      Also some advice i dont know if yall vape but if ya have a nicotine craving while on the clock,good places to take a quick vape break is in the bathrooms (be mindful of the smoke detectors and sprinkler systems), In the walk fridge/freezer out of cameras veiw, itll be cold enough that the vapor as you exhale will be masked by the cold smoke frome the freezer fans that it'll be invisible, outside while you're takeing food to a curbside order/parked car on hold and lastly, in the storage room (if you have sliding shelves) hide away from the cameras, but it will be more risky than the other three risky as anyone can walk including a manager

      Home Depot is the same. The reason is, if you accept tips, it becomes a new norm and people will feel like they have to tip employees. Customers will resent it and do business elsewhere. If the employees don't like the pay or rules, they are free to find employment elsewhere.

      1- it was a holiday Christmas and a customer want to give me $20.00 and I told him we are not allowed to accept it. The customer got mad at me for not accepting it. Then I went over to him and I said OK I’ll take it. And I thank him.
      2- The second one is when I found a pocketbook and I put it in the back office. A female customer came in and had said did anyone found a pocketbook. I said yes I found one. Then she had to describe to me what was inside and what the pocketbook look like. Then after that I gave her her pocketbook. She gave me $60.00 I explain to her that I’m not supposed to accept this. But she insisted so I took it. I did not tell any of the managers about this. It’s no one‘s business.

    I worked for a McDonald's franchise back in the 2000s and one assistant manager often times looked the other way on some rules. He had no problem with us swiping a nugget l, chicken strip, etc so as long as it got written off as expired or hit the floor. Also one evening when he was holding down the fort, we were understaffed on a lenten Friday when they served 2 for $3 fillet-o-fish. Because we were so burned I suggested making a beer run during my break but that assistant manager said he had a bottle of Jack Daniel's in his car.... as soon the dining room closed we were drinking Jack & Coke in the large drink cups!

  • @MrSpecify9
    @MrSpecify9 Před 2 lety +23

    Former worker (Worked both kitchen and service). Lots of thing depend on the location and how the owner wants to operate.
    1. Never heard of that. I called him "the clown"
    2. Yes, but I thought it was public knowledge. No one in the franchise I was working under would give enough of sh*t to fire anyone for letting someone in after dining room hours.
    3. How is this not obvious? We did give cops and emergency workers free coffee (lobby only) in the morning. Just my franchise though. Free food was only given when our location would get "shopped" (inspected) by people from the franchise.
    4. Yes no facial hair. Same with the tattoos. Had a manager that had to wear sleeves to cover his tattoos.
    5. Well we have instructions on how to assemble stuff and everything on "the line" is in the order that things are added anyway. Breakfast may be an exception since all those things are in a wierd order. (I would go off the illustrated instructions)
    6. Yes. That's a food safety thing. McDonald's doesn't want to be liable for cross contamination. Most we could do is sell things separate. I was surprised to see McDonald's advertising things like "land air and sea" on twitter.
    7. Don't remember the holding times but that about right. Also if you want fresh fries, just ask. Making fries with no salt is a huge hassle. Helpful hint: If there's a line in the drive-through, fries are likely to be fresh because so many are being sold and more have to be made. If the drive-through is empty, that's when you're more likely to wait because whatever food they have may been sitting there.
    8. No person is heavy enough to activate the voice order thing. ??
    9. Yes, but I don't think owners make it a big deal at some places.
    10. Yes but most locations have a break room and you can just go on your phone there when business is dead.

    As for the denied accepting tips thing, would not doubt it to just be them not wanting to take any chances. If the cashier's draw comes up short, the camera will show the employee putting money in their pocket. Just do not believe McDonald's would try and go through any effort to differentiate what money came from a customer as a tip and what was from the draw.

    I worked at McDonalds in the early ‘90s and one rule that wasn’t mentioned that I found surprising is I was required to ask, “Do you want fries with that?” Value meals existed but people still ordered stuff without fries back then. I found it unnecessary. I wasn’t going to ask a customer who ordered a value meal if they wanted fries with it when it came with fries. This was also back when McDonalds offered “super-size” and I may have also been required to ask someone if they wanted to supersize their value meal. Those super sizes were insane. You could feed a family of 4 a super sized fries. You would be surprised at how many people never thought to specify size for fries and drink. I remember being concerned that customers would get pissed if I asked too many questions and would just assume customers wanted ketchup and give every customer an entire handful. The McDonalds I worked at didn’t offer self-serve condiments at the time. Sure wish they did.

    If it's an order you can't just go adding things to it unless it's for a manager, a manager can put there order in on the register then go back to the line and ask them to put other things on it and I've seen hundreds of managers do this thousands of times

    This must be for corporate stores only because my nearest McDonald's is a privately owned franchise and they let us go in there to go to the bathroom whenever we want. But I also live in a postage stamp of a town where the biggest crime is that one of the neighbors is feeding the deer and the other neighbor is mad. Oh and maybe the highschoolers are getting high behind the library. But ppl don't even lock their doors.
    So maybe a Metro McDonald's or somewhere with a higher concentration of crime these would be hard steadfast rules but I think that many of the franchise stores are more relaxed.
    The guy that owns the McDonald's also owns the dairy queen, Zaxby's, Captain D's, Bojangles and Dunkin' donuts in this town too. I'm pretty sure he is from here and when his mother forced him to move home to take care of her; he realized none of his favorite foods were nearby so he... Built them lol. They're old old money. He's a cool guy though. He had to close down his steak and shake. I think the real estate location became more valuable than the business because they tore the whole building down and now they're about to build something else there. Welcome to ADHD land.

    Okay here is some of the actual rules. If your pants have belt loops you have to wear a belt with them. You can except a tip if you don't care that the store will drop your pay to Waitstaff Pay. Your sandwich is made fresh. There is a holding bin for each kind of burger or fish pattie or Chicken during peak hours the patties are in long solid plastic pans that sit in this machine and the person cooking the actual burgers has to push a button to turn on the timer each time they make new patties. Eggs and bacon also go in the same plastic pans they are cleaned after breakfast shift by the drive-thru person that takes the money in the first window. I cleaned those pans. The back drive-thru person also puts together the kids meal boxes and adds the toy. You can mix and match any food item. But you can't get fries on your burger or breakfast items on lunch sandwiches like a fried egg because you will have to clean the whole grill again otherwise you just scrape it down between sets of patties. Chicken and fries never go in the same oil at the same time. However when the fryer is cleaned they move the oil that had fried fries to the other vat and then new clean oil is put in the fry side. No you could not give food away unless there was a valid reason like a customer having to wait on fish or chicken to cook, you could give an Apple Pie or small soda if they were in side the store. Never gave food away in the drive-thru. I worked all positions but back drive-thru was my favorite as you got to talk to some of the same people every day. The thing I didn't like was the Manager had to come take my place if I had to go to the bathroom. I almost sh*t my pants one day. Another day The Manager hooked a lugie on a customer's car in the drive-thru because she was passed about something. This Manager would scream at customers call them names swear at them. When the lugie was reported by the customer she tried to claim it was me, but I am not of the same Ethnicity. So the customer had to come in and Identify who it was. She got fired that minute.

When you talked about the nail length, I had to laugh. I worked McD's back in the 80's, we had a employee come in on a Sunday morning, her nails were 2 inches long, she had spent almost $240 on them on Saturday, and refused to remove them, she was written up and sent home for three days, and terminated on the 4th day. But yeah, those were pretty much the standards back then as well. We never did menu "hacks" for the "secret" menu, because there is no such thing.

    There was one time, not long ago, that I got free food at Mc'D's. It was the usual 3-step, drive-thru process---order at speaker, pay at first window, pick up at second window. Well, when I got to the pay window, it was closed, with no one there. I waited and waited, maybe 5-10 minutes. Cars were stacking up behind me, and folks had begun to honk. Finally, I just pulled up to the pick-up window, figuring that I would pay there. Well, they just handed me the food, and told me to have a nice day. Feeling a sudden spasm of honesty, I told them that there had been no one at the pay window. Apparently, that person had walked off the job. This threw their whole system into chaos! With no way to pay at the pick-up window, and their their whole drive-thru system now turning into pandemonium, they just told me, "No charge", and sent me on my way.

But the video mentioned McDonalds requires the employee to either decline it or put it in their charity box, implying the money went to charity just like Walmart requires of their employees. Now if one of the charities happens to be the Ronald McDonald house, that is a grey area.
