So for those that didn't know McDonald's brought back its Szechuan sauce that it had to promote Mulan. Only catches are, it was only for today, at select stores, and they only had around 20, which wasn't known til shortly before. They were also supposed to start being sold until 2:00 P.M., but apparently places were selling them early and some that were supposed to have them didn't at all.
Hell they should have just given all the McDonalds locations the recipe and they could have just made huge vats of it on site....but still its not as big of a crisis as some of these people are making it out to be.
It is actually kind of as big as a problem as it's being made out to be. No, the sauce isn't that good, but it's the fact that this was false advertising in multiple ways. I think the people who waited in line or drove for hours have more than enough right to be pretty angry. I myself drove in inclement weather with cargo vulnerable to rain, only to be lied to by an employee at one store who said they never got it when they just sold out 2 hours early, and a manager at another who said a nearby one had them. I think I've got a good reason to be a little upset.
But why would anyone drive for hours for such a ridiculous thing in the first place. Also why not put the cargo vulnerable to rain inside the vehicle if it was rainy weather and you decide to make a drive. OmG the wold is ending because you decided to keep cargo vulneralbe to rain outside while driving to Mcdonalds for sauce taking your frusteration out on employees who probably had no idea what was even going on...its a failure on the corporate level for not providing enough of this ridiculous sauce to all the mcdonalds locations....yet who gets all the anger and abuse thrown at them? the freaking employees who actually have to put up with sh*tty customers all day in the first place.
Sorry but the people working there trying to make a living don't deserve that, go protest at the freaking Mcdonalds corporate headquarters rather than treating the employees like crap because you're not satisfied with something they can't do anything about.
The anger at the employees is because they were the ones who gave it away early or stole it for themselves. One of them also lied to me and I heard others have as well. I can see why the anger would be directed at them.
As for the cargo thing, it was a dresser that I had to set in my truck bed. Obviously I couldn't just put it in the front. Yes, I know that part is on me, but still made me more frustrated that it was for nothing.
On a positive note and as expected, the sauce is coming back again for winter. I guess it all worked out in the end.
