“I paid $6 for a 10 piece and a medium soda the other day,” user @dicelyy revealed in a comment. “Like that should be $4 max.”
“I went out with friends one night and they got stuff all together and in total it came to $90,” user Gracey (@gmccoy35) wrote.
Some pointed out the possibility of the customer having a large family to feed, citing their own. “When my family would get McDonald’s it would be like 57 and we a family of 6,” one explained.
Other McDonald’s workers shared stories of steep order prices that they rang up, including 30 Happy Meals for $130 and a single customer’s routine order of 15 McChicken sandwiches.
“I had 1 guy come through. his order was $121 bro… apparently ordering for his friends but who knows,” one said.
“Dude people would spend $60-80 everyday like 6-7 customers on my shift when I worked at McDonald’s,” another wrote. “It’s ridiculous.”
According to other workers, such expensive orders are standard at other fast-food chains. “When I worked at dunkin someone spent $70 one time at 6am,” user @libragirlmichi shared.
Viewers also commented on the “embarrassing” nature of reading the order total to the customer.
“When I did to-gos at my work I hated saying the price,” user @evegarson8 wrote.
