The rather heartbreaking tweet came from the social media manager of the famous American food chain who wrote that people only enquired about the return of “McRib” and did not ask him about his wellbeing. The tweet resonated with many others in a similar position, came out to express how consumers were only concerned with Cheesy bites, shampoo pumps and IMB computers.
it’s always “when is the McRib coming back” and never “how are you doing person who runs the McDonald’s account”

'We feel you'
While other food outlets and brands like Oreo and Grubhub joined in share similar problems, hair care brand Pantene wrote that people only asked them about the Shampoo pump. Meanwhile, stepping into the rescue, X-box said that the media manager could talk to him about anything.

Our DMs are full of “you sent me utensils for 4 but I ordered for one” but never “how was your day Grubhub?” and you know what, it hurts.

Not us crying at the accuracy. It's always "why'd you get rid of that shampoo pump" not "doing anything fun this weekend?"

P.S. We're ready for Ronald to drop his haircare routine
We feel you… it’s always “when will IBM make computers again” never “how’s it going social media person”
