Takeaway 'shames' customer with 'passive aggressive' note about her order size

Getting yourself a takeaway from a fast food joint is a real treat and sometimes you really want to go all out on your delicious order.

Whether you love tucking in to a juicy burger or fancy a burrito stuffed to the brim with filling, there's nothing quite as satisfying as your food being ready to pick up.

The last thing you'd expect is to be met with any judgment from the restaurant staff as you eagerly collect your order.

Sadly, this is the exact thing one woman experienced, as she claims that a worker at the Australian fast food chain Hungry Jacks left a passive aggressive note about the size of her order.

Fran Lawrence, from Perth, Australia, posted a photo of the notes on her Twitter page with the caption: "Well this is not a good look @HungryJacksAU.

"Appears your staff in Claremont don't like getting big takeaway orders."

On one of the notes which was allegedly placed on the bag of food read: "This massive order was really inconvenient. Go somewhere else next time. Love you so much xoxo."

On the other one, somebody had noted: "Hey x Why such a big order? Packed with love of course – HJ’s @ Claremont."

Fran could not believe what she was reading and immediately posted it, and the comments have been flooded with people supporting her.

One person wrote: "I get the similar dirty looks when ordering two bacon deluxe £4 meal deals from the app."

While another wrote: "I can say because I work in hospitality, workers should just deal with (the) order and get over themselves."

A third fumed: "The way those notes are written in a passive aggressive manner, I would be concerned eating anything".

Others were less sympathetic as one penned: "It's refreshing to see kids have a real laugh instead of being glued to the keyboard. Endearing and adorable, reminds me of the mischievous fun we used to get up to before phones and internet took over. Have a laugh, people."

The fast food chain reached out to Fran and apologised following her tweet.

A spokesperson told news.com.au: "Hungry Jack's has reached out to the customer following their inquiry regarding a note received with their order.

“Hungry Jack's is investigating the incident and has apologised to the customer.”
