How was your time when you worked at McDonalds?

For me, it was not all that great. I got a lot of hours in and some of the coworkers were nice, but I would never work there again!
They only gave us 38 seconds to make meals. A lot of the time, we were short of help and overloaded with work. The managers were cruel. The owner was a terror and would shout at everyone to "go faster!" Everyday I would come home from that place in tears. Most of the coworkers there acted like they were there just to collect a pay check. I was so glad to leave McDonalds behind me.

38 seconds? No wonder they screw up my order so much.

Never worked there, are all fast food places like that with their workers?

I took a job there for a very brief period. The manager was an unholy terror. Nasty and rude. Unfit to train new people. Worst employment experience of my life.

Luckily I've never worked at a fast food restaurant! Definitely a blessing!

I worked at McDonald's for 2 days, what does that tell you?

Jude The Obscure · 10-03-2008, 09:52 PM

I applied there only once........luckily I was hired by Golden Corral Steakhouse instead the next week (Golden Corral is a post I could make--but I don't have the energy).

I've mystery shopped several fast food places and the standards they want to be upheld are very unrealistic. How can you expect a hot fresh burger when it is slopped together and mashed in a bag with cold fries in under 1 minute?

McDonalds was the first job I ever had, lol. I worked there my junior year of high school (so, 1999?) and it wasn't too bad. It was a digusting job (always came home smelling like french fry grease and I gained soooo much weight), but I made a lot of friends and even dated two of the managers that worked there

I left when it changed ownership and became a BITCH to work for. I hated the new management with a passion.

It's not a bad job for a teenager just starting to work, but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise, lol.

Number 9 Dream · 10-03-2008, 11:02 PM

Oh god, no, lol. I worked grill and only did the short shifts because I was young. I think I only worked until 6 or something? But, no, I never cleaned it.
