Would you be offended?

You got your order without having to pay?

Wait, McDonald’s was the first thing you ate after being sick? Why?

How did she plan to resolve your order? Did she realize she wasn’t doing her job?

I hope you called a manager over immediately to put that fool in her place!

That’s the manager’s problem. Not yours. What did she want you to do? Overpay her? I am a little curious over what the manager’s action would have been. I wonder if he would have excused her – would he/she have apologized to you?

It just goes to show how utterly silly some peoples’ religious beliefs (what are in no way backed up rationally) can be.

By the way, her hair color is not a relevant fact.

As for being offended – no. Amused, yes. Disgusted, sort of.

>going to mc donalds
(☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞ That’s your problem right there.

Going to McDonald’s after a night of praying to the porcelain god pretty much guarantees you a 666 in my book.

Anyway… She’s clearly insane. If she gave you the meal for free, great. Happy Easter.

If she overcharged you a penny so she can sleep at night, great. Maybe she can put it toward her meds.

I got paybacks…....poopin like the girl in Exorcist.

Maybe you should have taken the 6.66 as a sign…

Thunderous voice from above:

If you eat that “food” you’re going to feel like you’re in Hell!

Maybe it wasn’t the 6.66 or the food. It could have been because it is Sunday and Easter Sunday on top of that.

Oh wow. @bkcunningham you’re kinda scaring me :/

Maybe you should try something bland, a little oatmeal perhaps?
Mickey D’s should not have been your first thought after puking all night!
I wouldn’t have been offended, I would’ve thought the girl was off her rocker.

I wouldn’t have been offended. I would’ve probably just said something smart about either taking my money or giving me my food for free. People say and do weird things all the time. Not much surprises me anymore.

Offended? No. It would garner a simple * eyeroll * and a “Well, if you won’t take my order, maybe your manager will.”

You should never be offended, if someone offers you free food.

That is her belief and you should just deal with it.

I went into a Cracker Barrel Restaurant one morning to order bisucuits and gravy to go. When my order arrived, an arm came in between my right arm and body with a $20.00 bill. “His breakfast is on me”, said a voice. As I turned around to thank that person, he/she was gone. The Cracker Barrel door was closing as I walked outside to find the person that had been so gracious to me. GONE…....not a person in sight. I let Cracker Barrel keep the change and I left.

Moral of our stories, never look a gift horse in the mouth and 666 is just another number.

@john65pennington, I was at the casino one day waiting in line to order in the food court and something similar happened to me. This young man in front of me kept staring at me and I kept making eye contact and smiling back at him. When we got closer to the cash register, he said, “Order whatever you want it is on me.” I told him he didn’t have to do that and he insisted saying that he was in the high-rollers room and had just gotten comps for anything and everything because he’d won $68,000. I felt so blessed, I almost ordered a couple of beers, but decided it might not be the right thing to do.

Maybe it was the Devil feeling sorry for you and trying to tell you not to eat McD’s after a bad night. There’s some things even he won’t do. Offended? No. There’s a heck of a lot worse things going on right now in the name of religion.

I wouldn’t because 666 was wrong.

“Around 2005, a fragment from Papyrus 115, taken from the Oxyrhynchus site, was discovered at the Oxford University’s Ashmolean Museum. It gave the beast’s number as 616. This fragment happens to be the oldest manuscript (about 1,700 years old) of Revelation 13 to date” Wikipedia.

@marinelife: No way!!! 616 is the number assigned to the Marvel Comic Book Universe proper (as it relates to the multiverse).

Dammit, that book “Seduction of the Innocent” was right after all.

The ‘Marvel Universe’ didn’t exist when SOTI was published :P

I’d ask her if she wanted 6.9 instead.

@FutureMemory: True, but Timely Comics did – which later became Marvel Comics. Timely is where Stan Lee got his start as a kid.

lol, @rebbel.

PS My breakfast was not free. The girl had someone else wait on me.
and this is a great way to keep me away from fast food.

I’m offended that your order was that much. You should always try to keep a McD order below $2.50 That’s all the junk calories anyone needs in a sitting.

She seems to be more concerned with form than with substance.

I would have never had the chance to be offended since I go to Hardee’s with all the other Godless heathens.

the loaded omelet biscuit? c’mon, you know the devil invented that.

Just for the record, and for anyone perturbed by encounters with that particular number, it is in fact indicative of the Magic Square Number the Sun, and nothing to do with any devilish religious misrepresentations.

I’d be too busy trying to figure out how any permutation of McD’s prices would add up to $6.66.

Personally I worship The G*d of random capitalized common Nouns and the one of Dropped “g’s, ya Know what I’m sayin’?

Joku tunne hienovaraista, Sly ja vetreä tänään.

Joku on. Voitko tulla yli ja korjata minun uusi televisio?

Jos olisin elänyt tarpeeksi lähelle, olisin siellä syke.

Joke on. Vou tuu du not ympres mu ;-)

Just for experimentation, I went to McDonald’s on the way home from running an errand at the drug store this morning.

The best I could do was come up with a bill of $5.66. I guess I am still holy.

@rebbel:Nou duu two.

@gailcalled Don’t mess with my tuu two.

@rebbel . . . Ehkä jos luovuin housut?

@Blondesjon Let me think about that for a minute.
Edit: No.

Don’t you just hate it when a Dutchman makes really funny puns in English?

Girl, your’e both nuts, eating junk food after being sick? Tsk tsk! You should have had some fruit and yogurt and tea instead of satans cesspool of grease. lol

666…brings to mind the year I just so happened to coincidently write my check to the IRS on check # 666 with 3 little pigs in a trough in the picture. lolol
Definetly some cosmic humor at work there.

No, I wouldn’t have been “offended.” Annoyed, perhaps, but not offended. It’s her belief. Each to her own. (I do wonder, though, how strongly she’ll hold on to her beliefs when she starts losing jobs because of it.)

meh

Would I be offended? Well, I might be pissed that I couldn’t have my food, unless she just let me have it without having to pay. Not to be a bitch here, but her fucking up on the job isn’t my problem. For all intents and purposes, I’d sure call in a superior, or deal with another staffer if it all got too complicated. What is the outcome though? How the heck did all this turn out?

True story; a few days ago I went out to buy a few things at the convenience store, and that’s the price I was asked. 6,66. I should have started ranting, and demanding what kind of sick, unholy number this was.

The problem is…I thought it was pretty cool.

Edit: I have changed my answer because I read your update after my previous answer about free food. If she simply got someone else to serve then no, that wouldn’t offend me. Regardless of what I think about her obvious paranoia, it obviously bothers her and I would respect that to her face but probably laugh it off when I left the building. She hasn’t hurt you or anyone else by asking someone else to take the 6.66 and pop it in the till. She’s made herself look a bit strange but that’s the extent of the damage.

I would have threatened to report this to her superior/s. P.S You don’t have to respect her beliefs if she doesn’t respect yours, since respect needs to be a two-way street. Also she had no right to entangle her religious beliefs with performing the job she was hired to do.

Wait…“You don’t have to respect her beliefs if she doesn’t respect yours, since respect needs to be a two-way street.” .that leaves a paradox, @Paradox25! Are you saying that the right response was to say something like, “I don’t believe what you believe so give me my damn food?” ? That isn’t respect. Often times, respect is shown by doing or saying nothing.

@Dutchess_III “I don’t believe what you believe so give me my damn food?” Yes, that sounds right to me. Come on, it’s her job not a theology course. What would you think if she didn’t serve you because she said you’re an infidel? You can’t be that open about your religious beliefs when your job has to do with dealing with the public. What if she would had been the only one able to serve her food that day and refused to serve her because of her religious beliefs?

@Paradox25 I agree with the gist of what you are saying. Work is no place for that silliness and she’ll learn (have a feeling it’s a kid.) However, I don’t agree that just because someone expresses a belief that is different than yours that that means they aren’t respecting your beliefs. That’s a paradox. Just like a Mexican standoff.

Instead of asking to speak to her supervisor, I think I would have said something like

“Give me my order, or I will bring a plague upon this entire city!!!!”

At that point, she would probably summon the manager without being asked.

LOL! That would work too!!

There’s a 7% sales tax where I live. The energy drinks my hubs likes cost $3.12 at his favourite convenience store. He pays with a $10 bill, and his change? $6.66. Freaks people out every time. Usually other people in line, though. Not the clerk. Wonder what that Mickey D’s clerk would have done.

The last 3 digits of my phone number is 666.
I thought it was amusing when they gave it to me.
They are just numbers and don’t mean anything.

If we’re talking about times we’ve come across 666…I was watching a movie once and paused it to take a call at exactly 66.6% duration. Uh yeah.

I bought a raffle ticket at Ren Faire this year. Last three numbers were 666. Satan was not on my side. I didn’t win anything.

If I ate MickeyD’s food and this happened to me, I’d probably still be in the line or the drive thru lauging my ass off, whilst sharing the story with everyone behind me in line.

Hope you’re feeling better @jazmina88
