7 of the worst things McDonald's employees have seen on the job

One McDonald's crew member of seven years complained about encountering customers who bring in "annoying" dogs that "bark in my ear when I'm trying to take your order."

A crew member from Pennsylvania told Business Insider that they hated to see "people that take money out their bras."

They added that they didn't want to have to touch "bra money."

"I don't want to touch what was just touching your flesh," the crew member said.

Ornery fast food patrons are nothing new. But one crew member told Business Insider about an encounter with one particularly aggressive customer at the drive-thru.

"One time, a woman threw her oatmeal at me through the drive-thru window because I was trying to make sure that I heard her coffee order correctly," a crew member of two years told Business Insider.

"I've had people throw a fit when I didn't give them ketchup by default — the customer is supposed to ask for it — or when I didn't give all of the extra sauces they want without charging them," a New York-based former crew member told Business Insider. "The employees have absolutely no say in pricing or policies, not even the store managers do, so why are we the ones you're telling at?"

"I have seen a half-eaten fudge sundae in the women's bathroom," a crew member told Business Insider. "It was sitting on the toilet, and it was completely melted. I don't know what was wrong with whoever left it there, but to this day I still find it depressingly comical."

Another Illinois-based crew member told Business Insider that they had found enough food in the men's bathroom of their restaurant to "feed a household."

"A small family was on their way out when their six-year-old son threw up right in front me," a former crew member from Virginia told Business Insider. "This child clearly did not chew one piece of food from his Happy Meal and swallowed everything whole."

The crew member said the family "just kept walking," and didn't bother to apologize, clean up the mess, or check to see if the child was okay. The child proceeded to vomit again in the parking lot. At that point, the crew member said the child's grandfather became "visibly angry."

"He stormed back into the restaurant, accused me of poisoning the boy, and told me to, 'Clean up that s---, it's disgusting,' as if it were my puke," the ex-crew member told Business Insider. "He also failed to inform me that his grandson had also thrown up in the play area. I got a very angry complaint from someone about that."
