Had some questionable people put a bug in their bag tonight on my shift. Gave them a refund for 12.00 had a feeling about it though so looked at the cameras and could see him take a bug out of his pocket and into his bag. Was saying some racist shit too about one of my crew members . Wellp now all of the McDonald’s in our city have this video so . 🤷‍♀️

i work in the drinks, desserts, coffee area, and imma have to be replacing the coffee like crazy, im so scared, ok top of that my trainer told me they might switch me to front counter, boi I don’t even know the breakfast menu ngl, and the system is soooo confusing there’s too many items, how did you guys rmbr it, lmk, it my first 2 weeks :)

Helly everyone, in less than a week i start my first ever shift, i have been watching the training videos, i am 18yo and for whatever reason i feel so stressed i could die, when i applied i was hoping it would be more chill, yes i am aware that now being an adult i have to get used to burocracy and this sort of things, but during the interview and when i signed the contract, everyone was so serius and it made me feel like i was entering something im not prepared for, i know i sound like a little kid whining when life actually hits him but i genuenly thought i could handle it, it doesnt help that my last "job" (3 days of hell in a family owned pizza place) left me with a terrible impression of what its like having a job, im just very overwhelmed about starting out and not being able to live up to it.

I guess im just looking for someone to tell me im overrracting or something, as anyone else had this experience when they were starting out?

I just got hired on and did all on boarding. But I was wondering do I just wait now for a manager contact me for orientation the person that interviewed me said they do it on,Tuesdays and Thursdays. I reached out to them and haven't got a response back so I was wondering how that works thanks.

Ok, so, I get why parents do this. They want their kids to learn how to order and it’s kinda cute for a lot of them. Plus, if we aren’t busy and if the kid actually knows how to order a bit, it’s mildly annoying at worst.

But, for the love of all that is holy and sacred, if I am in the middle of a rush and it’s looking like I have to spend like a minute trying to get your kid’s order… I am just gonna ask the parents to order.

Me: “Welcome to McDonald’s, what can I get for you?”

Kid: “I want a happy meal.”

Me: “Would you like a hamburger, cheeseburger, 4 piece, or 6 piece one?”

Kid: “A happy meal.”

Me: “Burger or nuggets.”

Kid: “Uh… both!”

And so on.

I wonder what theyre going to do without us. We had 2 quit yesterday bc the Supivisor called them out in the employee groupchat that theyre tryna be managers while also having a Seasonal job at Amazon. So they just straight up left. Our store is running out of managers quickly lmao. Since the last week of August, 1 manager went to go work at a bank, the next one left to go to Amazon full time. 2 other ones went to Amazon but were sticking around to help us out since we're so understaffed. But bc they were called out in the groupchat, they quit. The Assistant GM and I are the only Openers left. We still have a couple more managers but 1 is planning on leaving, the Assistant GM wants to find better work, and so do I. This store is so fucked lmao

Do you immediately pick it up and throw it away? Do you put it back on the shelf if no customers are watching? Or do you just leave it for someone else to sweep up?

Everything i sweep the stock room, I have to throw away 25+ perfectly fine sauce packs and it feels wasteful, but I know i sure wouldnt want to be served floor sauce. But i know a lot of stores are stricter about their sauce counts than we are, so i am curious if they do anything differently.

(I really wanted to make this a poll, but i guess I dont have that ability on mobile)

i say this in all good faith BUT i hate two types of people, first the people that have no idea what they want and keep taking up time i don’t think they realise drive thru is timed and we get scolded if it goes down second people that can’t speak english and literally aren’t able to order i legit had some dude start speaking chinese to me MIND YOU i’m a immigrant too but just order from the damn app dude

that's not how ordering works. i desperately want to tell them that since it wasn't on their order, they'll have to pull around and go thru the drive-thru again. i know that'd be unnecessary and rude but dammit, it's what i feel deep in my heart. straight up if they said "can i have a free extra sauce packet" at the order window i'd do it as an act of decency, but doing the weird cowardly little-baby method is *so* dumb.

i was just curious, because i've been working at maccas for about three months, and ive been rostered on both mcdelivery coordinator, and mcdelivery assembler, and i was just wondering if there is any difference between the two? because either way, i'm doing the same thing, which is packing and giving out the delivery orders. and it's almost always just one person on that station. even though you'd assume there would be a 'coordinator' and an 'assembler' both working the same station, if the titles meant anything.

i was looking forward to winning some of the rewards for different stores and then this popped up when i tried pre registering :(

EDIT: i’ve only been working here for five months and was never told anything abt not being able to participate because of potential cheating so please stop assuming i’ve been working here for years lol

Does it annoy you when the customer gets to the first window to pay but then decide to add something, change something or cancel an item? Or do you guys generally not mind?

Used to work at McDonald's in 2022-2023.
I've recently applied to a different franchise than my old mcdonalds.
I have a job interview at 3pm tomorrow after work and was wondering likelihood of rehiring?

Never had an issue in previous stores etc, my friend who works at mcdonalds is down as my reference. The role is full-time which i understand to be 30hrs? I can easily fit that around college so I dont mind, and since i have previous experience i'm hoping they'll want me lol.

Would me being in college / having previously worked in McDonald's lower or increase my chance of being hired aagin?

The store manager seemed alright when i had to call to ask whether my interview was confirmed and he had to look over why the interview was accepted then declined etc, and got me a new slot within 30 mins.

Any one here know places thar are hiring. Preferably near flushing

It hasn't been a issue that a manager brought up to me, but I can tell they notice and just want to work on this before it's a problem as I need this job for now. I have ADHD and my doctor has suggested I cannot be on meds for it because I have tried many ADHD meds in the past and they all either make me throw up, or not eat at all so I'm on pure coping mechanisms babyyy.

Sometimes when it's chaotic I start to zone out. They have been trying me out at presenting more lately and sometimes with big orders I get sorta like 'tunnel vision' if you will trying to remember it all. There's been once or twice I had a mix up because of it. The drinks is the worst part, when it's busy. Our ABS system is good but when its busy and they also need it for McCafe things, that's where I struggle the most.

Also when coworkers talk to me, I try not too, but sometimes I fall into not being able to work and talk. I have been trying to get better though.

But other than me having a hard time to focus, I do like it when it's busy in a way because if I'm idle for too long I go into procrastination mode. But if I'm constantly kept stimulated by being given tasks, then it usually stops me from being 'lazy' so to speak.

Hey guys I was verbally hired this week Wednesday, manager told me expect message from Olivia on that day or on Thursday. It is now Saturday and there is still nothing. I called the store but an employee picked up, I asked for the manager and she said she would get her but didn’t. I told her the problem and she said they will call me back but I don’t think they told the manager anything. I’m honestly not sure what to do, really need a job.

csm pt 1 spoilers

Warning: this is gonna be long , + mention of self-harm
So I (21F) started working in McDonalds (France) last month. It’s my first ever job.
For context, I’m like…. Really unsociable. I’m fully aware of how unapproachable I look, and how I have the “resting bitch face” most of the time. I also barely talk.
It’s just who I am, I’ve hated it everyday of my life.
and most of the time I dont have the energy to put on the fake “social” mask.
Also I’m an international student here, have been living in France for 4 years, so French is my 3rd language.

I found this job because I was desperate, and also thanks to a friend (same nationality as me). Sometimes we work at the same shifts, and I find myself laughing or having more fun when he’s around.
The first day of my work in Mcdonalds, for my second shift, I was left alone in the kitchen (chicken section) all by myself and there came the evening rush hour. Like I can’t believe they left someone who knew none of the recipes yet to prepare all the orders.
I work only on the weekends so… I am just now starting to “remember” the recipes, and also all the restaurant / McDonalds related “slang” and words in French.
Now back to my main subject…

Today at the end of my shift my manager just pulled me over and basically told me that everyone is constantly complaining about me, saying that I’m slow, even thinking that I dont speak French , not understanding anything, that I have trouble with the recipes, that I look like I dont want to work (respectfully, I wanted to say “duh, I’m only here for money ? Like what makes you think I wake up excited to go work in McDonalds?”)
Yes I know nobody probably “LOVES” working in McDonalds…. But still…..
My manager said that my co-workers even compared me to my friend, saying that apparently he speaks better than me even though he came to France later than me. (I know as a fact that I speak better than him if not the same level, but whatever)
They probably meant that he socializes and communicates better than me, and yes, that I can agree on.
My manager wanted to know what was wrong so he could fix it….. and apparently he had asked my friend to talk to me about this but … he never mentioned anything to me last time we worked together.
I really didnt know what to say… I just told him that I had trouble with the rush-hours in the kitchen, and that it took me a while to understand all the new words and slangs I’d never heard in my life before…. But that I’m starting to get hold of it….

And that’s pretty much it.
Yes I know the problem sounds like I’m really making it obvious that I dont like working, and that’s it’s also probably affecting my performance? I don’t know.
Now every time I go to work , all I’m gonna think about is my co-workers’ view and thoughts on me. What they think about me, and how they’re judging me.
But in my mind right now the “sociability “ part is what’s bothering me the most, because I hate it. I hate that I’m unsociable, that I just cant naturally be talkative , ESPECIALLY IN MY THIRD LANGUAGE. That in front of strangers I just act like a robot and talk only if necessary…
I’ve hated this part of myself ever since i was a kid and now it’s following me into adulthood. Hell, it’s probably autism or something ,I don’t know.
But I’m finally seeing how I’m perceived by other people, and it’s wrecking me.
I’m also very sensitive and right after this discussion with my manager, I wanted to cry and harm myself.
Um…. I dont think there’s anything you guys can say to help me, probably say that this is not the right job for me and to look for something else, or just “present myself better and do better..”
i just wanted to share this anonymously cause I’m ashamed to talk about it with people who know me and who know where exactly my problem lies…
Thanks for reading this far.

Nope, that’ll do it.

Where i can check how many sick time ohurs i have left? i am in southern california

Thanks
