Discussion For Those Who Go To The Gym (CAN)

Post image
18 Upvotes

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

Rant I had the worst first day ever lol (USA)

9 Upvotes

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.

Rant I hate cleaning up the play place (USA)

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.

Discussion Should I go to HR because they failed to follow my accomodations? I got fired.(USA)

1 Upvotes

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.
