The McDonalds Thread Mk II

Great news for him, hope the stress doesn't kill him Do you work in the same store by any chance?

Slowly losing the will to live (as if working at McD's isn't bad enough) all I've done for the past month is initiate on BOP. Almost walked out today when the BM had a rant at my side since DT was having to park every order. Meanwhile 3 managers on grill side and all of their crew just standing talking.
Those mayo chickens have completely ruined BOP. The company is dulisional with all of the promo stuff they keep giving to BOP to deal with. If grillside got given anywhere near the same amount (currently at 5 - BLC, S/C Mayo, Cajun Wrap, Cajun Deli, Ranch S/Wrap) the whole kitchen would be chaos.

Basically fml for having a BOP team of 2.5 people, two screens full of orders and DT and my BM going crazy. Also, screw everyone who asks for food when it gets like that.

"How long on a chilli deli?"
*scowl*

Are you already a crew trainer or is this additional?

This is to become a crew trainer. I think it's because they've added all the vital ingredients things and changed all the SOCs. I don't really know tbh but oh well

Makes sense! The whole vital ingredients thing seems a bit naff to me. Saw you said you were getting an all new uniform though and was getting jealous though

Yeah I don't really get it aha, like fair enough if you are a new starter it sorta makes sense, but for people who already work there nothing's really been said to us about them or explained them. We've just all been doing what we always have done and getting on with our jobs

Yeah, gave sizes yesterday, she's not decided weather to give us new hats yet (although I personally don't see the point) and possibly getting pens too :')

Were getting tests each week too by the sounds of it. Got one of Sunday on the first 5 SOCs, so health and safety, hygiene and food safety, security, the customer experience (which I've never heard of before ) and another one I can't remember :s

We do yeah

Hope one of you does't get transferred, that's what happened in our store one person in a couple became a manager.

Really enjoyed working since starting however many months ago. Is it possible to become a crew trainer who is part time? I'm part time doing 2 evening shifts and an overnight a week.

The customer experience one recently replaced the hospitality one. And cleanliness will be the one you're missing

We need more crew trainers in my store! We've only got 5, and 2 of them are getting promoted to manager this month so that leaves us with 3. I'm in charge of training just now, and it's making my life difficult :') It doesn't help that there's only other 4 fully trained crew, 1 who just couldn't ever be promoted, 2 who are fantastic when they're in, but keep turning up late and no showing, and 1 who I'd say is probably the best bet, but he only does one shift a week haha. There is a few who just do front counter who'd be good, but it's getting the time to train them up in kitchen..

So annoyed that the schedule is always left to the last minute, it's impossible to plan anything. Would love a job with contacted hours /:

I know how you feel. Annoyed at the moment though, been told to take it easy when I go back to work due to my foot operation and I've been scheduled a near on 10 hour shift next Saturday, alongside working Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.

Plus I've been given a shift outside my a availability..again.

Is it worth applying here for a summer position? I'm wiling to work loads of hours!!

I know someone I went to high school/ college did last summer, started work in like May/ June I think then left to go to uni. Don't know weather he plans on coming back this summer, but out of all the people that left for uni, I think only one or two still work with us.

I'd say go for it, but maybe make your intentions clear if you get an interview. You might still get the job, but just means they don't have to waste time training you on everything if you're only going to do it for a couple of months.

If you can, think about doing full time over summer then going part time after that, even if it's just one shift a week or something, McDonalds tend to be pretty flexible with peoples needs.
