium was below 2. I almost didn't survive. Firehouse subs didn't care. I have all my hospital records from it.

The irony of him calling someone else a “child” lol

I mean that first guy seems like a Karen himself. Entitled and rude.

The Starbucks guy really tried to backtrack by saying it was a “joke,” lol. He seems like he might be the king of gaslighting based on his responses lol.

bro went from a barista to a doctor ☠️

How does someone “look” like they speak French? Do people really believe languages are something that only a certain race/ethnicity can speak?

We get that employees can get mad, But spitting and doing wrong things with people's food is unacceptable especially with the Pandemic that scares millions of people.

He called a person a child for having a food preference, but he is the one doing things outside of your actual job. Self respect and self-control are things you must learn to truly grow.

Hiiii ex worker of McDonalds here. They definitely do NOT have good training here in Michigan. The food is handled poorly, the employees get treated poorly. I wasn’t properly trained on the register and I constantly got orders wrong. When I asked for help I was only told to “keep up or leave”. When I put my 2 weeks notice in, I was removed from the schedule 2 days later so I wouldn’t have much on my last check

I feel so sorry for people who got spit in their food simply because someone had a bad day

Tiktokers after getting backlash : “it was just a joke”.

Bro can't be giving people decafe coffees when he looks like he needs them to stay alive 🤡

The dude who decaffed someone's coffee makes bad and unreasonable excuses. Just because someone says croissant in a french accent and he doesn't like it doesn't mean he has to purposely misorder it. And simply because he's having a bad day or feels like it. The attitude and behavior of the man is already starting to feel like he's the rude customer himself.

imagine giving decafe coffee to someone for pronouncing croissant correctly

The first guy isn’t joking. He’s using a manipulative tactic to get himself out of the situation he put himself in. Heh good luck finding another good industry job :-)

I have a McDonald's story. I worked there in the early 90s. There was an elderly woman ordered an ice tea in drive thru. She complained to a worker that the tea was watery. The store manager then stepped in and took the tea, sipped it, poured more into it and served it back to the woman. The assistant manager looked in disbelief! The store manager btw was a real a$$hole anyway, but I didn't think he would do something so low and poison

i find it hard to believe that “McDonald’s has the best training”, literally my friend who was a former McDonald’s employee told me that he never received training and made him sign that he “received training”

"if people are nice then they get what they ordered" 💀

That first guy just reeks of "I got called out so now I'll pretend it was just a joke". And calling others "a literal child" for calling you out while you give a customer decaf because of how they pronounce a word. You're the child here, mate.

It’s always a joke when they get called out. Just give people what they ask for. Why do you care if it’s good for them or not? You’re not drinking it.

Message to the first guy: If caffine is so bad for you, why would you give it to the nice customers and let them destroy themselves? With your logic, the caffine should go to the "bad customers", and the decaf should go to the good customers. smh

"ThIS Is CoMEdY" is the dumbest excuse possible, there's a proper way to make comedy and jokes, about anything you can imagine, just saying "I would decaf someone's coffee just because I felt like it" is not comedy

It's one thing to get someone's order wrong, but it's another thing to purposely tamper someone else's food.

Someone: *pronounces croissant correctly* Barrista: And I took that personally

“you probably get strawberry frappuccinos!” dont even try to insult the godly strawberry Frappuccino

THE ENTITLEMENT OF THE FIRST ONE and he really felt smart with his two minute research. PLEASE if people want caffeine, just give it to them smh

don’t mess with people’s food. most people will be just fine having decaf instead of caffeinated coffee, but some won’t. as a diabetic, decaf affects my blood sugar differently than regular coffee. if i dose insulin for regular coffee and end up consuming decaf, it could end really badly. no matter how rude a customer is, NEVER purposefully change their order. besides the fact it’s basic human decency, you never know how it may affect them.

I used to work in a restaurant and when I got a rude customer I'd just let the tone of my voice go flat, I don't tamper with the food

...how does someone "look" like they speak a language? Sounds stereotyping.

Props to the guy who ratted on his coworker for spitting in a pizza.

As someone who works in McDonald’s in Denmark and know someone that works USA, I can tell you confidently that the rules, regulations, not only from the state, but also by each restaurant is VERY different. It’s appalling tbh

This is why I always act nice to food employees, because I'm scared stuff like this would happen to me.

It's a felony to tamper with food when you work in food service.

The starbucks guy is someone with a tiny amount of power who feels they run the world xD

On another note, there was a McDonald’s that saved a person, a man and his wife were driving, the man’s blood sugar got low because he had diabetes and needed to get it up fast so the wife drove into a McDonald’s, she explained to the person behind the window that her husband was diabetic and needed orange juice ASAP, the guy was the manager, who had a diabetic aunt, so he filled a cup with orange juice, and put packets of sugar in it and got it to them as quick as possible and the man was saved

The Starbucks guy could have been sued honestly, he scammed people out of maybe thousands of dollars, depending on how long he worked there

“You’re a child, you’re a literally a child.” Ironic.

Listening to that guy defend himself about decaf coffee gives me a headache

I just can't imagine someone tampering with your food, I'm sure they wouldn't like it happening to them

all these arguments about how “there aren’t any medical conditions that require caffeine” are missing the point. if someone wants coffee, just give them coffee. like, is it really that hard lol

" i make comedy " " I make jokes " Sir you are the joke

Imagine going from people spitting into coffee to people rubbing their balls on pizzas

My friend had to drink coffee as a bronchodilator because she was allergic to asthma medicine. My doctor told me to drink more caffeine for low blood pressure - the barista should be charged.

I’m sorry where did he get this “caffeine is bad for you” concept? People with epilepsy have been told to drink caffeine to insure they stay seizure safe.

"You're literally a child" Yeah, aren't you the dude that decaf their orders because they're mean and just because you felt like it?

That first guy attempting to science his way out of it is missing the fact that some people with ADHD will use caffeine to help them manage their ADHD.

As someone who works at McDonalds, tampering food is a wild concept. The most I do when agitated at a customer is flatten their burgers a bit or give them more then they asked for (want extra onions? Have a mini mountain of them). But never spitting in someone's food.

As a Starbucks assistant store manager, I’m actually baffled for the former barista worker. I’ve met pretty rude customers but never in my life working have I ever thought of intending to tamper or missing up the drink because of a customer’s attitude/personality. The world is already corrupted enough with a lot of violence and sadness. Can we please just be nice to others? I understand if there is a lot of extremely rude people but we already have a lot happening right now. We need some good moments in our lives :) Hopefully anyone that sees this have a nice and beautiful day and don’t let rude people turn your day around! 🙃🙃

Once I went to a carnival so ofc I'd want hotdog. I asked the lady at the front if they sell them because there were alot more foods there. She said "yes we do!" I asked her the price and she didn't listen she was already making it. When she was done she showed it to me and said $10. (That is such a ridiculous price for one hotdog in my country). So I told her I didn't want it and proceeded to another booth to purchase something in my budget. The hotdog lady came to that very booth and took over my meal. Even handed it to me with a simile. I didn't think anything of it but later that day I had symptoms of food poisoning and was taken to the doctor. Yup turned out I was poisoned. We suspected the hotdog lady gave me food flies had walked on. I stayed in the hospital overnight on drips since I was constantly puking and excreting everything I ate. I see people in a different light now. Imagine giving a 13 yr old contaminated food joyfully. Getting them bedridden with a needle in their arm for hours in the freezing hospital. It makes my blood boil. I leave that woman to God.

He’s reading from medline acting like he’s a biochemist

Allowing plea deals and downgrading felonies need to end. No lesson is learned if the full punishment for these vile acts are not administered

as someone with severe ocd, specifically germaphobia, i would literally have a mental breakdown. please, please don’t do this 💔

I feel that the best way to deal with rude customers is to do your best so that they can leave as quickly as possible.

The thing is Starbucks decaf coffee still has a good bit caffeine in it, it’s about half of what regular coffee has in it. I used to be a manager and I would’ve fired that dude in a heartbeat with the attitude he has. I suspended an employee once because I heard a guy specifically order decaf coffee because he had a heart condition and she didn’t feel like putting decaf beans in the machine because she didn’t want to have to clean it and break it down at the end of the night, she didn’t understand why what she did was wrong and why I was so upset with her. She then got an attitude with me when I went and put the beans in the machine to make the guy’s coffee and told her to clock out and leave and that I would breakdown the machine and clean it at the end of the night. I never put up with my employees being rude to customers or purposely messing up an order because they didn’t like customer.

I delivered for “The Hut" and every Wednesday the Highway Patrol would order from us and I caught the cooks sliding their dough all over the ground before making their pizzas and I lost my sh*t on them. I think my reaction actually made them realize how messed up it really was and I never saw it happen again.

I was in 3rd Grade, got the Flu from school, as did a bunch of other kids. My mom told me she found out the lunch lady was fired for food tampering to get back at the kids for being rude to her about her weight. She found out because a kid I went to school with lived in the same apartment building as us at the time and she said a bunch of parents who could afford lawyers pressed charges. When a child misbehaves at school, you give them detention and call their parents; Please don't spread your germs on their food. It's disgusting!

Him saying there is no medical conditions that need coffee and then naming off how terrible regular coffee is. First of all he has no right to make medical decisions for others. Second of all decaf coffee can have bad side effects to0 Ex: Heart diseases, Acidity, Rheumatoid arthritis, Headaches, Slow nervous system, Fatigue, Nausea, Affects absorption of iron, and Pain. It's not good either so if he thinks he did any good by giving them decaf he is wrong. Just get people what they pay for it isn't that hard.

Well since everybody and their mom are doctors now: I have severe chronic migraines and caffeine helps a lot when I'm on the go and I don't have my meds right away!

I’m never ordering a food from a restaurant ever again

I love how this dude turned from a 'comedian' to a medical practitioner.

I just watched 20 minutes worth of why I might never get fast food again unless it is cooked in front of me.

Caffeine can also temporarily relieve asthma symptoms. Back when I used to have asthma attacks a lot I would sometimes run low in my inhailers while out because they didn't have counters back then. Turning to a strong coffee or Coke would be my only relief until I could get another inhaler.

Behaviors such as these only shows how evil demented some people are.

imagine acting like a doctor when people call you out for decaffing orders

what a fool. doctors literally told me to drink caffeine for my extremely bad migraines that im on prescribed migraine meds for. i’m 22 not elderly.. he has clearly never heard of the vitamin “B2”, the absence or lack of which can cause migraines. caffeine has B2 in it, which can help with migraines. smh

Imagine ruining someone’s mad because your in a bad mood and you “felt like it”

Yeah it’s not funny. The amount of disease that could be spread. My husband died because his brother had covid and didn’t care. His grandma, my husband, and I all got sick because he just thought we would all be ok and really wanted to come over and didn’t tell us he was positive until the next day. Grandma and my husband both died. Im alive but I’m left with mental and psychical trauma.

Crazy dude: "There are zero medical conditions requiring you to drink coffee." Me: Well, there are zero reasons why you should exist.

I hope that the guy who decafed people for saying croissant in a French accent gets only one sauce packet after asking for extra. You don’t really need that sauce anyways, it’s not benefiting your health in any way. 🤷

Caffeine increases the efficacy of pain killers- I drink coffee with my Advil because I get migraines pretty often. I hope he gets what’s coming to him.

If you do comedy and your jokes are so trash that people keep misunderstanding them, you should probably just quit

the most disgusting part of this video is you describing taco bell as your favorite taco place 💀

It doesn't matter if you are mad at anyone, if they are rude to you. it's YOUR job, YOU get payed to do it right. Don't mess with people's foods, drinks or products 🤦‍♂️

Even if you tamper with a rude customer's food, how can you even be sure that they are the ones eating it? ToT What if they were bringing it home to their kids or something? I'm not trying to say it's okay in any circumstance, but workers who feel the need to "punish" a rude customer could actually be hurting a completely innocent person.

One of my old roommates in college was a type 1 diabetic, and on more than one occasion a food service person gave them regular sugar soda instead of the diet sugar-free one they asked for. I never understood why they would do this, as my roommate was never rude and always tipped well. I hope it was just a mistake, but you never know when someone was trying to be malicious or if they thought that my roommate shouldn’t be drinking diet because they were already fit… it could really harm someone but fortunately within a couple of sips they could usually tell if it was regular sugar or artificial sweetener.

Lots of disturbed evil people working in those food places. It will put those places out of business eventually, if not from the lawsuits they receive.

Having razor blades in food could have been so fking dangerous. Thats so creepy and I cant even imagine how you would feel if that happen to you

As an employee who has worked at McDonald's for almost 4 months now, I've never witnessed food tampering nor have i been subjected to it. I'll be honest, there have been a few snippy customers but tampering with their food is just too far. I do my best to avoid conflict when it comes to the customers

the decaf dude thinks he's a professional nutritionist or what

As someone who works in food service, the way some people try to ‘punish’ customers is genuinely revolting to me

Here's the life lesson: Always enjoy your mom's cooking.

Ummm... Some people with ADHD find caffeine really helpful for focusing. Don't go claiming caffeine doesn't help anyone

“It was a joke. You guys can’t take jokes.” We’ve heard that one from idiots like that one too many times. He wasn’t joking…if it was a joke, it was a terrible joke. He thought he was cool for doing that and when he found out he wasn’t, he called it a joke. This is a joke in the sense of how Trump used to make “jokes”.

Why would the dude in Starbucks be annoyed with people who pronounce things correctly? 🤔

Caffeinated coffee has been used in cases where people are unable to access their asthma inhaler. It has saved lives. Imagine being 'off' because you are literally trying to keep yourself breathing, and are given the opposite of what you need because of a snarky employee.
