‘Someone’s About To Make Bank’
Some viewers were horrified.
“This is INSANE,” one wrote.
“HELLO THAT’S HUGE,” another added.
“Someone’s about to make BANK,” a third said.
While a fourth suggested, “Take it back and see who it belongs to.”
What To Do If You Find A Foreign Item In Your McDonald’s
On the r/wellthatsucks subreddit, one user shared their identical experience and how they handled it. A large spiral earring was found in their drink, which looked like an iced tea.
“I went to the restaurant and dined in,” they explained. “Took my drink home, sipped on it for quite awhile and discovered an earring at the bottom. Neither myself or my partner wear earrings. Returned to get a refund and the cashier was still there to die in front of me when I showed it to her.”
Earings Become Part Of The Meal
In conversation with another Redditor, the original poster added further details. “I grabbed the manager to ask the employee if she was missing an earring. Her hairstyle obscured her ears completely,” they wrote.
“Why not ask the employee directly?” the other user said in response.
“In the off chance she were to remove the other earring and deny it,” they explained. “Plus, I wasn’t leaving without a refund.”
Managers Get Blamed, Even When No One Knows
Some users suggested contacting health inspectors. Others said the earring might be part of a promotion. But most just wanted to know who was responsible.
One user said, “You’re NOT supposed to wear jewelry in food service.”
Another added, “I’m so sorry that happened to you.”
Some People Just Want A Refund And A Story
The incident turned into a viral story. People were shocked, but also entertained.
Some joked about the earring being a hidden prize. Others just wanted to know who lost it.
But for the woman who drank it, it was a nightmare. And for the manager, it was a bad day.
And for the earring, it was a strange new life in a soda cup.
