Man I wish the McDonald’s goth baddie would degrade me.
Goth Baddie: Let me guess. 20 McNuggets again?
going out of my way to be as disrespectful as possible so she spits in my food
I have a cashapp and can dress up to degrade you in a McDonald’s hat.
It just isn’t the same without genuine contempt.
Who said there wouldn’t be contempt?
Goth baddie: flips you off for no particular reason
She doesn’t look healthy.
Have you never seen a goth before?
IRL, no.
Kudos to you for being honest.
The Goth style tends to try to look like you are dead or undead as the case sometimes may be.

Or trolling, it’s difficult to tell sometimes. Some of the evolutions of goths includes norm-core style and IDGAFism.
Nothing is healthy in McDonald’s
Because the W stands for women?
Wackdonalds
She’s hitting on you.
They’re practically married with 3 kids at this point
she shitting on you
Veggie burger is the issue there. You always get extra wait with veggie options unfortunately.
Can confirm. Sometimes I’ll order one, only for them to go check and come back to say “Oh, I guess we don’t actually have any.”
I’m gluten free due to allergy and the amount of times they say “oh we don’t have the gluten free option” is staggering. I mean I know I should eat at home 99% of the time, but I wanna go out sometimes…
As a vegan I feel your pain and we share a common foe
Oh wow. At least this never happened to me. It can always get worse I guess
Its kinda crazy because in reality its by far the cheapest, but lobbyist groups have pushed so fucking hard for meat that often meat options are cheaper, due to insane inertia and gargantuan subsidies.
Its not even limited to one country.
Looks like she’s flirting
Meet cute?
No, he’s vegetarian
There is a sign at Portillo’s (Midwestern hot dog chain) that says something along the lines of, “your number is just an identifier and might not be called in order.”
Presumably that’s because they give out food in whatever order they’re finished, so 224 is going to go out before 221, 222, and 223 if it’s just, like, a cookie and the others are all full meals for families of four.
Stop going to your local multinational corporation for cardboard “food”.
Okay, but then where am I going to meet a 10/10 Goth Baddie who flirts with me when I order?
If that girl works there nothing could stop me I’m down bad
It amazes me how punk died rolled over and shit out the corpo funded goth.
punk didn’t die. punk got old. punk got married, had kids. punk has a fucking double mortgage because punk had to send its kids to college.
punk had to play ball because the rest if the world abandoned punk because it “had a bad attitude” whatever that fucking means.
when the world is ready, punk will step up and be the first one with a fucking brick in hand screaming into the deep listless corporate abyss.
I’m sorry to burst your suburban family bubble but other ideologies that aren’t connected to fashion have and stayed alive with new recruits; Antifa, Marxism, Squatters, Vegans - have all been at it fighting on their angles where punk left off.
It was the cost of hair spray for those giant mowhawks that finally did punk in.
Well you are insufferable.
Not wrong, just insufferable.
i have food allergies. when i’m traveling, sometimes the local multinational corporation is the only place i can get reliably safe food and we’re not really willing to drive all over a new town trying to find a safe food truck in the middle of a road trip. consistency across the chain is a valuable selling point. but yeah, i agree with you in general.
For me it’s a guilty pleasure. I don’t go often but I know exactly what I’m getting when I do. It’s fairly consistent.
What’s not consistent is the pricing. Holy shit they’ve gotten expensive. Nice local places can be cheaper nowadays… If you’re local enough to know where to look.
oh yeah, our family ate at one of the local taquerias (our favorite went to shit so we’re exploring them all again) and the whole family ate for less at the taqueria than it costs the teenager to eat at taco bell. idk what’s up with fast food right now but i could wager a solid guess (trying to adjust prices to inflation before that inflation happens. projected inflation i guess)
the ‘nice local places’ around me just raise their prices, too. two or more can eat at a chain fast-food place for the price of one basic lunch at a ‘local’ restaurant.
Ah, unfortunate. Here they’re raising too, but not as fast as the international chains.
Well, you could just, y’know make food at home.
Who says I don’t? If I cook 80 meals at home a month that still leaves space for 10 meals not made at home.
I know. I just hear people complain about how expensive it is. I mean, if you can afford it go for it. But If your budget is stretched to the limit (or beyond) then perhaps consider making food at home. Yes I love fast food, but for what they charge I could get three meals made at home for the comparative cost. (And I find it tastes better too.)
With internet you can ask locals directly for recommendations.
And I’m sure I will when I can travel again. In the past I’ve googled and added “reddit” at the end but that’s getting less and less workable.
what train has your favorite meal car?
Hey, stop dissing on cardboard! It might actually be more nutritious.
Ehhhhhhh as someone who works in the corrugated industry. I’ve seen the massive tanks that hold a myriad of chemicals with odd names they use to make the paper, and then all the chemicals and additives that go into the starch (read: glue) that holds that corrugated board together. Cardboard is probably worse on your health than McDonald’s.
…but just barely.
It’s true, any time you have been slightly inconvenienced in life it was not mere coincidence but rather the targeted action of malicious wage workers against you specifically because they’re definitely that invested in your life.
That was the joke presented in the meme, yes.
I wouldn’t call this a meme but sure.
Yes and I’m saying maybe instead of coddling the modern sense of cosmic self-importance by acceptance through jest, we should instead maybe tell people to like, grow up?
I really don’t see your argument here. The humor in the comic is based entirely on the subversion of expectation. Specifically the implicit understanding that these kinds of minor inconveniences are not the product of intent (malicious or otherwise).
I disagree, the humor in the comic is indulging out irrational feelings that things happen to us as a matter of cosmic consequence. This wouldn’t exist if we didn’t have a stupid internal voice that said to us “they’re doing this to you.”
It’s “I know this isn’t true, but what if?”
The problem is, people and psyche are subtle and nuanced, and by even acknowledging that question, even in jest which seems to point to understanding how silly it is, it effectively helps to legitimize said feeling.
This is the case with a lot of “relatable memes,” tbh.
instead of coddling the modern sense of cosmic self-importance by acceptance through jest
(anyone needing a translation of this admittedly fucking awesome sentence:)
“instead of normalising entitlement with memes”Lol, yes that’s much more succinct, thank you
consign your trepidations to their newly fortified retainers, my auspicious accomplice!
I think they sent you the wrong sleep-hypno tapes…
Forbearance is the watchword, that triumvirate of twinkies merely overwhelmed my resolve!
The only way to take your revenge is to quit your job and take employment at a minimum wage service restaurant, in an effort to revisit the sleight against all those that have offended you.
Anyone who does not start working minimum wage service work in this manner is merely faking their outrage for attention.
Costco, whole pizzaa take 20 minutes or so, I order then go shopping
COSTCO: “Order 221”
me: “do you have 175, it’s pi…”
COSTCO: “Order 221,222”
me: “do you have 17…”
COSTCO: “Order 222”
I’m not mad, they’re super busy and desperately need to get orders off the counter, but they could at least circle back to me after 221 picked up their order.
I’ve started ordering a cookie now when i’m done shopping, they make eye contact with me to give me the cookie and I ask them for the pie(s)
Hey look, it’s my favorite font!
You can really tell by the V in “Veggie Burger”.
I’ve never had strong opinions on fonts, but I do like the way this one looks now that you mention it.
We❤️Kare! 😊
I’m old enough to think it looks better in all it’s 9 pt pixelated glory. But even like this it is great.
(btw your link has a misplaced “)” but Wikipedia saves you)
I’ve now changed my system interface font to this, and it looks great.
That font does kinda slap
2 AM Wikipedia trip time! =D
I’ll have a borger and a large cock
Since I know you’re asking

I want everybody to know that in fast food you are not entitled to a place in line. If you are not physically stuck in the drive-thru line then there’s no real reason to get your food out in exact order. You get your food when it is the most convenient to push out as fast as possible. Sometimes that means somebody ordered before you ordered a way easier meal gets their food first.
Yes, in “fast food”, neither word implies adherence to anything resembling its definition.
Well we try to go in order but if your food is still cooking and the guy behind you can get his food hotter now why wouldn’t we do that?
I don’t blame the workers. At all. 🙇🏼♂️🖖🏼
i actually miss the days when you could walk up to the counter at mcdonalds, see what was already made, and order that if you were in a hurry.
This has become boomer humor btw.
That’s rich, coming from an .ml 🤌🏼
I fail to understand the humour here.
Is there some context required?Have you ever waited in line for an order, with a ticket, and it seemed like you got skipped? I assume that was a coincidence, and probably your order just took a little longer, or the ticket numbers aren’t in order anyway. This comic jokes that it’s intentional to spite you.
And it happens in a particular high frequency to people that ask for unpopular items, like the veggie burger there.
Or the people that ask for unsalted fries so they’re fresh. The people know exactly why you ask, sometimes they get upset with the extra work so they let them cool off anyways.
Which is one of many reasons why I won’t go for fast food anymore.
I’m on a low sodium diet, and have been all of my life because high blood pressure runs in the family. (I started blood pressure meds at 17 despite being an athlete with a great diet)
I used to swing by after work 2 days a week and get fries on my way home, a treat after the 12 hour days (2 days a week were 12 hrs due to how the workflow had to be).
Eventually they started being cold, and like… they aren’t any good cold… haven’t bought fast food in decades as a result, even as a treat, or when on a road trip. If my health is such a problem that you’ll punish me for asking for what I need in order to spend my money with you, you aren’t getting my money ever again.
I get it, they aren’t paid enough to give a fuck and do “extra” work, and I don’t blame the workers. That’s why I didn’t complain about cold food to management, I just stopped spending money there.
I just don’t want salt on my fries. You mean to tell me, they’re secretly judging me as someone trying to hack the fast food ecosystem?!
Sometimes they just take the salted fries, throw them back in the fryer for a few seconds to “wash away the salt” and then give them to you. Now you get slightly older, extra oily fries instead.
This is the same reason I don’t get ice at restaurants. I’ve worked in too many kitchens that had mold in their ice machines.
They found a frozen dead rat in the hotel ice machine my wife’s used to work.
They won’t do that due to dietary/allergy restrictions, that’s asking for a lawsuit.
Happened when I work in fast food.
Are there people allergic to salt?
The customer would tell right away.
Not salt, but that goes against every food handling process, and if you did that once, management would have been informed by the customer.
Sure, some edgy teenagers probably do it once or twice, but they’re not gonna have a job much past that day. There’s a bunch of other “legal” stuff to do, that’s gonna bother them even more.
Or, they just had to cook an entire new batch of fries for your “unsalted” order that you’re going to throw a bunch of salt on anyway. No maliciousness required, that takes time to cook. The two other people in line with you can just get a large fry shoveled out of the already existing batch of fries, you have to wait because you specifically requested them make a new batch of fries.
Should had been unsalted fries that they need to cook from zero if someone ask for them.
I thought it meant to bash people that order veggie at mcd 😂
This frequently happened when I got the quarter pounder deluxe, which has extra vegetables, so maybe it checks out.
Plus, badass goth mommy will happily step on your balls and grind them into the dirt for you.
Weird for that to happen. But it makes sense now.
I can count with my hands, the number of times I’ve had to take a coupon and wait.
Guess it would have been funnier had that actually have happened to me before.Almost any non-chain burger joint operates with numbers.
Even most McDonald’s have even been like this since Covid now too….
This is highly region-specific
Well it’s either a number or a name to call your order when it’s done, and the comic can apply to both.
Lots of places don’t use names so it’s not repeated wrong, it’s more “personal” but only when done right.
My reason is just that I don’t really go to McD etc.
Although I did use to use SubWay, they tend to make and serve right there.I have had the coupon stuff more in hospitals and such
It’s just one of the relatable type comics.
Not too deep, just like a “yea thats happened to me” type meme
So basically a goth version of Max when she sees hipsters
