Thread: So what do you think about this????

On a diabetic diet, you are allowed so many servings of starches, etc. Soda is HORRIBLE as it is almost pure liquid sugar.

I worked for almost 8 years for McD's, started opening and drive thru in the mornings and worked my way up to 2nd assistant manager. I miss my job sometimes. Wanna know what was sad?? I was able to make more $$ as a 2nd. asst. manager than a dr. office receptionist in the town I lived in at the time. Depending on if your store is corporate or franchise, depends on what you get for food, etc. I was allowed 50% off as just regular crew, free when I got into management and once a month I could take my family and eat free.

Oh, I forgot to say, our owner and managers always told us "The Customer is who pays your wages, give it to them the way they want."

I have no problem pulling ahead, and waiting an extra 5 minutes for hot, fresh food.

I totally agree.

Oh well, fast food isn't good for me anyway.

They have always done it this way. Granted when I first started working for them we had hand steamers to reheat the meat, bottom bun and cheese(if ordered). Then they figured out that most people were too stupid to use them right and too many people were getting hurt so they went to nukeing the bottoms instead.You can still request to have a sandwhich off the broiler just tell them you want it that way.

BINGO!!! 9 times out of 10 that is why I "special order" items at McDonalds! But I usually go inside to place my order...

Also just FYI McDonald's (as most fast food now) makes their food "to order", which means we make it as the order comes up, so its ALWAYS fresh...







P.s.
I was just stirring the pot...

Wish your McD's was in our town!!! Plus if that's the case, how does a special order slow things down?

Because there are extra steps involved. The grill cooks have to stop and read a slip and then sticker tape it to the wrap. LMAO I find it hilarious that this slows down an order, but it does lol

It isn't anything to do with my job on the front counter or drive thru. I just hate standing there while people have to wait. Its not fun, and NO ONE is happy while they wait LOL

I printed this out and showed my store manager and we are going to have a customer relations class (discussion) to improve how we deal with the customers.

And there isn't one person in my store who could say they didn't get irritated with customers daily, and I cant believe NO ONE who works in customer service and/or fast food had enough balls to admit it and leave me hanging out here alone

Oh well lmao

ANYONE WANT FRIES WITH THAT?

I work hard for my money, and expect to be able to get things my way. I have to try to please ppl in my line of work also, but I keep trying because I'd rather remake something than be in the unemployment line.

Yes, so could you say you were a bit nicer to people @ fast food restaurants because you know how it is?

It's the people who have never had to do this type of job that get to me, they can't understand... If they had any compassion they would not come up to me on front counter and scream at me about a FREE happy meal toy!! I just can't believe people sometimes, it just seems to me that a DOLLAR cheeseburger isn't worth SCREAMING and being a total JERK about, but then again I know how it is so I would never do this....

It doesn't matter how you order your burger at the McDonalds near me. No matter what, you get a cold meat patty...if you get one at all. A coworker one time ordered a cheeseburger and when she got back to work to eat it, it had everything but the meat. I have to say though, the new crispy chicken club is mighty tasty.
I agree, working with the public can often be taxing. I just do what I can to perform my job the best I can and figure if they don't like it, it is their problem. Some people out there can never be satisfied.
