The McDonalds Thread

With milk not ready press the button underneath the milk heater twice then keep clicking the drink you want and it tricks it and lets you make it when milk is cold. Wish my store had 3 machine though only have 2 on weekends milk is always too cold

I've got my OJE/Interview on monday! Just wondering what i should wear..?

This has been asked many times in this thread already!! Why not just search it??
Either way, something smart but not overly. So Black Trousers and a blouse or something. But not a whole suit etc.

Hi guys! Love this thread been following it for a while whilst I have been going through my mcdonalds employment process. Went to my welcome meeting last night! My first shift is sunday. Quick question...

What is my first day of being a customer care assistant likely to be like?

cheers

Hi was just wondering if your meant to pick up your uniform before your first shift or just wait and collect it then?

Ever notice that as soon as you run out of something people suddenly want it?

Our Coke Zero has been off for about a week. I swear I only used to sell one a shift if I was lucky and now that it's broken I get people asking for it all the time

Does anyone else get the "there is no bacon in this big tasty" complaint when what they really mean is "i can't see bacon round the sides and I cba to open it and take a look"?

Hey Wondering If I could get some advice, since theres alot of people here who have worked at Mcdonalds for a long time.

Yesterday my til was down at the end of my shift.

Half way through the lunch hour rush I noticed that there were different denominations of coins in some of the moneybags which I had weighed for my float in the morning. Would this have led to an inaccurate float?

Also someone else(shift manager) used my til during the lunch hour rush because I was instructed to clean up a spill of ice cream behind the counter. I had to help on a few orders also.

The manager also did a refund but didn't input it into the til so there was no refund receipt printed off for me to sign.

Obviously I'm not happy about this at all because when it came to cashing up, it was short so I got a retraining slip.

If i'm right, on the cash procedure for dealings with +/-, I shouldn't have got a retraining slip because someone else used my til(going by the flow chart on the cash office wall) and not to mention the refund not being taken into account and the possibility of the inaccurate float count due to mixed coins.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Other people using other peoples tils in rife in our restaurant and a few of the managers are aware(and pissed off about it) but nothing has been done as of yet.

You are right - you should not have had a retraining slip. Especially because of the unentered refund. However, at the end of the day the retraining slip has already been given and you probably should have contested it more then. I do know how you feel though, my first shift on till by myself I racked up a large number of T reds because I still wasn't very confident. I ended up getting a slip for that shift and I felt pretty cheated. I spoke to my business manager the next day but there wasn't a lot she could do about it - other than empathise.

Bare in mind that you need something like 6 retraining slips for a warning and 12 for a dismissal in either 6 or 12 months! Other than that, they really don't mean anything at all.

As for your reasons, lots of us at my store use each others tills, but it's definitely not as bad as it used to be. Also, I don't know why you had mixed bags of change?! But I assume that if you counted it you would have known it would be £100, regardless of what was in what bag? Sorry we don't make our own floats so I can't really comment on that too much!

Just try not to let it get to you
