Want to know what's really going on with McDonald's ice cream machines, for example? There's a TikTok for that. Now, a McDonald's employee has exposed a surprising drive-thru fact.

Do you prefer going inside to order or using the drive thru?
TBH I’m a drive thru guy IF available and the line isn’t too long.
Drive thru person.
I definitely walk in!! As it's the Only way to get one's order correct!!! 🤨
Going thru the drive thru if I can, less headache but if it's nicer inside and clean then I'll go inside for a bit lol 🤦🏾♂️
Walk in absolutely. Seems the screw up the order a lot more than when you walk in
I'm just gonna make my conversations 10x more hilarious now that I know this
I’ve been working at McDonald’s off and on (mostly on) for 10 years now. I started when I was 17, I’m 27 now and I’ve been a manager for years. If your McDonald’s only has a single lane for the drive thru, no pictures will be taken.
The purpose of the picture is so we can know which order goes with which car before we take your money. It is almost impossible to see the drivers face in the picture. It is mainly a picture of the car and is taken far away. Nobody’s gonna see what you’re doing
Any company on private property or public for that matter has the right to record video or take pictures of you without you knowing.
the microphone thing is definitely true, i worked in fast food over 20 years ago and that was the case then! it was a lovely treat for the ears to hear a loud diesel engine or screaming kids right off the bat
UGH. I worked drive-thru for DQ for a while and hated when someone wouldn't shut their diesel engine off. Most people were smart enough to, but I couldn't hear if they didn't.
I have to remind my husband that they can hear us at the drive-thru. My son was a manager at Tacobell and said you should hear what people talk about when thy think no one hears them.
You literally enter their property which includes the parking lot. You have no expectation to privacy when your sitting in your car on their property.
Pull shit about hearing our conversations in the car they can bearly hear me when i order i have to basically yell at them 🤣
There are cameras. And a sensor in the drive thru. I can definitely hear everything you say.
As someone who worked for a McDonald’s, I can say that yes that is true and there are eight that say you are on camera. Plus they go away once your order is paid out. It is just to make sure the correct order goes with the correct car lol
I think it's also helpful in the case that someone leaves their card. I can't tell you how many times that happened when I was working fast food
I think hiding the camera is bad
I worked at a Burger King back in 1985, and the whole restaurant could hear everything the minute you pulled up to the speaker. We heard the entire convo back then, lol.
I started the on the whopper board 1978. After some time one of the girls said she would train me to work the drive thru LOL what a night that was. I had them backed up terrible. She left me there no mercy. At the end of the night the manager laughing said I balanced within a dollar. After that I was put on a till when needed.
I mean its a microphone speaker what u expect also the camera thing I'm not surprised it's probably to make sure the rt person gets the rt order especially for those that have to lines that merge into 1. I've seen a few like that & I always wondered how they keep track of who's who with 2 lines
Minus the taking of pictures. This true. The mic never cuts off while your at the menu board. I use to install the system they use
Pictures are taken too.
It's a microphone... of course they can hear you..
You have no expectation of privacy when you are in public.
Thank you, i don't understand how people can't wrap their head around that. I really love it when they say stupid things like a camera at the drive thru is illegal, they are so cute.
Are you kidding? These facts and the public itself are not privacy-related. The restaurant does not offer private bathrooms.
I think they should open up the dining rooms again. A tradition of mine and my wife is to have a dinner together at Mcdonalds before we go Christmas shopping. We have been doing that for our entire marriage of 30 years. Does not look like we will be having that tradition anymore. As for the drive through, I believe they do the best they can with what they have. All of the things they do are to improve the service as best they can. Also, I miss Ronald and all of the characters.
Just don't go to McDonald's simple as that.
But it's so good !
@@maitrehg but there are SO many other BETTER places...
Try something different. You might like it.
French folk have a saying...vive la difference!
Have Google translate it for you.
Learn it.
Know it.
Live it.
Expand your culinary horizons...be free man!
Unshackle your palate from the corporate tapestry of sodium, fat, and hydrogenated oils.
@@daverudnick2153 Vive la différence ! En effet, je vais aussi au Burger King et au Wendy's pour varier un peu !
@@maitrehg Il devrait essayer de la nourriture de différents pays. Un shawarma, un doner, un taco, peut-être des frites avec, euh, de la mayonnaise ? La bonne nourriture est bien plus qu'un hamburger, un hot-dog ou une pizza.
Then there shouldn't be an excuse for wrong orders.
You're surveilled on the street, at the airport, at the bank, at a retail store, at the DMV, in government buildings, office buildings, and your doctor's office.
And people are worried about McDonald's? Are they afraid their Jenny Craig classmates will be presented with the photo evidence and audio recording of their drive thru order?
If you're afraid of being surveilled at the drive-thru, then just go into the restaurant. Oh wait, there's cameras in there too.
I love how people get angry about things like this but literally carry a tracking device with them every day.
Taking pictures is illegal? What about all the people taking pictures of other people with their phone. Laws are useless.
Your picture anywhere in public
The law is, There is no expectation of privacy in public. If you're out in public I can take your picture.
There is no such thing as privacy anymore. Might as well get over it .
As a former employee.....the only reason they park you in drive thru is beacase they don't want to run up there times so instead they will have you wait....by the way I hate my job😑
The employee attitude is that customers should be able to spit out their orders instantly. Screw them!
Why do people think private businesses don’t have the right to monitor their behavior in public spaces on their private property?? Wake up!!
McDonald's needs to just GO OUT OF BUSINESS, they've had their long run !🤢🤭
I go thru McDonalds drive thru every morning in Winter Haven FL. Never a problem. Go ahead, take my picture, get my blood type, ask for my mothers maiden name and the last time I had a bowel movement. Who the hell cares.
You left out cavity search.😂
Who the hell cares. I like that attitude.
In the USA if you can be viewed in public it is legal to take a photograph, as there can be no expectation of privacy. This is what our cops hate.
After ordering at places likes Starbucks where the Def can order at a drive thru window by signing at the box and an employee would turn their camera on to sign to their customer, I kinda already assumed that other drive thrus could at least always hear you. Not really a surprise and the only people getting "anxiety" about this are people that were probably talking shit anyways and just realized that the employees have heard them all along.
Well you better not say nothing bad about your cashier or you shouldn't even eat there lol🤭☮️
I bet the phrase they overhear most is “ hey dude, are my eyes red?”
if the microphones are good enough to hear everything i say, why do they keep getting the order wrong? 😆
Mcdonalds DT cameras and speakers bother you? Yet Facebook and Google listen via your cellphone all day long and and pop up suggestions in your feed boxes everytime you open the apps. We as human beings no long have privacy in our lives if you allow technology in your homes.
We have security cameras at traffic lights, businesses, and are caught by people's cell phones all day long.
Taking pictures of people in public without their permission is NOT illegal. The supreme court has already ruled that you have NO expectation of privacy in PUBLIC. Why do you think the papparazzi get away with taking pics of celebs, I'm pretty sure they don't have permission.
Forget the fact that I’m not able to drive, but I also don’t really care for McDonald’s anymore. Haven’t for a long time. Not saying that other fast food places take your picture or whatever they were doing.
It's not just McDonald's All drive through do this it's to ensure that the customer is not forgotten or ignored 😂
Not a fan of being watched by corporations who I choose to do business with. Especially without my consent.
I'm just glad I don't eat their shit.
4 times in the last 8 years, I immediately vomit that crap out afterwards.
I always knew this. Half of the time, I am so tired I doubt that I say anything of any interest.
So now I dont wanna hear shit about how they cant hear me
I worked at a mcdonalds for a short period of time, one of the worst jobs ever
I go thru the drive thru about once a month to order my usual large fry and small coke and eat it in the parking lot. I eat very healthy but this is my guilty pleasure. I’m usually alone and don’t have any brats in my car which is great. Children aren’t for everyone.
I don’t care if they have a camera. Big fucking deal!
Right
Aint no way your profile pic is a pot leaf and your talking about eating healthy brugh.🤣I know your ass got the munchies ordering the whole menu at 2 am
Felix Martin that profile pic doesn’t indicate my life. I smoke weed but not everyday. I eat healthy with an occasional trip to McDonald’s.
they should have to show you the photos like at the end of the roller coaster lol.
I'm all for AI!.cept fer the one taco bell that got that nice girl always working 😄
I’m just surprised that people would admit to not knowing this or acting like it’s a big deal for the employee to hear your conversation on an automatic speaker. It’s not like your hanging up or picking up a phone. 🤣🤣🤣
This cannot ALL be true. Because when the idiot in front of me is taking forever to decide what kind of hamburger they want to eat, the McD’s worker might ask me what my order is a couple of times. If they took my order and picture they would see me seething while waiting for my large drink while the guy in front of me is trying to figure out if they want McD’s to kill a cow or a chicken.
Lol working at McDonald’s the whole store can also hear you and your kids lol 😝
it's funny when people pull the "i didn't consent to being on camera" card... like.. look around - there are cameras literally everywhere. get used to it and conduct yourself appropriately.
I’m fine as long as the orders aren’t mixed up. I always wondered how they knew which car ordered what when there are two lane drivethrus
No app for any business on my phone for that very reason!!! I also don’t order food online! Btw! Many famous restaurants are on their way out!!! Wait until customers find lab work!!! Lol!
If it was illegal to photograph people at a drive through, it would also be illegal to own surveillance cameras, and so on.
Not for that usage...
Come on people. McDonald’s is it public property it’s PRIVATE property. They can take pictures of you all they want if you don’t want it then don’t go there.
“It’s not legal to take pictures of people if they don’t know”… as they literally drive past multiple cameras on their was too and from the McDonald’s… why people continue to think they have a right to privacy in public or on others property continues to baffle me
There’s one McDonald’s on the West Side of Indianapolis that has so much traffic, that they hire police to direct there parking lot and a security guard. In fact, I been there several times going through the drive thru, the good thing is when, a issue arises at that store front the police are right there and, they do act immediately.
I am never EVER going to McDonalds again as long as they do that pinching the bottom of the fry box crap. I miss the good ol' days of Super Size and getting your money's worth...
They do take a picture of you at the drive through. And no its not illegal because you are on mcdonalds property.
I assumed that was always the case.🤷🏻♀️
The practice of taking pictures for better service is a joke. Taking someone's photo without their permission is illegal. This can lead to a lot of yelling.
People who never considered this as a possibility are generally oblivious consumers. Trying to be kind.
I use to work at McDonalds and just because you pull to the speaker does not mean that we are listening to what you are saying when you first pull in, we are busy. Just an FYI to people who seem to act as if they dont have a phone that tracks you and you take a million selfies, but your worried about McDonalds camera and video. ijs
You are on their private property so you consent to surveillance
Can confirm the sound but everywhere i worked there was no video or pictures taken
...I thought everyone knew this, lol.
There are cameras everywhere
Are people that naive wow
Exactly .. most people dont even know if you go to Walmart the cameras are so advanced they can see you from across the road.
@@DraftAutumn732 Good point actually when you go into many stores the big chains they have cameras that can follow your pupils to see what you're looking at on the shelves which helps them gain position strength and to know what brands you're looking at and what brands you're not it's incredible what exists that people don't know about
After reading all these posts I have come to the conclusion that they are all mine. I've experienced almost everything I've read here. The first time you go through they're nice and you get your meal. If you go through on a regular basis they get to know you and they say hi and how's it going and all of those good little things. I have a diesel truck but I turn it off when I'm at the microphone. Being one of those customers that go through almost every morning I've become familiar to the people working there. So why is it every once in awhile I get somebody else's meal. And every once in awhile the meal I've ordered and actually got is hardly fit to eat. That meal consists of two sausage McMuffins and a large black coffee. How hard is that? All after several times of not getting what I wanted properly I swapped from the closest McDonald's to the next one over. Well that lasted for a while also. Same thing. Familiarity and then poor product. I just found out that I can make a better sausage McMuffin than they produce. It cost me about a buck 40 in materials. The promo I use cost me $4.29 for the whole meal. the only thing I miss is the coffee. When I'm at the microphone giving my order I can see two cameras focused on me. I wonder if they use them for movie blooper things. It doesn't bother me. everywhere you go yout on somebody's camera
So when I pull up to the drive thru I should keep talking about where we should drop the body? How about the planned assalt on the meat market?
Everyone in public is always on a surveillance camera, somewhere, especially in the cities. Plus everybody has a phone.
It went down hill real bad!
We take pictures and here everything
Never saw cameras or at least the McDonald’s where I worked didn’t have that but definitely once you pull up it key in and we can hear you, I worked there back in 2015-2016 so idk if cameras have been involved
So, because McDonald's can monitor and track your internet usage, a future conversation at the drive-thru might go something like this...
Hi, welcome to McDonald's. Bit of a gambling problem there, eh? Did you really expect Cincinnati to cover the spread? Well, at least Amazon is delivering those adult diapers you ordered today. Now, may I take your order please?
Wow stupid people are everywhere....You are out in public. Video cameras are everywhere. Not invasion of privacy in public. Better put on those fake faces people the moment you step out of your house and not just when you are at work.
The McDonald’s I worked at we could not hear them till we hit a button on the headset and it did take pictures of their car. could hardly see the people unless there head was very close to their window.
I can't stand that place!
And employees need to mind the microphones as well I once went into a drive thru and the employee was cussing up a storm
Chick-fil-a doesn't do that. CFA identity people by first name, notates vehicles by color, takes and deliver orders in the drive thru in person. Go CFA!
AS A FORMER MCDONALDS WORKER I DONT DO MCDONALDS AT ALL'
There's cameras everywhere , so what .
This is a surprise WHY?
The McDonald's I worked for had 2 drive thrus and it does pic up as soon as you drive up and we did take pics of the cars
So as someone who use to work for the company the only people who can see the photo of the car is the person taking the money. The people bagging do not see it
I'm pretty sure they take your pic inside as well. Especially if you do their receipt surveys. The "code" you enter in includes the store number, date, time, register and order total, so they can determine exactly who you are. I used to bitch about cold breakfasts on the surveys. For many months after a few complaints, my breakfast food would come out piping hot and I'd have to wait a few minutes for them to cool off. Whether I was at my usual McD's or one 1000 miles away!! McDee's knows who you are... The red haired clown is watching...
I just wanna state that it's called prime7 not just 7 news
Forget the privacy issues, you are eating crap.
I thought this was obvious....
Everything thing in this video is so effen true!
I don't like the drive thru anyway either delivery or going in uber eats drive thru
If they candidly listen to me they have heard me comment. We guarantee fast service, no matter how long it takes.
In this day and age is anyone really surprised? What should concern you is that some5keeps a recort of how often you go to Mickey D's 😳
Your better off going inside and get your order right.
If only the app rewards worked
Those sneaky little b-----s....😮😕
Captain Obvious strikes again!
I follow the Leo Getz method from Lethal Weapon 2.
This is one resend I don't eat there
