Some years ago, he was toiling away at a place that rhymes with McNaldos – yes, the iconic establishment known for selling heart attacks disguised as food and starring an unsettling clown as its mascot.

This story takes him back to those memorable days when he spent six long years in that McMadhouse. He’s got a treasure trove of tales, but one stands out because it unfolded immediately after he decided to quit.
A Simple Ask

The reason for his epic exit? Well, it all came down to a simple request – he asked for permission to leave through an alternative exit due to a terrifying situation involving his abusive ex.

Every day, he would arrive at work via an Uber, avoiding the nightmare of encountering his menacing ex waiting for him in the lobby. But alas, like clockwork, she would waltz in, place an order, and then settle in for hours, glaring at him with a look that could turn ice to fire.
Begging Supervisors

The situation was intense and stressful, and he desperately pleaded with his supervisors for an entire month. His request was simple – just let him use another door to make a quick escape after his shift and avoid this daily horror.
Constantly Dismissed

You’d think they’d be understanding, right? Nope. he got nothing but excuses and dismissive responses. He was repeatedly told that he was overreacting and that the problem wasn’t as big as he was making it out to be.

He was teetering on the edge, living in constant fear, wondering which day might be the day she’d walk in with something far more dangerous than a menacing look.
An Ultimatum

That’s when he dropped the bomb on his supervisor, Mary – he told her that unless she allowed him to use that alternate exit, he’d quit. You might imagine a reasonable response from her. Sadly, that was not the case. Mary simply laughed in his face.
He Quit

Fast forward about a week, and he made the difficult call – he quit. He also left a polite resignation letter to the higher-ups and the big boss, who thankfully seemed to understand the situation.

After navigating the turbulent waters of unemployment, his phone rang. It’s Mary! Now, for context, let’s establish that Mary is one of the many supervisors he had during his McNaldos tenure. Here’s how the call went:
Mary’s Perspective

Mary said: “Sooooo, when are you coming in? Because you’ve been gone for about a week, and we’re short-staffed. I know the other bosses let you do whatever you like, but I’m putting my foot down! You better be here in 45, or you’re fired!”
A Guilt Trip

He replied: “Uhhhh, remember the last time I worked with you?” She replied: “Yeah! Over a week ago! You can’t keep playing these games, man – this isn’t cute! Your little girlfriend hasn’t been here either, so you can calm down now.”
She Isn’t Getting It

He said: “Yeah, no. I told you that since you couldn’t accommodate my one request, I would quit. I’m even collecting unemployment already...” He waited for her response.

Mary replied: “So…are you coming in or not? Because if you’re not, I’m writing you up, and I’ll make sure you never work anywhere again!” Mary was on a different planet!

Again, he said: “Mary! I. Don’t. Work. For. You. I quit. I quit, and I’m literally collecting unemployment as we speak. What don’t you understand?” That had to work, right?
Appeasing Her

Mary repeated herself. “You have 30 minutes!” Agreeably, he said: “Fine, I’ll be there!” But he didn’t actually go in. He did block Mary’s number, though, and then began enjoying the entertainment of his life – welcoming random coworkers whom Mary sent to his house in an attempt to drag him back to work.
Pointless Visits

Mary was nothing short of a full-fledged nutcase, and his coworkers seemed to get a kick out of the situation, getting paid to walk 45 minutes to his house and just chill.

As for his abusive ex, legal matters eventually took care of that situation, and he has since moved on to a brighter, less creepy chapter in his life. Yet, the memory of that unforgettable conversation with Mary continues to remind him of the fascinating stories that unfold!
Laying the Law

Now, just to clarify, there are certain circumstances where you can still qualify for unemployment benefits, even if you voluntarily quit your job. Domestic violence is one such circumstance. In his case, his workplace had become an unsafe environment due to his abusive ex’s actions. So, in essence, he quit his job due to a dangerous working environment.
