Fast food may be cheap and convenient, but people still expect to get what they pay for.

When one customer noticed a missing 35-cent add-on, he decided he was prepared to make it everyone’s problem.

Read on for the full story!

Short and silly story at McDonalds that happened today.

I had 6,000 pts for a free Big Mac on the McDonald’s app, so I swung by to get it.

Happened to have 35 cents in the car, so I added an extra piece of cheese, paid at the first window, got my burger, and after taking a bite I realized… no extra cheese.

He decided this wasn’t a 35 cents he was willing to part with just willy nilly.

Thought about letting it go, but dang it, I paid for that and figured I could get a second burger out of it for my time wasted.

So he decided to get back in line, but the employees weren’t as compliant as he hoped.

So I went back into the drive-thru, waited behind 3 cars, and when I got to the drive-up window the girl had the audacity to just hand me a cold piece of cheese.

He pushes the issue further, but more complications arise.

So I was like, “No, I already started eating it without the cheese before I realized, and had to wait in line again… so I’d like it re-made.”

She checked with her manager and came back and said, “Ok, but you have to give me the old burger back.”

Then he did something that would make many cringe.

Nodding, I picked up the burger and proceeded to take the 3 largest bites you’d ever seen and left nothing but a single bite and a pile of lettuce.

Mouth stuffed full of Big Mac, sauce all over my face, I gave her the biggest grin as I handed her the box containing what was left.

The employee had an unexpected reaction.

She actually grinned back.

I got a new one with TWO pieces of cheese a half a minute later. 35 cents well spent today.

Well, at least he’s proud of himself!

Redditors, however, weren’t so impressed.

Turns out, the price of extra cheese varies by location.

This user is kinda on the restaurant’s side here.

The whole interaction could have been a bit faster if he didn’t go through the drive-thru.

Sounds like the points are a lost cause at this point.

Some people might have just cut their losses and driven off without the cheese, but not him.

For him, it was the principle of the thing.
