McDonald's stole my gloves!

I did a McDonald's shop today, and left my gloves there.

I called later and asked if they had found my gloves. The person who answered the phone said he'd check and asked if he could put me on hiold for a few minutes, so I said sure. He put me on hold, but left the speaker on so I could hear everything. 10 minutes pass and I hear in the background, "I found the gloves." A minute later the same employee I spoke to earlier comes on and says he's sorry, but he couldn't find them.

I'll be in to see the manager about it tomorrow and am wondering what they'll do. In the meantime, I'm somewhat tempted to tell the MSC about it, not that they'd probably care. What do you folks think?

IMHO this has nothing to do with the MSC. Since most McDonalds are franchises you could attempt to contact the owner of that particular Mcdonalds; although I wouldn't hold my breath that someone there will care. The question is: how expensive was the gloves that it is worth pursuing up the chain.

I wouldn't tell the MSC. It's irrevelant but I would definitely tell the manager.

They are dishonest and maybe ripping off the franchise. Who knows!!

The gloves weren't part of the report. I can't see the MSC intervening or even passing it on to the client. It also may be an MSC that will just drop you if they think you are going to become memorable to the client by pursuing the gloves.

Good luck getting your gloves back. My locked bicycle was stolen from the bike rack at one of my local Mickey D's last year. Even though they had five security cameras on that side of the building, they told the police there was no video they could share.

I guess you can write off the lost of the gloves as a business expense on your taxes (or maybe not). IDK. Just thinking out loud.

I had (left) an umbrella at a shop (full service restaurant) I went back and told the hostess where I was seated and where the umbrella was.

She did not really care. She seemed irritated that I wanted my umbrella back. She told me I had to wait. She would not stop to go check and so finally, I walked back to where my table was and found my waitress. She could not find it. It was no-where to be found.

No more umbrella for me...

I just felt they could have had a little more concern, that's all.

No Offense but people/customers leave or lose things all the time. The waitress in a MDs barely want to look at you to take your order, so she rarely will know what you came in the store with. Next time leave one glove on so after you pay and you set the glove on the counter you will remember because that hand will be cold.

Very few FFs places or causal dining have a lost and found. Chalk it up to ---->"the founder" needed more than you did and you were glad to oblige.

The Hostess didn't give a flying rat's patoose about me or what I was standing there for, I just wanted to go back and check the exact spot I left it. The umbrella was brand new and I loved it.

I wasn't asking her to stand on her head and do leg splits. I just wanted to know if it were exactly where I left it....

Since she did not give a crap, I walked over and found someone had taken it....

My main point, SOME people should not be in customer service!

I think StormCloud has a shovel you can borrow if you want to back for your umbrella.

Get SC to go with you and you might even get to see those head-stand leg spits (or leg-stand head splits if you let SC carry the shovel.)

Bwahahahahaha!

Should I hit the Hostess in the head with the shovel? It might make her more caring..

I wonder if the OP ever got the gloves back?

I left my son's hoodie at a BK once, realized it as soon as I got home. When I called, they couldn't have been nicer. They had found it and had put it "in the back" for me. It was there when I went back to collect it.

I hate the Golden Arches.... Apparently I'm not signed up with the MSC that does their shops, but I wouldn't do one unless it paid a princely sum!

I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.

If you follow my suggestion from the other thread the other day, you soon will be.

And no princely sum will you find... except for the occasional bonus job. Every now and then they do pay really well.

But (to me at least) they're way easy. Super easy. Even the timings, if you are adept with your cell phone.

The main problem is what to do with all that food on the eat-in portion. Eat very, very, very slowly. I used to actually like the food, but mystery shopping them 80+ times has cured me of that.

A side benefit of MS'ing, I guess.

Now I bring it home for my brother. He eats anything, and he's currently renting my upstairs.
