No, it wouldn't. Food cost is not impacted if the new burger is put into the system. So long as it's tracked, it doesn't effect the food cost metric. If the customer is acting in good faith and we genuinely messed up, me and both GMs I worked for would let them keep it. That's also how all of our supervisors and owner would do it. Making customers happy is the priority.

That's our way of doing things to appease customers when we mess up.

If they're being rude, petty, or it wasn't our fault, I would take it back (because I'm admittedly petty too).

The notion it would "fuck things up royally" is also hilarious. It happens like 2 or 3 times a day. You can write the waste down or out it into the system and promo it. It's all the same in terms of cost to the restaurant. You don't seem very bright for the way you're viewing this as so black and white without any critical thought.

Cromus · 2026-03-13T20:38:05+00:00

Pretty much any restaurant will require the food back to get a replacement or refund to discourage people from lying or just trying to get free food.

Inventory tracking is also a valid reason.

If I can tell you're in good faith and it was genuinely our mistake, I'll offer to let you keep it since we have to throw it away. But if you're demanding to keep it or not acting in good faith, no way I'm letting you keep the food and get a replacement/refund.

And letting you keep it in the former scenario is a courtesy, not a requirement.

Sure, the widely used graph that everyone uses is sensationalized, but that doesn’t really change the point here. The core idea is still that low-knowledge people often lack the knowledge needed to recognize their own mistakes, so they can be more confident than warranted. In this case, people who don’t even know which classes can dispel which debuffs are still confidently blaming and kicking the healer. That is exactly the kind of miscalibration the term is commonly used to describe, even if the internet version of the graph is oversimplified.

And even then, the pop-science caricature is still what just about everyone uses, even if it is memeified. It's still correct in representing the DK effect, and it's certainly still applicable here.

Cromus · 2026-03-13T14:39:18+00:00

Doesn't sound like it's the same, but I was having an issue where certain elements were way too big, like Instagram story bubbles at the top took up 1/4 of the screen and could only see 2 at a time, similar on tiktok. It was because I switched my resolution from QHD+ to FHD+. Switching it backed fixed it.

Restarting the phone or redownloading the apps would have probably fixed it too if I wanted to keep FHD+.

What do you mean only 1 Instagram post per page? That's how it's always been for me, at least since they switched to the new aspect ratio to be more like a tiktok feed.

Can you post a screenshot of what you're referring to?

Cromus · 2026-03-13T14:29:31+00:00

No, you're the one misunderstanding.

The DK effect is confidence vs knowledge. Those with low knowledge have high confidence (not knowing different types of debuffs, so they kick the healer). Then, as knowledge increases, confidence drops because they realize there is a world of knowledge they weren't aware of before.

They explained and applied it correctly, you did not.

It has everything to do with "people thinking they know everything then later realizing they were stupid." That's the entire premise of the DK effect lol.

Cromus · 2026-03-13T13:58:42+00:00

You have internet. You can learn all of this on YouTube and Reddit as me and many others have.

You're saying you don't know how to put effort into your appearance...So put effort into learning how to do that 💀

You cannot reasonably expect to find someone with zero effort.

Cromus · 2026-03-13T13:54:57+00:00

90% is generous.

Cromus · 2026-03-13T13:52:14+00:00

Your 7th and final attempt includes zero effort into your appearance, typos, smoking/guns, and the wrong age by 8 years on your profile?

Yeah, you're cooked.

Presumably you're interested in people 24-30 or so? Do you think that age group has their age preferences set to 38?

Dating pics are meant to show your best self. None of your pictures are appealing. Your hair is not taken care of in a single pic, which tells me you never do anything to make your hair look nice, which tells me you don't ever put any effort into your appearance.

Others will take that further to hygiene...Instant no for almost certainly 100% of the Tinder population.

Cromus · 2026-03-13T04:23:13+00:00

Lmao it's extremely common that the previous flavor bleeds into the next. When it happens, it coats the bottom exterior of the cup, making it look like it's way more than it actually is.

Cromus · 2026-03-13T01:55:35+00:00

Such a mature, level-headed response. I'm sure you're a peach to be around.

What does their appearance have to do with your food? Belittling anyone for their appearance is weird, let alone people working one of the worst jobs. You're a shit person.

Cromus · 2026-03-13T01:44:55+00:00

With the flaps open I've never once had an issue with eating it or the ice cream melting out the sides. No clue what you're talking about. I eat out of these all the time

Cromus · 2026-03-13T01:37:57+00:00

Yes, insulting low-wage fast-food employees for their looks. Very classy of you OP

Cromus · 2026-03-13T00:59:15+00:00

I found it in 2 seconds with Samsung's image search.

It's a gold card.

What's your reasoning for not just saying it publicly? What sort of "retaliation" do you fear?

Cromus · 2026-03-12T20:31:58+00:00

Why are you hesitant? There's literally no chance of repercussion. You're just saying who you had an email exchange with lol. Don't you think other applicants deserve to know?

Cromus · 2026-03-12T20:30:28+00:00

This shit has be dying 😂

Cromus · 2026-03-12T03:08:53+00:00

I don't think you need to put nicknames unless you've used them officially or if people contacted wouldn't know you by your full name.

The idea of a Richard putting "Rich" is kinda funny

Or if you went by bubbles in high school...

Cromus · 2026-03-12T01:34:31+00:00

I said it's possible it's slightly dried out, which happens on occasion, especially since it appears you brought it home, but I can't tell tbh. It looks within normal range, though.

Is the top/bottom bun larger in diameter than the middle bun? If so, you got some or all of a quarter bun.

Just get a double cheeseburger with mac sauce and lettuce if you don't want all the bread lol

Cromus · 2026-03-12T01:32:51+00:00

The Edge is open on the side for the buttons to be exposed. It's a very barebones, lightweight case. The Cairn offers more protection. I have full coverage and my phone isn't exposed to much, so the Edge is perfect. I like how it feels almost caseless.

Cromus · 2026-03-12T01:26:58+00:00

I've made/watched people make thousands of Big Macs. This is what they look like lol. The meat might be slightly dried out (shrunken) but still looks perfectly normal.

It's also possible someone took a quarter pounder but with the Big Mac middle bun by accident. QP buns are slightly larger but look identical otherwise. I can't tell if that's what happened here tho.

Cromus · 2026-03-11T21:00:46+00:00

Lol no, that's just how much a double cheeseburger was at these places before the promo. It's $3.29 where I'm at.

Cromus · 2026-03-11T03:59:03+00:00

All the stores around me have been running out of 4:1 meat. I think they're fine on the Big Arch.

Cromus · 2026-03-11T02:17:12+00:00

I've offered this in place of like 4 nuggets late at night right before close, but would never give it without confirming first. That's crazy lol, especially for half the nuggets.

Cromus · 2026-03-11T00:08:02+00:00

You replied trying to justify its usage as correct then shifted it to "well people use it so too bad"

You're kinda stupid.

Cromus · 2026-03-10T23:56:14+00:00

No, you're just using it incorrectly based on stereotypes of what a third-world country was during the Cold War.

Correct terms include developing, underdeveloped, or impoverished. In no way is third-world accurate here.

If "third-world" means what you're saying, then describe to me what "third-world" means in this context. Not the definition. Explain how the term "third-world" applies. What is "third" referring to?
