As someone who worked in food service for a while, one of the only redeeming parts was the discounted food you get at the end of the shift.

So if you decide to mess with your employees’ free food, expect to have a bona-fide revolution on your hands!

And when this boss refused to let employees bring their free meals home, this worker got some incredibly dramatic revenge for her and her coworkers!

McDs Free Employee Meal

So years ago in college I worked at McDonald’s. While working there I quit eating fast food.

Mostly because it would just upset my stomach. Plus I had just read Fastfood Nation and was trying to be more healthy.

Anyway I would still get an employee meal. Depending on the hours you worked would determine the size of the meal.

The meals did more than just feed the employees, they helped feed their hungry families….

Now some fellow employees would take this meal home to family members.

I knew at least two had families going through tough times. I generally just got one white and one chocolate milk.

Everyone knew this was all I’d eat from there.

But apparently her boss was a real curmudgeon…

Then one day, the guy a level higher than the store manager mandated that all employee meals were to be eaten on premises.

So even after your shift if you wanted your meal you ate it there. This made me really angry.

So after a long 9 hour shift I could get the large meal. I forget what size, but I think the quarter pounder was the most expensive I could get. So I ordered it.

But just because she ordered the food didn’t mean she had any intention of eating it…

Manager was shocked as everyone knew I didn’t eat there. She handed it to me and I walked over and threw it away.

She asked what I was doing and I told her I disagreed with the rule.

Told her my sister would have eaten it, but since I had to eat it there I’d just throw it away.

I did that every day for a week or two before my store manager spoke with her boss and had the rule removed.

Now that’s you how you protest a rule: in the way that proves just how stupid the rule is in the first place!

Reddit revealed that apparently ridiculous rules about employee meals were all too common at McDonalds.

And others said meal restrictions were only the beginning of McDonald’s ridiculous employment practices…

But this brown-noser said there were good reasons these types of rules existed.

Finally, this user ironically did the same exact thing with her brother to get back at her own manager when she worked at McDonalds!

Guess she wasn’t “loving it.”

I can’t imagine why!
