Obligatory this happened several years ago but I was reminded of it by the recent post about a guy investigating mysterious sounds in a McDonald's bathroom.

Like many productive teens I worked a mind numbing job enslaved to that sinister clown. One day my boss came back into the kitchen and said he had an extra job doing some cleaning in the kids playground and that whoever did the job for him could have free meals at that Macca's for a week. Naturally the promise of free food and not having to do my actual job for a bit was a tempting offer and I accepted.

That was the fuck up, as I entered the playground a very upset woman with her arm round a young lad with down syndrome hurried out of the restaurant with a look in her eyes that conveyed a thousand apologies at once. As it would turn out, what I was set to be cleaning as a 5m skid mark that said down syndrome lad had left curling it's way from the top of the curly tube slide to the bottom.

Now, that's not so bad u/poo_munch you might say, just go to the top of the slide and pour water down. Yeah, tried that one, I was too big to actually get through the playground to the top of the slide so I had to slowly inch my way up the curly slide with a dam of paper towels to stop the shit water from cascading down the slide into me. All in all I spent about an hour in that shit stained tunnel and left with a profound appreciation for what Andy Dufresne went through at the end of Shawshank redemption.

The real kicker was after I was done my boss added the caveat that I would only get free meals when on shift and the fucker hadn't rostered me on for the rest of the week.

Tldr: Accepted a bonus job from my McDonald's boss for free food and got stuck scrubbing shit out of a slide and then got no free food.
