McDonald's (Written on behalf of a friend)

Steve Easterbrook, CEO
McDonald's Corporation
2111 McDonald's Dr.
Oak Brook, IL 60523

Dear Mr. Easterbrook,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my recent experience at the McDonald’s restaurant in Duquesne, PA.

When receiving my order at the drive-through, I checked my bag to see if the ketchup that I had requested was there. It was not, so I simply asked the woman at the window if I could have a few packets. She proceeded to argue with me, insisting that she had given me the packets. I found this confrontation to be uncalled for and upsetting. Ultimately, I left McDonald’s with no ketchup packets whatsoever.

Typically I am a huge fan of McDonald’s, so it is with regret that I have to write this letter. I seriously hope McDonald’s has a higher expectation of customer service than this. Why an employee would need to hector anyone over a matter of a few ketchup packets is beyond me. I hope this is an example of an employee doing the wrong thing rather than a symptom of corporate nickel-and-diming spoiling a one-great company. I’ve heard of BYOB, but I don’t think you want to be the originator of ‘bring your own condiments’.

I will likely visit McDonald’s again, but I will do so with a bad taste in my mouth from this experience.

Sincerely,

Junk email - with emphasis added by me.

TWO SUBJECT LINES of which to be AWARE
this was verified with Snopes and it is REAL. ALSO WENT TO TRUTH OR FICTION, IT’S on their site also. 
PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE you know! 
1.) Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able to fix it! 
If you get an e-mail along the lines of ‘Osama Bin Laden Captured’ or ‘Osama Hanged’, don’t open the Attachment!!!! 
This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel. 
Be considerate & send this warning to whomever you know. 
2.) You should be alert during the next few days: 
Do not open any message with an attached file called ‘Invitation’ regardless of who sent it. 
It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which ‘burns’ the whole hard disc C of your computer!!!! 
This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list, that is why you should send this E-mail to all your contacts. 
It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it. 
If you receive an e-mail called ‘invitation’, even though sent by a friend. Do not open it!!! 
This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. 
This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus.. 
This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where other vital information is kept. 
SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!
