MAN FIRED FROM FAST-FOOD JOB AFTER GIVING CUSTOMERS EXTRA NUGGETS AND REFUSING TO RESPECT THE FRY LINE
MAN FIRED FROM FAST-FOOD JOB AFTER GIVING CUSTOMERS EXTRA NUGGETS AND REFUSING TO RESPECT THE FRY LINE O'Fallon, MO — A 24-year-old fast-food worker was fired after managers discovered he'd allegedly spent months quietly giving customers more food than they actually paid for. Tyler Masch reportedly became a customer favorite by adding two extra chicken nuggets to kids' meals and routinely packing french fry cartons beyond the restaurant's designated portion line. The generosity apparently wasn't occasional. Management estimated Masch had ignored portion-control standards across roughly 400 orders, despite allegedly receiving previous warnings about following company procedures. His customers had a very different opinion. During Masch's final month, 31 customer comment cards reportedly praised him by name, with parents saying their children specifically asked whether "Tyler" was working before ordering. But management allegedly determined the extra food represented repeated violations of portion-control policy and terminated him. The decision quickly divided customers, with some arguing businesses can't allow employees to simply decide how much food customers receive, while others couldn't believe a popular worker could lose his job over a couple of nuggets and an enthusiastic handful of fries. One regular reportedly summed up the outrage perfectly: "He wasn't stealing money. He was committing the crime of actually filling the fry box."
