Having worked at a McD's I can tell you exactly what the best thing to do in this situation is.awesomeClaw said:
Firstly, proper QSC requires that you take the money before you grab the food, which should not be ready by the time you type it in. Order, get, then pay? That's slow and inefficient. And when the kid can't pay....
...You call a supervisor and explain the situation. MOST supervisors that work at McDonald's are trained in such a way that they'll actually give a hungry kid food if the kid absolutely needs it.
ummm... kid's got to pay before the order is placed.
I payed for it. Lots of us did it because we felt bad. we did that for the first few kids, but I guess they told their friends and then they all started showing up and then we had to start turning them down. It got out of hand fast.
We told them how to get to the shelter and where the nearest food kitchen was.
We felt bad for them, but after they started taking advantage of it we decided we need to figure out how to get them care without screwing ourselves over. So we just looked it up, photocopied a few maps and just handed those to the kids.
if you work fast food and live in an area with a sizable homeless/poverty population, I recommend you figure out where the closest shelter is for them and tell them how to get there. They might be homeless and you might think that's they'd be grateful, but they take advantage of a situation.

give it to him and put your own money in the register, easy.
A happy meal costs what? three dollars? Defiantly not worth sacrificing your humanity over.
And then there is that. There are plenty of solutions that end in the starving child eating.DracoSuave said:

I'd give him the meal, no doubt about it. After that, I'd conact the autoroties to take care of the kid. Hell, I'd even upsize the meal. Pay for it myself, too. I'm just a bleedy guy, and I don't like to see kids hurt, no matter the circumstance.
Well, maybe, if they're pesky brats, but that's a different issue, isn't it?

hehe, i really really hope he haves a microphone hidden somewhere because proving i said that is going to be really hard, and there were mitigating circumstances, the law isn´t absolute, and any Jury would realize that there were forces beyond the "contract" at work hereOne Hit Noob said:
as i said, easy.
EDIT: I live in México by the way, and i know things will work out in my favor, the laws over here tend to tip over to the workers side, not the company, and it doesn't matter how many regulations the company haves they would lose the moment we got into Jury because there would be like a hundred inspections, regulations and fines they would have to pay, i´m sure they would settle before reaching court.
Precisely. McD's is a company that tries hard to sell its product to children to increase brand loyalty. From sheer word-of-mouth alone over the goodwill, it teaches management to treat kids in this situation very well. Cause that kid'll remember it, and down the road'll say 'Hey, don't douche on McD's, the manager there was really cool.'drisky said:
Every piece of good word of mouth makes a specific franchise 20,000 dollars over one customer's lifetime, on top of other customers' opinions being favorable to the place.
Yeah, that manager, if properly trained, WILL give the kid a burger.
Well not hard for you since you live in Sweden. I mean you guys have it way too easy, you have Mojang, and Frictional. You live in Heaven good sir.Khadplank said:
Here in Hell these decisions tend to be a little harder. Since the poor kid is either gonna starve, becouse no one fucking else is gonna care for the little bastard, or he is really just waiting for an oportunity to stick a french fry in your eye and get the money out of the register.
By the way, do you guys still have room in there?
I wouldn't give it to him. People use their kids for scams like that way more often than you would believe. I'm not sure who I would call, but certainly there is some agency that would be interested in the welfare of a homeless child -- and they could verify that he was actually homeless.
To balance out the bad karma you're getting, I think the way you replaced the "S" in McDonald's with a "$" is both insightful and creative.
Furthermore, I would tell my boss to go screw himself (as Subway is always hiring), sit down and have a meal with the boy, and ask him how he got in this situation and how I could fix it.

As long as he wasn't about to die, I'd take it away from him.
Sorry to sound heartless, but a job's a job, and trying to find a new one can be difficult.
