Seriously? You not only had to use the bathroom but ALSO took a couple of minutes to get a couple sandwiches from McDonald's after stating you were only going to the bathroom? WTF were you thinking? I'm guessing you also wasted precious time washing your hands? SMMFH. Nah, I'm messing with you.
Perhaps he isn't as cool as you thought and perhaps you don't get along as well as thought. Or perhaps he is just one of the thousands of a hole trainers people complain about. Do what you can to finish the training out without stressing about it. Soon you will have your own truck assigned and can stop whenever you want and eat as much Mickey Ds as you want. Its all good, you probably caught him at a bad moment in his life.

I use restroom they have a McDonald’s there I buy 2 sandwiches one for me one for him only took bout 5mins I get inside truck mentor just goes off on me “U said u only had to use the restroom ur playing with my time how are u tired if u get McDonald’s I will throw that **** away and leave u in Laredo TX and keep going playing with my time….I’m my head I was damn I just got u sandwich too I was also thinking will now I know how u really are but my final thought in my head was I just gotta last 2weeks of this and I’m out……but curious am I in the wrong did I like break a fckn truck code or something 🙄
None of us were there so none of us can really speak to what exactly happened. I guess the only thing I'd say is yeah it sounds like he was grumpy but also if he was wanting to get going right away I probably wouldn't have taken the extra time to order a couple sandwiches. My former codriver used to get McD's too when I was just stopping to use the bathroom and it kinda irritated me because I was chomping at the bit to keep going and we'd end up spending like 25 minutes at the truck stop. You're new, no harm no foul but you'll have a better couple of week with him if you try to be efficient with your time. DON'T RUSH lol, I don't mean that. Never rush. Unless you're taking a dump haha. Good luck man and you're absolutely right you just gotta get through the next couple weeks and then you can run your clock however you want.
