I’ve literally just turned 18 and my scheduling manager has given me night shifts. I’ve always been a 4-10/11pm due to the fact I had school during the day and am a young carer to my brother. I have my availability set that I can work til midnight everyday but I can’t do night shifts.

When I said to her by the way that’s outside my availability and I’m unable to do them, she replied with everyone takes their turn of doing nightshifts and didn’t want to hear my ‘excuses’.

Like what the hell? What do I do about that genuinely? I’m so ready to leave🙃

I’ve been at McDonald’s for a year now. I’m usually rather quiet, never ask for help or nothing and I’m always polite. I know that is bias coming from myself but it’s how I grew up. I’ve had many rude and ignorant customers but tonight I had my first back and forth with one.

I was on window when a woman pulled up and immediately started shouting to grab someone’s attention. I go up to the window where she proceeded to ask if she could add a drink onto her order despite her being at the collection window. I explained as I normally would in my normal manner that we can’t do that at this window and she’d either have to go back round or come inside. She then said she had cash and could I not just put it through to which I said we can’t.

She then reads my name badge, says my name although I don’t even think she said the right name, I’m not sure, then smiles and says thank you. I didn’t hear what she said so I was like sorry? And she replies with your tone was horrible and that I was useless. I then said to her I’m telling you what any manager would say to you. I then walked off and let someone else hand her food out.

I know it isn’t that bad or deep but this is my first time in this situation. If she files a complaint will I get in trouble or written up as she has my name?

I turn 18 in a couple months, how do you get out of doing night shifts? Does setting your availability to not being available during the night work?

As title says.

I’m a huge Elton fan but never been able to make it to any of his concerts. I know he done his farewell tour but do you think there’s any chance he’d perform in the uk again? What’s the odds?

I just saw he’s performing in Mexico City so that’s why I’m asking 🤷‍♀️

In your opinions, what are the best seasons?

For me it’d have to be season 6 - 8. There’s something about that era that just makes it so enjoyable to watch!

I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions!!!
