I gave a thumbs up to a jogger last week. Sweltering heat and an older gentleman was pounding pavement like he was born to do it. He waved and gave me a smile.

thats a bit different from a person commenting about the food you have ordered . i have worked in alot of food places and to comment on a persons choice of meal because they are obese is the rudest and inappropriate thing you can do

thats not the way you intended it ,you said it because you thought she was making changes in her diet , not because the food choice was a tasty choice to make you commented on the portion size and that is rude . saying a meal choice is a good choice because it tastes good is different the intent is different

but i guess it would be ok to say great choice to a thin person if they ordered salad ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

no i would never ever comment on any ones choice of food that was a customer regardless of size .
and if i ever did that would be wrong all personal thoughts unless related to that person should be kept to yourself when its a customer

Really when all of the BK training guides say that once per order you should say something personal like, "that's a great choice," or "that's my favorite"??? It sucks but that's what they want you to do...

I'm glad you enjoy judging me. I didn't mean it to be rude and she didn't take it to be rude.

I hope you have a great day!

Awe that is nice

I feel the same way It's just very sad when people take your compassion and attempted encouragement in a negative way, although I'm sure later on if someone had taken the wrong way they would mull it over in their minds and see your intentions were good. Keep on being you, your awesome! We need more people like you

you wanted peoples oppinions you shouldn,t post if your not prepared for the answers you were lucky this time the lady did not take offense what would you have done if she had, what you intended and how the customer takes is 2 different things , yes you seem a good person i,m not knocking that , but maybe keep your joy a little bit to yourself because next time you may not get the reaction you want

And the moral is, never say anything nice to anyone because they might be the sort of person that deliberately takes things the wrong way.

Aren't you a treat...

I might not always get the reaction I want but that doesn't change who I am. I let what I do be an extension of who I am. I will no longer have customers anyway, lol.

I love these posts. The poster starts attacking the OP and then when the poster gets pushed back, he turns it into the OP's fault. "Don't post if you don't want to hear my opnion." Blah blah blah

He's just being deliberately obtuse and he knows it. It doesn't bother me. He gets to have his opinion

Now I'm wondering what the peeps think when I go to Jack n the Box & pick up 40 tacos on my way home..

LMAO one night the guy at the counter leaned in & told me quietly "We have a new girl working the prep table - she's going to freak when I key this order in" and he smiled - punched it in and we immediately heard..

"OH NO.. THAT has to be a MISTAKE!! 40 TACOS! Quit messing with me John."

I am pretty sure they know I'm not eating ALL of those - I think I get one or two before the teenager snarls at me and threatens me with the nerf gun.

Ok then SHE is being deliberately obtuse. Still, I hope you find some sunshine in your life.

There's nothing wrong with Burger King.........it's all about choices, imho.

And GoodMo? I think it was awesome that you noticed and commented - being that you'd seen her many times before, and maybe what you said will influence her to make better choices EVERY day!

I don't often comment on other people's behavior, especially if I don't know them............but a smile on a hiking trail or a comment while walking can often make a person's day :bigsmile:

KEEP encouraging one another!!

I also don't feel like being punched in the face if I hug a random stranger... also even those people wearing free hug T-shirts don't even seem to want hugs

People who want to be offended, will always find a way. The "I got this compliment, but now I'm offended" threads here are depressing.

So, g00dm0rning: keep on being cheerful. Here's what I do know - the people that you cheer up with your attitude, will far outweigh the people that were going to be butthurt anyway.

I'm not being negative. I started this topic. I'm just worried about the repercussions of hugging random people. That's all.

What I said to you was really meant much more lighthearted than it seems to have sounded.
