r/McdonaldsAustralia

so i've only been working at mcdonalds for two/three months now, and my shift manager had been generally alright. recently, i have been given a date for an important exam at school, since i'm also a student, and the date came out after the week was already closed for unavailability submissions. because of that, i messaged my manager only three days after it was closed and let her know that i would definitely not be available, and that i wasn't able to submit an unavailability because i got my exam date only very recently and didn't make the deadline to submit an unavailability. i got completely ignored, and she scheduled me a shift during my exam anyway. it's not a popular shift, so none of my coworkers are willing to take it, and i don't know many people as i've just started working; is there anything i can do? i don't want to simply not show up, as that'll be unfair to my shift managers, and i don't have time to submit an annual leave request. please advise!!

The hypothetical scenario is that you’ve ordered Maccas to be delivered to your house and you’ve decided that when he arrives you’re gonna prank the Maccas delivery man

I have come up with a few ideas over the years such as

1. Get a friend to hide behind the bushes and while the delivery man is talking to me the friend jumps out and steals delivery man’s car

2. Pick pocket his wallet and pay for the Maccas using his cash, then hand his wallet back to him as he’s about to drive off saying it fell on the ground

3. Fart in his face

4. Switch the speed limit signs to 20 kilometres higher on the route between Maccas and your house and hope that he gets fined

5. Get a group of 6 people, pick him up and throw him into the backyard swimming pool

6. Get a friend to climb up the roof and when the delivery man pulls into the drive thru the friend jumps off the roof onto his car
