And $500. Then doubled it when she declined Lol! How does a food-service company like Micky D’s offer a value meal in exchange for mucus in a customer’s coffee? Sorry for the inconvenience, here’s a couple of value meals. Wtf?

I got sick. Two happy meals and $500. Yet, she got Covid and could have gotten something a lot worse. I think the employee should have been criminally prosecuted.

Lol @ happy meal. It was a value meal they offered her. Happy meals are for kids.

I was the group leader for the English Court at the Texas Renaissance Festival (they did away with courts this year; Henry VIII and I will still be there!). After casting every year, we would meet for a celebratory dinner in an English/British themed restaurant or pub. We decided to go to the Hobbit Cafe in Houston. I made the group reservation 2 weeks in advance. The day before they called to confirm; I did so, no problem. They called again the day of; I confirmed. When I arrived ( a little early because that is just how I roll), they informed me that they could not do individual checks. No problem; as members came in, I told them, in case they needed to get cash from an ATM. We waited, and then a manager came over and asked to speak to me. He proceeded to lecture me on how to behave, and that they were short-staffed, and basically light into me. I hasten to add we were not loud, we were not rude, we were quietly waiting for our table. When I started to say I understood, he shouted "NO! You do not.", totally discounting the idea that I might have any experience in the industry. Meanwhile rowdy Astros fans were coming in and being seated. If you knew me, you'd know how absolutely ridiculous the idea that I don't know how to behave in a restaurant is (and it's not like a hamburger place is fine dining). SO - we conferenced, and decided that we wouldn't be giving them our custom. We went to Grace's, which although they have a stated policy of no individual checks, were more than happy to do it for us, and the food was FABULOUS. If you are in Houston, go to Grace's! https://gracesonkirby.com/

Glad you brought up McDonalds Restaurants. Anyone else recall the free-for-all Bad Restaurant Day that was McDonalds very first day of their very first TeenyBeany Happy Meal promotion?

Customers were ordering, then quickly throwing away, perfectly good Happy Meal food for the sake of greedily grabbing the Teeny Beany Toy and rapidly returning to the order lines for moremoremore Meals/Beanys.

Even driving into/near a McDonalds driveway entrance that day was an experience. And on TeenyBeany Day One, unfortunately, my Bank shared ONE ENTRANCE PATH FOR CARS with a McDonalds BUT they had two seperate parking lots.

At the McDonalds, too many customers in lines snaking outside the restaurant doors blocked car drive-in paths and mobbed any car that managed to squeeze thru, furiously knocking on its windows while screaming, "I NEED a Patty Platypus!!! Who has a Pinky Flamingo Bird??? Who wants to TRADE?!?!"

One frantic TeenyBeany customer not only knocked on my window while screaming, but followed my car to my parking spot AT THE BANK NEXT TO THE MCDONALDS while continuing to complain about her TeenyBeany Trade drama/dilemma. As I exited my car to go into the bank, she proceeded to yell at me for NOT having a TeenyBeany to trade and for NOT going into the McDonalds!

I may or may not have a bin of teeny beanies... I did eat the food though, and my kids did too.

[carnation]

Those Teeny Beany people scared the snot out of me. Of course, we had absolutely insane people going for the regular-sized ones too. We collected some Beanies but the psychos ruined that for most people.

Y’all got me over here cracking up at the teeny beany (never heard of it) stories Lol!!!

So much this!

Exactly how on earth would you even keep them clean?

When I first saw a BeanieBaby it was Humphrey The Camel, and I thought, "who wants to buy a toy camel that has no humps?".

Totally unrelated, but we've been trying to declutter lately. I found a box of beanie babies & teeny beanies today, and immediately thought of y'all!
