Wouldn’t that be cannibalism though?
It’s an earned name, like Cannibal Johnson or Thorkell the Tall.
…you think pugs are chickens?
No I think chicken nuggets are made out of pugs.
That… would explain their texture…
He is Nugget and he eats nuggets.
…aaaaaaaand now I feel dumb for not catching that. To be fair, it’s been a hard
dayyear for me.
No one gonna talk about that adorable pup sitting next to treats without his nose shoved in them? 10/10 good boy right there.
I looked at it and heard that song “He’s a hap-py, happy dog. He’s a happy, happy hap-py dog.”
I hadn’t noticed that, but you’re right. Like, you can tell that he’s not even bracing himself in anticipation as you sometimes see dogs doing when they’re trying their best to ignore the food — he makes it look effortless. What a good boy
Me when im about to quit one of my 3 part time jobs.
“Here’s a bunch of free shit, hey cool dog! Do you want the cash register before I go?”
Narrator: They didn’t know it would become Nugget’s last day, too.
Oh God. I do hope he didn’t let that pug eat a whole bag of McNuggets.
Yeah! Me too! I was going to eat that whole bag!
When I was in high school, in a small town, we got our first fast food restaurant in the form of a Burger King. Almost everyone worked there at some point. But I remember a friend of mine one day he was working when I went thru the drive thru just for a drink but when I paid, he hands me my drink (but the largest size) and then 3 bags: One full of fries, one full of whoppers, and one full of chicken nuggets. Turns out he was quitting and was doing that for everyone 🤣
This has to be a rite of passage or something because I pretty much did the same thing. I was a 19 yr old working at Burger King as a shift manager. It was a bright and beautiful Sunday morning, my last day at the job, and I was about to start my new career the very next day.
I was flying high and I could not even attempt to give two shits about Burger King. We did full inventory and ordered food for the week on Sundays, everyone hated doing this so they made me do it as much as possible.
I got the bright idea to have a BBQ at my new job in the morning so I fudged the numbers and walked out with 1 case of whopper patties, 1 case of hamburger patties, enough buns to cover them all, the veggies, and a BK crown.
Lol best bbq ever the next day and I got to start my new job with an awesome first impression. I networked with so many random people which has actually boosted my career to this day.
The moral of my story is… Stealing from Burger King is… good…?
Just avoid the foot lettice.
How dare he steal from a generous corporation willing to give him work /s
Love when people spread the love on their last day.
At an undisclosed time in the past, I worked at a call center for a big, horrible bank. I hated it but didn’t plan on quitting until I got off of a heartbreaking call around 10 in the morning. That call/situation broke me as a person, so I knew I couldn’t work there anymore. My plan was to work until my lunch at 1:00 and then just not come back.
From 10am to 1pm, anyone who wanted an overdraft or other fee refunded got it; no questions asked. Even if they didn’t ask for it, I was like “oh, I see you have a few overdraft fees from a couple weeks ago. I’ll go ahead and refund those to you as a courtesy”.
In those 3 hours, I think I refunded close to $1200 in fees for who-knows-how-many people. That’s probably not possible now since even back then they had a primitive “AI”-like system that you had to go through to issue refunds. But it was still in beta then so we still had access to the old system to do them manually. I’m guessing that new tool got pushed to production real quick after my last day.
You remind me of that scene where Mr incredible works at the insurance office.
Real heroes don’t wear capes.
Because capes get you killed
No capes!
Yeah, Supe probably would have just exploded that jet engine. Everyone can’t be Supe.
I used to work escalation support for a door and window company, and we had full discretion to give people free shit to keep them happy “within reason”. See, doors and windows are really expensive, and warranties are serious business when you are talking $20k in product, so reputation is important. We were the step below the core product experts with the company, who handled anyone who was talking lawyers.
I hated that job because, like any call center, they never fired anyone for not doing their job properly/well, so I gave away a lot of free stuff in protest. Like a lot. Examples include:
- Oh you are a 10 months outside of warranty for the whole house of windows that’s just started failing? No problem, we’ll honor it and send out an inspector to get the full scope, order the replacements, then install them.
- Oh you are missing a piece, but you mentioned the thing it’s attached to isn’t working that well, so I’ll just send a whole new unit for you, instead, and just charge for the small piece.
- You’ve just ordered this replacement part that’s outside of warranty, I’ll include some stuff to keep it working well for you.
- Ok we can’t figure out which specific part it is that you need, so I’m going to send the entire kit.
- If you only replace this one piece on the door it will be aged differently than the rest, so I’ll send you a whole new set of hardware.
The only thing you needed to do to get free stuff from me was be nice, and have a need I could fill for free. If you were mean, not just frustrated but mean, to me or my tier 1 agents, I’d get real stubborn real quick. That served as a lovely smokescreen so nobody really caught on to the plethora of goodies I gave away, though I saw my giveaway stats and they were considerably higher than anyone else. But it meant I got great feedback, so they didn’t do anything about it except tell me to cut it back where I could. lol ok sure I’ll get right on that.
Small thing overall but I got what I could out of it.
This is the way we should all be at our shitty jobs. Maybe not this extreme unless you know youre quitting, but sprinkle a few refunds in every week, see what you feel comfortable with and/or can get away with.
Let’s face it those of us in USA aren’t going to general strike or anything any time soon. Least we can do is the little rebellions.
At work (flight attendant) if someone’s card declines…no it doesn’t. If someone is nice i fake swipe. And i do free upgrades when it makes sense (tall people and passengers-of-size as a priority). It used to be the norm i think, but now we have to be a bit cheeky with it.
Also please use all of your sick time and vacation time every year, or you are just giving your ceo/owner a bonus.
As someone who flies frequently due to a mixture of work and living far from family: bless you. You’re a BAMF and I always remember the flight attendants who make the trip dope!
Flying sucks for everyone but attendants make it suck so much less!
Now some of the passengers on the other hand…
And i do free upgrades when it makes sense (tall people and passengers-of-size as a priority)
as a tall person with bad knees, i can safely say you’re doing the lord’s work.
You seem like a good person. The world is cruel, especially to those who care.
Heh, thanks. I definitely try.
I can basically guarantee this is just a regular order of nuggets resting on some boxes. I’ve never worked at a McDonald’s, but I have worked a couple fast food joints when I was in school.
You would never have that many nuggets ready to order, that would take like three or four fry baskets, and they would go cold before you sold them. That would also be several pounds of nuggets, and that bag would be soaked with grease and bursting at the seams.
Nothing ever happens.
I’ve worked fast food, my kid currently works at McDs. Under no circumstances is there an entire bag worth of chicken nuggets cooked and sitting in the warmer ready to go. Chicken gets cooked to order.
I mean there’s a reason you can’t take most stories like this at face value on the internet. Or in the coffee room
Yeah, but I often like to headcanon them as real, because it’s more fun that way. It’s low stakes, not too implausible, and it makes me happy to imagine, so I like choosing to take it at face value.
I do that to the relationship stories and IATA etc. stuff
Nothing happens at all…
(This is probably a way too obscure and dated reference to a popular song by a Scottish band from the 90s that nobody on Lemmy will know, but what the hell)
Your piggyback on that meme ironically created an instance of the “you probably haven’t heard of them” one
Also, the bag would look a lot heavier and greasy if it was actually full.
Depends on the location. If they have high volume lunches or dinners they’re likely to have a massive amount. People regularly order 10 piece nuggets and children pretty much only eat nuggets. If you just get 1 family of 4 ordering a 10 piece each that’s already 40. Then you have 6 cars waiting in the drive thru and there’s a line in the lobby.
That’s a lotta nuggets! I believe this man.
Edit: I just ordered 60 nuggets😹
No way. Don’t believe this. Worked for 5 years at a busy McDonald’s. There is NO WAY an entire bag of nuggets would just be ready somewhere. We kept two trays going, each one had about 20 nuggets or so in it max. If this was lunch rush they might have 40 nuggets up at once, but then they were so busy they just dumped them all here.
If it was down time they may be a few available, like 10-20 getting old they need to get rid of anyway. Fine. That’s plausible.
Even end of day you don’t have a bag of nuggets of waste. Of you did your supervisor would be pissed at you for mismanaging your rotation so poorly over the day.
Zero way this is real. Dude clearly dumped a few on top of a full bag to get internet clout.
Yeah I found it a bit fishy too. Only because I was a fat ass who tried to order 60 nuggets, and the cashier said. “um… One moment.” And had to run around to see if they could make it.
I could see quitting guy slowly putting extra nuggies in a bag for himself over the course of the day and decided to hand it over to dog dude because he liked the name ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ahh but you missed the part where the totally-real guy said he was giving free shit away like crazy, and thus he was making extra specifically to do this
That’s true, the totally real guy did go to the back, make 5-6 bags of nuggets in the 4 fryers which take about 5 mins each, and no one else who worked there stopped him or called him out on it.
Like seriously, unless it was a supervisor/manager (unlikely), they would have just been kicked out of the store.
Yep. Same thought. I’ve only seen so many in rare occasions, like for a birthdays or stuff like that.
And they aren’t cooked because the person on the cash says so, they are called by the people on the prep table based on screen orders.
Nice story, but hella suspicious.
I wonder what would happen if a dog ate its own body weight in chicken nuggets
He’d be an outside dog for at least 24hrs lol
Probably similar to what would happen if you ate the equivalent of your own body weight. Try it!
Hmmm. What dipping sauce are we talking?
“we’re going to need a bigger
boatdip!”
He’d probably be dead.
McDonald’s has hats?!
Yeah visors. You guys don’t have it?

I don’t go to McDonald’s enough to know what they wear
The workers wear hats. I’m guessing he means one of those
Nah fam gimmie one of them headsets so I can cosplay as ATC. CHK Victor Juliet three, three, niner, you are cleared for approach on runway seven, bearing one two, zero, over CHK.
You probably shouldn’t have the plane approach the runway at a 50-degree angle.
Give me a break it’s my first day!
Sounds like a free advertisement for a fast food chain.
Oh no, they would never want this:
-
Employee doing something to spite the company
-
Employee having a mind and soul that isn’t 1 million % company loyalty
-
Person getting something free that’s off menu and not based on some larger sob story.
-
Enough nuggets to kill that dog twice
Nevertheless, that is how advertisement works: Something perceived as positive + brand name (even if the two things are not directly related) = plus value for the brand.
The fact that this post is widely share right now on different social media is 10000x more valuable for this fast food chain then 20$ of nuggets.
Edit: I totally forgot there was a full image of a place at the top of the image. I think that’s enough to just…well, i dont trust it either.
