So I eat McDonald’s for lunch roughly 3-4 times per week. Before anyone gets on my rear end, I eat healthy the rest of the time. It’s close to work and easy so whatever.

My usual order is a large Big Mac meal with a side of fries & whatever speciality item they have. For the last month, it’s been cheese melts.

So today I go to order and they say “sorry were out of cheese melts.” I calmly pointed out that they were still listed on the menu. They tell me it’s a limited promotion item. I insist as it’s still on the menu, they are required by law to serve it (false advertising is quite strict where I live.) they continue to insist they’re all gone.

By now I’m getting angry but still keeping my cool. Finally I said “fine instead of cheese melts I’ll take chicken selects.” Which I didn’t really want.

I told the employee they shouldn’t mislead customers and that it threw off my day, and that they should apologize, which they didn’t.

My friend thinks I was OTT; I disagree because I was calm and didn’t yell and because I was right about not advertising poo poo you don’t have.

Edit because I feel like people are getting the wrong idea already. I DID NOT YELL OR THREATEN. I simply stated facts, LAW, about advertising. It’s not like I was going to sue them for fucks sake.

And yeah at the end of the day I always get a Big Mac and cheese melts, and today I had to have a Big Mac and chicken selects and I don’t even like chicken that much.

I kept calm throughout the whole thing, may have held up the line for like two minutes but hardly anyone was behind me and nobody’s day was messed up except mine

Edit again: I just want to point out I’m in the U.K., so the cashier is not a “minimum wage employee” and they’re actually paid a decent salary.

EDIT AGAIN - I feel like nobody is actually understanding what happened I DID NOT YELL OR THREATEN. I get cheese melts 4x per week, if they were going to stop serving them I would have appreciated if they said “hey Hamburglar just so you know these are going away soon” so I could prepare. It’s poo poo working all day and being hungry and thinking you’re gonna get one thing and not getting it.

Also the employee wasn’t some kid, she was middle aged, making a decent salary and basically sneered at me when she said it.

LAST EDIT - Jesus gently caress! No I wasn’t expecting cheese melts to magically appear; I just wanted to get MY POINT ACROSS to make sure it doesn’t happen to anyone else, or me again

AITA?

EDIT: ok first of all I’m seeing some fat shaming posts which I believe is also against the rules of this sub, but I’m going to take the high road and not report. My body size has nothing to do with anything.

I lowballed how often I go - it’s more like 5 times per week ONLY BECAUSE it’s literally in the same shopping centre as where I work. If I go that often, they know me and my usual order and could warn me.

When I say it threw off my day: I have 30 minutes for lunch. If I had known they’d be out of melts, I would’ve gone to Burger King or Pizza Hut. So yeah I was annoyed having to wait in the queue for like 10 minutes, order, and have them be out of what I wanted.

I have a situation I’m very confused about. My husband and I were married for 31 years. We didn’t have sex for the last 15 years. I shopped and overate to compensate. He was sick for the past five years and very, very sick in the last year. He recently passed away. I started having sexual feelings some time last year. In the past year, we had four caregivers for my husband. The last person to care for him was someone I knew for about a year. “Mark” took excellent care of my husband and helped me out by cleaning the house and doing some general chores. We were both present when my husband died at home. My husband and I loved this person and he loved us in return. Mark held me up at the funeral because I felt pretty shaky and we cried in each other’s arms many times. He promised my husband that he would continue to live here and take care of me.

This person is the most caring person I have ever met in my life. I’m 73 but feel about 50, and he is 38. His life has been terrible, and he has several health problems. I planned several conversations to let him know how I felt and never had the nerve to say anything. I tell him he’s awesome, and I wish I were 30 years younger. One day we were giving each other a hug and I blurted out that I would try to seduce him, but I didn’t want to ruin our friendship. Mark replied that he would be open to that. He said that neither his mother nor his ex-wives ever treated him as well as I do.

We have not done the deed. Mark is very shy, and I don’t have much experience with other men. He sent me a picture of his erect penis. I’ve done research on that and realize that may mean that he is really interested because men think their penises are special, great, etc. We’ve had discussions about whether, if we had sex, it would mess either of us up more than we already are. Also, when this phase is over, who is going to feel worse and who would feel jealous when we found someone else? I am in a peculiar position because I’m the one with the money now and he doesn’t have any, but I don’t think less of him because of that. He has a good heart and I love him for that. Could you give me some advice on how to proceed?


—Love After Grief


Dear Love After Grief,

You love him and he’s the most caring person you’ve ever met in your life. Sounds like someone worth having sex with to me. Don’t get bogged down in worry. Age discrepancy only matters when it matters (such as in cases of a party being underage or age-related attraction issues). You’re both OK with the decades between you, and weirder things have happened than a 73-year-old hooking up with a 38-year-old. And yes, the dick pic means he’s interested, and that not only does he think his penis is special, great, etc., but he hopes you do, too. Do you?

It can feel dicey getting into something with someone you have considered a friend, but that circumstance can also make for a beautiful romance. You already have a foundation of respect and care to build on. Who says this phase has to ever end? Who says you have to go on to find someone else? Why can’t this just be the next chapter in your lives—one in which those lives become one shared life? One could abort any blossoming relationship by considering the havoc that a breakup would likely wreak, but if everyone did that, all love would be unrequited, and who wants to live in that world? ’Tis better to have loved and lost, etc.

This is an opportunity that could be very good for both of you. Relax and lean into it, avoiding and ignoring whatever anxiety you may feel to the best of your ability. Don’t let him take you for a ride (beyond the sexual sort)—make sure you keep your finances secure. I wouldn’t recommend sharing your PIN with him, but there’s nothing wrong with sharing your wealth with someone that you care about who has far less. He has a good heart, you say, and I suspect you do as well. Let him have it.
