‘I tried to order a cookie tote once and he literally said ‘no’’: McDonald’s workers slam customers who order the cookie tote


McDonald’s workers slam customers who order the cookie tote

A McDonald’s employee and TikToker Lily (@lilyjussreall) shared their disdain for preparing “cookie totes” for customers in a viral clip. However, customers in the comments section shared their love for the menu item.

Other users on the app seemed to also have a certain amount of ire directed towards this menu item, presumably for the amount of work it takes to put together—especially when you’re attempting to hit a rhythm of fulfilling numerous customer orders simultaneously.

The TikTok clip features two McDonald’s employees acting out a skit in front of the camera. In the first shot, one of the workers asks a customer, “Welcome to mcdonald’s what can i get for you?”

The video then transitions to the “customer” who says, “Uhh just a cookie tote.”

After the request is made, the clip cuts back to the employee who reacts as if they’ve just heard the worst news they could’ve ever received in the world.

They start to shake their head violently back and forth. It seems that even at one point in the video they’re gripping themselves by the neck to choke themselves out. Her shaking and constant gesticulating drive home one point very clearly—this woman is not happy about fulfilling cookie tote orders.

If you spend enough time on TikTok, you’re bound to come across a slew of offerings restaurants have on the menu but don’t necessarily advertise.

Sometimes, these offerings become the stuff of internet legend and lead to large orders of these trending items. Five Guys experienced it with the grilled cheese cheeseburger, Waffle House with its Waffle breakfast sandwich, and Chick-fil-A with its “secret menu” bucket of ice that comes with a red scooper.

For McDonald’s customers, it’s now the cookie tote, which is a cardboard box filled with 13 of the chain’s signature chocolate chip cookies. According to Mc-Menu, it retails from $3.99 to $6.89, depending on where you’re buying it. You can check out the Cookie Tote on Mickey D’s website here. Although you may not see this option plastered on any of the chain’s menus at its many locations, it’s very much an option.

But it’s not one that employees necessarily enjoy fulfilling, judging by the reaction Lily makes in the clip and other users who responded to the video in its comments section.

“I tried to order a cookie tote once and he literally said ‘no,'” one person said.

Someone else, who appears to be an employee of the chain replied, “So real. the annoyance in my voice as i turn off my headset and yell ‘COOKIE TOTE.'”

“Mann i just started working here I hate cookie totes too,” another wrote.

This was an experience echoed by someone else. “I get too shy to tell the kitchen cookie tote cause they get mad i always have my manager tell them for me,” they said.

@lilyjussreall we dont like cookie totes @taleahh29 #mcdonalds #relatable #repost ♬ original sound – Raihann

Other users’ comments appear to dictate that there are two primary reasons workers roll their eyes in frustration whenever a cookie tote order is placed.

One, kitchen staff workers either forget to put cookies in the oven, meaning that there aren’t any baked goods ready to place inside of a box. So, prepping a cookie tote entails them having to make a whole bunch of cookies and monitor their progress while they juggle a ton of other duties and fulfill other orders, which could ultimately result in a backed-up kitchen workflow.

As one commenter said, “Nah cuz at my McDonald’s when we yell for the kitchen to put in the cookies they NEVER DOOOOO then ur like waiting twice as long.”

However, others pointed to the other possible point of frustration when it comes to Cookie Totes—the act of packing the boxes themselves.

“Or when it’s like 7 happy meals,” one user noted.

Assembling the boxes and ensuring that the correct contents are properly placed inside can be a pain.

TikToker Stephen Patula (@stephen.patula) uploaded a video where they showed the entire process of putting together a cookie tote. In the clip, they place 13 cookies on a tray with wax paper in an oven. After the cookies are warmed up, they use a spatula to scoop them off the tray and into the tote bag, which appears to perfectly fit 13 of the fast food chain’s cookies.

Men are asked what secrets they keep from their spouses, and the answers are surprising

Men sometimes get labeled as the gender more likely to keep secrets for selfish, manipulative purposes. But just as often, men might keep certain things to themselves due to the effects of gender norms: wanting to hide insecurities to appear strong for their families, hoping to shield their partners from hurt, not feeling safe to show emotion, and so on.

Reddit user Teen_dream91 recently asked: “What, if anything, are you unable or unwilling to share fully openly and honestly about yourself with your spouse?” and the answers are a prime example of this.

These long kept secrets—some hilarious, others heartbreaking—a rare candid glimpse into exactly what many men feel compelled to keep bottled up inside.

Check them out below:

“I keep the ceiling fan on at night because she farts in her sleep and it’s so bad it wakes me up.” JackassWhisperer

“When I go grocery shopping, i often buy a fresh rotisserie chicken thigh for myself, and wolf it down on a parkbench on my way home like a homeless caveman. I have no idea why, but it’s my little me-time ritual.” –Sternsson

“My self-doubt is something I conceal. I strive to be her rock and revealing my vulnerabilities seems counterproductive.” –AdhesivenessGlass978

“When she asks to go out with her girlfriends or away on an overnight with some friends, she thinks I’m upset I’m not included. In reality, I’m praising the lord for a day or two alone.” Bobo_Baggins03x

“While I love my spouse deeply, I struggle to fully share my childhood traumas. The memories are painful and sometimes I feel like shielding her from that darkness.” Slight_Policy3133

“My child (18 months) is legitimately well behaved, compliant, and enjoyable to be around when she’s not in the home and it’s just he and I. When she’s around he’s combative, whiney, rude, and a little terror.” D00deitstyler


“Deep down, I really just want to be lazy.I don’t want to go to work, or cook that much, or change the bedding every week, or find part time income streams… Like, in my heart, I just want to lounge about, get a bit drunk and read books or watch youtube videos. I do as much as possible so that she’s comfortable and happy but don’t want to admit that I don’t really WANT to do anything useful.” –LeutzschAKS

“The sheer amount of stress I’m under. I do share, but I can’t articulate how bad it is.” –Herald_of_dooom

“Sometimes the things she says to me in arguments break my heart.” –justVinnyZee

men's psychology

“I served in Iraq and lost my leg. As a result I have severe PTSD…A couple of years after I got out I met my wife. She is an Iraqi Lady and has helped me through the best and worst times. She’s given me beautiful children and a reason to carry on. However…her parents moved from Iraq before she was born. Every time I go to her parents house or there is a wedding on her side of the family I attend whilst suffering in silence. Sweaty palms, heart palpitations, shredding feeling where my leg was etc. It drove me to be extremely disrespectful by secretly carrying a hip flask with spirits and cocaine in as it just took the edge off and made it all manageable. Her parents are extremely religious and alcohol and drugs of any kind are heavily frowned upon and banned from the house.The worst is going to her parents house as so much of the decorations reminds me of the house I got dragged into after stepping on an IED. I keep this hidden because what can I do? Make her choose between family and me? Absolutely not. Prevent my kids from having grandparents and extended family? Absolutely not. My mental health and my foolish decisions at 16 are not going to be any form of potential wedge.” –Greenlid_42

“That I sometimes buy $20 scratchers when I do the shopping and occasionally throw $60 at large Powerball/MegaMillions jackpots even tho I publicly say ‘lotteries are a tax on people who are bad at math.’ I do this because I like to dream of a day we don’t have to work and we can follow our passions.” –wembley

“The fact that she wont let me put any of my hobby stuff (mostly miniatures and random knickknacks) in our shared spaces without it being in an approved location, meanwhile the entire house is her canvas for her aesthetic. Makes me feel really lonely and small sometimes and like she doesn’t care. It’s been a topic of conversation, she just doesn’t get that delegating me a tiny shelf in her curio isn’t the same as letting me actually decorate some.” –Kimblethedwarf

“That she is bad at taking criticism, even about the most minor of things. And even saying so is itself a form of criticism she cannot handle. And this has very much hindered our ability to talk to each other.” Aechzen

“I keep my regrets from her. I worry she’ll think less of me if she knew all my past mistakes.” Suspicious-Factor362

“Literally anything that isn’t within the realm of her personal interests. Otherwise, she makes it clear that she’s not really interested in what interests me. Sometimes I do, because I can’t keep everything to myself forever, but it just feels like I’m a child bothering their parents talking about how cool their toys are.” ChefBillyGoat

“I’m scared of not being able to provide a half decent life for her and my kids. Life’s getting so expensive and challenging.” Arent_they_all

men's psychology

“Sometimes, the food she cooks isn’t great. I will never tell her this because she goes out of her way to cook, and I’m not ungrateful. I can live with bad food that night over her getting upset.” –CaptainAwesome0912

“That if I speak to her the same way she speaks to me she would probably spend her whole day in tears. It’s definitely a case of “familiarity breeds contempt” as she does not speak to any of her friends like this (who come over to help with furniture moving, for example), and occasionally it comes out with her family, but the unfettered torrent of complaints and abuse is reserved only for me, regardless of what I do. It’s like she looks for imperfections and mistakes just to point them out.” –MusicusTitanicus

“How sad I am that my life isn’t a grand adventure but a series of choices i made in order to be able to form and provide for a family…I know there’s adventure and excitement to be had still, but I wanted to continue my family line. And dearly love my family. Anything available in that vein will come at cost to my wife and children. So I’m stuck playing rise through the ranks, build the better mouse trap and look good to the suites for another raise or step up the ladder. It’s going well, but as it goes well it feels more hollow. I could become head honcho, or start my own enterprise and find massive success, it’d still all been to just provide. Collecting wealth is such a boring pursuit, I hate our society.” BodyRevolutionary167

“I let the kids play Roblox beyond their allowed time.” –chelhydra

“She’s always in the way. If she’s in the kitchen when I’m cooking, she’s always standing in front of the next place I need to be. If I’m working outside, she’s always in the next place I’m going to go. If I’m fixing something, she’s always standing right in front of whatever I’m going to be working on next. If I’m trying to leave a room, she’s always in the doorway. I realize she wants to spend time with me, but I really wish she’d just get out of the way when I’m doing something.” –Lonecoon

Federal Experts Talk Bird Flu ‘What Ifs’ in WebMD Live Event

May 16, 2024 – Multiple U.S. agencies are working to contain the recent bird flu outbreak among cattle to prevent further spread to humans (beyond one case reported in early April) and use what we learned before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic to keep farm workers and the general public safe. 

Fingers crossed, the bird flu will be contained and peter out. Or the outbreak could continue to spread among dairy cattle and other animals, threatening the health and livelihoods of farmers and others who work with livestock.

Or the virus could change in a way that makes it easier to infect and spread among people. If this happens, the worst-case scenario could be a new influenza pandemic. 

With so many unknowns, WebMD brought together experts from four federal agencies to talk prevention, monitoring, and what the “what ifs” of bird flu might look like.

Communication with the public “about what we know, what we don’t know, and ways you and your family can stay safe is a priority for us at CDC,” said Nirav D. Shah, MD, JD, the CDC’s principal deputy director. “We at the federal level are responding, and we want the public to be following along.”

People should consult the websites for the CDC, FDA, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) for updates.  

It is essential to not only stay informed, but to seek trusted sources of information, Shah said during “Bird Flu 2024 – What You Need to Know,” an online briefing jointly sponsored by the CDC and WebMD. 

An ‘Experimental Hamburger’

If one take-home message emerged from the event, it was that the threat to the general public remains low. 

The retail milk supply is safe, although consuming raw or unpasteurized milk is not recommended. “While commercial milk supply is safe, we strongly advise against drinking raw milk,” said Donald A. Prater, DVM, acting director for the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

As for other foods, thoroughly cooked eggs are less risky than raw eggs, and the nation’s beef supply remains free of the virus as well.

For years, federal inspectors have purchased and tested meat at retail stores, said Eric Deeble, DVM, USDA deputy assistant secretary for the Office of Congressional Relations. So far, H5N1, the virus behind bird flu, has not been detected in beef. 

The USDA took testing a step further and recently cooked ground beef from dairy cows in their lab. Using what Deeble described as an “experimental hamburger,” the agency showed cooking beef to 165 F or higher kills the virus if it ever becomes necessary.

The federal government now requires all cattle be tested and be free of bird flu virus before crossing any state lines. The government is also reimbursing farmers for veterinary care and loss of business related to the outbreak, and supply personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves, masks, and face shields to workers. 

Vaccination Not Recommended Now

Federal scientists know enough about H5N1 virus to create vaccines against it quickly if the need arises. It’s more about planning ahead at this point. “Vaccines are not part of our response right now,” said David Boucher, PhD, director of infectious diseases preparedness and response at the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response. 

If the virus changes and becomes a bigger threat to people, “we have the building blocks to produce a vaccine,” Boucher added. 

An event attendee asked if the seasonal flu shot offers any protection. “Unfortunately, the flu shot you got last year does not provide great protection from the avian flu,” Shah responded. “It might do a little bit … but that is the vaccine for seasonal flu. This is something more novel.”

Treatments Stockpiled and Ready

Antiviral medications, which if given early in the course of bird flu infection could shorten the severity or duration of illness, are available now, Shah said. The dairy farmer who was infected with bird flu earlier this year responded to oseltamivir (Tamiflu) treatment, for example. 

When it comes to bird flu symptoms, the fact that the only infected person reported so far this year developed pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is interesting, Shah said. Officials would have expected to see more typical seasonal flu symptoms, he added. 

“Influenza is not a new virus,” Boucher said. “With this strain of influenza, we are not seeing any genetic markers associated with resistance to antivirals. That means the antivirals we take for seasonal influenza would also be available if needed to treat H5N1.”

ASPR has stockpiled Tamiflu and three other antivirals. “We do have tens of millions of courses that can be distributed around the country if we need them,” he added.

“Influenza is an enemy we know well,” Boucher said. That is why “we have antivirals ready to go now and many types of PPE.”

Science in Action

The feds intend to stay on the case. They will continue to monitor emergency department visits, lab test orders, and wastewater samples for any changes suggesting a human pandemic risk is growing.

“While we’ve learned a great deal, there are still many things we do not know,” Deeble said. 

Shah added, “As in any outbreak, this is an evolving situation and things can change. What you are seeing now is science in action.”

Let’s take a look at some of the most highly anticipated shows and when and where you can stream them. 

Bridgerton Season 3, Part 1 & 2

Netflix

Netflix: Part 1 on May 16th and Part 2 on June 13th

Bridgerton is a fan favorite among Netflix subscribers, and the third season is FINALLY here! Bridgerton follows a family of siblings who are looking for love during the Regency era in England. This season focuses on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and how their friendship transforms into a bit more, especially with Colin being ready for marriage. Part 1 is available to watch now, and once you binge it you only have to wait a few weeks for Part 2, which releases on June 13th.

Evil Season 4

Paramount+

Paramount+: May 23rd

Evil flies a little under the radar, so if you haven’t watched it already, you should! Centering around a psychologist and a priest-in-training, they investigate the church’s unexplained horrors and haunts. The fourth season is the show’s final season, and the demonic possessions and ghostly cases will be turned up a notch. We get to see Kristen (Katja Herbers), David (Mike Colter), and Ben (Aasif Mandvi) face off against Dr. Leland Townsend (Michael Emerson) and all the families that make up Evil. 

Eric Season 1

Netflix

Netflix: May 30th

A new show out this summer is Eric, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch plays Vincent, a puppeteer who is searching for his missing nine-year-old son. Vincent begins to let the trauma and guilt of his son’s disappearance consume him, so he pushes away everyone except for the puppet his son created named Eric. This is definitely a unique premise we haven’t seen, and Benedict Cumberbatch always delivers. 

The Acolyte Season 1

Disney+

Disney+: June 4th

Star Wars is creating another spin-off series called The Acolyte. The Acolyte follows a crime spree that is occurring and pushing a Jedi Master to reconnect with a former padawan. Of course, this crime spree is triggered by some sinister forces that they may not be ready for. This spin-off is meant to take place about 100 years before Star Wars: Episode 1. 

Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 2

Paramount+

Paramount+: June 6th

Criminal Minds just keeps getting better and better, and after Season 1 of Evolution ended, fans couldn’t wait for the next installment. Season 2 will be busting back onto your TV screens and picking up on the BAU investigating GOLD STAR. While trying to prove the BAU is a necessity to the FBI, they’re also forced to try stopping their most sought-after serial killer in the show’s history. 

Queenie Season 1

Hulu

Hulu: June 7th

Queenie is a new show releasing this June and it is based on the best-selling novel by Candice Carty-Williams of the same name. Queenie (Dionne Brown) is a Jamaican-British woman living in London getting over a very messy break-up with her boyfriend. As we all do, Queenie finds comfort in all of the wrong things and tries to avoid her past. We all know how that typically turns out, so we can expect some great drama and growth from Queenie this summer. 

Presumed Innocent Season 1

Apple TV+

Apple TV+: June 12th

Another new show on the radar is Presumed Innocent, a limited series based on the book by Scott Turow. Set in Chicago, a gruesome murder starts to unravel the Chicago Prosecuting Attorney’s office because the main suspect is Chief Deputy Prosecutor, Rusty Sabich (Jake Gyllenhaal). This show will get messy and it’s full of politics, family, drama, and obsession. 

House of the Dragon Season 2

Max

Max: June 16th

Spin-offs can be a huge hit, which is the case for House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones-inspired show. Season 2 picks up where the first season left off, which was right in the middle of chaos. One family claims their right to the throne by starting a war and another family must prepare for that war while amidst a huge familial loss. It’s tough to say what we can expect from this season since the show and its predecessor are full of twists and turns, so you’ll have to be ready when those episodes drop. 

The Bear Season 3

Hulu

Hulu: June 27th

Yes, chef, we are so excited for season 3 of The Bear to be returning. This Emmy award-winning show picks up after Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) has transformed The Bear from just a local Chicago stand to an upscale dining experience. Tension is high and striving for perfection puts a lot of strain on the restaurant and the people who call it their home and workplace. Season 2 had some explosive and heart-warming moments, so we know what’s on the docket–we just can’t wait to see it. 

Lady in the Lake

Apple TV+

Apple TV+: July 19th

Another new show to look out for is Lady in the Lake, starring Natalie Portman. Portman plays Maddie Schwartz, a Jewish housewife who wants to try her chops as an investigative journalist. The show also follows Cleo Sherwood (Moses Ingram) as she provides for her family in Baltimore and the struggles of life for a Black family in Baltimore. Cleo is murdered and she and Maddie’s paths cross as Maddie tries to figure out what happened. Lady in the Lake sounds twisty and turny, so the intrigue is high!
