Person Running The McDonald’s Twitter Account Shares How Nobody Ever Asks How He’s Doing, Receives Support From Various Famous Brand Accounts
Retail and restaurant work are some of the hardest jobs in the world. It’s not necessarily because of the insane hours and low pay (though that too is an issue) but more because of a particular segment in the business’ client base—the people who have nothing better to do than to be annoying, obnoxious, or flat-out aggressive towards the employees for insignificant things or even for absolutely no reason.
The guy or gal behind the official McDonald’s Twitter account recently had a bit of an emotional meltdown because of this and tweeted a cry for empathy through the official channel. And a vast number of companies and people came out to give some emotional support.
It’s fun when brands are real about things—it’s even more fun they also talk to each other on Twitter

So, around a week ago, the official McDonald’s Twitter account posted what could be called a mini rant mixed in with a plea for empathy. It read: “it’s always ‘when is the McRib coming back’ and never ‘how are you doing, person who runs the McDonald’s account.’”
Now, McDonald’s on Twitter does have a hefty amount of followers—3.6 million, in fact—but I don’t think they ever thought that such a simple request would go a long way.
McDonald’s tweeted a cry for empathy because nobody asked how it’s doing—but Microsoft responded!

It was a brief, but wholesome convo of love and support

One of the first to respond was Microsoft—you know, the ginormous computer software developer founded by the phenomenal Steve J… I mean, Bill Gates.
They posted a simple tweet that acknowledged the McDonald’s social media marketing manager’s existence and showed interest in them: “Dear person who runs the McDonald’s account, how are you doing? All my best, Person who runs the Microsoft account.”
And Microsoft wasn’t the only one to do this as soon a number of other brands jumped in

This led to a very pleasant conversation between the two, with McD’s asking the same and also asking for help with remembering their computer password, to which Microsoft responded that they’d be glad to help. Also, giving a huge shout-out to the McRib.
It wasn’t long until other brands responded to McDonald’s tweet. Starting with xBox, one of Microsoft’s companies, then the likes of Messenger, Instagram, and Facebook, Adobe, Target, HBO, Pantene, and even McDonald’s UK jumped in to share their own gripes and to show support for McD’s!
Some sent their love, others shared what gripes them the most when it comes to people asking questions

Some of the brands included one or two of their own social media management gripes in the tweet. HBO ranted about how everyone’s asking them when House of Dragon is coming out. Facebook complained about everyone asking when dark mode is coming out (it’s out, by the way). IBM is asked when it will start making computers again, and so on and so on.
Heck, even the Foo Fighters responded by saying “Preach. People always yelling ‘Fresh pot!’ and never asking if I’ve cut back.” to which McDonald’s responded “lmk if you need mccafe i can hook you up.”
Even the Foo Fighters responded, to which McD’s replied that they’ll hook them up with coffee

There was also a crowd of people who just had to get on McD’s nerves one last time by asking “So, when’s the McRib coming back?” after literally being told not to say that. However, there was still a huge chunk of people who actually asked the social media manager how they’re doing. And McD took the time to respond. Wholesome all around.
Needless to say, the tweet went viral. Besides it popping up on sites like Imgur and Reddit, the tweet itself was retweeted almost 15,000 times and got over 130,000 likes.
The tweet got a lot of support and was retweeted almost 15k times and got over 130k likes

The entire point of this is to make you think these brands actually have personalities, despite the fact that each tweet is actually written by a team of people and NOT just some lonely person looking for help. This happens so often and I'm shocked more people don't realise it. Watch this entertaining video for more info! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C26Zu8zNvqM (it's by one of my favourite youtubers Jarvis Johnson)
I thoroughly enjoy when big brands/celebrities reply to each other. 😁
I love how he/she is just referred to as "person who runs the McDonald's account".
I'm surprised the snarky Wendy's social media person didn't join the party.
Yes me too! The Wendy’s person always has SNAPPY COMEBACKS!! Love it!!

Sir/ma'am, you have the support of CHB and The Golden Drachma. Have a wonderful day!
I'm dying and I have absolutely no idea but it's probably because this is literally wholesome and sopping with hilariousness at the same time xD
This is awesome!! I will definitely be asking how people are doing more often, the poor people probably have to deal with a LOT of rudeness all day long.
I wasn't even sure these accounts are legit but like something in me just k n o w s that it's beautiful company bonds blooming and forms the perfect combo meal hehe
I want them to have a grand eyeball and just wearing their company shirt. That would be great.
They are just generalizing it... we all don’t think it’s JUST a guy... we think it’s actually McDs, Microsoft, IBM, Uber Eats, Walmart, RE/MAX, Walgreens, Pizza Hut, Xbox, etc.

Yeah, it's not like (most of) these brands screw their employees and/or their customers on a regular basis, treat them in an inhumane way for the sake of profit.

I came out as Straight to my mom. She was so proud of me and told me I was a strong person and that she loves me no matter what.
They Care about each other! It's actually a Pity! Why are people asking about when will the McRib come? Why can't they ask if the Person who runs the McDonalds Account is Ok? What a Cruel World!
