First, no support for Graphene OS…

Second, snitching on an American hero for thirty pieaces of silver…

“I’m snitchin’ it”™

and

“Would you like some snitch fries with that?”™

or

“Try out new McSnitch sandwich!”™

    It’s another reason not to go there anymore. It’s no wonder as they were a big donor to the incoming “administration”.

      Well now hang on. Was it McDonalds the company that snitched, or some random person who happened to work at McDonalds? Because there’s a huge difference.

      25 years ago when I worked at Arbys as a teenager, some lady started yelling at me because they discontinued her favorite menu item.

      So I said “And you came saw right through my disguise. You see me mopping the bathroom, and you KNEW that’s the CEO of the company! Yes, there stands the man himself! The man with the power! As he pushes along his brown dirty mop water out of the bathrooms. You clearly saw all this and made the right call in putting me in my place. Ya caught me! T’was I who eliminated your beloved menu items!”

      And she threatened to call the cops on me. So I said "Oh please, I’m begging you to call the cops, and tell them that a teenager was sarcastic and demeaning to you as he mopped the floor after having been berated for not serving a menu item that hasn’t existed for over 2 years. Which was before I even started working here. But when you do, put it on speakerphone, and let us all listen. I’m sure the entire staff, managers included, would LOVE to laugh at them hang up on you.

        Doesn’t matter. They’re a de facto representative of the company. If I had been your Arby’s manager that would have been why you got fired. 🤷

          Do you honestly think 16 year old me gave 2 shits about being fired? Or that an arbys manager would give 2 shits about customers? Have you BEEN to arbys???

          Also, your logic doesn’t track. If you’re saying that McDonalds should fire this guy for snitching, that implies that McDonalds DOESN’T support snitching. That his actions were his own and do not represent the company who at that point would no longer employ him.

          Whereas I knew MY manager at that time would have been high as hell at work, and loved to watch this woman yell and scream and be a karen decades before that term existed. I directed her to take her threat DIRECTLY to the front of house to put on a show everyone can see, because I knew I had no reason to give a shit.

          And really, NO fast food worker should give a shit about the customers past a certain point. Be nice to those nice to you, but when they start bitching, they can fuck off with that.

          Back to the topic at hand, the snitching would be their own personal actions, not the company.

            Fair.

            If you’re saying that McDonalds should fire this guy for snitching

            I didn’t say that.

            And really, NO fast food worker should give a shit about the customers past a certain point. Be nice to those nice to you, but when they start bitching, they can fuck off with that.

            I agree entirely. But at the point that worker starts behaving as you described they’re going too far. It’s only warranted if the manager is being a lazy shit and not protecting the people they’re meant to be managing… and at that point should be followed up by an on the spot quit because that manager failed hard.

            Back to the topic at hand, the snitching would be their own personal actions, not the company.

            On time the company is renting they’re a representative of that company so you’re wrong in that.

      The McDonalds app no longer works on the GrapheneOS custom rom. This isn’t because of a comparability issue, it is an active choice by them to restrict users, and honestly GrapheneOS is a more secure OS than the standard android ROM on most phones so they can’t really say it is for security reasons.

            Yep, and along the way to remind you strategically that McDonalds is an option at times that you are considering what to eat. And to better tie you to a single profile to predict and then modify your behaviour. It would also be handy to do per person surge/demand pricing, making the prices of items dynamically shift to what you will tolerate.
