I was rude to a server.. should I go back and apologise?

[Anonymous]

So this is really embarrassing. I can’t believe I behaved this way.

I was in McDonalds, waited like 35 mins for my food and the server like cleared it off the board as if it’s ready and just kept ignoring me. I was really chill for most of this time.
Then another server comes along, all these men start shouting, he helps them, at this point I’m like HELLO.
And this poor guy actually tries to help me but is bagging up an order that’s not mine..
finally, we realise my food has been in a bag on the side. All cold.
I got annoyed, asked for my money back.
They gave it to me.
Exactly what I wanted.
Was that good enough? No, my childish self, knocked the bag of cold food off the counter as I left.
And walked out.
In shame quite frankly.
And I can’t let it go.
Do I go back tomorrow and apologise?
Or am I trying to just make it even more about me by taking up their time to deal with my issues?
Should I just let it go?
I should mention, there is also a slight language barrier between myself and the them.

Thanks for the answers guys. I went back.
With an apology and a box of chocolates.
I saw the same guy that actually tried to help me. He said it’s ok and he understood me.
My country is at war rn and it’s a hard time for everyone.
Hopefully this will teach me to never do it again (I’m a little strapped for cash atm so can’t be buying apology chocolates all the time 😅)

You know what? You have no need to but that’s a class act if you did. That poor dude is working at a fast food joint for nowhere near enough and probably had nothing to do with your food. Or heck, he just had a bad day. It’s cool to just clear that up and set it right. Good karma has a way of paying it forward.

personally with all of that time wasted, i would have asked them to make me a new one instead. i mean, you're already there. i can understand the frustrations tho. i would have felt the same.

as for the language barrier thing and going back, don't bother. i'm sure they deal with this every day. just do better next time is the only advice i can give.

Never hurts to apologize, but will make you feel better... I've done it when I was wrong. Be the bigger person, and sorry you regret being rude. What's the harm?

You waited 35 minutes, and you're wondering if you should apologize? I sure as hell wouldn't.

They are trying their best I would apologize.
