I got no slip shoes from Walmart and every little thing and bit gets caught in those. They smell bad, just like the grease trap at work. I just tried using dawn dish soap and a hard bristle brush and just hosed them down but I can still see bits and stuff stuck in there.

We have a whole box STILL and i want to take one so bad
Apparently our bigger manager tried to sell one to our other manager for 3 dollars. Makes me so mad lol like dood who are u

Did everyone else's system change a couple months ago to cause kvs orders to not pop up until an order is totalled? My store manager says "that's just the way it is now" but that just doesn't seem right as someone who's been here for 10+ years. If it is this way now, why? It doesn't isn't advantageous from any position

So I recently started working at McDonald's and I noticed my managers take stacks of receipts and go in the back and fill out mcdvoice surveys and it seems like an almost every day thing is this normal are they supposed to do this because it doesn't seem right

I know I can’t paint my nails but can I do like minimal eyeliner at work and also isn’t McDonald’s required to give a break if you work a certain amount of hours?

I know some people think we don’t do a lot of work but there are a lot of customizations and special requests now even more with the refreshers and Red Bull. I feel like we keep getting pressured to do more work for a minimum wage job. A lot of local fast food restaurants have tips so I’m wondering why we’re not included.

Hey all, new to the team, gonna be working overnights towards an overnight manager position. I have orientation this afternoon at 1pm and was wondering what to expect? Is it all computer modules and paperwork? Do I need to dress like I'll be in the back working? I have to bring my ID and SS card with me so not sure what else I should expect. Thanks in advance! Located in North Carolina.

i have this event that i need to go to, the dates only got confirmed yesterday and i forgot to ask for the day off. i want to swap shifts with someone but i’m not sure how i’d do that.

also i’m a trainee, i’ve only been working there for a couple of months. i have been trained everywhere thought. just wondering if there is any restriction on trainees when it comes to dropping/swapping shifts.

Hey everyone! So as the title said, I just got hired at a McDonald's in France and I start on August 25th. Honestly, I'm super stressed about it.
I checked reviews on Google, Indeed, and TripAdvisor for my location, and people were saying the vibe is really bad: managers shouting during rush hours, a super strict director, and high turnover. Reading ex-employees say the atmosphere is toxic is totally freaking me out. On top of that, I’m really worried about how I’m going to memorize all the orders, recipes, and fast-paced instructions while everything is moving so quickly around me.

Since it's my first time working EVER, I'd love to get some advice:
How do you deal with rush hour stress when managers start yelling or getting rude?

Are bad reviews on Indeed/Google actually true, or is it just angry ex-staff exaggerating?

What should I expect from my first few days and training?

How do you manage to memorize recipes and fast-paced instructions when you're brand new?

Any tips to survive the first weeks and not take the pressure personally?

I'm sorry if I come across as weird, it's my first job and I really don't know what to do.. Thanks a lot for any tips or engagement!

I work at McDonald’s and I’m still pretty new, so I’m trying to figure out if I handled this situation wrong.
There were two orders under the same name. Both were regular orders with things like 20 nuggets and meal deals. Then a lady came through saying her order was also for that name, but she said she had 2 happy meals, which didn’t match either of the same name orders I could see.
I asked her if she had already paid, and she told me yes, that she had paid through the app. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, so I asked my coworker if I should send her to the second window. He said yes, so I sent her over.
Then apparently she ended up saying she hadn’t paid but ended up getting free food. My manager got upset with me and told me not to send people to the second window if they haven’t paid. I explained that I had asked the customer if she paid and she told me she did, and that I had also asked my coworker what to do.
Now I’m worried I got my coworker in trouble too because I told my manager he was the one who told me to send her to the second window.
I obviously understand now that I should make sure payment is actually verified instead of just taking the customer’s word for it, but I’m wondering if I was completely in the wrong here. Also, do you think the customer was possibly trying to get free food?

they also said they would respond if I get the job that day, and that they won’t respond if I don’t get it

I feel this is good for sustainable for break, as it is cheap if you buy from a store the cups/bowls do you guys agree instead of buying mcdonalds where it costs more

I genuinely dislike people that do that. Also why??? You can literally order fresh fries without us burning our hands in the process. I'm ranting into the void here but I just had to say, if you know someone who does this, they need to be shamed.
