The McDonalds Thread

Why not talk to them first and tell them that this wasn't part of your availability.

Yea i just went on it when i got back from work now
I didn't quit loll and don't think I will quite yet. Apologise about my rant earlier!
The people are really nice and really helpful but I suppose I got a bit stressed out earlier (quite a fair amount of work from sixth form over half term as well)...I'll have a word with them for the future. I requested day off tomorrow as I have to be in college anyway so I'm sure they'll understand . I think what happened was that, knowing it's half term they put me through as available the whole week when in fact I said I wasn't....the computer automatically assigns our shifts
It's really convenient for me as well as it's really close to home and tbh I think this is the nicest McD in the whole town! :P:

How long have you worked there overall?

I just had my induction today.

I was at the previous store for about a month. TBH it wasn't just shifts I was getting annoyed about, there was a lack of training. I was being placed on grill or dive every single shift when I raised my concerns with the manager he just shrugged his shoulders and said that's the way it works. Sent a couple letters to head office though.

How did induction go?

That's quite rubbish and I can see why you quit. Well done for sending the letters to head office though! I got my training and I still ask so many questions I'm bound to get on people's nerves...better than to get blamed if things go wrong though. You should try to get till...it's hectic but I don't think I'd want to do anything else Steer away from drive thru! At our restaurant it's constantly busy...ppl who work in drive thru never get a moment rest!!!...not to mention handheld!
What did you actually do in dive loll? do you just have to clean things (yes I do realise how stupid this question sounds!!). And how much did they pay you? (sorry for asking so many questions feel free to tell me to shut up )

Induction was alright, and I think it is the same everywhere. Watched the video , filled out some forms then did the test (in 10 minutes this time, because a) only questions with a check answer button actually have to be answered, b) you can click next on the questions that do require answering and even if it is wrong you can ask it to show you the answers, memorise it and go back if that makes sense).

I really hope I get to do till, and fries (can't say you've worked at McDonalds really until you've asked "Would you like fries with that.")

Yeah dive is exactly that. Washing up. And not just the small trays, I spent a fair number of 8 hour shifts washing the massive filters and grills they have. Not fun. The pay was normal 4.80 I think, but this store pays me 5 :woop:

How long have you been working there?

This may sound stupid, but bear with me. A local McDonalds have just put a Part Time job advert on the website. It says the shift pattern is Evening. On the detailed shift pattern below, it says Mon-Fri: Evenings, Saturday-Sunday: Anytime.

My question is, could i apply for the position and work weekends only?

I hate working at McDs.

There's no feeling of achievement, nothing fulfilling about it at all...

I want to quit, but I REALLY need the money... =/

Anyone have any words of encouragement to help me through this tough time in my life? :P

learn how to filter and pull the grills.

scraping the last bit of grease off the wall behind the grill is almost orgasmic

I have an interview and im ******* brix

XD.

With my ~8 hours in kitchen, I can fully attest to this

Want my advice?

Apply for another job.

Hi Guys, I have a welcome meeting tomorrow, but the address theyve told me to go to is different from the one where i want to work, is this normal and just for training purposes?
HELP!!!!
