Page 5 | Was I body shamed at Mcdonalds

Are you ashamed of your body? If not you can't be made to feel shame. And if you are ashamed, it's hardly his problem is it? But as it goes, no, he was not trying to be unpleasant. McDonald's workers just don't have the time.

What a snowflake you're being OP! People lose their jobs because of snowflakes like you.

One meal won't do any harm, no.

But the deprivation/reward thinking behind it does. Conditioning kids to think that a tough day/a good day/being sad/celebrating = I should comfort and/or treat myself with fatty or sugary processed food? That's a huge factor in obesity and ill health.

Weight wasn't bought into it...

The man working on the drive through thought it was funny and said ''it's a good job I'm slim''

Had he of said "good job I only weight 7 stone and can stand on this rickety old stool to reach over without it breaking, unlike you by the look of it" you might just have a post to write about.

Think no more of it, he was probably to busy collecting the cash from your DD to be noticing what you think you look like.

Unnecessary, it won't do any harm once in a while

Bet he says that every time he has to stretch. It's not the most exciting job so he's making an efffort.

YeGodsandLittleFishies · 04/02/2025 22:07

People working the window at McDonalds are generally trying to get customers through as efficiently as possible.

He made the comment not to highlight your weight but to highlight the fact that leaning forward to take the money from your child makes his job more difficult.

If you do it another time and your child drops the money it could seriously hold up their line.

He doesn’t care in the least about your weight, he cares that you were inconsiderate.

McParanoid.

You've reminded me. Years ago my brother's friend Aaron went into a McDs and straight faced asked "Excuse me, where are the McToilets?"

Those windows are tiny. An adult handing over money will reach their arm out of car window to help with the transaction. A 5 year old won't be able to do that so he's had to put his arm, shoulder and probably some of his upper body through the window to reach your 5 year olds hand.

Professionally offended springs to mind

Exactly.

Next time get off your arse, go into the restaurant and let her pay without some poor guy contorting himself out a tiny window just so your kid can pay.

I think someone's one nugget short of a Happy Meal here.

Omg, I doubt it but if Macdonald's is seen as a treat you're not exactly teaching your child about good food, it's an emergency not a treat

I'm happy to eat an emergency Big Mac at any time.

It’s a treat if it’s something that someone particularly enjoys.

madamweb · 04/02/2025 21:53

I think you are missing the point.
He wasn't talking about you at all

But I do think it was out of order to make him lean out and stretch.

Why not go into the building and get taken out if Dd wants to pay?

Do you normally look for reasons to be a victim OP?

You forgot to add the faux concerned, passive aggressive pathetic little ‘are you ok op?’ 🙄

LittleEar · 04/02/2025 21:51

Wow. Just wow.
