The other day, I went to see my friend, Dr. Josie Isidro-Lapena, at the Philippine General Hospital for some pains. She was so busy and was running from one meeting to another, and so I had lunch alone at McDonald’s Pedro Gil. My change was supposed to be Php12.94. The cashier gave me Php12.00 and said nothing. After a while, I called her attention and she called her manager to open the cash register and gave me Php1.00. I talked to the manager and told her that this was stealing or hold-up because she took my money right in front of me. All the manager said was: “We tell them that if the change is more than 50 centavos, they must endeavor to give it. If it is less than 50 centavos, they don’t have to give it.” Huh?!?!?!?!? So that is how McDo make a lot of money, by stealing from its customers. Paging Department of Trade & Industry and Bureau of Internal Revenue. They don’t even pay taxes on this because it is not recorded as sales.
