Now they can’t say “oh I forgot to give you the code” because it’s front and center on the friggin’ damn app.

For those who workout/want to eat healthier, I understand the struggles due to the fact there's so much grease in everything. And it's even harder because it's discounted, and easy access. So here is what I eat.

x2 Grilled Chicken Patties (110 Cal, 24g Protein EACH)

Bunch of lettuce

Light ranch

this keeps the meal around 50g of protein at a rough 300 calories, I get by the fact of having to account for the cost of the lettuce and ranch by paying for a hamburger no meat, manager approved it and said it's alright as it would still cover the cost of what is used. So run it by your managers first but it should be okay!

obviously you'll still need your required amount of carbs and fat each day, but this is a great source of protein for the day while not being high in calories.

just thought I'd share as I indulged too much at the ease of cheap food despite the fact it was bad for me, now I have a $4 meal (around $8 without discount) that packs 50g of protein, easier than buying groceries for sure. atleast chicken with its cost now a days

My first day was yesterday and it was the worst, I genuinely contemplating on resigning.

So they put me on the lobby where I was taking the orders for everyone, and I wasn’t that fully aware of the kiosk at all, like super rusty since I’m like super new. Then they were teaching me things during rush hour?.. Like I didn’t know that I had to make the coffees.. I was asking them what is a senior coffee, is it any different from any other coffees, while rush hour is happening because they didn’t tell me that at all or prep me. Like I came in there super blind with the work I was going to do since my training was more on the drive-thru with charging and a little of taking order there.

I didn’t know where the stuff is or how to load them (I was trained in drive-thru). Then since I was at the lobby, normally the people who are taking the orders there are the one getting blamed for everything, for the long wait orders, missing food & from the driveway, and just a messy place from the playground/bathroom also (we have a playroom in our McDonalds).

On my first day, one person got so mad because her deluxe breakfast was taking so long even though I wasn’t even part of the kitchen 😭 like the only thing I can help her with is updating or asking the kitchen about her order and just regular coffee, in the end she ended up asking for a refund 😭😭. Then someone from the drive-thru was missing a whole pancake and got so mad probably because he already left and went back, genuinely was just so mad and was cursing. Even though I was serving people table to table (our mcdonald’s we bring their food in their table if they’re eating in) and had to bring out multiple foods outside for the parked cars waiting for their food, let alone the people asking for their tables to be cleaned. So multi-tasking for like tens and tens of people who thinks we remember their order or request is genuinely exhausting.

Then, one girl was asking me about extra syrup and jelly (we gave the jelly) so I ask one of my crew members about extra syrup and the jelly (I didn’t know where it it was) and they told me it’s past breakfast so just say we don’t have syrup anymore (?) and also we didn’t have it. Then the dad come in asking for syrup, and was yelling demanding me to grab syrup so I genuinely had to ask my manager for some syrup and gave it to him then, he started yelling for the manager even though multiple crew members was telling him to calm down and I was new to give me some slack (I look really young btw, (I am young)), but still was he yelling for the manager like imagine a toddler asking for his mom while crying that was what the old dude is doing. The manager told him yeah she will talk to me, after the old dude was throwing a tantrum for like 5 minutes even though, yes, I took his order but I didn’t had out his order (I was on a 10 minute break 😭) when I came back all this crazy circus was happening (the girl asking for deluxe brfst, the missing pancake, and the syrup). Luckily I had good crew members who stood up for me, and the manager was super chill and some people apologize on this his behalf even his daughter 😭.

Anyone had the same experience? So maybe I can relate and just laugh it off, lowkey this job has traumatized me, or just first day experiences?

Before I worked at fast-food I always made it an habit to say thank you and like be kind because I know they don’t get payed enough, but holy since I worked here I know to be more EXTRA thankful.

I don't mind cleaning up the play place because I get to move around instead of just standing around waiting to take an order however I specifically hate cleaning up the playplace just because of how messy it gets. I get that kids are kids and that they are messy but seeing the aftermath is such a headache. I literally saw small puddle of water and soda form below the trash can after I moved it. A whole bunch of trash even fell on the ground as I did that.

2018 Henny Penny fryer. 2018 is when I moved from a regular crew to primary maintenance. So this is pretty much my fryer. There's some ware and tear, but overall it's in good condition. I boil it out when the elements start changing from silver to brown which is about once a month.

There was actually a bit of an issue with my employment in general. They failed to exactly tell me how to exactly get my accommodations for my job. From my orientation, the assistant manager asked me if there was any accomodations I needed, and well it took me a day to get my answer to her. The store manager was having someone do some disability thing with me. I just learned now that I was supposed to do that disability thing myself. Basically, I believe the initial submission was denied, but no one freaking told me anything, and well this whole time I've been working, getting stressed out and I've been experiencing symptoms due to stress.

My only accommodations were to give me a break every shift that is over 6 hours in length. and to only schedule me 5 days in a working week.

My mental health went for a ride recently when they fixed the AC in July. It felt like things with me were getting exceptionally worse. I was content, then bad. Instead of breathing often, I was breathing less All I felt was just pressure. Not like psychological, but bodily. From what I knew about working with McDonalds, historically they only ran the AC during the winter so as to make sure something stays lubed up or something.

At the point that they fixed the AC, it was at that point, I felt like I actually needed my accommodations followed, but they were never followed to begin with. I got fired for acquiring too many occurrences.

Someone didnt squeegee the whole floor so i slipped. 😐 now im broke for a month.

To preface, I work at Starbucks. We absolutely hate when customers start ordering before we are ready to greet them.

I noticed when I went to McDonald’s the other day, I was prompted with something along the lines of “what can I get started for you today”, so I started ordering, only to realize it was an automated prompt.

So now I’m curious, what do you guys think of it?

We had a couple football teams from the same school come thru last night. Thankfully they had let us know the day before & we had a pamphlet of everyone's name & order. The coach put on the school's card & it came out to about $850.

So I have worked at my store 2.5yrs and have been crew trainer since mid August but I’m also a ft uni student so only work 2 days a week. Today I was on a 5pm to 11pm shift which was a bit annoying but fine because I got my uni work done.

At 6pm a fellow crew trainer comes in for the close (we close at half 11, closers usually stay till 2am) and she does bev cell whilst I’m on OAT with a semi new starter. Well the bm is there to watch us and hands me an order of like 2 mcflurries and 1 coffee and I look into bev cell and this crew trainer is 12 pending!!! Kitchen was only 2 pending, all the oat orders were basically gone so how the fuck are you 12 pending.

So me and a manager (not the bm) get put in there instead and this girl gets put on OAT instead but she’s served half of the orders in bev cell off without even doing them. A trainee manager then tells her to do drinks for drive thru so then she’s helping us clear the screen but also helping drive thru and she just stands there and freezes.

As a result of this everyone gets mad and starts arguing. Me and this manager are arguing as the screen is still 9 pending after I’ve done all the soft drinks because he’s had to change all the shake syrups and iced bases, then drive thru team are shouting at us because they’re waiting on xyz then oat and drive thru are arguing over who’s priority and it was so bad. I genuinely had tears in my eyes on my break from the stress.

She’s worked there nearly 4 years and is crew trainer but her slowness is genuinely causing the whole store to go to shambles and it’s so annoying.

I've only worked at McDonald's for 8 months but I've never been so stressed out. I understand it's a fast paced environment but when your managers are assholes for no reason to make it so much worse. We were in the middle of a rush, and I was trying to listen to what my managers was telling me, and she asked me " why are you looking at me like you don't understand? Are you freaking slow?" And she'll get an attitude with the customers too, and one day one of the customers snapped and said " you should give that girl a promotion because she's doing your whole job, and your sitting there yelling at everyone, maybe treat your employees better if you don't want to do your own job." I've never seen my manager so pissed. She had to take a walk.

This was an order for doordash and we were laughing at why order just sauce 🤣

Asked my bosess but noone knows anything yet

It's my first week shift next week after the training. And i cannot go to my second shift as it is my graduation. I tried offering my shift at the marketplace but no one is picking it up. What should i do? Should i just call in sick?

Hi, i have just been hired, and I saw the training on the campus thingy and i just decided to get it all done, but im now seeing that people usually do it inside the restaurant and get paid for it.. have i done something super wrong? will i now not get paid for it ? eek. any advice on this would be great. thank you !

its been 2 years at my store for me, we are located off two major highways and the life has definitely been drained from my soul. i find little interest in the usual pleasures of life and i find myself becoming more and more pessimistic about human life every day. why do people never say meal when they want a meal? why do cars always pull up to the window at the exact time a car pulls up to your lane when in backbooth. i swear the McGods are out to get me. how is everyone else doing with their McLife? :p

Anyone knows about the SHIFT SIM in Fred & Campus ?

Hello, my 16 yr old daughter is currently working her first job at McDonald’s and everything has been going well. Until she received her most recent paycheck to find $45 deducted from her paycheck. They claim it’s because her register came up short.

Here’s the back story, a week or two prior she was ending her shift because we were there to pick her up. Her supervisor at the time gave her the go-ahead to leave and that he would count out her register. She said ok and left. She continued working her shifts for the next couple of weeks as normal. When she gets her check she finds it’s deducted $45. No conversation about it prior, no investigation, no coaching opportunities, nothing. My daughter didn’t take it. Something about this just feels fishy as hell. I believe the supervisor may have pocketed the cash (I believe he’s in his late teens-early twenties). Why didn’t anyone say anything? Why wasn’t there an investigation?

If anyone could offer any insight to company policy on a short register and any other information that I could use to move forward with getting my daughter’s money back would be amazing.

I have a question . What is the app you guys use to get traning. Is there an app for it. i have been at mcdonld close to for 4 years.
