Anyone work at McDonald's?

[Derplight Sperkle 1,017]

I currently work at Papa Gino's, a pizza chain in the Northeast. It's not too bad but i have worked with people that have also worked at McDonalds and they hated every minute of it

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578]

Nope, I work at a wawa( think along the lines of a Quik-Chek or 7-11) and a movie theater. I don't think I'd be able to handle a fast food job. Way too intense, for me.

[ReverseFaller 2,484]

Nope. I may have to work there for a year though. (If it's the only place that'll hire me that is.)

I used to work in Subway.

 

Why do you ask btw?

 

Tbh McDonalds has a good system for progressing as a worker.

I ask because I'm currently working there. I've made one friend. I'm currently doing everything from dishes to fries and cleaning lobby and playplace.

Night shift is bull.

 

Day shift always has enough workers to keep things smooth, but everything goes to hell in a hand basket during night shift when it gets busy.

 

Not enough workers, too many customers coming through the front and the back...and they hilariously expect each order to be done in under three minutes.

 

I find myself working board, grill and fries at the same time, because the other two with me are taking orders in the front and back and the manager on duty is either in the office or doing something else.

 

At least most of the time I get the managers that let me smoke outside.

 

Were open 24/7. On Fridays and Saturdays, all the drunks from the clubs come our way.

 

I remember taking orders out to a dozen people, each of em unable to really remember what they ordered and others complaining about when their order was going to be done, while the other workers were bustin their asses off in the back.

 

It shouldn't have been hard to see, we were being overwhelmed.

 

And then their are the fights that break out in the lobby, ever so often.

 

Hilarious.

Night shift was hell because I worked till close.

I have worked from 7 until close, 8 until close and twice I had to close and go to work again at 9am.

 

Not a good thing for someone with my medical condition.

What condition is that? I don't think you mentioned it in this thread, or if you did, I missed it.

How are you liking it so far?? I'm not too big of a fan because scheduling and crew training are a joke at my store. Things got bad enough that I ended up quitting but the general manager likes me so she convinced me to come back when I'm on my winter break from college. Hopefully your store is better...

I actually just went through orientation a couple days ago and haven’t yet started. They told me to call them tomorrow about my floor training and schedule and all.

No or any fast food, retails yes. I don't like working in a environment where it's too chaotic and most importantly understaff.  Not ever, since I used to work at a Deli and we're understaff, I feel like a one man army there. I don't mind the busyness overall just as long we got enough staffs.   

[Dreambiscuit 11,208]

Nope. Worked at Taco Bell once, but not McD’s.

I’ve worked there before. It would have been a great job if it weren’t for all the customers.

I'm pretty sure that can be said about most customer service jobs.

I haven't worked there, but I did send in an application before.

If you work at McDonald's, how can you not steal like recipes for BigMac etc?

 

How do they keep these secrets from their employees? Blindfold?

 

Also, how much spit are there in an average burger? The flavor is so precise if you know what I mean?
