She shared her video with the caption ‘living the Mcfantsay’ before revealing the irritating things that customers often do.
In her clip, she acted out common scenarios between her and customers, so if you’re a parent, you’ll want to take notes, as Abbie revealed the two very annoying things that parents do when getting their food.
The first scenario pointed at people that complain about having cold food.
As she pretended to be a customer, she noted: “My breakfast food is cold” to which Abbie, the employee, responded “Right, it’s currently 11:30am, there’s not really much I can do for you breakfast wise.”
Abbie then explained that breakfast ends at 11am, but the customer replied: “I just want my food re-made, I don’t know what’s so hard about that.”
Abbie then confirmed: “We’ve switched everything over now, we’re on the main menu, we haven’t got any breakfast.”
But the customer was not happy and responded: “Are you joking me? I’ve got freezing cold food here and you’re not even offering me a replacement?
“I’ve just come through the drive through, a second ago.
“Now my kids are going to starve, because of you.”
Another common situation that Abbie often deals with is when parents try and switch their child’s Happy Meal toy.
Abbie pretended to be a typical parent and said: “Hi, my son has got this Happy Meal toy with him and he was wondering if he could swap because he just needs one more.”
Abbie then replied: “I’m so sorry but we’ve actually only got that one I’m afraid. We haven’t got any others.”
However, the parent was not happy with this response and explained: “He just needs the man and then he’s got them all. You don’t have any out the back do you?”
Even though Abbie explained that they do not have any other toys, the parent persisted and asked: “Could you just go out the back and have a look for me?”
Abbie posted her clip just six days ago, but it has already amassed 97.3k views.
It has 12.4k likes, 61 comments and 20 shares.
Many McDonald’s employees could relate to Abbie’s clip and were quick to express this in the comments.
One person said: “Nothing worse when they pull out ‘my kids are gonna starve.’
Another added: “Last time someone said to me my kids are going to starve I replied with that’s good with me.”
A third commented: “It’s always ‘my kids are gonna starve.’
